Yeah, they could conduct a peaceful transfer of power without the congratulations. They would be ruthlessly mocked for being sore losers, but they would be internally consistent at least.

Exactly. His legacy is not doing what he promised, not being that bridge to the next generation. Only giving up his lust for being president when it was too late.

I’m not sure this one will pass congressional approval. I could see it easily going in either direction.

Now you’re going to try and nit pick to back peddle? The economy was the star of the show and Kamala didn’t have an easy to understand answer. The messaging, as always, was piss poor from the democrats.

A guajillo, as in one? You’re proving my point here. And nothing spicy.

Rubio is probably the least controversial pick so far.

On the other hand I can see republican politicians pretending to be stunned in order to say one thing and do another. They get to pretend they don’t like it for the political game and then actually support it.

Oops, someone is a believer in the big lie.

Exit polling overwhelmingly disagrees with you. The number one stated reason was the economy.

If you’re chili con carne is “just meat,” you’ve seriously skimped on the star of the show, the chilis. Which most people seem to do… I’ve seen way too many chili recipes that are basically just a tomato, meat, and bean stew with a dash of chili powder.

I don’t think any food is pure. Traditions are forever changing.

I 100% agree. Hence I said I understand the purists and the chili competitions that don’t allow beans, but I’m going to make mine with beans. Also, much of the best foods are fusions. The chilis, the spicy fruits not the dish, are the perfect example. I can’t imagine a world in which Indian, Thai, or just about any Asian dish doesn’t have a spicy kick to it. Yet every single species of chili originated in South America. Same story with the tomato. My favorite cuisine is Cajun which is French cooking techniques using the South American and Haitian ingredients that were available. There are countless examples like that.

But really? Do we really have to implement learning programs for this shit or something?

Yes. Every time something new is introduced, people have to learn the new thing. Not everyone is as informed as you or I. Most people don’t care that much and have never considered alternative voting techniques.

It’s the paradox of choice. With more options, people become more likely to not choose because it’s overwhelming.

Turns out, lecturing the voters doesn’t make them want to vote for you. Everything you said is correct, but those weren’t the concerns that resonated. To quote Bill Clinton’s strategist in 92, “it’s the economy, stupid.” Yeah, the economy is doing great right now, but you have to ask, “for who?”

Chili is short for chili con carne, not chili con carne y frijoles. I understand competitions demanding a certain “purity.” That said, I will put beans in my chili because that’s what I like.

And that people live in cities.

A lot of them seem to rely on client and server applications. I was hoping for a better way.

In fact, thinking that this is what Trump supporters look like is one reason he won. Ignoring his appeal to the working class was a fatal mistake.

I know this is a niche ask, but it’s there a way to use this device as a gamepad for another PC? I travel for work and it would be a way to have a portable gaming device that also has a second function. Also, can the buttons be swapped to the non Nintendo layout?

Florida would be the better option imo. During that time frame it won’t be tourist season, so those beaches won’t be over crowded either. Florida beaches get kind of nuts at spring break time. The flipside of that is that not everywhere will be open. I visited Destin in Feb before and some of the more tourist spots, like Shed BBQ for example, were closed.

Hawaii overall is nicer and more expensive than Florida, however Florida easily has the better beaches. Snorkeling is going to be better in Hawaii, but the beaches themselves are pretty rocky and kind of mid, to be honest. Florida knows its beaches are the money makers and goes the extra mile to make them nice. The sand is well groomed and it’s that powdery white sand that feels incredible.
