I’m not sure it’s stealing that’s a primary concern. It’s probably more that single ply doesn’t clog very often, even when using a ton of paper. It’s easier to flush, especially in a commercial type environment with high pressure flushing toilets. Which means less need for EVS to clean up issues, either intentional or not.

Yup. Many Nazi scientists only cared about the research. A lot of medical and physics breakthroughs last century directly resulted from those experiments.

Given the symptoms reported… There was no reason to expect anything out of the ordinary.

“They were not thinking that these symptoms were compatible with hantavirus. Why? Because what she was telling [them] was [that she had] an episode of coughing some days ago that had disappeared, and what she was having at that moment was kind of like stress or anxiety or nervousness. So it was not catalogued [as hantavirus],” Padilla said.

Right now while people are pissed at Republicans, the most progressive candidates need to be running everywhere. Especially places that Dems usually avoid.

Get the protest votes, take Congress back and fix some of the root causes.

Many of the bullshit issues we are dealing with not stem from simple things Congress has passed by regular majority votes over the last 100 years. They don’t require Constitutional Amendments or anything complicated, just a Congress doing it’s job.

Repeal the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929 that artificially caps the House at 435. Passed in large part just because they just didn’t want to expand the Capitol Building. Remove the defacto second Senate that created. Give us those additional House seats to actually be represented and make gerrymandering much less effective at the Federal level. If we used the average district size at the time that was passed, we would have roughly 1500 representatives. There would be no 1 or 2 seat majorities to dramatically flip Congressional priorities every couple years, stabilizing Congress and requiring more compromises.

Expand the Supreme Court to the 12 Justices it should be, matching the 12 Federal Circuits as it was originally designed.

Move the US Marshal Service under the Judicial branch to execute Judicial decisions. This allows the courts an enforcement mechanism if the Executive doesn’t want to comply, and the Legislative is complicit and unwilling to impeach and remove.

These alone would get us extremely far with fixing the bullshit they’ve done in the last 200 years to destroy true Democracy in this country.

Then once stabilized, the actual deep issues can start to be addressed.

Cash’s version has the same emotion but it’s coming from a completely different place.

Hey, those interviews are responsible for some of the best memes in history.

We never would have had things like I like turtles, Hide your kids, hide your wife, and wouldn’t you like to know weather boy.

100% chance he took this as an opportunity to actually get the money Trump hasn’t paid him previously. And I can’t really fault him much for that honestly.

Someone was going to get paid for this stupid shit, might as well be someone who’s been fucked over in the past to try and make them whole.

That would require the DOJ to not be political, and they very definitely are nowhere near that point anymore.

The Judicial needs their own enforcement arm. Once we’re through this (one way or another) the US Marshall’s Service should be moved under the Judicial Branch to enforce Judicial Decisions instead of relying on the Executive Branch.

Do you have anything actually meaningful to bring to the discussion other than your self-righteousness?

I did in the first part of my comment. I didn’t provide any links, because you didn’t. If that’s what you want though, fine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent

The seven-continent model is taught in most English-speaking countries, including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and also in Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Suriname, parts of Europe and Africa.

So together that represents 4.1 billion of the 8.3 billion people on the planet

The six-continent combined-Eurasia model is mostly used in Russia and some parts of Eastern Europe.

If we add just Russia to that list, even ignoring the rest of Eastern Europe, we come to 4.2 billion, or over half of the global population now.

The six-continent combined-America model is taught in Greece and many Romance-speaking countries—including Latin America.

I’m assuming you’re in Latin America, and that’s why you’re taking this personally. My commentary was simply about you being pedantic about something that doesn’t really matter. The tone of your post seemed to imply that your opinion here was the only correct one… something that clearly isn’t accurate.

I didn’t realize that half the world combined the Americas, much like it seems you didn’t know that as well given your original post.

Either way, this discussion is off topic from the original post about Healthcare in the US and ultimately pointless here. I can only assume you came here looking for an argument given the tone of your original post and responses so far, so you can have fun arguing with yourself over pointless delineations that serve no purpose. Have a good day.

