Pete Rose Lifetime Ban Expires

That trackpad and palm rest is looking like Gizmo Duck
I’m no fan of google, but I don’t see how it could be expected to act as the insurer for people who have fallen victim to social-engineering gift card scams.
It would be a pretty crazy precedent if the judge ruled differently.
A Black woman has never lost the general election for POTUS in US history but 45 white men have lost
Kinda depends on how you are measuring it.
It sounds like you are just going by elected presidents, but quite a few were multiple-term presidents, and those presidents had multiple elections with different opponents.
And sometimes, a losing opponent would go on to win a later election.
Also, no one ran against George Washington, twice.
Out of 59 elections (if you include Washington), I think there have been 49 white guys and one white lady who have lost a US Presidential election at least once (and may or may not have gone on to be President in a later election).

I am exactly as fun at parties as you would imagine.
She looks like Steven Tyler having an allergic reaction to shellfish.
This isn’t a big deal.
If you’re developing in Xcode, you did not buy an 8GB Mac in the last 10-years.
If you are just using your Mac for Facebook and email, I don’t think you know what RAM is.
If you know what RAM is, and you bought an 8GB Mac in the last 10-years, then you are likely self-aware of your limited demands and/or made an informed compromise.
This reminds me of that Chinese law about being personally responsible for all medical debts of a person you run over—incentivizing killing the person, rather than injuring them.
I agree with the graphic.
However, I recently completed a straight watch-thru of every Simpsons episode, and while watching the lackluster episodes from seasons ~20-~30, I have to acknowledge one thing:
Quality of the show and its writing have noticeably improved since around Season 32.
The most recent episodes feel more centered on the family and much less on bizarre cameos and really outrageous situations. It actually feels like a show about the Simpson family and treats the characters more age-appropriately.
I don’t like that they lost/recast established voices of minority characters (Apu, Carl, Dr. Hibbert, etc), I do think the quality and the focus of the show is much better than it has been in almost 2-decades.
Oh yeah, isn’t there an Adderall shortage right now?
The dude probably just isn’t cranked up on his normal level of amphetamines.
I bet he keeps falling asleep, gets even fatter, and is even less capable of following his own thoughts as the Adderall drought continues.
What a great time for him to be on criminal trial…

Were they trying to keep the movie release a secret for a reason?
Seems like a lot of us had no idea it was coming out this weekend…

Improvise tool for lever lock?
(i.imgur.com)
I have an antique desk which has three locks and a single key.
My key continues to work for one of the locks, but when inserted into the other two lock key ways, the key will not turn in either direction (will basically wiggle a millimeter or so in either direction, but does not start to actually turn).
I am a very amateurish lock picker—I can rake a basic lock or use a snap gun, but this lever/mortise lock is very different from anything I have tried to pick before.
I should mention that I used the working lock to confirm that the key fully inserts into the other two locks before attempting to turn the key.
I’ve tried looking up tools for picking this lock and watched some YouTube videos.
I am curious if anyone with experience picking this sort of lock might offer some advice on tools to get or improvise.
I’m including a photo of the key to help identify what might be needed.
Any advice is appreciated.
