I didn’t mean to imply that ‘don’t worry it can be refunded’ was the entirety of their argument. But it was important. Showing irreparable harm is required to get a preliminary injunction. The supposed ability to refund the cost of the tarrifs was key to saying the damage was reparable. (For large companies at least. Of course some smaller companies could claim they’d go out of business due to tariffs which would be irreparable despite the possibility of refunds but those companies probably didn’t have the money to sue anyway and probably weren’t plaintiffs in front of the court).

Good. My hope is the military intel is smarter than the average public Joe…aka they know how many bullets Iran has left. “Are you feeling lucky?”

@89th said in Ilia Malinin the quad king: Pelvis is Asian! Well his parents are Uzbek (and grandparents are Russian). Super asian. A Super Asian? Wow, was Hitler wrong…

I'm the second American born generation, but several previous generations on both sides were Canada.

That reminds me many years ago there was a thread next door about googling your own name and did you show up in the results and if so what page etc (this was back when most people weren’t googlable). Our own Steve Miller just replied. ‘Nope. There’s some guy with a band who gets all the hits.’

My understanding is that the government dropped the defense and then resumed it next day.

If I were a billionaire I think I'd live somewhere more comfortable, regardless of antisemitism.

That did it. It’s tofu, beans and rice from here on for me.

And honorable mention, not even the same song... but Ray Charles' version of America the Beautiful.

Thank you, TG!

We tried lampredotto in Florence. Nothing too special tbh. But there’s a sandwich vendor in the central market who’s got some very special sandwiches. No tripe in them.

What a dick.

@Axtremus Who?

I wonder what is the point of not seating the secret service next to him. Unless she's been guarding him for several years and he didn't remember her.

Love me. PLEASE love me. (And that describes Kenny, too!)

Still down a little bit, but the rebound gave back about 60% of this morning's dip. I suspect OPEC deciding to increase production helped.
