No one’s said pineapple yet? Hawaiian is a staple pizza variety.

I’m curious with all the nonsense Trump and Vance are spewing about Springfield if Ohio starts to come into play. I may be dreaming, they were up 8 or 9 points before the debate, but I haven’t seen any new numbers since.
They also had gone over budget on a few episodes earlier in the season (Elementary, Dear Data and Q Who, the first Borg episode, usually get blamed), and didn’t have much money left.
Some dev was very happy when they figured out how to get work to pay for their trip to the furry convention.
Dispatch, suspect is asking if we know who they are. Contact the local Alzheimer’s care facilities, see if they have any runaways.
It’s not intentional gerrymandering the same way that can happen when laying out congressional districts every 10 years, but it’s a form of gerrymandering from where the state boundaries got drawn. In addition, smaller population states have a disproportionate number of electoral votes, because every state gets 2 votes from their senators + a number of votes from their House members proportional to their population (minimum 1 representative, so minimum 3 total.)
Other than Nebraska and Maine, that splits their electoral votes, its winner take all within each state, so if you win a state by 1 million votes or just 1 vote, either way you win all of the state’s electoral votes.
Someone ran the numbers, based on the 2012-2021 congressional map, and worst case, you could win the popular vote 78.7% to 21.3% and still loose the election.
The Republicans have won the presidency three times this century, but have only won the popular vote once, on George W. Bush’s second campaign in 2004. The Electoral College screwed us over in 2000 (Bush vs Gore) and 2016 (Trump vs Clinton).
The Deomocrats have also won the presidency three times this century, but also carried the popular vote every time they did. (Also, every time they won, Joe Biden has been on the ticket…)
The last Grumman LLV rolled off the assembly line 30 years ago, and has been probably been driven six days a week, except federal holidays, ever since. I’m not surprised they’re on their last legs.
I heard the Dawg Pound in Cleveland is going to pretty empty this Sunday, too. (I’m sure it has nothing to do with Browns having a road game in Jacksonville.)
If he floods the market with shares, I wouldn’t be surprised if the price craters so hard it gets delisted.
“This… former president” is also up there. It’s so much fun thinking of all the other options she swallowed during that pause.
It’s a little complicated, because the school district gets its own budget even though the town and the school district have the same boundaries, and school and town taxes are billed and payed together.
School: $51M Town: $19.2M Police expenses: $3.5M
So 18% of municipal expenses, or 5% of municipal + school.
Interestingly, only 3/4 of the municipal income comes from property tax. The rest comes from licenses, permit fees, service fees, registration fees for rec council programs, and even the concession stand revenue at the municipal ice rink.
Reminds me of a passage from my favorite Discworld book, Night Watch.
“I didn’t think you was stupid, Mister Vimes…” “What?” said Vimes, looking down suddenly. Carcer was smiling cheerfully. “I said I didn’t think you was stupid, Mister Vimes. I know a clever copper like you’d think I’d got two knives.” “Yeah, right,” said Vimes. He could feel his hair trying to stand on end. Little blue caterpillars of light were crackling over the ironwork of the dome, and even over his armour. “Mister Vimes?” “What?” Vimes snapped. Smoke was rising from the weathercock’s bearings. “I got three knives, Mister Vimes,” said Carcer, bringing his arm up. The lightning struck.
It doesn’t even matter. Even if Taylor Swift never makes another dollar, she’s still set for life.
It didn’t matter what the question was, Trump kept turning it back to immigration. He’s only got one talking point, and it’s based on fear of the other.
“Melania keeps bringing it up all the time, I don’t understand why.”
Such projection. Trying to drastically change the rules less than two months before Election Day, that’s rigging.
Why do we have to keep fighting for a higher minimum wage? We should just set it at a livable rate then have it automatically adjusted annually based on CPI or a similar economic metric.
The finest watch commander Mathnet ever had.
That’s some top quality Dwaven battle bread there.
