@atrupar @LaurenDownSouth RFK’s high school math teacher is spinning in his grave…

RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'" Trump: "Right"

@kat_maryb I’ve never had that problem :)

What do you do with leftover bacon?

@ronsterd89 More cheese

What can you add to a grilled cheese sandwich to make it even better?

@Middle_Mtn1 @ratlpolicy That flows down from the Cabinet secretaries, who spend a lot of their days going back and forth to the White House and Capitol Hill. Good luck getting them to move.

@minimeadow @ratlpolicy “Federal employees” is doing a lot of work here. Yes military, SocSec and FBI regional offices are all over. But where are the decisions made? Why does everything have to be in a one stop shop for lobbyists?

If the Trump administration does one thing to reform the federal government, it should be to widely disperse federal offices across the nation. Put the Ag Department in Iowa, Interior in Utah/Colorado, Energy in Texas, Treasury in NY, etc. Get the power & wealth away from DC.

@michelletandler It was a special election. Nobody votes in those unless they are very informed.

You have to be *very* informed to vote "No" on "Should the Constitution of Virginia... restore fairness?" This was a trick question and whoever wrote it should be exposed.

@ClimateWarrior7 Do you have soap and clean water in your house? That’s a huge difference from ye olden days.

I keep hearing that people in ye olden times would die from simple things like a cut finger, because there were no antibiotics. But I don't know a single person who's consulted a doctor over a cut finger.

@minilek @ylecun It looks like people applied to CS and then changed majors in the last couple years. Given the job market that seems like a plausible strategy.

Many folks seem to be confused, and think the collapse of the CS major graduation numbers at Berkeley could be linked to the "AI is taking SWE jobs" hysteria narrative. Here's the easiest way to see that this is false: the timeline doesn't fit. The graduating class in 2027 (first small CS cohort graduating) has students who arrived on campus as freshmen in Fall 2023, with freshman admission targets set (i.e. shrunk) by the university in Fall 2022. So, the hysteria narrative obviously doesn't match the timeline; ChatGPT didn't even come out until November 2022. Now consider the plot below; orange curve is what % of bachelor's degrees are CS degrees each year at Berkeley, and blue curve is what % of applicants applied to be a part of that graduating year, intending to be a CS major in their application (combining both junior transfer and freshman applicants). In other words: * orange measures CS graduate production * blue measures CS demand (via % of all applications to the university) What do you notice? The collapse in orange (CS grads) isn't because of a collapse in blue (demand). In fact it's the opposite: orange collapsed at a time when blue was going up. 1/

@nkrosse Your coffee maker has an operating system. You will now need to verify your age to use it.

I have a lot of questions about this bill, but the 3 most important are: 1) What is a "general purpose computing device"? Does that include programmable calculators? 2) Will open-source OSs, e.g. Linux, be expected/able to comply? 3) What if an app doesn't want the age signal?

@kdan1186 @zachmelloh26 Paying cash with no mortgage would have required either selling a lot of stocks and realizing big capital gains or taking retirement money out of 401k before I was 59 1/2 and still in a high bracket. I’ll pay it off when I’m ready, but with a 3.125% mortgage what’s the rush?

@kdan1186 @zachmelloh26 Not that crazy. We moved to a new town for a new job when I was in my 50s and bought a new house with 20% down and a 30 year mortgage. Could have done maybe 50% with proceeds from the old house, but decided to invest that money instead. 1/2

Most people think you have to pay off your mortgage before retirement. You don’t. It’s a tradeoff and sometimes keeping it is the better move. Here’s how to think about it:

@MyOhMy32169 @MeghanGurdon @MZHemingway Not sure Duffy has jurisdiction here. The airport is run by MWAA. The majority of MWAA’s board is appointed by the governors of Maryland and Virginia and the Mayor of DC.

@MeghanGurdon @MZHemingway Why the effin hell is a far left restaurant owner, for the most part being quoted on a wall at DCA @ SecretaryDuffy?

Every time I pass through DCA I am stunned afresh by the nonsensical banality of this bogus garbage:

@MeghanGurdon @conor64 It sounds like something a chef would say.

@conor64 Wherever you go share a plate of food with a stranger and find out who you are. It’s absurd.

@typesfast Possibly. We sank a lot of Japanese merchant ships in WW2, before the shipping container was invented.

Is this the first time the Navy’s opened fire on a container ship?

@HLMencat @MCCCANM The airlines decided to encourage carry ons by charging you to check a bag at the ticket counter. But you can check the bag for free by bringing it to the gate and boarding last. Make it make sense.

@MCCCANM As a frequent traveler, this is nuts. Carryon should be discouraged, not made even more attractive.

Interesting. I think the analysis Gary does here is correct…some things sound great, but the second & third order effects are undesirable. What happens when the bins fill up & you have to gate check? Have your human rights been violated? Is there a fine?

The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar. Apparently, like every day.

@MakisMedicine @Noahpinion lol

Yes, we are winning the war on cancer with repurposed drugs: Ivermectin, Mebendazole and Fenbendazole. Hundreds of thousands of Cancer patients are already benefiting from these most cutting edge cancer drugs. mRNA technology is a fraud and Ian Weissman is still pushing cancer causing, contaminated COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines, which failed in 2021.

We are winning the war on cancer, and few people realize it yet

@liz_churchill10 lol

KASH PATEL JUST CONFIRMED: THE FBI HAS THE RECEIPTS…THE 2020 ELECTION WAS STOLEN They didn’t ‘win’…they stole the White House with an orchestrated plan that OVERTHREW an ELECTION TREASON at the highest levels LAWYER UP, DEEP STATE TRAITORS…PRESIDENT TRUMP IS COMING FOR YOU

@MarstewS @lady_valor_07 Best answer so far 😊

Fries aren’t available, what are you having with this burger?

@lady_valor_07 A heart attack?
