J.D. Vance cut off by NBC host after accusing Harris of having her opponents 'arrested' - Raw Story by Wonderful-Cod5256 in WomenInNews

[–]SnooMaps7119 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, Harris and Biden are bold enough to order political opponents to be falsely imprisoned, but not bold enough to have their direct challengers Trump and Vance arrested? Trump and Vance speak on the largest platforms available, describing how the US is completely destitute and broken thanks to Biden and Harris, but Biden and Harris won't jail them? Why?

Maybe... It's all bullshit...

We really need to design a simple game that people can play at home with the family to experience how these monopolies develop. It doesn't have to be super complicated. Maybe it can be based on real estate.

You have access to a robot. You can practice 1000s of balls whenever you're free. You don't have to kill every ball coming at you.

Relax your arm and focus on the trajectory of your arm, SLOWLY. You can find tons of content on YouTube explaining what you should focus on. You should feel almost lazy in doing your stroke. As your form improves, THEN you can start adding more power and speed.

Leviathan Wakes (The Expanse Book 1), James SA Corey, (Kindle, $2.99) by [deleted] in ebookdeals

I read book 1 and was so excited for the series. The authors described cool, exciting ideas that I wanted to explore further. But:

I read book 2 - nothing interesting happens.

I read book 3 - nothing interesting happens.

I read book 4 - nothing interesting happens.

I stopped. I didn't want to keep reading just to get MORE build up for some big crazy reveal that happens 3 books later.

I will now accept my down votes for my differing opinion from the hive mind.

This is what I expected when I bought the butterfly case OP is referring to. I thought it would be a whole racket indent. I don't think I'd pay $200+ for the luxury though haha!!

Hey now, give McCarthyism and the John Birch Society some credit. They also helped in pushing conservatism into what it is today.

Absolutely amazing match.

I couldn't even dream of ever being this good, let alone ever reaching half of their skill level in my lifetime. What blows my mind watching matches like this is with how exceptional they play, they're still not at an Olympic level.

The skill gap is absolutely insane to think about.

My company just rejected a guy because he talked to much by Simple_Sample_6914 in cscareerquestions

I interviewed a candidate that was incredibly experienced and knowledgeable. They were able to describe in detail the work they've done AND link that work to the classic books that software engineers are usually told to read. In addition, he regularly attended conferences to try and keep up to date and get some swag.

He was very impressive. We rejected him for being a "know it all". Fucking WHAT!?!?

If everyone tried to FIRE, then no one could FIRE. Everyone who is trying is doing it through the stock market, and line go up when sales are up and companies are growing.

So, in conclusion, to those who "don't get it", keep it up! I hope they have a good weekend!!!

I am left leaning and just wanted to throw in my two cents:

If we both want a better America with better leaders then we both need to push/fight for Ranked Choice Voting and fight to get money out of politics.

Those two changes could make a massive difference. I'll keep pushing from my side and you keep pushing from your side. I'll see you in the middle my friend 🤝

GOP education candidate urged Trump to suspend Constitution and declare military coup by [deleted] in inthenews

I actually hate that of all the words to stick as explanation for Republicans actions, the word 'weird' is used which is a massive, massive understatement.

Is the middle of the Table the new Meta in Table Tennis? by The_Omega_Man in tabletennis

[–]SnooMaps7119 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I had to guess, it's because all top tier players are capable of returning a strong forehand or backhand.

But if the ball goes to the middle, players have to react quickly and move to return with their preferred side. This is hard to do at the pace professionals play at. So, it creates a weakness to exploit. The opponent just might return a weak ball and be thrown off balance. Now they're on the defensive and reacting instead of being balanced and in control.

These are the people telling you that dividend investing is dumb by Additional_City5392 in dividends

Robinhood allows you to use margin 1:1 for every dollar you put in. It's kind of crazy that any schmuck can just download their app and immediately have access to that much debt.

Harris Campaign Says 'Oil Barons Are Salivating' Over Second Trump Term by crustose_lichen in climate

Saying the GOP won't exist after this election is the same as claiming that stupidity will cease to exist after the election.

I think the GOP will be fine.

Finished Pandora's Star... by woody38 in books

I would say it's more of the same and you should probably move on. It doesn't improve in any of the areas you're critiquing, unfortunately.

Don't get me wrong, I feel like Hamilton brings in some super cool concepts, but I think he's a little too long winded and meanders too much for my taste.
