I saw one of these last night

This is it mostly

Anecdotally previous non voters I know voted this year

Hand picked successor

That’s wild. I wonder what that means in terms of aggregate labor capacity when that much of it is idled. I assume that this burden mainly falls on women and children to maintain households afloat.

Edit: I meant for El Salvador. I know about US prison labor and convict leasing

I guess it depends on the decaffeination method but it might be worth some experimentation to find the right variety.

with any habit change, the less you have to think about it the easier it will be to make the change and to maintain it. Some hard limits can be good and have worked for me like no coffee after 12pm or limit the portion size to 1 espresso or 1 doppio but no more for each serving or only 2 servings per day, etc. I do think that at some level we are fundamentally lazy in the sense that it is easier to do nothing than it is to do something and it is easier to do something small than it is to do something big. That’s where smaller portions and adding steps to preparation (like storing the coffee less conveniently or do not grind more than you want at any moment even if you know you’ll immediately want more) can add friction to the coffee consumption process but also smaller changes are easier to adapt to and carryforward.

How much coffee are you drinking? You can try reducing the portions so that your routine remains then later reducing the frequency. You could also sub some of the regular with decaf in increasing ratios like 75/25 then 50/50 then 25/75

Car accident fatalities are like 10x previous years

Hell yeah dudes

When I was Copenhagen I saw that the historic city hall was flying the Ukrainian flag but would that be prohibited if that law forbidding foreign flags passes?

US vetoes expulsion action

well it’s a good thing they leveled entire neighborhoods to find it

potatoes and beans are good together

The US military budget is a measure of corruption, not competence.

Sums up the whole piece

The Bernie bro trump voter myth is still prevalent

It was a poll result. Highest percentage was for reps and independents

Service forced labor guarantees citizenship temporary legal status

Companies that have presence in multiple jurisdictions and own a lot of subsidiaries who do a lot of inter- and intra-company transactions. Top three telcos as examples
