Whoever downvoted you, has never seen actual Robin Williams Standup or knows much about his political views.

Robin hated Bush Sr. and Jr., especially Jr., with a passion.

trump would send him off the deep end, as you suggested.

He was also doing statutory rape things with a minor.

But then I’d only be viewing 5% of the content Lemmy makes available for me today.

Need to get people to bump this higher up. Great take.

Half Kelvins?

Are you attacking my cultural heritage of slurring words like a drunk ferret?

I mean, California, and other states, are 4 syllable words.

Beat we can hope for is an overdose

That is, still, to this day, the only book I could not finish.

Got about 2/3rds of the way through it and violently set it down. I love books too much to set it on fire, but I wanted to. It was the worst pile of shit I’ve ever read in my life. Completely divorced from reality.

And she died penniless and depending on the support of the same social services that she demonized in her book to convince people that capitalist leaders are paragons of humanity and the rest of us are just peons.

Asbestos is notoriously cancer causing, dangerous, EPA damning material that many, many homes, farms, buildings, etc. in America (and a few other countries) used heavily because of the properties espoused in the advertisement above.

And many people have suffered premature deaths as a result.

Asbestos was even used in the Wizard of Oz for the snow falling on the cast.

I had Asbestos in my ceiling in a home I purchased and had to pay $12k to remediate it. They wore masks, had negative pressure ventilation suits on, had to get EPA certifications, checks, etc.

It’s brutal stuff.

That’s not true. And another one.

TL;DR;

They can run up to 35mph over short (20-30ft) distances. Then they can run at a slightly slower (though faster than most humans) pace for a sustained period of roughly 100 feet (30ish meters for the non-'mericans).

In every scenario they can and will catch every human on earth except an Olympic sprinter. And even then, it wouldn’t be a comfortable race for them.

The reason they don’t chase you down and eat you on land, is because they’ve evolved to be ambush predators from water transitions to land. They are lazy. Simple as that. And their food comes to them in most cases. Why would they want to spend all those calories just to maybe get a un-tasty human? They conserve energy so they can perform several ambush attempts for prey, rather than one long chase.

In the end, their current approach gets them more calories for the efforts, which is why they’ve evolved that way.

But they can, on paper, absolutely wipe the floor with you in a sprint over solid, flat land. For 100 feet.

No, sorry, that’s not true. And another one.

TL;DR;

They can run 35mph in that short sprint you’re talking about. Then they can run at a slower (though faster than most humans) pace for a sustained period of roughly 100 feet (30ish meters for the non-'mericans).

I’ve been writing code for 25+ years, and in tech for 27+.

I’m a novice at all languages still. Even though they tell me I’m a Principal Engineer.

There’s always some new technique or way to do what I want that’s better I’m learning every day. It never stops. The expectations for what I consider to be good code just continues to climb every day.

The angle is “Acute”

The tea that looks like coffee, is tea.

The 3.1415…

A Cute (acute angle) + Tea + Pie

A CuteTea Pie.

A Cutie Pie.

Whoa whoa whoa.

You can’t just round up like that.

It doesn’t necessarily matter. They just don’t like running after prey.

They can make swift dashes on land to catch prey sunbathing or something that’s escaping, but that’s the limits of what they’d like to do.

It’s like Pandas. They’re cute as hell, but if it wasn’t for us, they’d have died out already. They’ve evolved themselves to a point where all they eat is one specific plant, and they have such a low sex drive that we can’t even show them Panda Porn to get them horny. We literally have to extract sperm from their balls and inject it into the uterus of the female to make baby pandas.

Evolution is lazy is what I’m trying to say.

Alligators can already outrun a person on land.

They just choose not to. Because they’re lazy and they don’t like running after their prey.

I suspect the same was probably true of whatever it was we killed off back then too.

Yeah, basically that’s what they’re suggesting. Work on strengthening your stabilization muscles.

We’re practically family now

OK. Where is he. I know he’s in this picture somewhere.
