I haven't read the article because documentation is overhead but I'm guessing the real reason is because the guy who kept saying they needed to add more storage was repeatedly told to calm down and stop overreacting.

Winter driving and shoulder season driving. Snow, ice, black ice, freezing rain, slush, hydroplaning, driveway clearing, walkway maintenance, windshield scraping, and keeping an emergency kit for breakdowns. Stuff like that.

I can't believe the US voted this complete idiot in as president. Just wow.

Work to live.

Edit: we have built a world where we measure success by money. This has meant we are all in pursuit of it all the time, even if we don't want to be. The rich get richer by driving us to do more with less, which marginalizes those who cannot be a productive part of that. We supress our compassion because it isn't making money. People suffer. Those of us who can contribute subject ourselves to a different kind of stress so we can enjoy a few hours of leisure here and there but we never really are free of the shackles of our employer. If you advance to a management position you are forced to evaluate and possibly fire people you could be friends with. When hiring you are evaluating how well people bend the knee. It's not a great world we've made for ourselves.

I remember feeling like this in junior high. There was this group of athletic dudes who were mind numbingly offensive to everyone. Shoving people, locker stuffing, knocking books out your hand, tripping kids on stairs... Just constant abuse and scorn on anyone not in their group. And these guys were popular. I won't say every girl liked them because there were lots of smart girls. But a lot of girls liked them and guys thought they were cool, etc. It blew my mind that we weren't all ostracizing them for being obnoxious, abusive bullies.

It was junior high. I get it. I moved on.

But Trump's success brings that feeling back. There's no logic to it. It's a creepy mammalian subconscious need to stay on the good side of the bully so you don't end up targeted. Or maybe you see someone acting like you would like to act but can't get away with it.

I have no idea but I blows my mind every time I think about and I know it's what is wrong with the world. No question about that.

Both of these are incorrect. YYYY-MM-DD for life.

Be prepared to be bored out of your damn mind, periodically delighted, and always realizing that yes they somehow found scissors while you looked away long enough to see what time it is. Note: 6 hours haven't passed, it just feels like it.

You can go to the park and come home 6 times. Each time will be an adventure.

They love water. You need to supervise but pouring liquid between vessels is fun. Same with sand. You'll probably need to change their clothes 3-4 times anyway so it doesn't matter if what they are doing messes up their outfit. DO NOT leave a kid like this unattended if they are not confined in a very, very safe place. Ask parents what they do when they need to use the washroom and do that.

Make sure you have a good line up of parent approved snacks and drinks.

You might be able to buy some time with a video but better is to get some raffi songs going and show them how to clap, have a dance party (well away from stuff they can hit their head on etc - you can do this seated).

Figure out the potty training situation but kids this old get upset when away from parents and can regress so could mean they have accidents. If this happens don't get angry. Just change them and back to playing.

Good luck.

If you have trusted friend or relative they can watch them while you use the washroom or google how to get you keys out of the toilet (do not give them your keys or phone - memorize that).

I can't win the case, so give me a shot at pardoning myself once I'm president. --Trump

Not giving a defendant the chance to be president and pardon themselves is a miscarriage of justice! -- His supporters

I am invoking the "I could be president" precedent, your honor. Please delay my trial until after the next election. -- Guy arrested for being an idiot in a few months.

They really don't and if you tried to explain it they would ignore you and change the subject.

This announcement is performative. Probably just a "good" reason to back out of something they didn't want to do anymore, anyway. Otherwise there's paper on the deal and they wouldn't back out.

They will not get involved with you if you don't approach them. Don't do business with them. These guys are not messing around.

However, I have had numerous experiences with people in the group you mentioned. I lived in a neighborhood where they had a clubhouse and it was much quieter and had less crime during their time there.

I worked in a kitchen at a restaurant they frequented for private parties close to that clubhouse. They smoked so much hash. This was decades ago. They tipped very well, were polite to the staff, and never caused a scene (we had a separate entrance in the back they used).

I have been aquatinted with people who were in different states of involvement with them. They had different outcomes. Some fine (tangential to crime not really involved) and others who fared worse. The fared worse guys were like useful pretty criminals who they took advantage of because they wanted to be associated with that group and wouldn't take the hint to get lost. I'm not discussing specifics.

Finally, if you're life their neighbour and they ask you to come over for a beer just say you're busy. If a guy shows up from out of town and you run into him in the driveway don't ask why he's there. They won't involve you in their business but might notice if you seem curious.

The Moon said it might join NATO so they had to hit it. They really had no choice.

As a developer, I am absolutely amazed that any of this (all the software you are using, all of it) even works a little. So: no.

I independently came up with "federation" (as in thought of it but not exactly this, and was building on others work) as the basis for a masters thesis in the early 2000s but left the program to get a job so never saw it through.

So, no, I am not annoyed. I am amazed, grateful, impressed, and humbled but I am not annoyed.

Cook.

Kitchen staff, for the most part, work long hours in chronically understaffed kitchens for very little pay. You get a break when things slow down and chances are you're going to be eating, hitting the bathroom, and trying to get a little sit time in a milk crate out back in that short little window (hint, pick two of those, the third might not happen).

You get burned, cut, over heated, covered in filth, and breathe in noxious crap all day from stoves, fryers, industrial cleaning chemicals, and other things.

