Ok so can we start with a really rough day of policing election fraud, inciting insurrection, business fraud, not paying suppliers, sexual assault, stealing classified government documents, and shitting your pants in public. Then maybe the word will get out and we won't have to go further.

... Ok maybe not the last one. That's just unfair.

"is intended to help build skills"

Dell: "We've got to put a positive spin on this because everyone hates it and it doesn't actually benefit anyone, but our employees just can't be trusted. We know in our heart that working from home is damaging productivity, we just can't prove it. Sure we are beating our earnings predictions but that is with or lazy employees working from home. Just imagine what we could have made if we were able to crack the whip over them 8 hours a day."

Maybe if they weren't destabilising the world, their citizens might feel happier about bringing children into it.

I know what the point was, but Biden is included as if he is part of some political dynasty. He was VP. A very normal situation, 19 out of 49 have run for president. It's like being promoted through the ranks until you get to the top. Isn't that kinda normal in most careers?

So why is it "insanely improbable" for Biden, someone who qualified for the job over decades, to be "chosen" as opposed to anyone else.

We aren't talking here about how much cash it requires to become president which raises the bar above most people's head.we are taking about political dynasties.

So I say again, including Biden as if it is some statistical anomaly or stranglehold on politics is disingenuous, especially if you exclude Harris.

Her situation of running for president after serving as vice president is EXACTLY the same as Biden unless you want to split hairs and say he served 2 terms and her only 1. So if you want to say Biden was given a silver spoon, so was she.

Biden is not a dynasty. But if you insist he is, so is Harris, and that makes the original premise flawed.

I don't think it's really fair to include "Biden" alongside "Bush" and "Clinton" and NOT include "Harris", just to make a point. The point is the Bush and Clinton represent two people each, a dynasty as it were. Biden is just one person. You might as well add then Harris since she has served as VP just like Biden, or Trump but I get the feeling this is intended to somehow make the statement that Harris represents a new breed of politics, a break from the old. That may or may not be true, but it doesn't hinge on this meaningless metric.

"since 1981 there has never been an election without a Bush, Clinton, Biden, Trump or Harris."

The problem with conservatism though is that their voters will think this is a good thing. Taxes are bad full stop, so these companies are clever by lowering their tax bill. They don't see that the salaries are obscene. Then they complain about public services and infrastructure being bad.

I love to see free speech absolutism being so unshakable.

He did say "most". But even if you live in an apartment you may not know it's possible to charge at a home, just not necessarily your home. So it's still valid even if apartment dwellers don't benefit. I think it is true that "most" people think you have to find a charger and then sit there for an hour everytime you need to charge when in fact you rarely need to do a full charge from 0, and if you have a home charger, rarely need to find a charger. Charging stations are only needed when you are travelling long distance and not many people are doing that routinely. If you are then buy an ICE or plan longer journeys.

I think the biggest benefits though are much cheaper driving and instant, consistent power: no turbo lag, no gear changes, much quieter inside. I do occasionally have range anxiety, but then I've almost run out of fuel in an ICE before due to bad planning and closed service stations, so it is what you make of it.

There isn't a good solution right now for apartments, but in Norway they had the idea to make street lights dual purpose with charging points inside. I think that could make life easier for everyone. They wouldn't be fast chargers, but it would replicate the home charger capability for those who can't have them. Infrastructure needs to catch up but I don't miss queuing for fuel.

How about a compromise . An execution style murder.

I'd buy that for a dollar

Why stop at the supreme Court. Maybe all judges should have this "protection".

Oh wait but then Donnie would be in jail.

Just be honest Don. You want to jail anyone who disagrees with you.

Surely the day is approaching where enough Americans have been personally affected by gun violence that there are more that have than haven't. I often wondered if the reason it persists is because it is something that happens to other people so there is no feeling of urgency to put it at the center of politics. But it happens every fucking month??? ...wait, I just checked and I'm being too generous with "month". They happen almost every day. We only seem to hear about them once or twice a month outside America. You guys have them more regularly than sports games.

Better hope you don't have a small dick, or you'll tick all the terrorist profile markers and be in jail before you know it.

Ah didn't realise you deleted it. It was in my inbox in sync and I replied directly there.

Reading lips is a visual representation of a sound. A teacher teaching you to read lips is only the relationship between two visual representations. Written word and moving lips. I think my point stands.

I usually try to avoid partisan thinking, but I'm glad to see Intel faltering. AMD began to out perform Intel in the early 2000s AND were cheaper and Intel responded, not by improving their product, but by using their monopoly to sabotage performance on competitor CPUs via special compiler instructions. For some time this gave Intel the appearance of being the better choice for performance and AMD market share suffered. Luckily for all of us, AMD survived this preventing Intel from having an uncontested monopoly . Intel survives on a reputation they don't deserve it live up to.

How could you possibly know what a visual representation of a sound sounds like if you've never had the relationship between the two pointed out to you??

You think the only reason people could find destructive, violent behaviour to be unusual or difficult to understand is because they have no passion in their own lives?

I'm just a little sad that there are people in the world who have grown up in such violent, loveless homes that they can't conceive of finding violent behaviour over a sports game disgusting.

I wonder how many of wives and partners who get the shit kicked out of them when their passionate "alpha" male's favourite team loses would agree with you. Oh it's OK, he had just lived such a full, passionate life that he sometimes loses his self control for a moment.

We've I've decided that we’re you are going to return to being in the office the way we you were before the onset of Covid", he said, adding that it would help staff be "better set up to invent, collaborate, and be connected enough to each other monitored because I don't trust them".
