Useful idiot
  • I’m not sure of the term for this, but I’ll call it “billionaire blindness”. Not blindness to billionaires but a blindness that affects billionaires. And it works like this: because they overestimate their own abilities – their ego cannot handle the large part that luck played in their success – they correspondingly underestimate the abilities of their lackeys.

    In this particular context, they vastly underestimate their political pawns. They fail to realize that once Trump and Taylor-Green and cohorts gain dictatorial powers, then those former lackeys will become the masters. To quote Jello Biafra, “In the real fourth reich you’ll be the first to go.” I don’t know what we’ll call it tho. “Night of Long Knives” is too poetic.

  • A cool guide to vehicles with the most DUIs
  • The guy that said DUI and DWI are the same is wrong.

    First, states have different blood alcohol levels that qualify as intoxicated.

    Second, assume you are driving funny on a Friday night and a cop pulls you over. They will test your blood alcohol level using breathalyzer. If it shows you have been drinking but your blood alcohol levels is below the legal intoxication level, then that is a DUI, and it is a lesser offense.

    Last I heard, some states like Texas don’t even have such a thing as DUI. It used be and still might be, that if you are not intoxicated then the cops will force you to get a ride home but there is no criminal charge.

    DWI means you were caught driving with a blood alcohol level that is above the legal intoxication limit. In most states, the legal intoxication level is so high that if you actually go over it then you are certainly very obviously drunk. This is a much more serious charge.

  • What is the best e-book, not because of the content, but because of the reader voice?
  • Wow. Gee whiz. My suggestions can’t compete with John Malkovich or Nigel Planer, but…

    Some (maybe most?) Star Wars novels are packed with sound effects and electronic voice distortion effects. I’ve listened to Labyrinth of Evil, Darth Plagueis, and Path of Destruction.

    Also, I recall being impressed listening to the Silmarillion and the narrator’s pronunciation. Sure, it was a professional production so they had to get it right, but still impressive to hear.

  • Junior dev VS FAANMG dev
  • I’m not debating. It is not a matter of opinion. I’m doing you the courtesy of informing you how the entire rest of the world uses the term.

    If action A looks for thing X, and it finds thing X, then the test is positive. If action A fails to find thing X, then the test is negative.

    If action A claims to find thing X, but later confirmation determines that thing X is not really there, then this situation is called “false positive”.

    If action A claims fails to find thing X, but later confirmation determines that thing X is actually there, then this situation is called “false negative”.

    That thing X may subjectively be considered an unwanted outcome has **nothing ** to do with the terms used.

  • Trump is “absolutely” immune for “official acts” on Jan 6th, SCOTUS rules
  • When a group of American freedom fighters go to take over a U.S.A. military base and hesitant soldiers aren’t sure if they should follow a traitorous president or their oath to the Constitution, the American freedom fighters being well-armed will make the difference.

  • Force yourself to exercise for 30 minutes – no matter how wimpily you do the exercises – 3 hours before you want to sleep. Shower afterwards even if you just stand under running water.

  • Who is a character you feel is overhated and despised too much ?
  • In the 90s there was this purple dinosaur from a children’s TV show that everyone seemed to hate. I don’t know anything about him or why we were supposed to hate him. To know anything about him you would have to have watched a show for 3 year olds, so if you did that then you deserve to be annoyed by it. Right?
