I think it'll just keep sinking for a long time. The US has been hell for a very long time. It's just gotten worse.

It's illegal to revolt against the state, and it's illegal for individual states to seek independence. And that's for the nation with the strongest armed forces in the world.

I predict a slow, boring descent into a corporatist dystopia.

Looks like a pretty low tax rate to me.

Edit: welp, not that low. Mine looks lower. Weird; I'm in Quebec and I thought our tax rates were pretty high.

Thanks. That's very informative. All stuff I'd never thought about.

Dentists have always done that. It's their divine right to shame us. Take better care of your teeth.

Shouldn't it be encrypted anytime it's locked? Also, why the PIN and not my finger?

Dang that's quick

Bit less than a hundred. I have a Samsung S22+.

The most annoying part to me is that it doesn't finish booting until I unlock it with my PIN. You restart it, leave it on a table, and several minutes later, you want to use it, but not only is your fingerprint rejected and you need to use your PIN, but once you do it there's still a loading step. Extra insulting.

What brand is that?

Ten seconds? Holy crap that's fast. Mine takes minutes.

Nintendo missed an opportunity to make a good, cute one.

Not that I would ever want to be filmed while gaming. If I did, I'd at least try to make a few bucks by streaming.

The drawings are so cute

I wonder if someone's made a joke like this in a science paper before. Something to the effect of "we don't understand what's happening in our experiment as it seems to break the laws of physics. Perhaps the physics police just isn't around to enforce them."