The FBI and it’s ilk is pretty strict with explosives, try to get some to excavate and see what happens?

…the government actively keeps us from having access to explosives as much as they can.

Yeah of course… that’s why there’s varying levels of ATF approvals and FFL (Federal Firearms Licensing) levels. You can’t buy most explosive materials… but Hollywood pyrotechnicians can buy a lot more than a random person.

hard doubt.

You can choose to look it up and do research about it or not, that’s up to you.

There are numerous interviews and examples with pyrotechnicians on Youtube.

For a couple examples…

Tom Scott has a video about Hollywood fireballs from 2021 meant for an average audience for instance.

And the University of Nebraska–Lincoln has a video with a talk by Professor Brad D. Elder from Doane College, about the difference between Hollywood’s sensationalizing and real fire and explosions.

Hollywood does what they do both because it looks better on film, and it is safer than just plain explosives.

(the government doesn’t allow them to play with real explosives.)

That’s not the reason. You can 100% get approvals for real explosives use. It’s simpler than that.

Explosives just don’t look as cool as fireballs on film. Fireballs look cool as shit to the average person, a pressure wave doesn’t. So they make big fireballs because that’s what people respond to.

I would like to, politely, remind that America is actually 2 continents.

Why you gotta insist on being annoyingly pedantic for no reason? You know when people say “America” when the discussion context is a country, that they are referring to the USA. And then being pedantic about it and wrong? Oh boy.

I think is unfair to say playing one of the best popular game series that has been popular for 20 years is the players fault.

Popular, yes. Best, is extremely debatable.

After 2010, the games dropped off a cliff. Infinity Ward were the ones that brought the series back from death in the first place. Treyarch were always the second tier COD studio, and it showed after half the IW team left to form Respawn Entertainment.

Although I guess we should sort of be happy that happened since we got Titanfall out of it. That would never have happened otherwise.

They usually pull those samples just before the truck leaves the plant. That doesn’t stop someone on site adding some sugar as it’s leaving the truck. Construction has one of the biggest day labor usage rates.

Do you think they’ll ever realize that there are so many poor people that can’t afford anything anymore because those same companies have spent 60+ years ensuring wages stay exactly where they were while prices increased?

I doubt it. It’s clear that to be a CEO you need to have zero problem solving skills, just social connections and rich parents (usually). It’s the rest of the management team below the C-Suite that has does the thinking. Then middle manglement fucks up implementing it to try and get noticed for a promotion from their dead-end position because they aren’t a part of the rich club already.

Your first problem was still playing Call of Duty in this day and age. After Activision fucked over paying Infinity Ward developers back in 2010, the writing was on the wall. The franchise should have been abandoned be fans and it’s only been downhill every release since further proving that.

A reminder that there are alternatives to reCAPTCHA. It is not the only solution, or even likely the best solution.

And if people are not even able to attempt to get to your site, you’re going to look for an alternative, several of which are essentially drop-in replacements.

1. They want it regardless of what its called or labeled.
2. They’ve been lied to about what fascism is for decades by right wing propaganda. They’ve called Democrats both Socialist, Fascist, Marxist, and Communist in the same sentence.
3. The government and influencers have tried to rebrand things like antifa as “anti-first amendment” instead of anti-fascism. Further muddying the waters with even more ridiculousness that makes it harder to educate through.

Oh the things I could rant on about Android Automotive, and about legacy automakers integrating “smart” things poorly.

Part of this is another well deserved rant against GM for not putting Android Auto on their cars. That’s something that other manufacturers do and I suppose in that case it actually would work well. I don’t know.

If you want to be even more unreasonably angered about this… I currently drive a Honda Prologue, which uses GM’s Ultima EV platform. The Play Store even shows the car “device” as a “GM Aegean”. It supports Android Auto. Even puts it in the little app window as if the system wasn’t already running Android Automotive. Regular Android Auto just like on any other vehicle… inside Android Automotive. They could do it, they chose not to.
