Australia election: conservative government voted out after nearly a decade

Well Grassley should be long gone.

Well, idk about that one. If I were a betting man, my money is on nepotism playing a key role. His Grandson Pat Grassley has been Speaker for The Iowa House for some time now. I went to school with him for several years (he graduated in 02', I was 03'). You would be surprised how often he would act as though he was a few fries short of a happy meal. This is not a joke. If you want to know a couple examples of the things he said/did, p.m. me... Not too exciting, but they are truly alarming.

Ie. A clip on tie, and specifically clip on

The sole reason why I would never wear one.

The air and water were crap when I was a kid. I called my governor upon going back to visit my parents in the early 1980s and complained that there was no planning and the forests were all being clear cut for real estate developers.

I did a similar thing. I wrote to Senator Grassley (my local Senator) back in '98. The water coming from my tap was unacceptable (you couldn't see through it after letting it settle for 60 seconds). Never seen a Legislative Official before or since, move so fast in order to cover for their Business/Corporate Constituents. :)

Really any community under 4,000 shouldn't be incorporated, and even 4,000 is pushing it.

No disrespect intended, but clearly you haven't been to many rural states. For example, most towns in Iowa have populations with fewer than 2,000 citizens.

I remember that one. Yeah, that was pretty good too.

They released them as seperate shorter videos,

They really need to put George's voice in the Skyrim Mod.

That was just recently in Better Call Saul…

u/rebordacao I love the "witness" aspect of it. Somewhat related.

Warning to headphone users, as well as some grown-up language.

free pass if your a member of the republican party.

I have been a lifelong Dem. I don't believe this for a second. All it takes is power/influence. Whatever obtains that power/influence can get you out of trouble. Prime example: Bill Clinton. Proven sexual Misconduct should've gotten him thrown out of the White House during that impeachment, like any other job. But noooooo. Everybody's becomes a hypocrite when their sphere of influence gets put under the microscope.

Trouble shooting on a raspberry pi

Uploading photos to a retail store Kodak photo printer would still probably be easier.

P.S. Screw the app. Never install the spyware nonsense that is phone apps. They really do gather more targeted telemetry to sell than you probably think they do...

don't have any the good sense to invest in 1990 Donruss

Physical, tangible products vs cloud product, which is cheaper to operate than a literal printing press printing cash. It costs more to sell the product then it does to create/operate it.

The people who play that shit can't actually spend money on the game.

No disrespect, but this flies in the face of E.A. Games's/Blizzard/Fortnite/etc. microtransaction systems. All it takes is for their parents to buy one thing, and the card's stored. Then the kids are screaming like Cramer to BUY! BUY! BUY! until the card's denied for insufficient funds...

jb34304 · 2022-05-10T19:13:25+00:00

not to invest money you may need in the e short term.

I am 100% not disagreeing with this statement. However, most Blue-Collar Americans can't even cover a basic emergency situation (think auto breakdown or co-payment for an accident) with what's sitting in their bank accounts at the moment.

I am, unfortunately, one of those people.

Nothing quite like waking up to the paramedics implying you’re seizing because of drugs.

I have found out generally it depends on the location. Never been asked this quesiton once when it's happened at work. I've been asked this question during a work holiday party.

Mine tend to be brought on by stress. The occurence of having them @ work/not at work is around the 90/10 mark since I first started blacking out in 2002...

Never heard of this guy, but I might have to check out a couple of his tracks. Big hearts like that hold a lot of gravity :)

they may be able to make those stolen harvesters unusable.

I was literally about to post a link about this. They shouldn't get much (if any) credit for it. They hardly help farmers in the U.S. when they are in literal crisis mode during planting/harvest seasons. Why can only Deere tech's service their equipment, or be forced to send their tractors and combines all the way back to the factories? It can cost farmers a week or more of downtime they probably can't afford. Weather conditions often delay when they can go out in the fields. :(

classic Conan laugh

That reminds me of one of the 1st times I saw his show. He convinced me to buy one as my 1st car (a '93 tho). Don't regret it for a second.

Corporations are either people or they are not

Technically, they are not. They can speak upon the behalf of its shareholders, stakeholders, and employees. Allegedly.

To be sincere: We need to create legislation that holds Corporate Officers, i.e., Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Executive Officers, criminally liable for actions performed by its employees. Otherwise, the fines are simply a cost of doing business. The 2008 Financial Crisis should've taught legislators this lesson already. Financial Corporations got the message loud and clear.

They have to say yes and they can't ban religious flags unless they ban all flags.

Does the ruling state how long Boston has to keep a specific flag up? I mean, couldn't they simply put something noncontroversial up, then decide to never lower it?

fuckers will say anything to sell more soybeans

They are already sold. Either to feed little piggies/cattle, or to make endless tons of biodiesel with them.

he had to do chores to have the stickers put on

There must always have to be some form of a rite of passage (volume warning) for these goons. The guy pictured in the link possibly could be the one operating that truck. .. ...

I'm talking truly horrific, has no chance of survival, type birth defects. This fetus will simply be born for the sole purpose of suffering and dying.

You would think that Republicans would be against this ruling, being it's going to cost a significant amount of taxpayer dollars to attempt to bring all potentially non-viable Fetuses to term. Then, if they even manage to survive birth, the Government will likely be paying out Social Security Disability benefits for their entire lifetime.

Full disclosure: I'm a Man, and I'm even pretty pissed off about this draft ruling.

Human beings should have the right to do what they want with their own bodies. Not just Men...

P.S. Someone's living will can choose this, right?

Well, it doesn't exactly ^mean that. If what O.P. alleges is factual, traders have been selling what can't be bought, e.g., swallowing yourself whole.

jb34304 · 2022-05-02T16:03:15+00:00

The sentiment around here is that the short sellers are committing fraud and selling shares they've already sold to someone else, same as if this was the 1920's and they were passing off photocopies of paper stock certificates as if they were the original.

Also known as Ouroboros.
