“China is the worst polluter on the planet and they need to do better”

“NO NOT LIKE THAT!”

Because unemployment isn’t really that low. When we talk about “people here now who could use those jobs”, we’re usually talking about people in dead end jobs that could use a career job.

So great, pull them into our elder care system, give them a career level up…now their old jobs are still unfilled. And while we’re super shitty as a country towards entry level service workers, we also as a country really want those jobs to be filled. So we’d need to fill that gap in the employment pool somehow.

It’s the “all your eggs in one basket” problem.

Just in case you misread the title (because I did at first), Namibia is explicitly not looking into other people’s pants now.

Why did it take until 2024? Humans being humans, I guess. Gotta go after some “other”.

Progressive tax brackets. This hypothetical tax is only on money earned over 10M/1M.

“In a gold rush, you want to be the guy selling the shovels”

Nvidia is the shovel-seller right now. A couple of AI companies will probably get huge, 99% will fail. But Nvidia is getting paid by them all.

Man, I knew fingerprint encryption was bad but that is nuts.

$9,000? Fucking seriously?

Please be the story of the congressfolk that legalized raw milk, celebrated by drinking raw milk, and all got sick as a result…

Fuck yeah.

Honestly don’t even remember, but it was in my peak “know enough to be dangerous” days in college. I almost certainly didn’t have to go that nuclear to fix it, but that’s what I did.

Take 2 of Arch, after that wipe was completed, went pretty well. It revived an old piece of shit laptop for another few years before its motherboard gave out.

As far as in aware, not being a NY company isn’t the issue, it’s the fact that they have no evidence they can actually pay the full amount in the event that Trump doesn’t follow through with his obligations for the bond.

My first attempt at running Arch, I managed to fuck it up so badly that I had to write a script to write zeros to every bit of my HDD. Fun times.

My favorite fortress fail was from a were-iguana. A visitor turned into a giant iguana in the middle of the dining hall and caused a minor ruckus before my militia dispatched it. 2/10 invasion, really not that special.

Then next full moon there were 7 of them, including my militia commander. Oops. Pay attention to combat logs when you fight a were-creature! Quarantine the bitten!

Note that these broods are mostly not in the same region, so most places will see a fairly normal amount of cicadas this year.

Eastern Illinois gets both broods, it’s gonna be WILD there.

They have access to US markets and are defended by the US military, without some of the requirements of being a full state.

It seems to be that it’d be better for PR to join as a full state, but thus far they’ve not gotten the votes together to do it.

Nope. They get a non-voting representative in congress who can speak on issues but has no ability to directly impact legislation.

This brings the total electoral votes joining the compact to 209. Michigan will join soon, bringing it to 225.

270 electoral votes needed for the change to take effect. We’re getting there.

It’s not about the crops, farmers work by the sun, not by the clock.

It was able conserving candles and oil, for lighting rooms.

I don’t know that the switcheroo is the likely bad outcome, but more like “still in the process of unlearning the cult life, and still finding some ugly vestiges”

You can’t extract minerals from where they don’t exist. No law will change that.
