Jail them!

In prison gen pop. Make execs afraid to break the law for profit and/or fund reform for the prison system.

Unfortunately, the gutting of USAID and foreign aid programs is projected to kill millions in the developing world.

Now, either knock it off and get those nonvoters on our side

I honestly don't believe that is possible. These are people who refused to oppose fascism in the least dangerous, lowest effort manner. I have no faith in them putting themselves in any actual danger to help, when they still do all manner of mental gymnastics to absolve themselves of any responsibility for their actions.

The other guy might not be mad but I am. Maybe when they accept responsibility for contributing to the millions that are going to die globally and the genocide ramping up domestically, we can talk. Until then, they're just a step shy of collaborators, having refused to do the bare minimum to oppose fascism. There were only two possible outcomes in the general election:

1. Fascism.
2. Whoever the dems nominated

Pretending otherwise is just the fallacy of Denying the Correlative. There were no other options and abstaining only increased the chance of a fascist win.

They have a lot of supporters in the Evangelical Doomsday Cult that actively seeks to destroy the world.

Maybe bRock type?

Just hope it isn't The Neptune Protocol.

Exactly what I said. But you missed the bit about Virginia-Perique blends.

Thanks SCOTUS.

Not a good idea. Such a broth can be used as a pesticide but it's also dangerous to humans and animals. Nicotine also absorbs through the skin so, anyone trying this (which I can't recommend but for it's dangers and general lack of need for pesticides in home gardens) should be extremely careful and use all PPE (durable waterproof gloves, goggles, long sleeves, trousers, and waterproof footwear, as well as respirator if there's any chance of aerosolizing) when applying. Seriously. While it has been used historically by home gardeners, the toxicity is no joke.

And, always remember: Proper PPE is sexy.

One of the more notable was a lopsided 99-1 vote to kill a provision in the package — written by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, the chair of the Commerce Committee — to establish a 10-year moratorium on state and local artificial intelligence regulations

Well, at least they offered a warm towelette while fucking everyone but the ultra wealthy.

You have to ask yourself: Is fulfilling that desire for retribution worth the lives of the millions of vulnerable people who would be killed due to lack of medical treatment, potable water, food, etc?

And yet the comments and downvotes shows how contentious it is which I knew it would be when I wrote it.

Probably extra contentious because it's trans discrimination on Pride weekend. And there's the fact that some research (backed by the International Olympic Committee) suggests that trans-women may perform worse than cis-women.

Even if more research comes out that shows otherwise (entirely possible considering that it's hard to get a decent sample population of elite trans athletes as there are so few), discrimination is not a solution. The simplest solution would be to get rid of gendered leagues and group athletes by measureable athletic abilities. Probably would make most people with an actual vested interest happy, with exception of those who want to keep paying women less.

Assumed it was either there or Palo Alto.

Indeed! Would be necessary to ensure that it walks a line that is not ableist, while still preventing obstructionists from having undemocratic power to kill legislation with a "nuh-uh".

Ah! That's unfortunate. If adventurous, maybe hunt down a used battery that partially charges and swap cells?

Have you continued luthiery yourself?

Also, I also have tremors when doing fine detail work. Depending on the cause (and your health), it may be possible for your Dr. to prescribe something to help. Mine suggested that β-blockers could help if it gets too intense.

Yup. A massive portion entry and mid level positions in the scientific field that I did my undergrad in were offshored in my graduation year. This led to competing with PhD and MSc candidates, sometimes with 10+ years of experience, for basic lab tech positions... in a recession. Glad to have developed other skills.

Subject: Fire

Dear sir/madam,

I am writing to inform you of a fire that has broken out on the premises of 123 Cavendon Road.

Fire! Fire! Help me! 123 Cavendon Road.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours truly,

Maurice Moss.

What sort of batteries does it use? If it's just Li-Ion cells like 18650s, it should be fairly easy to DIY. If it's a proprietary Li-Poly, probably going to be more problematic.
