The whole point was to have a wider range of temperature on your thermometer. Just maybe people want to measure something besides water. And who the fuck wants to use negative numbers and decimals when you don't have to?
It's funny that Walsh's ideas here have absolutely zero basis in Catholic theology but are very similar to the reasoning behind Confucian ancestor veneration. Every political tendency in the West is becoming gradually Sinicized.
Compare how John Oliver talked about Gaza when Biden was president to how he talks about it now that Trump’s in charge. All it took was a Republican taking the reins of this genocide for liberals to finally drop the passive voice. Good to know.
Drove around with a dude from the 95th for a bit. He refused to put his rifle on safe because he "didn't think he could transition it in time to defend himself"...
We let him. Made him feel safer, and it made us feel safer that we had removed his firing pin when he was sleeping
This isn't a thread about the genocide in Gaza.

NEW: The NWS receives permission to hire up to 450 meteorologists/hydrologists/radar technicians after DOGE-related cuts. Agency also given a public safety exemption from federal hiring freeze. (1/2)
So DOGE-related cuts and early retirements eliminated 550 staff at the National Weather Service, and now the NWS is being granted special permission to hire 450 positions to relieve critical shortages.
Such a waste of time and resources.
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. She’s answering a question. She clearly says “No, porque yo soy Guatemalteca con mucho orgullo, PRIMERO yo soy Americano” which means “No, because while I am proud to be a Guatemalan woman, FIRST I am an American”. It’s not really ambiguous!
