If trump remains in office beyond his second term it’ll be in the absence of elections

Shart of the deal

My main use case for a desktop machine is cad. I come from an analog graphics background (I’m old). The whole arrangement of tech for graphics is inhuman and apparently designed to torture artists ;) Humans evolved over millions of years to have a finely tuned hand to eye coordination- that is your hands are directly within your field of view while you are using them. The brain requires this and forcing the hands out of view to operate a mouse limits the brain’s ability to function. Humans evolved as bipeds to stand, walk and move from a vertical position. Sitting unmoving in a chair for a significant portion of the day is damaging to the skeletomuscular and nervous systems. Compressing the human scale of motion onto a screen of less than or just barely within (in the very best case) the size of the human field of view limits the amount of motion the head, neck and spine get during the day. Over time this leads to more damage.

Exactly.

Contracted to a private corporation, of course.

Lye (or another similar alkali) and fat (or another similar lipid) are the ingredients in the making of soap. Those ingredients when combined chemically react. The product of that reaction is soap. There is no lye in soap- if there were it would burn your skin.

I suspect that the article is referring to detergent, which is not soap.

I brew coffee with dark roasted beans. I measure the beans by volume before grinding. Been doing that for decades. I guess I’m just making coffee improperly

In my city a program of speed cameras was instituted about a decade ago. A private speed camera corporation lobbied the city to install, maintain and administer the system. Whoever it was that they bribed to approve it did so and the system was installed. For the first year it brought in a bunch of money extorted from the citizens. Then the revenue dropped below the minimum amount that the corporation wrote into the contract as their cut (people figured out where all of the cameras were). At that point the system was costing the city money rather than generating revenue as the corporation had promised. So they started using mobile cameras. This worked for a short time but the blowback was sharp. In the end the system was scrapped.

I think the correct clinical diagnosis in his case is “flaming asshole”

It’s a ‘mixed use’ airport. A military airport with civilian human shields.

To be fair, Brian Thompson tried to kill Mangioni. I’d call it self defense.

Someone needs to do it. Luigi?

Two sentences there. The first is factually correct, though useless. The second is obviously complete bullshit, though strangely accepted by quite a few otherwise intelligent people.

This.

Equal opportunity corruption

Racism.

No genocides? Ummm… I guess you could say that Canada has committed the same genocides as the usa.

Luigi showed us the way.

I just turned 60. To me you look like a very young woman. Make sure to enjoy your life. Tell your loved ones that you love them. Don’t do stupid things that will harm you later, because even though it may look like later will never come, it will.

0 to 30: young. 30 to 60: middle age. 60 to 90: old. 90 to 120: ancient.
