while i agree some of the challenges are dumb, this challenge is literally just “eat one spicy chip and dont drink water afterwards” i have to imagine that if the chip did kill him, he mustve been allergic or something. ive eaten a whole bag of Paqui chips before no problem.
The bag of Paqui chips are nothing like the single chip that is eaten during the challenge. It is a single chip that comes in its own package for like $10. It is drenched in reaper pepper powder and is literally thousands of times hotter than the bag of chips when measured on the Scoville scale. I’ve done it a few times and it puts grown men on the floor.
The guy would rather be called "Coach" than "Senator," by choice. He doesn't care about what's best for the United States, it's citizens, and his constituents. That's his second job. His first job is "Coach."
My understanding was that the informant bit didn’t really help him out because he stopped being an informant and then the January 6th riots happened.
So he’d stopped supplying them with information before he then committed treason. So it isn’t as if they just weren’t appreciative of the information supplied, the information supplied had nothing to do with why he was arrested.
Interesting. I thought that he had got himself arrested on minor charges before the 6th, to have an excuse not to be there. I assumed that was encouraged by the FBI. Sounds like he was hedging his bets, and lost it all anyway. Either way, I’m laughing at him!
Supposedly it’s a lower sentence than the sentencing guidelines allow (according to others in this thread anyway.) So maybe it did count.
That said, Chairman of the Proud Boys? There’s a limit to what “I was cooperating with the FBI the whole time” can buy you if you’re the reason the crimes are being committed.
How great of them moving things forward for the economy and the environment. /s
Honestly, Burning Man has become a way for rich people to pretend that they are progressive. That and an excuse for drugs (I dont have a problem with the drugs, but they could at least be honest about it)
Fair enough. Do you have a source for that? (Not denying it, just want to see data that I obviously don’t have). I don’t really get why the California part supports a counterclaim either, but maybe that’s borne out by your data.
Income is heavily affected by cost of living. We pay much higher rates for housing, fuel, and groceries than most of the country. Even in more of the rural areas incomes, generally SKU hire to make living somewhat affordable.
I get that about the costs in Cali – but that doesn’t mean lots of people in Cali are automatically poor or can claim not to be well-to-do. In fact, I’d say that’s a dangerous idea, because rich in California can also tend to be richer than elsewhere, for the same reasons you cited.
Is it correct to say the data in this census was self-reported?
Edit: also, do you happen to know the average cost of a ticket to Burning Man? Googling produces weird results due to a strange pricing scheme.
I guess what I’m saying is the largest qty of people going are of a middle/low income based on the average location called home.
The rich represent a fairly small portion. Some of the people in my camp are way above my income but their generosity was astounding. IMO BM brings out the exceptional qualities of people.
Don’t know the average but I think base price is about $600.
I heard that the main chunk of your tickets cost goes to renting out the desert and paying for the federal Ranger and local police support
$600 is tremendous for most people in the US right now – and it doesn’t really matter why the cost is that high, only that the cost is that high given the aim of the festival.
If the figures from the census are self-reported, in a situation like Burning Man, I would question their accuracy. It’s possible that no one has reliable data, but all data should always be treated with a similar vigor. Obviously everyone who goes to BM thinks they are making a statement, but the people who would benefit the most from such a statement likely can’t afford a $600 ticket.
So I guess the tl;dr from me is: I don’t think there is evidence that BM is the populist movement it wants to be anymore.
Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn — the lead co-sponsor for KOSA — said that “protecting minor children from the transgender [sic] in this culture and that influence” should be a top issue for conservatives now.
Blackburn is a loathsome, repugnant person that should never be allowed near public policy. Just yesterday she claimed that “the left is coming after your grill”. Wtf? Thanks Tennessee.
Yes and no. Yes, officers can fill in as acting whatever, so the essential work still gets done, but acting positions also tend to be conservative in how they exercise that authority. But as the article mentions, there are also people stuck waiting for their nomination to be approved so they can actually relocate and take up the job. These people are currently in limbo while Tuberville is fucking around.
I don’t get how holding up military appointments (and thus, promotions) can be done for any reasons outside of concerns for the ability to perform. It makes sense to hold up a position, a single position, out of many due to how an individual has performed in the past and allow for some discourse on the individual’s suitability. That’s completely reasonable and perhaps even desired.
How a single senator holds up hundreds of such individuals over something completely unrelated to the job performance of these flag officers is bewildering. The justification is bullshit.

There’s a senate rule that all general offiver promotions require unanimous consent. Like the cloture rule for judicial appointments, they could change it tomorrow, but a lot of Senate rules are there to allow Senators to feel powerful.
