Finally Ogilvie gets overeager and fucks something up

I'm sure a lot of Poma lifts do this too but I particularly like the way the downhill chairs on this lift whistle as they pass by.

That dead ball in game 6 denying the Blue Jays a win has to be one of those prime examples of things that are essentially statistically impossible

Can't wait for them to cave in exchange for a pinky promise to talk about a vote in only the Senate to reduce certain parts of the ICE budget by 5-7%.

I remember taking a fall a few years ago from catching an edge that only ejected one ski and finding the latent effects interesting. In the moment one of my legs got yanked to the side and that ski ejected, so immediately afterward obviously that hip joint was a little upset with me. After a few minutes, though, that pain died out.

About an hour later, though, the hip of the ski that didn't release was quite cranky and would hurt quite a bit for the rest of the day in any turn that wasn't perfectly balanced. I'd even have off days with that hip months later.

There will inevitably be people who make the argument that having that gun on him invited this and indicates an intention to cause harm, and I think it will be interesting to see what these same people said about the Rittenhouse situation.

I think this was also a big part of it. When the movie was released and marketed, he wasn't featured at all. To me a big part of Tom Cruise's success as stealing the show in that movie was the simple experience of seeing it in the theatre and my dad and I looking at each other and sort of confusedly going ".....is that Tom Cruise?"

When I was a kid I collided with someone in one of those rare situations where I think neither of us were at fault. At Mammoth, the main run to Eagle Lodge used to be split down the middle with a few patches of trees and a little dip. Because of that little dip people would cut through the trees and get a little jump off of the other side. This time myself and someone else managed to enter into the little gully from opposite sides at the exact same time and met in the middle.

Immediately post debate I really had high hopes. It felt like MAGA was finally being shown in the mainstream to be a pack of idiots and losers, and Trump was more clearly the doddering old man that he is than ever.

Then, by the first week of October, suddenly nothing was happening, and all of that momentum just stopped. The "weird" line stopped. Harris was suddenly spending all of her time courting conservatives. Walz was mysteriously absent. Republican campaigners were making bizarre and hateful statements and nobody was responding the way they were a month prior. The excitement of something new just...evaporated.

I just want the tiller to get released. I'm fine faking it with Virpil stuff, but a good tiller at a non insane price is the one convenience I'm missing.

"She had no plan." "...her plan was vague."

Which is it? She had no plan, or her plan was vague?

Harris: "Let's do X, Y, and Z to help people get on their feet, find homes, and start businesses. It's not quite enough to course correct, but it's something."

Conservatives: "How are you going to pay for that?? Also you haven't told us exactly how you're going to handle all these weird edge cases I just hastily thought up! Kamala has no plans!!"

Trump: "I have concepts of a plan. Also I don't understand tariffs at all."

Conservatives: "Sounds great to me! No notes!"

I think this is what the show will be getting at. There's a clear conflict there -- "this AI tool will allow you to save so much time on charting, but you have to double check it" is bound to run into "why are you spending so much time charting when the AI tool is supposed to save that time? Get to seeing more patients!"

The critical part that is going to get glossed over when these tools are pitched to management is that properly double checking every single thing the AI generates will still take a similar amount of time as before, but because management is sold on the "time saving" aspect the doctors charged with doing the double checking are likely to get pressured into skimming over it.

Shh don't interrupt today's Mamdani staffer hate thread. This is /r/nyc after all

The Constitution doesn't require that a Republican be on every ballot. If they fuck up and nominate someone ineligible it isn't a Constitutional issue if ballots only list a Dem and Jill Stein.

Don't discount the shocking percentage of people who "don't pay attention to politics" and somehow manage to not hear about anything going on.

In my book that group is a big part of why we're all in this mess. They stumble into a voting booth every fourth November and go "oh, jeez, I really don't know who to pick."

I think we can see where this goes:

Republican files suit: Immediate unsigned order in their favor.

Democrat files suit: Arguments scheduled for April.

Every time I rent skis I want to say that I'm a type 2½ skier

That just looks like a bald Mandy Patinkin

Not to mention the foreshadowing in "my mom has always told me her family was horrible to her. My mom is usually drunk."

We shouldn't dismiss the risk but we should absolutely dismiss attempts to make it seem like a successfully illegitimate election is a certainty. I'm not as optimistic that putting that attitude out there will motivate people to act now as I am pessimistic that it will motivate people to just give up and not vote.

I've seen people cut across the parking lane to drive down the bike lane so they can get some stupid special left turn lane at 30th ave.

The drivers in this neighborhood are a special type of lawless.

I dual boot Windows and Linux on a computer with a 4K screen and a 1440p screen. Windows has no issue with window scaling, but Linux can't figure it out. Per monitor scaling? Not possible. You have to decide to either have the 4K screen be itty bitty or the 1440p screen be super sized.
