- RIP Rob Reiner. The Princess Bride is one of my all-time favorite movies. I have a theory (born out by experience) that most American-born software engineers can quote at least one line from TBL. I often use it as an opener with new hires.
Death can not stop true love. It can only delay it for a while.
- There is no evidence that the Biden admin was purposefully changing the numbers. As you said they are constantly revised. Powell is (apparently) seeing evidence that the numbers are being changed by the current admin, not just revised
- I'd prefer developers make up names for their project to make it easier to search, or at least use a very uncommon word. Gradle is a good example.
- Back in May Rubio was going after foreign nationals that were "censoring" Americans.
- There IS something wrong with doctors treating people differently due to race, country, religion, gender, etc.
- Are you saying that if you were a doctor you'd care less about patients from another country?
- I didn't know her but reading the eulogies it was obvious she was a kind person who touched so many people. I hope some day my eulogies will be similar (if lower in scope).
- This would explain why you don't like Italian pasta.
- > The Paradox of Tolerance
This phrase needs to be used (and understood) more often. People who act in bad faith use this to their advantage and make our society worse. Look at the response to the Kirk murder: people were fired for daring to say something negative after his death.
- Steve Vladeck seems to be a prominent expert on SCOTUS and the shadow docket. He's a critic of how often it's used. I couldn't find anything that directly answers your questions but you can check out his blog.
- My understanding is that Snap is already funded. That's why the lower court ruled that it must be paid.
- Here's one possible (probable?) explanation for Brown's reasoning. Tl;Dr is she's trying to put pressure on the 6 gop judges to respond quickly.
- > But it’s the fact that he opposes the sneering, snotty
Calling people "Crooked Hillary", "Sleepy Joe", and Gavin "Newscum" isn't sneering and snotty?
- I think McConnell largely likes where we are politically. I'm sure he'd prefer that Trump be less deranged but by not voting to convict he left the door open for the GOP to control the president, congress, and SCOTUS.
- Why should that be a bigger scandal than the Republicans going along with everything Trump is doing?
- The vaccine was developed under Warp Speed, a Trump program (one of the very few things I liked from Trump). It was first made available while Trump was still president. I have some empathy for people who think it was oversold but that wasn't solely a Democrat problem.
- Unfortunately I agree. I've been telling people to put no hope into the Epstein files hurting Trump. Everybody knows he's in it or pretending he's not (like Musk). Trumpers will just call it fake news and support him even more.
What absolutely galls me is people like Mike Johnson claiming to be Christian and then covering up for this pedophile.
- I'm not conflicted at all. No matter how bad a problem is the government can't just kill people with no due process. That's murder.
- The article is from 2019 and I think it originally had photos.
I don't know what the solution would be. I tend to favor letting the market figure it out but dunno if that can happen here.
