>IKEA reduced their Tertial work lamp to 13 watts, down from 250 watts.

And it accepts "normal" sized bulbs?

This sounds like a plague of house fires.

Nah, you'd be blamed as one of the people who took votes away from Hillary.

Trust me on this.

Dahon makes these wonderful fold-up bikes you can take on mass transit and not look like an asshole (though you will look like a bear riding a bicycle).

When you make pricing unpredictable, customers are going to stay away in droves. As will I.

"But you're taking your life in your hands by biking in Boston"

It's not any worse than say, Providence or Warwick.

You do realize that any other candidate would have nuked Trump by double digits? Yes? Bernie would have annihilated him.

Chuck Schumer was bitching some time before Nov 8 that Hillary was only single digits ahead of Trump. Her lead was literally 5 percent. Yet comments like that did not lead the Hillary campaign to change their strategy (what they called a strategy, anyway).

He was ringing the bell on the Establishment side long enough before the election that someone should have noticed. Nobody did. The odds for Hillary winning the general election were .25 to 1 *for* winning.

On the night of the election, starting at 9pm Eastern, my wife and I were at a restaurant and started watching the returns roll in. After the first hour, we turned off our phones. We knew, to our horror, that we were getting a grifter douchebag for a president.

And it was entirely preventable.

Stop excusing Hillary's god-awful campaign.

>Wikileaks clearly hindered the Democratic candidate to the benefit of the Republican.

The DNC and Hillary hindered the Democratic Candidate to the benefit of the Republican.

1. "I'm with her" instead of "I'm with you" as a campaign slogan - it could not be more fitting a campaign slogan for Hillary.

2. I'm not Trump - a ham sandwich is not Trump. It's not some great accomplishment.

3. Castigate and insult Bernie voters *continually* as if they're not needed to win the election.

4. Not have any real platform. Asked what Hillary stands for, she said "I occupy both the center right and center left" - as if that means anything. And when she won the nomination, she stood on that stage mouthing some of the ideas Bernie had, and then got

5. Hillary ran a campaign full of rookie mistakes, and didn't learn from them.

And her campaign and the DNC are /still/ blaming everyone but themselves.

All the while the DNC has no platform that anyone can discern. Just the other day, Perez was out shaking hands with anti-choice idiots. "My" oarty stand for /nothing/.

My dad and his best friend jumped off the barn with umbrellas because of Mary Poppins.

I'm sure the ancient Greeks were aghast at all the kids lookin' at their moms in a new way after an enactment of Oedipus Rex.

Seems like a questionable use of resources to nab a busboy.

It's more expensive and dangerous to go after members of MS13, instead of Jose Busboy.

But hey, the CIA needs MS13, so I guess they're just fine.

" FBI and ICE agents in Michigan used a Stingray device to ensnare a restaurant worker from El Salvador in March. "

Clearly he was a threat to all of the patrons of that restaurant by not having the proper paperwork.[sneer]

It's obvious that ICE and the FBI are going after the low-hanging fruit to look "productive" instead of "protecting us"

I feel so protected because they're going after Jose or Josephine immigrant that poses no threat to anyone.

> I don't know what kind of music she makes ... nor do I care.

I'm going to inform you anyway.

If you want a Top40 reference, she is the lead singer of the Dresden Dolls.

>don't know who Dresden Dolls are

Unless you listen to only jazz and classical, I can't believe you got through the Oughts without hearing them.
