After Supreme Court immunity ruling, Biden draws sharp contrast with Trump on obeying rule of law
  • This speech was a capitulation by Biden. He basically said 'no, executive isn't going to check the judiciary.' His response is 'people need to vote's? What? Where's the vision or game plan to overturning this?
    It's so fucking simple to grasp the shortfalls here.

  • Once there was a car named the Bolt that wowed its fans. However the evil queen witch Barra cast the evil Ceo spell and killed it in front of everyone. Will Bolt jr. be able to take revenge while under the thumb of the evil dictator?

  • Should Democrats stay the course or replace Biden? | Robert Reich
  • The pod save America group had a mini debate about the issue.
    Two key things: A new candidate allows Dems to sidestep the Gaza issue A new candidate means the age issue vanishes.

    As to 'its just a bad debate' - it is the worst presidential debate in modern history. That's a tough thing to climb out from.

    Imo, I hope one of the candidates die from natural causes before the conventions and sidestep this craziness altogether.

  • Should I insulate my garage attic?
  • I have the same problem with a different setup. Half finished walls. Nothing up except the roof. No insulation on walls or ceilings. 15 degrees hotter than outside.
    Lack of insulation on roof and vents that are kind of blocked by the finished walls is my issue.
    Solutions I've thought about are putting a vent up high, by the ^ of the roof. Putting a fan near that. Stapling insulation to the joists, just under roof, to keep some of that heat out.

    Out of left field solution: get a heat pump water heater. It will be a lil loud tho.

  • Come offer suggestions for direct democracy: Voter Initiatives

    I live in California and am sick of good legislation being sidelined by lobbyists. So, let's identify ideas for how voters (in any state) can improve their situation via direct democracy

    CA electricity w PGE is more expensive than electricity in Guam

    My friend lives in Guam. Their electric price is around 0.27 per kWh. I'm getting 0.46 - 0.50 per kWh with PGE. How is it cheaper to send refined oil by tanker to a tiny island in the Pacific than it is to get electricity in a state with massive solar, wind installs and multiple refineries? I'm guessing public ownership of the Guam utility is part of the answer.

    Filtered window fan?

    I live in an area with not so great air quality and no AC. We have little air filters inside the rooms, but at night we have to let the cool (and dirty) air inside to cool down the house. I'd like a solution to blow air in while also filtering it - but aside from one Amazon listing and makeshift solutions with zip ties, I haven't seen great options.

    Any recommendations you have?

    Spouse - 0; garage door opener - 3

    Today marked the third time my spouse has lost their battle with the garage door opener. We have historically been used to a smaller car. But upgrading to a new EV crossover (a year ago) has brought with it its own challenges.

    The first time it happened, the lift gate was up when the door button was pressed. Minor scratch to the plastic covering the light bar.

    The second time, a few months ago, a scratch in the back metal that is somewhat noticeable. They said they were tired after a long day and the washer door was open so it seemed like they needed more space and weren't thinking enough when they closed it.

    The third time, tonight, they were also tired. No washer this time. Noticeable small dent in the metal panel accompanied with a scratch that went thru to the metal underneath.

    I have gone ahead and finished putting up the tennis ball on a string as a guide. I started the idea after incident #2 but procrastinated on putting it up as I thought that was the end of it. I learned we needed it.

    I have let them know that accidents can happen, but that they can be responsible for getting it fixed. It's ok. We just need to keep this car now until it dies.
