Tax is not included in listed prices in the USA.
It’s infuriating.
The state that I lived in there had a tax at restaurants. Each town was allowed to add up to a percent to that. Some did 0%, some 0.5% some 1%. Also, alcohol was taxed at a different rate.
So basically you had no idea what the actual cost for food would be when you ordered.
Back in the day there was a Reddit channel called “Trump criticizes Trump”, which was basically this sort of thing over and over and over.
Hiking means going for a walk in a park after work, or spending a day, well, hiking in the woods on the weekend.
Is your expectation that hiking means only people that don’t have to spend most of their time working and can wander the earth instead?
It’s a form of lying, but with a specific meaning.
Like how the 9th (or 8th, depending on how you’re counting) Commandment says to not bear false witness. That doesn’t mean that people following an Abrahamic faith cannot lie… just that they can’t lie in that one specific way.
Parallel construction is a way to present evidence illegally obtained by coming up with a plausible-seeming other way it was found.
So, rather than saying “we illegally stopped and searched the defendant” they’ll get an “informant” (sometimes paid, sometimes coerced) to swear that they tipped them off beforehand.

Thanks. I’m a huge Firefox fanboi, but now filled with rage and uncertain what to do. Maybe it’s time to quit the WWW…

Is this real? I never had a Twitter or X account, but going there I don’t see this post.
In the tech fields companies definitely do bring in workers from other countries to take the same jobs for less money. This can be solved by allowing immigrants to keep their legal status if they are fired, and by having union contracts preventing paying them less than native workers.
I just finished reading Allow Me to Retort, which is brilliant:

It is an in-depth review of what a dumpster fire the US Constitution is.
Live free or die.
I cannot make certain teams at my work give a shit about known security vulnerabilities in libraries they use, since they don’t trip our internal scanners. People have their own priorities. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Good artists copy, great artists steal?
The moral of the story is to always just write the damn SQL and stop fucking around with ORM and frameworks and all of it. 😅
Jimi Hendrix riff plays in the background…
Even if they fined him a trillion dollars he would still be a billionaire.
The article lists many names? And quotes what they said? So… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don’t know if they deliver to the USA, but this electric pizza cooker is amazing:
https://a.aliexpress.com/_EHPM5iA
It gets twice as hot as a normal oven in a few minutes and makes amazing pizza. You can buy dough, pizza sauce, and shredded cheese - or make all of these from scratch very easily.
It doesn’t take a lot of space. My rough estimate is that it uses the same electricity as cooking pizza in an oven.
If you’re spending $25 on pizza then it will quickly pay for itself.
One downside is that it does take some space, so if you’re in a really cramped living environment (dorm room, Manhattan apartment) then you might not have room. Also, you may end up eating a lot more pizza than you should…
