Good morning! It's around 40° here, but it's supposed to drop to 7° by tomorrow. That's SEVEN degrees. Fahrenheit. The record low in Atlanta was -8° in 1985; before that, it was -9 in 1899. (The record low in the state was -17 in 1940.) Climate chaos!

No. There's a whole series of these. Aliens living on Earth discussing things with odd and/or humorous vocabulary and/or perspective.

Shouldn't we wait for these egomaniacs to be dead before we name things after them?
And given how psychotic they are about tearing down statues and changing building names of people they don't like, how long do they think that their testaments to themselves will last?

I love how the forecasts are getting worse. They said the snow would start here after 10, but I have seen the barest flurries. There still might be a bad storm, and temps are supposed to get down to -10 tonight, but estimation errors are leading me to think that wokism has entered the weather industry and brought it to another level of awfulness.

They have to be careful with making predictions that are easily disproven in a matter of hours or days, unlike their usual predictions (arctic ice cap completely gone, NYC under water) which take days or years to be disproven and are usually forgotten by then. The more people can see for themselves that their predictions are useless, just by looking out their windows, the faster they lose what little credibility they have left.

So being a geek, I read several different online tech sites, and one recently asked all its writers to submit their favorite tech for the year. One writer submitted purchasing a bidet that didn't require thousands of dollars to install. See the page and search for "tushy classic 3.0".
Not exactly what I think of when it comes to "tech", and I have to wonder about getting reimbursed to push the product, but since you asked....

Because my heart weeps for all the poor people in the third world who can't afford them.
Just kidding.
Ekshually, the only real issue is that there's not electrical outlet right next to me toilet, and the seat needs one. So, either figure out a non-grotesque way to run a cord up across the counter to the wall plug, or have another wall plug installed.
I've only used them at hotels, but I'm come to be a fan. Like their ads say; you wouldn't wash your hands or face with just a dry piece of paper, would you? So why there?

Interesting, and thanks. OTOH, the nicer ones (which can be had for $400-ish and up) have the rather comforting feature of warming the water...

If you're getting it on the fly, you're not using the bidet correctly. I know that much.

If you start bleaching it with Courtney Cox, we do not need to hear about it.

Note the irony that the Jewish holiday probably most celebrated by assimilated Jews is a victory against assimilation; Chanukah

Yes. Basically, assimilated Jews are celebrating a victory by Satmar-equivalents over the kind of people they themselves cozy up to the other 356 days of the year.

No one <span style="font-size: 1%; color: white;">(especially not the typical leftist)</span> reads books anyway. It’s much more environmentally friendly to just delete problematic music, ebooks, and movies off of the internet.
