  • Is this about rent vs buy or freestanding house with yard vs unit in a high rise? Because you could rent a house and buy a condo but I know outside the us bought hirise things are often called apartments.

  • I can't help you seeing the logic. Its not a black and white thing so it is hard to see or understand. Its something where you have to in some way have experience in similar things. Clubs or orgs for example. Its funny because you see him pressing a single head to do what he wants for what would be looked at as political gains. ie going after his enemies (this would get compared to what trump did with zelinski back when he wanted the hit job news article fabricated by ukranian press). You are comparing that to putting pressure across the agencies to do something that is relatively a-political (as much as things can be in an age when vaccines are political).

  • I for one thought the paddles were clever. Im not sure if I can say they were more effective. If they could get themselves all thrown out without making to much of a ruckus. In other words make it were they are thrown out and most people would view it as unfairly. That would do a good job of spotlighting the totalitarian ways. Thing is it has a good chance of failure whereas the paddles will definitely work but to less effect. Believe it or not these are actually the things they weigh when doing things. If I was a male congressman though I would have worn pink somewhere although I may be unaware of some dresscode preventing them since women tend to get more leeway with things like that in formal precedings.

  • He should not have. It is best for the agencies to make that call. heck its best for places to make that call at the lowest level and then be responsible for their output. Like teams. Trump is not just threatening though. He is flat out tearing it apart and putting in political apointees. Like the pressroom stuff it is things that were fixed in the past to avoid abuses of power. At some point someone says biden saying he has no power over agencies. Thats was just a stupid thing to say. Biden and all presidents run the agencies and have significant power over them. But the civil service has rights as well. They can replace people, especially agency heads, but are expected not to in a haphazard way in order to not destabilize the country. If every agency head had pushed back at biden he would have backed down because replacing every head would be unacceptable. But if only one or even a few had resisted they might have been replaced because that would have been acceptable. You are comparing the scaple with the axe and its just not the same.

  • It sounds to me like you were saying biden should use trumps way of doing things like clearing house or whatnot. I really don't get your complaint then because biden did a lot within the system. It takes congress to repeal the patriot act or citizen united or fisa. Now that ball was dropped when someone says biden or the democrats dropped the ball im like bullshit but if someone actually talks about the specific things that have fucked us like those laws then, yeah, that means something. Are most democrats not working to fix those. yes. are some working to fix those. yes. are any republicans working to fi those. sorta. like one or two although I think they might have been libertarians.

  • interesting. its not just about the moon:

    "LuGRE’s groundbreaking success opens the door for future NASA Artemis missions and other space explorations to use GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) signals. This means they can accurately figure out their position, speed, and time without human help. It’s a huge leap forward for navigation systems on the Moon and Mars!"

    this should be pretty huge. think about the various failed landings and such you have seen in the news.:

    "Traditionally, NASA engineers use a combination of onboard sensors and Earth-based tracking signals to track spacecraft. LuGRE’s demonstration shows that GNSS signals can autonomously aid navigation, even at the Moon’s distance."

    so this really changes space exploration as or more significant to the reusable rocket stages.

  • even if he could he would lose the votes of people like me who want a democracy. I would not be ok with this. So if they could they could get the votes of the ultra left that is left the way the ultra right is right now. which is not at all. and of course they would not because that group always said some new litmus test is not met and would still not vote because of it. but folks like me who want a nice functional social democracy and vote every election. to get folks like me you have to work to have a functional social democracy not the other side of the facist coin.

  • I thought the paddles were genius myself. What is it you would have done specifically at the presidents talk. no apples to oranges as the paddles were a thing for his speech and helped fight their willingness to throw folks out.

  • I take a loose cart from the lot if one is nearby as I go into the store. I used to have a dog that was pretty good off leash and would have the claw poop grabber and a bucket and would grab any other discarded things as I walked around a park. I was actually a bit conflicted as I could not seperate recyclables and it would all go in the trash but still felt that was better than strewn around the park. Unfortunately my current dog is not that well behaved (and sometimes I had to stop when someone complained about my off leash dog as then I did not have two hands free to casually work the claw and bucket and would instead have to combine them in one hand). I live in a condo complex and my neighbors and I get each others mail. I am always really on the lookout for things I can do that are really convenient that help or improve a place. I hate facebook but get on it to tell folks its slippery on the sidewalks or whatnot.
