You call that a pressed ham? Walt, hit the retaliate button!

That’s not the submission deadline, that’s the priority date for this particular patent, basically when it was first filed. If people can find other published information describing what the patent covers that predates the filing it would help invalidate the patent.

I didn’t know he tried for a third term but I’m also not surprised from what I know of him

Thank you for this; I was thinking expat would be closer to emigrant than immigrant. I associate expat and emigrant with describing where someone is from while immigrant describes where someone has arrived.

Fourth grade? I don’t think I really thought about my life 30 years later. Maybe finding out I have ADHD; I’m not hyperactive so not the kind really diagnosed in kids.

And just an addendum for non-Americans who also aren’t likely/don’t have time to click the links, FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt) was elected to 4 terms but died 82 days into his 4th term. He was succeeded by the vice president, Harry S. Truman.

Prior to FDR all presidents had voluntarily limited themselves to 2 terms following the precedent of the first president, George Washington. FDR’s running for a 3rd term was controversial at the time; in 1940 the U.S. had not yet joined the Second World War and intervening was still controversial, although opposition dwindled with the fall of France. Interestingly, FDR seeking a 4th term was much less controversial with the U.S. in the thick of the war in 1944. The constitution was amended a few years later to make sure it didn’t happen again, though.

Ah, the European method of placing ads in American shows anywhere, instead of using the spaces designed in the American shows.

I’d be curious how many phone companies don’t outsource fabrication, even just for final assembly. Maybe Samsung doesn’t? LG, Huawei? And even then I suspect they’d try to retain some capacity with contract assemblers for redundancy in case of a disaster or other issue at their own facility or in case they get an unexpectedly high runner and need extra capacity to meet demand.

Chevy Equinox and Blazer EVs have a decent amount of physical controls for climate and at least volume IIRC.

Any significant reason to make an account with Mastodon vs. Misskey (or I seem to remember the latter having several forks?)?

Saving this to watch later; I love that game!

it gives passengers “flexibility to escape traffic jams, politics, and the monotony of city life,” a Villa Vie Residences spokesperson told Business Insider.

I feel like after 4 years there would be some monotony to ship life as well, even with varied ports of call.

My go-to hot tea is Twining’s Irish Breakfast, stronger flavor than your typical English Breakfast. I prefer it with half-and-half and sugar, but can go with full cream or milk depending on what’s available.

As a southerner, I also like sweet iced tea (“sweet tea”) but was shocked to find what they serve at Chipotle is my favorite. It turns out the tea they use (S&D iced tea blend) comes from a provider in Concord, NC (just outside Charlotte) and they used to sell it for people to brew at home as well, but the company was bought out and don’t anymore. After some trial and error I discovered the secret was to put about half as much sugar in as I normally would. The tea blend itself is excellent, though, much better than you find in grocery stores.

It’s really worth playing and often available for a very reasonable price. I don’t think it’s a genre that ever seemed like something that would appeal to me but I’ve found it very enjoyable.

$0.51/kWh?! Where on earth is that?!
