There's such a reference in a well-known song, Mr. Sandman

Sandman, I'm so alone

Don't have nobody to call my own

Please turn on your magic beam

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream

Slight pedantism, but a 6.25% raise compounded year over year would equate to a 27.44% raise after four years, inflation not considered. A 5.73% annual raise would equate to 25% after 4 years.

Yeah, I also hate back-button hijacking. I suspect some websites do it to artificially force more page views for ad revenue. Try a long-press on the back button to view the history for that browser tab and click on the most recent page you think won't redirect.

Down in Palm Beach county there's still occasionally people who hang out on overpasses over I-95 holding Trump banners on the bridge over rush hour traffic. This was happening in 2023 when we weren't even in election season.

Take it to your local recycling center, if they have the means to collect it.

Just a guess, but maybe they use AI to compare the live person's face to the photo on the ID to verify. Of course if they're comparing to the printed photo and not to a database photo linked to the ID, then the whole purpose of the machine is ill-conceived, as it could be bypassed with a fake ID.
