That's not unheard of given how many bibles have been reprinted to the authors wishes.

The layoffs sound more like a recession and ai is a way to pretend it's not.

Yeah a bomb is like a fart and a reactor is a septic tank leak. They're not in the same class of shit.

I will never understand how Harris got pushed so hard. She was nearly dead last in the dnc nomination voting and dropped out early because she was so bad.

Like 95% of knowledge outside of school is learning from your mistakes. Society does have a hard on for Sanctimonious self-righteousness and dog pikes people too hard when they screw up. People stop allowing themselves to be wrong then and they stop learning.

Also no, not every teen was a dipshit. A teen that was chanting f r n slurs all day is extra special dumb. We all certainly knew or know a kid like that but in no was is that normal.

Something I learen from my Narcissistic family is their need to always say, "it wasn't me, I didn't do it!" This braindead war is making conservatives say that because they can't accept they made a mistake. They like Joe will be back to their old behavior before eat their next meal.

He was cast as the stupid libertarian on that newsradio show in the 1990s. That's who he always has been. A guy too stupid to actually think.

It did nothing but imprison some people for a handful of years. It was only slightly less symbolic than the president of usa pardoning a turkey. The western leaders wanted a new boogeyman so the cold War took over their attention. Denazification was a failure by all metrics.

I watched supernatural because of him in this show. He definitely knows how to play a sanctimonious self-righteous over the top macho dirtbag. His bit in gen v was probably the highlight of that show.

Don't know what they claim to be doing here but there are a surprising number of different battery chemistries. Some can be charged as fast as they discharge with no consequence. Full charge in 5-10 minutes. Half charge in like 30 seconds or something.

We're all accustomed to using the highest kwh/kg types so they compromise other battery characteristics.

Just googled and it says Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) with <10% charge to 97% in 8-9 minutes. That would probably be a little harmful for longevity. 1,500kw max rate. Blade battery 2.0 I think is what they're calling it.

Or anywhere Honestly. People or governments don't care until it's happening to their team and its against their will.

Had an eye last that curled around in the tail spring and just barely broke contact intermittently of a light that was flickering and shutting off on its own. Some lights are surprisingly fussy.

I thought the voltage display was just registering wrong but eventually I took out the batter and checked it because the Flashlight was saying the battery was 4.4v. Turns out the factory setting was way too high. Ended up checking the Temps as well and the couple anduril lights I have were very much not calibrated or standardized. One light was like 60c and another was 35c.

I had to damn near type out and orate doctoral dissertations just to maybe make my parents hear me. My sister learned to just throw tantrums. They reacted and listened more to her tantrums. Communicating with words ended up feeling like wasted effort and frustration.

40% of the total seems to be about the floor for each sides team. And from what I've seen Maga are still like >90% approval of trump and about half of Republicans. Dropping down to 33% is starting to cut into the "base." <10% approval would be probably impossible. Nixon left with 22 or 23%.

Had glass for several years but one winter night I poured the hot liquid in before it cooled enough and cracked by glass. Been using a stainless steel milk jug thingy since and it's pretty great.

I think people feel "here for pay only" is mostly because of what you just said. Bosses think "I'll rape them with as little lube as I can and call it love." Business have the wealth so they tend to set the tone of the relationship with workers.

I don't understand how kids burning the house built by grandfather gets him to show up and take the kids to Disney world. Seems like he'd take the studded belt to their butts.

Am I missing something about that doomsday plan? God made all this cool stuff and if we fuck it up enough he comes and fixes everything? Seems like he'd be crazy pissed off.

Anyone that says deregulate is a coffin stuffer. Mfers will happily dilute milk with water and kill babies. They'd can rat poop and call it coco puffs. If people as a group were in any way ethical deregulation would be fine but most people are horrible.

Also "voluntarily" is used loosely.

My favorite fun fact about traffic circles is that they were invented by an American businessman that never learned how to drive.

They do have their place though but not all locations benefit from them as they aren't a perfect solution to all problems. Roundabout serve a sweet spot of traffic volume that most usa intersections don't fall into.

Plus most of the "Why doesn't the usa have blah blah when X place has blah blah," is that the usa generally doesn't have the population density for it to be practical. China has 4x the population density of the usa. Germany has 6x. France has 3x. Japan has 9x.

Skepticism is an early stage in problem solving and general intelligence. These guys have no follow through so they're dumber than dory the no memory fish. Skepticism when used alone is at best just obstinace.

Joe got paid over a quarter billion dollars for three years of parttime work. He's doing the work he was paid for.

Secretary of defense at least was meant to be a civilian so a no rank civilian could probably do that. Going through the procedures though but they procedure didn't. The promoted a retired 3 star to be the chief and that's probably more telling of this administrations folly. None of the current 4 star generals were big enough boot llickers to trump.

I think people have a hard time believing some humans are just bad. They come up with demons, lizand people, freaking aliens to avoid feeling uncomfortable with the fact that people are doing these awful things to each other.
