Aluminum cans have a plastic liner in them to protect the metal from the acidic soda, but I’m not sure if it leaches in the same way as plastic bottles.

If I had to guess, I’d say that others wouldn’t have gotten a red carpet at all. It doesn’t exactly serve a function, and I’ve never heard of anyone receiving one.

After looking it up, though, it appears that “Heads of State” use them on “ceremonial and formal occasions”. Wiki link here.

Edit: Barack Obama was photographed with a large red carpet going down the length of Air Force One’s stairs. The one for Rubio is miniscule in comparison.

Webster’s updated “literally”. It now includes the definition “to add emphasis”, since people keep using it incorrectly. They update the dictionary to reflect current usage, so I get it, but it still makes me sad.

Rick: “You know, Mr. President, the more you use that word, the less impact it has. At this point, it’s like a terrorist is just a guy you don’t like.”

Pres: “Shut up, you terrorist!”

This is from memory, so isn’t gonna be fully accurate. Ah well.

Oh wow, I just realized that they could put an AI in office if Trump were to die, and the only way it could be found out is by lack of typos and correct grammar.

I miss my Zune. It had a great trackpad for scrolling. I had the 8gb model that was about the size of a granola bar. It felt like amazing, futuristic tech!

Just to add: Since sex is specified “at conception”, there are only a couple cells, and thus aren’t capable of producing either sex cell. The EO says that everyone is non-binary!

It seems like Trump already has a firm idea of what he wants, and will not be swayed by any argument. Any attempt to look like he’s considering other sides is just a sham, like the interview with Zelenskyy.
