Easter Sunday is this weekend, and current prices at my grocery store are just like they are before Thanksgiving.

Suddenly all the items you need for a feast are deeply discounted: asparagus, broccoli, potatoes, beans, even corn on the cob! (not sure where they grow it in the US this time of year, but cheaper this week than many weeks last summer!)

Baking supplies are much cheaper too—flour, chocolate, butter (Kerrygold is usually $1/oz, this week it was $5/8oz)

Why bring up the fact that Speaker Johnson has no bank account?

Because DOGE’s latest moves at SSA would deny legal immigrants access to banks and credit cards by revoking their SSN’s. “terrorists”, y’know.

I wish someone would follow up on the bankless Johnson story. Does his salary go into an envelope?

Don’t know about you, but I got a slightly better mortgage deal by using auto withdrawal—which means you have a bank account.

@GottaLaff

420k-50k(red finch)-60k(remainder of mikey's bonus)-130k(to daniels) is $180k.

So the "famously frugal" mangolini paid an extra $180k on $240k in bills just to keep his name out of the daniels deal. It also moved that $240k in bills from being paid in 2016 to 2017 and first couple months of 2018. I wonder if they had a liquidity crunch in 2016.

Tried Today to create a simple Google Ad for my Local IT Support business.

Simple ad to let local people in my specific postcode about us.

Didn't realise that Google blocks all ads for 3rd Party PC Support. I can understand some extra checks might need to be made to make sure the business is legit and not people scamming passwords/logins etc but surely legit businesses should be able to advertise, especially as it has my phone number and home address on the ad

But in the next paragraph he says “Their first crack at doing so will come next week, when they go for a season sweep of Dallas.”
A season sweep….as in they’ve already beaten them once. So they have faced that type of defense and won already #GoBirds #MakesNoSense

Javascript is so sucky sometimes.

const array1 = [1, 30, 4, 21, 100000];
array1.sort();
console.log(array1);
// output: Array [1, 100000, 21, 30, 4]

const array2 = [1, 30, 4, 21, 100000];
array2.sort((a,b)=>a-b);
console.log(array2);
// output: Array [1, 4, 21, 30, 100000]

I know that by default it sorts alphabetically, but WHY?! I'M GIVING YOU NUMBERS, SORT NUMERICALLY!
