Uh, I have some notes. First, lead is toxic-can it be a giant blender instead?

Okay, that was my only note, actually.

Close hexagonal packing. Rigid cylinders will approximate this as well.

Yeah, watching this without knowing who either one is, the guy on the left seems pretty chill and lighthearted even when he’s tossing insults, the other guy seems like an asshole.

Not a joke. I suspect the creation of pet rent contributed to the dilution of the concept of service animals (people insisting that Rex the psychotic chihuahua is an emotional support animal).

No, that’s frayed. Fraud is an amphibian known for hopping.

It would probably be “1000s”.

Smaller roman numerals before larger are subtracted from the nearest larger numeral.

So, IX (1 10) is (10-1)=9. “LLM” would be (50 50 1000) which would probably be (1000-(50-50))=1000. It could be (1000-(50+50))=900 but that would more correctly be written “CM.”

I’m with you on being tired of taking the high road. I think part of that comes from the complete lack of support from our supposed allies (eg, the Democrats.)

Remember that Obama and Biden both could have gutted ICE but they didn’t. Obama in particular didn’t push for universal healthcare or comprehensive immigration reform because he wanted to “save political capital” which he never actually spent.

This headline is garbage. You could put just about any Fortune 500 company’s name in there and the headline would still be accurate.

I think the logic is “babies are innocent, these people have a choice and they made the wrong one.”

And then you get to a point where you look at that and think “clever but I’m sure it’s fucked up in some way that isn’t immediately obvious.”

Who used those triangular pastel buttons? I remember seeing them on some friends’ computers but not on any Dells or Gateway 2000 machines. Maybe Compaq? Or Packard Bell?

I saw Slackware running on a similar config, although it was probably a 486/50 or 486/66.

I remember my dad’s friend upgrading our PC clone to 640K. He used a soldering iron.

My ex and I worked on a birth plan for our second child after her experience with our first was deeply unsatisfying. We discussed home birth but I insisted on a birthing center attached to a hospital in case something went sideways. She found an OB who listened to her, and we made clear what our birthing plan was, and that was respected by the medical staff. As it happened, the labor was smooth and relatively quick, and home birth would have been fine. I’m still glad we were at a facility where there would have been no lag between a problem arising and a doctor being able to address it.

Nah, Thanos was moderately competent.

IIRC, vista got hate because to run it a massive number of users would have to…upgrade…their…hardware.

He’s been like this for a decade. Newsom is a gutless shitlib simp.
