"pinching pennies" implies more control over the situation than "stagnant wages, rent, student loans, etc. have made meals for one person over ten dollars a rare luxury"

The role description describes it as a volunteer role, using the word volunteer three times. So unless they have AI posting these without proofreading I'll assume they meant what they wrote.

I imagine Trump was bewildered by any questions about succession, that doesn't come into play when offing those deemed disloyal. When he learned rioters were being turned away because their weapons couldn't go through magnetometer screening he told aides, "They're not here to hurt me. Take the fucking mags away."

I would hope Nintendo is not using returned hardware for replacements. It happens accidentally in every job I've worked, but absolutely should not be the normal process.

I'm finally getting around to this one, and so many who called this a Nothing-burger . . . are still doing that despite all evidence. After Trump called Putin smart for invading Ukraine, and to this day not having a single bad word in his mouth for a murderous authoritarian. The clown can muster insults for dead/captured service members, those with disabilities, anyone he deems weaker than him, anyone who crossed him without adequate leverage. This book helps answer the looming question, of what leverage Putin has on Trump to gag the normal flow of verbal diarrhea.

Weird that I see this while listening to a podcast about wild pigs on the Auckland Islands. Googling made me realize NZ isn't north of Australia like I'd remembered

I really want to add a glider rating as there's a place up the canyon which has a club. Riding thermals along the mountain ridges looks incredibly fun
