They still have to deliver the partial abortion that is Kraven first.

Modular or not, when there’s 10-12’ of storm surge and/or river flooding, it doesn’t matter. Houses built today generally handle cat 3 and even cat 4 storm winds without much problem. It’s the flooding that’s the killer.

If your predecessor beat the guy by using platform A, it stands to reason that a pretty safe campaign strategy is to not deviate from platform A very much.

They believe that we’re on the precipice of creating agi. Agi, if invented, would be like inventing the nuclear bomb. Whoever does it first gets a massive leg up on the competition. Except in this case instead of destroying a rival with a bomb you just ask your Agi, “what’s the best way to become the most profitable company in history” and it will tell you and it will be right.

I don’t like Kevin Costner.

The richest people in the world aren’t on the richest people in the world list because they own entire countries. Putin is probably the richest single person in the world. Kim Jong Un is up there too.

If you can have literally anything you want within your own borders that’s a lot more than having shares in some company that could lose value overnight.

The director of marketing at my company just got out of a meeting with reddit and is super hyped at funneling all our Facebook and Twitter dollars into reddit instead. I didn’t have the heart to tell him he’s five years too late.

I would highly highly doubt it. He’s just the “science man” of memes so he’s used as a stand in for all scientists, or at least science communicators.

American ninja warrior has had more and more women making it farther and farther in the competition every year. There are still handicaps in place to make sure at least some women make it to the finals but after that there are no handicaps. At this point, even if they removed all the handicaps there would still be women that reach the finals, just not as many. It’s been very interesting to watch.

The announcers still try to hype up the women’s achievements but at this point most of the big barriers have been broken. They’ve had to resort to stuff like, “if she gets a buzzer here she’ll be only the second mom to get a buzzer in qualifying!”. It’s kind of silly at this point.

The US has so much red on its ledger it will never be balanced. And there are plenty of apologists for atrocities in our history. They’re just as bad as the Chinese or Russian (or pick whatever country you want because they’re all guilty to some extent) when they do it.

Denying historical events and refusing to come to terms with their causes and repercussions is not a left or right problem.

You can be as communist as you want but pretending that events with photographic evidence didn’t actually happen put you in the same category as moon landing deniers in my book.

We’ve finally built The Eternal Torment Machine from the classic work of sci-fi “For the Love of God Never Build an Eternal Torment Machine”.

Why? Because we thought it would increase the quarterly earnings and my options are about to vest.

Also the fact that one bad year in your tiny part of the world means you and everyone you know die slow agonizing deaths. Fun!

The older I get, the more becoming a robot tiger seems like as good a retirement plan as I’m gonna get.

The question isn’t whether Marijuana is habit forming. Obviously for some percentage it is. The question is whether Marijuana use in and of itself encourages or preface additional drug use. My position is that it does not and by legalizing Marijuana we would find that it is the interaction with black market drug dealers which correlates instead.

Marijuana is not a gateway drug.

Having to deal with a drug dealer that wants to also sell you actually addictive drugs is the gateway.

Legalize pot, sell it at the grocery store, and you will watch the number of addicts in general fall precipitously. I guarantee it.

The question is, at that price can you really afford not to?

I honestly don’t know why other bands are bothering to continue making music when Rust In Peace exists. It’s embarrassing.

I find the show to be just OK. I’m on episode 7 right now. I actually much prefer the flashbacks VS the present day story. I’d like a whole season just about vault tec building the vaults, manipulating world events, etc…

I also started enjoying the show a lot more when I resigned myself to the fact that maximus is just a low int, high lck build so that his actions make more sense.

Sounds like the unemployment insurance website here in Florida. I had to use it during covid and it was one of the singularly worst experiences of my life.
