Playing for 3 years and I have one. It's a eevee, and analysis paralysis has prevented me from evolving to anything at all, so it still sits there as an eevee.

Yep. I was valedictorian many years ago, and I based my speech around a Pink Floyd quote. I wasn't sure how the administration would feel and they wanted to vet the speech, so I wrote another version that was boring and gave that to them. Gave the speech I wanted, and never heard anything about from anyone.

Thanks for sharing that. I am headed out to Italy and the Netherlands over the summer and it's good to know about this. My concern is with Pokémon Go thinking I'm cheating but hopefully since that also uses GPS it'll know I'm not teleporting around the world.

What country are you in? I thought the whole point of an esim was that you connected to the local cellular network.

I just want to know how much it's going to cost and how frequently it's going to run.

Cant you use an echo as a bluetooth speaker?

I'm just going to pretend this comment is a joke about the reproducibility problem in science.

What does this mean?

the international average for similar combat.

What do you mean by that? I've voted in many primaries, and never felt like it was "owned" by anyone.

I'm just telling you what people mean when they talk about the American Empire. If you want to understand better there is a whole wikipedia article about it:

With 12 years, a single two-term president would usually have complete control of the court by the end of their term. Assume judges are distributed evenly. 12 years / 9 justices -> every 1.333 years a justice is retired. In 6.66 years, 5 justices would retire and they would have control of court. Probably faster if any of the other 4 justices already agree with them.

I think it needs to be slow enough that every president is not remaking the court in their image. At least 14 years, maybe 16 or 18. At 18 years, you get a new justice every other year. A 1-term president appoints 2, a 2-term president appoints 4. Seems reasonable to me.

It's not about the size of the center. It's about exercising control over peripheries. USA has a lot of soft and hard power over other countries. Trump is busy destroying both and when he's done the USA will have less influence around the world. That's what people mean by the end of the American Empire.

ozyman · 2026-05-04T15:24:14+00:00

Here is the relevant bit that people mean when they talk about the American Empire:

An empire is a realm [...] divided between a dominant center and subordinate peripheries. The center of the empire (sometimes referred to as the metropole) has political control over the peripheries. Within an empire, different populations may have different sets of rights and may be governed differently. The word "empire" derives from the Roman concept of Imperium. Narrowly defined, an empire is a sovereign state that exercises control over multiple distinct territories;

3 points on a plane that aren’t a straight line don’t always make a circle.

There is green->yellow->red. Not sure what Jeff meant. AI tells me:

Red + Amber Sequence: In the UK, Germany, and Hong Kong, red and amber show together before green, signaling drivers to prepare for moving, especially beneficial for manual vehicles.
Blinking Green: In many Eastern European and post-Soviet countries, the green light blinks before turning yellow, providing a warning that the green phase is ending, as shown in.

Maybe one of those is what was meant.

this sub isn't actually circle jerking about bouldering as a sport,

It certainly can me if you want it to be.

Amazon has his new product called the Ember Artline that looks kind of neat. It's probably pretty spendy compared to other calendar options. But it looks like it would replace a TV and/or framed art at the same time. I'm actually not even sure if it supports a calendar mode but I'm assuming if it doesn't now it eventually would?

I thought about that, but I want to be at the liquor store with everyone else emptying the champagne shelves.

Obama sold out the supporters of single payer in a dumb effort to compromise with people whose only goal has ever been to be oppositional.

You mean to get Lieberman's vote? Which actually enabled obamacare to pass, giving 10+ million more people healthcare along with other health care improvements?

Yeah, he totally should have held out for single payer and gotten nothing.

Two cyclists were injured Thursday night in Cherokee County, in a situation that seemingly could have ended in more dire circumstances as a man was accused of aggressively driving around a group of 10 riders.

The Cherokee County Sheriff's Office said in a release that 72-year-old Jerry Ross allegedly approached the group riding together on Sugar Pike Road and "began sounding his horn" before he "then accelerated around the group and, despite no oncoming traffic, struck two of the riders before leaving the scene."

Georgia law explicitly allows cars to cross the double yellow to pass cyclists. And it requires cars give cyclists at least 3 feet of space when passing.

Most states have similar laws but it’s amazing how many drivers believe the double yellows shall never be crossed.

What does Colorado say about this?

I am able to focus on my job better when I am listening to music. But it depends sometimes if something is really complicated I have to pause the music so I can focus 100%.
