    He's been doing the podcast circuit lately. When I first heard him on a podcast, he seemed to look back on Titania as a been there done that episode of his life, but now he seems to be leaning into it. I guess he wants to cash in on it as much as possible, which is fine of course.

    Woke up and processed some emails while Mayla slept. Went to breakfast outside at our resort here in Key West. Hung out on beach most of the day. Went on a private sunset sail from 6-8pm. Ate at Hogfish Grill, a popular spot for locals that our captain told us about. Returned to resort, spent 40m or so in the jacuzzi. Slept knowing I’d repeat the day more or less the same today.

    The sleeve forces the change. It’s basically surgically-induced bulimia.

    The way the law is written it sounds like ambassadors could purchase them from their own funds and install them themselves when off the clock.

    I’m debating whether to mask on the plane today. Probably not, but if people are coughing at the airport, maybe.

    @LuFins-Dad said in The President: I assume you mean interest bearing debt? All we gotta do is sell off a national bank or two… It might also help if you turn Britain back into a massive industrial customer for your exports, and start paying your industrial labor, well, slave wages.

    @taiwan_girl said in Maine rejects sweeping electric vehicle mandate: Exactly. Not the problems with the vehicle I'm not sure how you define a problem, but below freezing temperatures cause lower capacity and longer charging times. And other problems. https://electrifynews.com/news/auto/cold-weather-impact-on-evs-how-freezing-temperatures-affect-electric-vehicles/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwnv-vBhBdEiwABCYQAwzeD9D4OwlfHETmBqxXZQGG7UmxaHS0KtkgeWKO0cj2rhwETyBTEhoC6LAQAvD_BwE EVs may be popular in Scandinavia, that doesn't mean cold weather is not a problem. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/electric-vehicles-arent-ready-for-extreme-heat-and-cold-heres-how-to-fix-them/#:~:text=When it hits 20 degrees,Automobile Association found in 2019. And over the course of the whole 358 miles of mixed driving, the Lightning averaged 1.5 mile/kwh—amounting to about 200 miles of range from the 131-kwh Extended Range Pack, rated for 320 miles. So overall, the Lightning lost about a third of its efficiency—and range—in the cold. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1138989_ford-f-150-lightning-winter-range-charging-test-drive-review#:~:text=F-150 Lightning cold-weather range&text=And over the course of,and range—in the cold.

    @Axtremus said in He's (back) In!: Man, the Republican Party broke even George Santos' limits on lying and swindling. Remember when the Senate expelled Menendez after he was indicted? Good times.
