Fort Hood hasn't been designated as such since May 2023. It's Fort Cavazos.

That's a really weird way of spelling "American traded business interests" because if TikTok is a threat to national security, so is Facebook and The Service Formerly Known As Twitter.

I'd love a a phone the size of my old Motorola Defy.

Businesses already already do exactly that. They decide when they are open or not.
They already talk to suppliers and non-retail customers, daily, about receiving and deliveries.
I have to look up operating hours of places on a daily basis.

We don't do what you are suggesting we do already.
Businesses already change their signs twice a year or more, with seasonal hours that have nothing to do with DST.

Lots of states set the price of lots of things.
Cigarettes. Alcohol.

Heck, in Michigan, the state literally is the sole wholesaler of liquor.

We can do the same for drugs.

But it seems the chessdom site is having some serious capacity issues.

I do all those things, and on weeks I don't use the bus at all, I drive 350 miles a WEEK.

And there's charging stations at the grocery store.

And remember that most of the world doesn't drink milk, because it's a genetic mutation of white western Europeans and their descendants that allows us to digest lactose in any sizeable quantity past childhood.

They may cook with it, bake with it, but they don't drink it. Hell, most of the kids of colour at the local schools are lactose intolerant, which is a real problem when the state says "why the fuck Aren't your kids drinking milk?! We pay a lot of money to ensure they have it, make them drink it!"

And most all American commodity lumber is ACTUALLY made to millimeter specification anyways.

4x8 plywood? It's not 4 feet wide, nor 8 feet long, and it's certainly not 3/4 inch thick, and reading the labels tell you that in little print.

Actually, that's "in like Flint", and it comes from a set of movies in the 60s, which spoofed the Bond movies and their ilk. The Austin Power movies spoof the Flint films more than the Bond films.

So... Can I use this to determine the alpha and beta acid levels in my homegrown hops?

Women didn't have the right to their own vote until sufferage. Ballots were cast on their behalf by menfolk.

If I had Mod points, I'd mod this up.

Men used to walk the ballots down to the polling location, carrying their own, their wives, slaves, etc.

There is NO US constitutional right to a secret ballot. If people WANT there to be, get an amendment passed.

An old Mac SE or SE/30 with a standard set of software (Word 5.1, MacDraw II, HyperCard) provides the basic skills, in an obscenely uncluttered environment, plus an object oriented programming system.

I have a similar setup in my shed, that I still use.
