…so far…

This tracks as shelbyville always advocated for cousin marriage, leading to the eventual rift with Jebediah Springfield.

Worth noting (and mentioned several paragraphs in to the article) he is running for mayor in the democratic primary.

Curious what the European Union guidance says.

Needs to fit in Handmaids Tale here somewhere too.

Cadillac Desert should be required reading for anyone involved with California water.

Clearly hasn’t read Cadillac Desert.

The verge does this thing where they republish the same article with different headlines over and over which results in this. They also do these “preview” articles before the actual reviews I’m assuming to “maximize engagement.”

Banks charge higher fees for credit transactions to fuel the loyalty programs (flyer miles, cash back, etc) on those cards. This is why you no longer get any loyalty benefits on debit cards but you still do on credit. The fees don’t cover the risk on credit cards , the interest does.

Fwiw debit card transaction are capped around 21 cents per transaction depending on the size of the bank holding the account. You’re right for credit cards though. Also, imho, I’ve never seen merchants pass along these debit card savings to the consumer. With they would though.

This is cool but what I really want are rollable screen phones like from Earth Final Conflict.

Miss that era and wish that there were more options for PCI “premium” sound cards. All of the fancy DACs and audio interfaces are seemingly USB.

Fwiw the mayoral election that resulted in Eric Adams was ranked choice.

Same boat, don’t even have a Reddit account any longer, and I’ve noticed an uptick in content that is login-only, so even more reason to not even visit the site.

Kinda a clickbait title, still concerning.

Kinda an incendiary headline when it’s just Mastercard complying with the law. From the article: “The federal government considers cannabis sales illegal, so these purchases are not allowed on our systems,” Really the issue is that Marijuana should be legal at the federal level.
