I’d read that. Too symbolic for a movie but it would work well as a book, maybe throw in some Greek gods that each represents, and all of their inherent drama

There are actual checks and balance to ensure you’re a citizen and you vote at most once

Trump has visibly diminished in the last 4 years, as has his influence. Now he seems like the tail the dog is wagging but before he called himself the dog. I just don’t see him lasting that long

If Biden wins, then in 2028 he won’t be able to run again, and Trump won’t physically be able to. I’m reasonably confident there will be two “new” choices.

I’m very happy DeSantis seems to have crashed and burned, Christie had his last hurrah, and no one took Ramiswami seriously, but even Sanders’ age is a passing of the torch.

So, will you support Harris, Newsom, or AOC to go up against Abbot?

For sure another Big Question ^TM is whether intellectual property protections have gone beyond any reasonable justification, and obstruct innovation rather than the stated goal of stimulating it. Patents aren’t as bad as Copyright, but yeah.

Ah yes, rtfm. My bad for relying on the summary.

That’s amazing. The guy is 90 now and went to space!

They do seem to have backed off a bit on recent years, at least with companies I’ve worked for. It’s been quite a few years.

The last time, they tried to start drug testing for current employees. I didn’t bother going and they didn’t bother me about it

It seems like news also used to cover issues that were important, that people should care more about, even if they don’t.

Then we had Jon Stewart to cover (in the context of comedy) important news that News didn’t bother with

Now we have nothing

Am I misreading this somehow?

That’s what I was going to say: German shepherd, Staffy, and maybe something else

The more primary votes for Sanders and for progressive candidates, the more likely are their ideas to make it onto the party platform, and the more likely they are to be appointed to positions of influence. It’s not all or nothing, but many bits and pieces where it all counts

They’ll ban toilet paper and cleaning up after you go. Touching your ass is so gay

enormous amounts on carbon capture projects that have historically produced lackluster results. It throws even more good money after bad on “clean hydrogen”, an absolute sinkhole of R&D

And yet both are desperately needed

• we’re already zooming past our climate goals for carbon emission, and rapidly approaching all the dangers that entails. While not putting fossilized carbon in the atmosphere to begin with is far better, it’s naive to think that will be enough. If there’s a practical way to recover some of that atmospheric carbon, we need to find it and scale up fast
• while we’ve found better technologies than hydrogen for personal transportation and power generation, there are still too many places we still need energy, where wires can’t go, batteries aren’t sufficient. Think of industrial uses like metal refining or concrete manufacturing, flying, shipping, construction, long distance trains, etc, that we don’t yet have a good solution for. Yes, even for storage: current storage technology is fantastic, but it’s not clear that it can scale. We do also need a hydrogen economy

I wish. There is no reason a country’s leadership should be exciting or dramatic. Get on with doing your job

From the facts in the article, I completely agree

…. With the 25 year sentence. They’re not giving any justification for pardoning and even less for letting him carry guns again

Sorry, but this sounds hilarious

But now we know those big rocks can float. I imagine they threw the rocks in the water, attached an outboard and just putt-putted along until they got to the pyramid.

Of course he’s lonely. That was before “hot young singles in your area want to meet you”

So …. In a decade we’ll get ApplePay?
