So long as you say “I’m in” after you hit Ctrl+V, it counts.

Newport News is still around, it’s the only yard that’s built every nuclear powered aircraft carrier in the world, other than the Charles de Gaulle.

When it was the War Department, it only managed the Army, the Navy had its own cabinet secretary & department, and the Air Force was still part of the Army. When it was all military forces were brought under a single department, it got renamed so it didn’t look like the Navy was being made subservient to the Army.

In the Christmas spirit, it’s mulled hot cider.

This guy is not interested in actually running the House, he needs to be removed from the Speakership.

If enough GOP Representatives are upset about it, they can either band with the Democrats to file a discharge petition to force a vote, the same way they did with the Epstein files. They could also move forward with a motion to unseat Speaker Johnson entirely. If they’re unwilling to do either then, quite frankly, I don’t want to hear about their crocodile tears.

Gerrymandering only affects the House. For the Senate and the Electoral College, the district boundaries are fixed as the state boundaries. (I’m not saying that low population states don’t have a disproportionate influence in either body, I’m just saying the boundaries are fixed.)

Ah, that’s how we wound up with reverse Polish notation.

Three no-bills.

He’s not even using the pretext of a trade imbalance to justify tariffs now. This goes way beyond his authority, but Congress and the courts have been asleep at the wheel so far.

Wow, this century is a long time. Nope, just 25 years. Wait, 25 years? Y2K wasn’t that long ago, was it?

Wow, that FIFA bribe worked fast.

Trying again would be in character for this DOJ. They went before a grand jury three times to try to indict the guy who threw a sandwich at an ICE agent. After the third no-bill, they switched to charging him with misdemeanors, which don’t require going before a grand jury. (A regular jury tossed those charges at trial.)

Does he think “Fog of War” is an actual fog bank?

I feel like weekend before Thanksgiving is pretty standard for a mountain with a robust snowmaking system. Natural conditions are still iffy, though, (even with yesterday’s snow), especially on something steep and in the trees.

I can think of two reasons: they’re either victims or co-offenders. I guess the former is better?

Our black magic markers ran dry, we had to run out to the store to get more. Give us another week.

I don’t think the middle class knows about the first million, Pip.

Can’t be fired from a job you never legally had. Taps forehead

The solar panels also contribute a large amount of drag in thin remaining atmosphere at that altitude, requiring periodic reboosts, which requires fuel deliveries. The drag is substantial enough that the ISS rotates its solar panels to be flat during the night half of orbit to minimize it.
