No, that's just your bullshit strawman argument.
The claim was that "the media" (as in, most of it in general) has Republican owners, not comicsands.com specifically.
It's a fucking stupid way of phrasing it. I thought the headline was talking about class size!
*Israel-Palestine war. Israel is attacking way more than just Hamas.
Fuck off with the fatalist trolling.
It's also worth noting that "labor shortage" is always a lie. There is no such thing; there is only greedy CEOs' refusal to pay free market wages.
Bullshit, that's a well-known fact at this point. You're sealioning.
Technically, the walls of the manholes, in turn, support the weight of the cover and whatever load is on top of it. The entire manhole is a weight-bearing structure.
You say that and your arguments make sense, but nevertheless somebody is trying to mess with the Internet Archive.

How
confederatesmodern confederate apologists think the civil war started
FTFY.
The confederates themselves knew damn well that it was about slavery, and wrote as much into their declarations of secession.

2000 was a referendum on how important the climate was to the average American. I’m sad to say that the fossils won that one. To me this was one of the most important races of our lifetimes.
2000 was the first Republican coup, and a successful one.
There's a (possibly offensive these days, sorry) saying that goes "you can't rape the willing." Similarly, you can't blackmail a fanboi. Trump is giving Putin what he wants willingly, enthusiastically, and without being coerced.
Frankly, talking about "kompromat" or Trump being blackmailed is unreasonably generous to Trump. The idea that he's being "forced" to betray America gives him too much credit, when the reality is that he's fucking gleeful about doing anything that might help sempai Vladdie notice him!
I consider claims like this guy's to be a form of limited hangout and therefore backhanded pro-Trump propaganda.
Good, because "fight for $15" has been going on so long that the real number to regain parity with what minimum wage used to be is a lot higher than that by now.

Even though the story involves drum memory instead, your mention of delay-lines reminds me of The Story of Mel, a Real Programmer. Y'all should read the whole thing (it's not long), but here's a quick excerpt:
Mel's job was to re-write
the blackjack program for the RPC-4000.
(Port? What does that mean?)
The new computer had a one-plus-one
addressing scheme,
in which each machine instruction,
in addition to the operation code
and the address of the needed operand,
had a second address that indicated where, on the revolving drum,
the next instruction was located.
In modern parlance,
every single instruction was followed by a GO TO!
Put *that* in Pascal's pipe and smoke it.
Mel loved the RPC-4000
because he could optimize his code:
that is, locate instructions on the drum
so that just as one finished its job,
the next would be just arriving at the "read head"
and available for immediate execution.
There was a program to do that job,
an "optimizing assembler",
but Mel refused to use it.