You, probably, and a lot of your coworkers are short tempered, sore, tired, and possibly on drugs or alcohol. You are surrounded by ideal weapons for hurting others and you will be in or see a fight every so often.

Wait staff pretend to like you but really they work shorter shifts, go home relatively unscathed, and make a fortune in tips. So you also dislike and resent them. You don't want to but see above.

You work when everyone else is off so you end up hanging out with people in similar situations who aren't always the best people for things like networking into a better job. They really like partying though, and who needs a future.

Then you get a little older. Maybe you are running a kitchen and finally don't need to have roommates to afford the horrible apartment but you're only there about seven hours in a row at any given time. You met someone through friends but they don't see a future because you are always working.

Eventually, health issues force you to find other work and you claw your way to normalcy 15 years behind everyone else in retirement saving, salary growth, and so on.

You broke logic to a chimp fight.

Still waiting to hear how blockchain factors in

Really, an inability to pay will be far more damaging to his campaign than a criminal conviction or jail time. Let's see how it goes.

"that you know can never happen again" is code for "we're not going to change the rules to prevent this because we're running this same play next time but we'll insurrect harder this time".

The problem here is there's a sub-group of Trump supporters who will read this and think "yeah, someone should just take out Hunter Biden, that will send a real message". And there's a sub-group of that group that will possibly try to do it.

Trump is well aware, and possibly proud of, the fact that statements from him can lead to real world violence.

He was trying to get the metal detectors removed from the Jan 6 rally because "they're not here to hurt me". This indicates he knew people would try to come armed and that they intended to hurt someone, just not him.

I remember finding a bug in the Linux kernel re AMD processors a very, very long time ago. I documented and reported it and later saw the report in a changelog or something. Still riding high off that 25 years later (I think, it's been a while).

When I hear "I got fired for my political beliefs", I think "they got fired for being a contrarian blowhard with no impulse control".

I have had numerous managers tell me there was no time for QA in my storied career. Or documentation. Or backups. Or redundancy. And so on.

A pardon is essentially that. But only literally in the case of a conviction. You can issue blanket pardons which basically say "if you did something, you are pardoned". These do not have the direct acknowledgement of guilt but it's obviously heavily implied.

Switch to oral exam and you'll know fairly quickly who is actually learning the material.

The people handling him knew exactly what was going on there. This happens all the time, I'm guessing.

Stochastic altruism.

One of my most disappointing moments as an adult, which is really saying something, was getting my wife a 5g phone and realizing it was not noticeably faster in any way to the one it replaced while on a 5g network using any data service.

Genetics

Stochastic terrorism is pretty much table stakes for the Right now.

You aren't dealing with a government (although they also let nothing like this go), it's organized crime on a grand scale.

Let's be clear, Nixon felt no shame. He was simply avoiding further besmirchment.

Takes the drink away and hands you a gun and car keys.

When you start talking about consent they get uncomfortable and that's just a bridge too far. It's really, really close to accountability, the one thing they hate more than anything else.

An older relative is here for the holidays and was watching some YouTube yesterday. Somehow, there exists a 30 minute which talked all about what a genius Trump was and how he doesn't like electric vehicles. Just this endless stream of "Donald Trump visionary policies on..." and his brilliant predictions that were all true. No details, references, or a critical thought about how Trump probably doesn't know that there's anything inside the parts of the car he can't see.

Edit - what I am trying to point out is that this goes way beyond traditional news outlets. I don't think this guy watches a lot of news. I do think he considers himself well informed. We are Canadian, BTW. He's into cars (and an incredible mechanic as well as being a generally good person I enjoy spending time with) so this is on his feed.

"we can hide your leak for a modest subscription fee", probably

• Oh, there's no way he said it
• Ok, I guess he did but it's taken out of context
• Looks like it's not taken out of context but it was one time when they got excited
• Ok, there's a history of this kind of rhetoric
• Well, no one really believes that stuff
• Ok, this really is a popular opinion
• I just want lower taxes

It's crazy.

"Oh, your drunk uncle Mike who has three arson convictions, thinks you turned the family against him, and is in your attached garage with gas and a lighter threatening to burn it down? Don't worry about him, he's harmless!"

"No, this was totally illegal but I think I should get away with it, anyway."

Bold strategy.

Unpopular opinion here but if you are using cannabis regularly it isn't supposed to get you high. Yes you might need lifted for a bit but it's really not an extreme "I'm high" experience. If you are using it medicinally, that's what you want. The ability to use it and get on with you day (or go to sleep, I'm my case).

Chasing a high is going to lead to disappointment. You'll develop a tolerance and keep using more and this will cause the negative effects people worry about instead of making your life better.

If you had one beer every night with dinner, the first beer you've ever had in your life would be magical, the edges of the world round off, your friends are funnier, you spouse is extra alluring. But have one beer with dinner every night for a week or two and it's just a beer. You have a mild, mild buzz.

Cannabis is just like that. I mean it's better than beer because it helps with real issues like inflammation, possibly anxiety, etc.

Edit: forgot to say if you want to get high, just use it once a week or so. If you need to use to daily, do so, but when you want to get high have more, but occasionally. You can also stick with a less potent strain day to day or mix in CBD flower with it .

If he wins the nomination, they will explain that they were mistaken.
