Had a print of this in my house growing up. It looks like my dad.

Proud to say that in Colorado, ranked choice voting is on the ballot this year! It’s even supported by the big political names here, including the governor.

Which is why I am happy to be a metallurgical engineer who can blacksmith…

Silly, now you’ve broken the law in Florida because you’ve talked about climate change. That and signing petitions will get you a visit from the police! Totally normal state governmental functions.

It’s real! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widdershins

Widdershins. It means counter to the sun’s direction , and was seen as inauspicious. Counter-clockwise, before clocks.

Proud to be a supporter of CPR…

I think that was in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, iirc

Did you even read Sotomayor’ dissent? I did.

You are not considering the part where we can’t use relevant testimony or documents to prove that what the President does is illegal in the first place. The President can just say whatever illegal things they did were official acts, and all the evidence that might prove otherwise is off-limits. It relies on other people in the administration to not follow the illegal order, but of course that is a weak protection and the President can fire them or do something illegal to them without consequence too.

After you’ve had the Ultimate Love Affair that has broken you, leaves you certain love has been poisoned in your system, then, and only then, can you be saved and uplifted by the Post-Ultimate Love Affair. - Harlan Ellison http://www.baen.com/Chapters/ERBAEN0072/ERBAEN0072.htm

Deleted my 8 year old account and posts just last week. Feels great man.

Well to be fair to the actual journalists, a lot of those articles are published by random people with an agenda that are labeled “Contributor” as opposed to staff.

Next week on Star Trek…

Shrug maybe they could. They have yet to prove it in the real world in the US, as you mentioned.

I like that my ISP has no profit motive and is driven solely by customer/taxpayer satisfaction.

I wouldn’t like it if it became a political football, but so far so good. I think its safe for now because it is the same network used by the fire and police departments. Comcast really tried to kill it off.

I love my Model O Glorious mouse. Adjustable dpi super dependable.

I love it! It kind of sells the “we’re in the middle of a war and have to slap a bunch of stuff together just to field some more ships for defense” vibe. Even if really it was just a kit bashed computer model.

We taxpayers built a municipal fiber to house broadband in Longmont Colorado. Stable service, one of the fastest in the nation and inexpensive.

I love it when a telecom asks me to"upgrade" to their service. It messes up their script when I ask them if they can beat 1 gig up and down for $45.

This is the way competition should work. Some things private companies do better, other things the government can do better. Let them hash it out in the market without loading the dice.
