Does your E-21 humidifier make an annoying clicking noise? Mine did, but I finally figured out that there’s an easy fix, so I made this video in case anyone else… PERSON AT DESK: Oh my god.

I thought for sure that he had woven his last dream, but that's one thing I'm happy to be wrong about!

I don't know why other people do it, but when I choose the evil options in video games, it's usually just out of a sense of mischief. Video games let you break rules without getting in trouble IRL or hurting a real person, and that can be fun in certain settings.

Slate Truck is a $20,000 American-made electric pickup with no paint, no stereo, and no touchscreen Would you buy a truck this bare-bones?

There was no epiphany or anything -- I just learned stuff over a long period of time.

Wait, are people still using phpMyAdmin in 2025?

Setting the moral issues aside -- which is difficult to do -- I think source of the disparity is that Trump doesn't have a base of voters or donors who want the tariffs -- it's only Trump who wants them for his own weird reasons. The other stuff, while horrible, is what they elected him to do.

The thing is, I can *remember* being able to hear the high pitched sounds emitted by electronics. I can play back the sounds in my head, but I can't hear it with my ears anymore, and I expect I'll never be able to hear it again.

I mean, you're not wrong.

For what little my opinion is worth, *this* white guy thinks forgiveness is a gift, and Rebecca doesn't have to give it if she isn't feeling generous.
