The polling places in some rural municipalities are literally Masonic lodges where they make you announce out loud to all in attendance which primary you want to vote in.

Is it clear? Seems profitable to own that clay - the pipeline infrastructure connects Asian oil with European markets, and whoever controls it can charge rent and leverage favors. For example, back in the day when Russia used to own it, they tried using it to extort the EU, begging for ridiculous concessions and threatening to shut down the pipeline if their silly demands aren't met.

in Russia, they call them "democracies"

Too expensive. Just get someone undocumented to do it for pennies, then threaten to deport them if they ask for a raise.

This is the only Mozilla mistake I'm aware of:

Yeah, creating a venue for sex work is the only plausible use case.

reminder: single payer healthcare is cheaper than what we've got now

we could buy more guns if we had Medicare For All

They would do the same everywhere if they could get away with it. For example, the right wing corporatists of USA are perpetually in pursuit of the deregulation that lets this kind of medical malpractice thrive, and they constantly whine, bitch, and moan when the "deep state" won't let them.

Reminds me of Fallout - London.

Thamesfolk be like:

surely producing a lower volume of lower quality products will improve the bottom line, right?

some of their higher end mice let you call specific functions of popular productivity software, like using the scroll wheel to change the brush size in Photoshop for example

I like action games, including FPS, with RPG elements.

Borderlands and Diablo - I like that you can just jump in and start blasting without really having to read anything about the setting or characters

Fallout and Cyberpunk 2077 - slower paced and less immediately fun than the previous two, but the action does keep the story interesting

Pure RPGs can be fun as an engineering project - twisting the game's systems to create unbalanced character builds.

His position on healthcare seems to be Medicare for All Who Want It, without forcing people to drop their private health insurance if they prefer to go that route.

Not too long ago, a lot of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software ran on MS SQL Server. Businesses made significant investments in software and training, and some of them don't have the technical, financial, or logistical resources to adapt - momentum keeps them using Windows Server.

For example, small businesses that are physically located in rural areas can't use cloud based services because rural internet is too slow and unreliable. Its not quite the case that there's no amount of money you can pay for a good internet connection in rural America, but last time I looked into it, Verizon wanted to charge me $20,000 per mile to run a fiber optic cable from the nearest town to my client's farm.
