The article actually names the people they talked to. So rare to see actual journalism rather than the usual lazy "we talked to experts", which is equivalent to "we just made shit up".

So we would eliminate smoking the same way we eliminated drug use...by making it illegal.

I already don't use it, you don't have to sell me on it.

You want to fight pedophilia, cut of the trafficking network at the head.

Release the Epstein client list.

They won't, this is how you know it's not about pedophilia, it's about further invasion of privacy and more monitoring of the peasants.

Yes, I'm sure Rolling Stone has excellent insights into Trump's private fretting.

Damn, I was hoping that quote was from Mitch McConnell.

Easiest vote in the world is to vote to raise someone else's taxes. We should do that for billionaires.

"Ok".

I wonder if she sold any stock or took short positions before she tanked the stock.

At some point, that part was taken off the plane and it was replaced, or maintenance was done on it, or maintenance was done on something underneath it. It was then replaced. There is a documentation trail that says all of this was fully completed. The documentation was signed off on by someone who was qualified in this task, and/ or by a supervisor who checked it off.

If there is no documentation, or if the documentation indicates something was done that was in fact not done, the CAA/ FAA is going to have a big problem with this. They are sort of interested in how maintenance is done and documented. If they didn't do this right, what else are they/ have they been "pencil whipping?"

I can see a pretty thorough inspection of their maintenance practices and documentation in the near future. If they find a pattern of this, the maintenance gets decertified and the airline can't fly until they are cleared.

Shouldn't have read that AI-generated book on Amazon about mushroom picking.

It’s almost like a cult for some

Walmart.

At even faintly busy times, they have lines waiting to self checkout, because half the self checkouts are closed. And of course, they have only one regular register open with 8 people with full carts in that line.

  1. They don't mean it.

  2. Their owned politicians won't do it.

Double the price and if fewer than half unsubscribe, there is a net gain in revenue.

Well, it's owned by Google...so...

It's called forced distribution and it's bad for the workers and for the company. It's far easier to sabotage others in your workgroup to bring them a lower/average rating than to try to get that one excellent rating that is probably going to go to the managers golf buddy anyway.

I waited just under a year for my preorder.

Yes, I will buy the OLED one, and pass the original to my son.

I doubt most military people care. Those positions are being filled by acting commanders until people are promoted to fill them permanently, in most cases by the people nominated to fill them. They aren't just vacant.

Retired military here, and I just can't get too worked up over someone filling that position is getting 2-star pay instead of 3-star pay, or Colonel pay instead of 1-star pay.

DOJ already has the unblurred tapes. They are blurring faces to hide the Feds.

She should be facing impeachment ad disbarment.

So throw a civil suit at him. I'm sure the taxpayers of Fulton County won't mind paying for a 10-year court case and appeals.

I'm boycotting it because I'm not a fan of 16-28 FPS and I don't have a $5000 PC to actually run it.

Ah, the Star Trek transporter conundrum.

Because when I shoot people with my crossbow, the cops chase me.

And there's no dragons or snowbears.

He can't change that he used to mod a certain sub, and we can certainly shame him for that.

Yes, but that wasn't the quote.

"They make a desert and call it peace."

What's the most you've ever lost on a coin flip?

Borderlands 2, the ending of the Tiny Tina DLC.

This is the real reason. Google is an ad company, not a search engine.

15 year ago, I slipped in my kitchen and tore my left kneecap in half. 5 years ago, I stepped on the edge of a 1" deep hole in my yard. Rolled my ankle and tore my right kneecap in half as I went down.

Legs go in funny directions when you do that.

Shame they don't hang any more. Maybe she'll do it herself.
