I used to microwave water for all sorts of things before getting an induction stovetop.
Seriously, it goes from tap water to boiling in 2 minutes. It’s a game changer.
MISTER SIX!
Not so much anymore, but man, back in the Blackberry days they were NOTORIOUS!
I don’t think she even knows what she wants. If she didn’t want it to pass, she had her chance to kill it.
Republican is going to Republican I guess…
Because the Senate passed it via reconciliation to avoid the filibuster, if the House rejects it, it goes back to the Senate to be re-formulated into something more acceptable to the House.
We’ll know more when the House votes on it. It may be House members will demand certain things be added or removed.
But then whatever changes have to be re-voted on in the Senate, so she’d have a SECOND chance to vote “No” while still voting “Yes”.
For those who missed it:

“Republican Alaskan Senator Lisa Murkowski said Tuesday that despite voting in favor of the sweeping tax and spending package, she wants the House to return the “One Big Beautiful Bill” to the Senate for further work.”

“The vote was 51-50, with Vice President JD Vance breaking a tie. Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Thom Tillis of North Carolina joined Democrats and voted no.”
Wow! I had no idea that was even possible for a 3 year old! Glad she’s OK!
That sounds kind of scary, did they actually get to the bottom of what happened or was it just “Hey, she can eat toast now, you’re free to go!”
Lanyard hole. Victorinox always considers keyring attachments as features.

Last time I flew was October of '23. No face scanning then, when did this start?
Many apartments have a firewall between units, it’s a safety measure. If fire can’t get through, I doubt mice could.
Close…
“I won’t be able to use much the computer today. I have to go to a place.”
Should be:
“I won’t be able to use the computer much today, I have to go to a place.”
Alternately:
“I won’t be able to use the computer very much today, I have to go to a place.”
Much (or very much) is modifying the action of using the computer, so it comes after.
“It’s incredible how flies the time! It will be Christmas soon!”
Same issue here…
“It’s incredible how time flies! It will be Christmas soon!”
The idiom is “time flies”, flies, the modifier, comes after. “The” isn’t needed and can be left out.
English has a LOT of weird rules, but there are good books that explain EVERYTHING:
Strunk and White’s “Elements of Style” is kind of the gold standard and it’s old enough now that it’s public domain:

While not free, I’d also suggest the Borzoi Handbook for Writers:
Hairless.
Single digits, you can always put on another layer.
Triple digit heat is miserable.
Burned out being a sysadmin, took a lower position, ended up with less responsibility and more pay. :)
Saturday before Easter… 17 or 18 year old kid was going on and on about how he couldn’t wait to get home so he could play Call of Duty all night, and this and that… lots of swearing, lots of talk about shooting and destruction.
Me: “I dunno man, don’t you have to be in bed early so the Easter Bunny will come?”
