This is literally the most research I’ve ever done on this dryer. It is a GE GTD33EASK0WW

I took the buzzer off my dryer immediately once I heard it the first time. I don’t need that in my life. 10/10 would recommend to anyone that is even slightly annoyed with a laundry buzzer.

The lettuce was bought, in the car on the way home, and just before arriving it was tossed out the window

A modern day Carrington Event would probably fuck us up pretty bad, so in a way, I’m right there with you

It was seriously bad!

And we’re seriously unprepared, despite knowing it’s a game of chance while we wait!

Check out my GeoCities

Oh sure, we pay a LOT compared to other places, but at least our telecom security is top notch… (Big ole /s, in case someone may not have heard about the SALT Typhoon stuff yet)

This is a “Be the change you want to see” kind of thing, for me

And legally immune from anything the SC will twist reality to call an “official act”! He, and the people that funded his ascendancy, have a plan

This is a wonderful explainer, thank you!

Probably, but they aren’t required to

According to the National Archives, it seems like succession might not necessarily apply and would likely be argued over by lawyers should he die before the Electoral College meets. I’ll paste their text below, and I pasted the link in a separate answer

What happens if a candidate dies or becomes incapacitated?

There is no Federally-required process to follow if a candidate who is projected to receive electoral votes dies or becomes incapacitated between the general election and the meeting of electors. However, individual States may have their own requirements that govern how electors must vote at the meeting of the electors. In 1872, when Horace Greeley passed away between Election Day and the meeting of electors, the electors who were slated to vote for Greeley voted for various candidates, including Greeley. The votes cast for Greeley were not counted due to a House resolution passed regarding the matter. See the full Electoral College vote counts for President and Vice President in the 1872 election.

We don’t know what would happen if a candidate who, dies after or becomes incapacitated between the meeting of electors and the counting of electoral votes in Congress.

The Constitution is silent on whether this candidate meets the definition of “President elect” or “Vice President elect.” If the candidate with a majority of the electoral votes is considered “President elect” before the counting of electoral votes in Congress, §3 of the 20th Amendment applies. That section states that the Vice President elect will become President if the President-elect dies or becomes incapacitated.

If a winning Presidential candidate dies or becomes incapacitated between the counting of electoral votes in the Congress and the inauguration, the Vice President-elect becomes President, according to §3 of the 20th Amendment.

Strangely, it sort of depends on when. If he dies before the EC meets, it’s up for lawyers to argue, from my reading of the text.

Here’s a horrifying thought: JD’s Silicon Valley puppetmasters wait until Trump has served just over 2 years into his term, then invoke the 25th and install JD. In the meantime, the MAGA types work the system to ensure they can guarantee a Vance victory through whatever means necessary for the next 2 cycles (since his first abbreviated session won’t count as an official term), or a total of 10 years, before most Americans even realize we have sleepwalked into a Vance dictatorship funded by and primarily benefiting oligarchs like Musk and Thiel

TIL, thank you!

Well I don’t like that

From the comments, it seems likely this was not a nuclear test.

According to the US Geological Survey, the depth of the quake was at 10 km, which is too deep for an atomic test. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us6000nwr9/executive

I sure hope no one shares that link, leading to a subsequent spike in traffic and possibly taking the site down as a result. That would be a really shameful thing to see happen.

“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans”

And unbeknownst to me until I went to check to see if I was right about the origination (I wasn’t), “Life is what happens to us while we are making other plans”

• Allen Saunders, Readers Digest, January 1957

I truly wasn’t trying to disparage the source, it was just phrasing that jumped out at me as being a little off

At least one woman and several people…

I clicked the article to double check and sure enough, it’s still there. I’m sure it’s meant to enhance the perceived seriousness of the attack (“won’t someone think of the women and children? Look! They hurt one!”), but it reads more like “one non-person, not understood to be pregnant at this time, and several actual human beings…”
