US Treasury Secretary Bessent: the US will have a low inflationary growth, and inflation is going to roll next year.
He adds: Substantial tax refunds coming in Q1 2026.
Earlier today Trump also said: I believe in the near future you won't have income tax to pay.
@matuzo Happy to be a part of your excellent project!
Question:
So you plan to thaw out your 20 kg solid block of frozen tofurkey in the microwave for 1 minute and 10 seconds.
Which button presses are most optimal?
@karchie
See the thing about it is that I am right though.
Remember how people go on about how the UK is slowly becoming a fascist country?

Yes, goodbye Jury Nullification.
I was a juror. The person who was on trial would probably end up in prison if not for the jury system. I was about 75% sure that the defendent was technically guilty of the crime, but I pushed for notguilty and that person is free today. Because the law as it was applied was, I believe, unjust in that specific case.
Anyway, fuck the Labour Party. Good day.
@libreleah I’ve been on two juries. One of which voted to convict, and it was correct, one to acquit which was regretted by everyone as the uncertainty over injuries and time (an older injury which may or may not have resulted in long term damage). But everyone took both seriously and in context.
@thomasfuchs I hadn't thought about a support bracket like that. Maybe a metal U bracket like you mentioned and then remount all of the hinges pre-bent 90 degrees to the metal with bolts instead.

@alienghic Oh no! I hope you and your family are doing okay.
The adults were more saddened than the kid. One of the other cats seemed to be looking for the missing cat. Though then started using the better boxes the elderly cat had been using.
What’s a time you felt like you were part of a community?
@haubles I recently posted that I'm looking for work and other Rustaceans I didn't even know joined in to attest that I know what I'm doing.
The memories of friends and others lost to AIDS are overwhelming this morning as I ask myself, why did I survive the plague?

The best thing about Christmas shopping is hitting my wife and kids on the head with tubes of wrapping paper.
Big shout-out to all of those who spend time carefully and thoroughly peer reviewing articles! When I started doing research seriously, I was a little shocked how some people will agree to serve as a peer reviewer yet their reviews amount to "looks good to me!" Those who put real thought into the task are appreciated more than you know!
Another wave of impersonators pretending to be me in the YouTube comments.
If you see them, report them. I've added a bunch of new word combinations to the filter list in order to hopefully catch them before any comments are seen.
(This is not an invite to complain that I'm on YouTube, I also post to PeerTube, which is not free of similar issues)
Ärztin zur E-Patientenakte: „Unverschämtheit, dass die Preise da drin stehen“
Ärzte kritisieren die aktuelle Umsetzung der E-Patientenakte und wünschen sich, dass die bisherigen Systeme erst stabil laufen, bevor weitere kommen.
Bien joué.
J'entends les objections et la discussion qui a suivi ci-dessous, mais c'est un bon dessin pour entamer des discussions. Je mets de côté pour mes élèves.
Et bravo de ne pas en être resté au seul climat... c'est tellement fréquent aujourd'hui.
@Daniii merci ! Attention toutefois, le coup de la Super Intelligence ne relève aucunement de la cerrtitude. Ca préoccupe certaines personnes (dont moi), mais plein de gens n'en on jamais entendu parler (et c'est pas forcément plus mal). Par contre, le changement climatique et la biodiv', c'est du solide !
I now have a festive lemon tree. Unfortunately most of the fruit fell off before it got to me, but there's a few bravely hanging on.
