If I press the brake, it should brake. ABS systems work well, but otherwise there should not be any logic built into not braking when I want to brake. Add all the automation into braking for me if there is an imminent collision detected. Extra braking is good. Less braking than I have asked for is bad.

One nation, indivisible…

Hold up, can we squeeze some division in there to make it clear we’re not one nation?

How else do you think they stay on?

Ok, you’re ill-informed.

Considering we only know it’s there because it slightly dims the light from its star as it crosses during its orbit, you would be correct. At that distance, we would never see light bouncing off the actual planet. Even the star is basically a single pixel. We can estimate its size and orbit based on how quickly it crosses in front of the star and how much the light dims, and using those two numbers we can estimate its distance from Kepler 452.

It’s not even as good as it used to be. The quality of the buns and the chicken have dramatically changed. Even the pickles are worse than they used to be. Their sodas have always been mostly ice, and the quality of the waffle fries has always been location dependent. How hasn’t another chain taken over their market share?

Orders to commit war crimes are invalid and do not need to be followed.

I love my dog, but I’ve never had to clean potato vomit out of a carpet at 3 am.

My theory was that he dipped out of the GOP spotlight to plan his return post-Trump and play the part of the reasonable conservative.

Sure, take your pick. I like the school comparison because it’s easier to visualize. But you’re right, spending at the federal level would be more distributed across all programs.

Each one costs as much as a state of the art high school, including 1 year of teacher salaries. That’s 16 districts that could have had better education, and maybe we would have smarter voters, and maybe elect fewer shitbags.

People who don’t care to learn, but want to have an opinion. Doesn’t matter the topic, sports, movies, business, politics, science, every asshole wants you to listen to their half-brained, malformed thought prions, and then insist that it’s disrespectful to point out flaws in their “reasoning.” I don’t mind people being disengaged. It’s a big world, and nobody is an expert in everything. But respect is earned, and being an expert entitles you to an opinion. Everyone else should shut the fuck up.

I have a slow drain so the shower ends up with a shallow puddle by the end. So, no, I don’t like standing in a puddle of my own pee.

But otherwise, pipes is pipes. No judgement here.

Oh, man, that sounds like a lot.

If we’re talking old games that hold up, I would put Rogue (1980) and Nethack (1987) on that list. Rogue is like the basis for 60% of the gaming industry, and Nethack is still being actively developed.

What the fuck are you talking about?

What the fuck are you talking about?

“Do you think healthcare should be free?” is not the same question as “Do you care enough about free healthcare to vote for a candidate who supports it?” Voters are largely uninformed, unengaged, and only rarely do more than show up to vote if they bother to do that.

It counted for a maximum of three votes in three races. Did you not vote for anyone else? Why didn’t you vote in most of the elections?
