Unless there’s another beeper attack I missed, the one last September was directed at Hezbollah, across Lebanon and Syria.

Not quite, but relatively close.

Even though I rarely listen to PSA anymore, one of my favorite insults for him will always be “C+ Santa Monica fascist”

Lemme show ya somethin’!

This accounts for some portion of it, but the other part is the rise in interest rates. With borrowing money no longer being nearly free, companies tightened their budgets.

Just make sure not to lose it.

8.5 years. Coworkers for years, then decided to give it a try 3 years ago.

I think @Quilotoa@lemmy.ca has you beat with ~49 years

Agreed. Why the fuck is a browser allowed to know my battery status or connection strength?

List was non-exhaustive lol

I think you’re wrong. Reason - I’ve been to Bakersfield. And Barstow. And Inyokern. And Blythe. And Stockton.

Yeah, but if the community doesn’t properly set their package language, they may end up breaking through depending on your setup.

Unfortunately, my boss disagrees.

No, Texas (nor any other state) can not secede from the Union.

Can Texas secede? I heard it is one of the only states that can secede from the United States.

It is a common misunderstanding that Texas has the right to leave the United States. The Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC) addresses this on their page about Texas’s annexation:

It is said of Texas (and, occasionally, Vermont) that it received a letter or document of permission to withdraw from the Federal Union if it so chose. […] In fact, Texas received no special terms in its admission to the Union. Once Texas had agreed to join the Union, she never had the legal option of leaving, either before or after the Civil War.

But then how are you supposed to subjugate them???

Completely agree. Falls into the “some people have more money than sense” category.

Eh, it definitely seems excessive, but it’s likely just a matter of scale. If they’re really that well off, then spending 2 grand on a phone would be similar to buying concert tickets, or bringing a friend along to a theme park, etc.

Good rule.

In college, I had a job and one of my best friends didn’t. I’d often ask if he wanted to go do something, like bowling or grab some food. When he’d say he didn’t have any money, I’d say “I’m asking if you want to, not if you can. It’s on me.” I just wanted to hang out with my buddy.

We’ll fuck him, and fuck you, too!
