I really despise this kind of both sidesism. Because the sides are demonstrably different.

Those cats look nothing alike. Should have thrown his ass out for using a fake ID.

Because checkout isn't until 11. It takes time to prep a room between guests. Depending on occupancy and staffing levels you may be able to get in earlier.

From Robert Reich:

Billie Eilish can't run for president. She is under 35.Arnold Schwarzenegger can't run for president. He was born in Austria.Donald Trump can't run for president. He engaged in and supported an insurrection.It's in the Constitution, folks.

Eta: there was already a post on the Reich quote. https://lemmy.world/post/9894249

They wore AR-15 pins for that...https://www.thedailybeast.com/andrew-clyde-reveals-himself-as-source-of-ar-15-assault-rifle-pins

You have it backwards. Living in cities (and especially growing up there) move you to the left. You see people suffering and you know it's not entirely their fault. You get to know other cultures, eat at their restaurants, hear their music etc.

Correct. His latex wings melted and he plunged into the taint.

Three years for a PhD? Must be a Brit or combined degree. Average is almost six at the moment.

I used to teach anatomy 20+ years ago. Sadly many of the skulls are sourced from the poorest people in impoverished countries. Companies pay a death benefit to the families or to the individual and then "harvest" the skull after death. They used to be priced based on the number of teeth and the presence of mandibular/maxillary degeneration. The highest priced skulls would come from donors and would have all their teeth.

Here's a link to the UCLA scandal if you want to get a feeling for how scummy the entire industry is

You are thinking of Pierre Poilievre maybe.

Back in the old days (hangs onion from belt) we could smoke in the office. I knew a 3 pack a day smoker - Canada so 25 to a pack. The only way he could manage to do it is that he always had one in his hand. If he didn't, he lit another one. That meant that he'd often put one down to do something, forget about it in the ashtray, and light another. I occasionally saw him with 3 going at once.

Memento mori is a caution against excessive pride. We are all equal in the grave and we are all going to die. Memento mori tokens or reminders were carried by powerful people to remind them to temper their decisions and maintain humility. Definitely not the "fuck it" attitude of YOLO.

You gotta vote. The courts won't save you. The ballot box will.

Happy Birthday has the kind of universal recognition you'd be looking for. Maybe in 300 years there'll be a lyrical shift towards something more interesting. I know multiple versions of Greensleeves. The Cuckoo is the other song that I can think of with a long history. The wiki article doesn't fully capture it. I'll stick something in here later.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cuckoo_(song)

Please please please let it be Lambert and Keira Metz squabbling all over the continent as they track something stupid.

The concentration of power in the executive branch has only occurred in the last 40 years or so with the push for "unified executive theory". It has accelerated with this supreme Court in just the last couple of years. The court has shown themselves ready to ignore their own precedents, pick and choose historical arguments to buttress outcomes, and substitute their own judgement for Congress's. There is no check on this madness except for court reform.

I used to refer to one my friends as my "heterosexual life partner" when introducing him to people.

This is true for every regulated profession. It's not exceptional.

Smith in his appeal to the justices asked them to take the rare step of reviewing the issue before a federal appeals court in Washington, DC, weighs in.

There is nothing rare about the request. It's called "cert before judgement" and the DoJ used it 10 times in the four years that Trump was president.

It's most commonly used in a situation like this where the appeal is interlocutory meaning the appeal stops the trial cold while it's resolved.

As others have said Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt.

It entered tech lingo way back in the 90s when Microsoft was fighting an early wave of Linux on desktop. They would troll and present themselves as a reliable alternative.

They weren't the first to do it. IBM's unofficial motto in the 70s was "nobody gets fired for going with IBM".

I drive a 2010 Acura MDX. When I bought it, it was one the largest SUVs in the market. When I bought it people thought it was ridiculous. Jump to today. It's midsize. I can't even find it parking lots as it's dwarfed by every truck and SUV around. Including what used to be economy and entry level vehicles. I have crossbars on it for my kayak to boot.

Because he's a long way away. Longer than miles away...maybe...light years?

No. But it's getting there. In business continuity we used to be advised to keep a POTS (plain old telephone service) line around because it would the last service to go down and the first one to come up. About a year ago we were advised that we shouldn't bother. The copper lines convert to VOIP at a switch station.

Leto II was trying to free humanity from the tyranny of prescience. It took a 4000 year selective breeding program to produce Siona who was invisible to the future. It was the undoing of the Golden Path of Paul Muad'dib.

You know that while he was incredibly strange, there were never any credible accusations right? There were a lot of people fluffing the stories trying to get a payout but there was never any evidence of wrongdoing.

Well yes. Except for the fuckable part. And whispering instead of singing.

Prosecution doesn't need him. Rudy has lied and contradicted himself so often you simply couldn't put him on the stand. His testimony would be impeached within minutes. So his only value would be if he could provide background information that wasn't available through other means. Well they have all of his electronic devices (18 from his apartment alone!), all of his texts and emails, what else can he offer?

God's honest truth. 5 minutes of reading content gets stretched into 30 minutes of &$#@ video.

Tell me you that you haven't read the books without saying " I haven't read the books".

Answer: they aren't. It's an influence operation.

Did he put the other shoe back on after losing both socks? WTF is going on here?

Can I help kill it? I hate that goddam thing.

I remember Carly Fiorina getting hired and almost immediately things started turning to shit.

Is this supposed to be funny or something?

It'S NoT UNiquE HAtEr!!1!1

A plebe such as yourself simply cannot understand the patrician level of pleasure that comes from establishing a singular identity in this world of dross.

I think there are two sets of claims in the article. The first set - women hunt - is blindingly obvious and it was stupid to ever think anything different. The second set - women are better suited for endurance activities is dubious and weakly argued.

Timothy Noakes is as good a scholar as we have in endurance exercise, and he points out that all of the ultramarathon evidence is a bit dubious because the sport does not attract the best runners. So East African runners dominate the marathon scene (especially the Kalenjins) but are virtually absent from the ultramarathon world. Why? No prize money or sponsorship. So the fact that European ancestry dominates the longer distance is more a function of who's running than it is a difference in physiology.

So looking at the role of estrogen in race times requires some deeper understanding of who's running and what their overall potential is. I'll note that the ultra scene is generally populated by an older crowd who are following the " if I can't go faster I'll go longer" approach. So maybe men maintain competitive marathon times later into life so are slower to join the ultra scene?

Noakes also points out that a smaller body size works for women in several ways - smaller bodies use less energy to move, generate less heat, and shed heat more effectively. So without correcting body size, sex based comparisons are not deeply informative.

It's not true for gorillas or chimps either - and those groups don't share a social structure. I have a feeling that you are not well informed on this topic.

Kim Kardashian had a game?

I was in the field for years. A lot of the mice we had were maintained with one copy of the gene of interest and crossbred to produce experimental litters (there are a lot of reasons for it, some technical, some practical). But OMG the numbers of mice we went through just to maintain the lines. Forget about failed experiments etc.

It's voter suppression. By limiting the number of voting locations and understanding them you make long lines where people will wait for hours to vote. By not allowing food or water to be handed out they hope people will get discouraged and leave the line. The official reason is that it could be construed as a bribe to vote a certain way.
