This is the same company that, 60 years ago, built a turntable to throw lemmings off the edge of a cliff for a "nature documentary" since they weren't jumping over on their own.

Lemmings do not actually commit suicide in nature...

We have a constitution so old as to be a relic, antique. No well run democracy still uses a constitution that old, because they've made huge improvements in the past couple centuries. We should absolutely start from scratch.

If you get an expensive one with both in and out ventilation through the window it can be good. But you’re spending a lot more than just a window AC at that point. The cheap ones actually vent your cold air outside.

I got a couple of $150 cheapo units at the big box stores to supplement our central air during heat waves, have been just fine. 5k or 6k BYUs at least.

Few years ago I got a Nest Secure to go with my other Google Nest gear. One day Google emailed me to tell me Assistant was now enabled on my security system. Oh, by the way, it has an undocumented microphone!

That’s when I realized what a privacy nightmare Google really is. I know Apple isn’t great but come on.

Came here to say what dreams may come, Beautiful but unbelievably sad movie that you will not want to rewatch.

And this is how children’s movies were until like 20 or 30 years ago when everything got soft round edges.

That's a problem for marketing.

I’m stashing cheap pistols around my house, so yes I’ve got a plan

Stucco and food coloring, cause then the kid gets to keep it afterwards.

Mods acting capriciously and according to how mad they feel - banning you across multiple communities at once because you hurt their feelings - honestly this is Mickey Mouse as hell, but we are ruled by these people. *typo

You got a dog? Still smoke?

That was actually their lawyer's argument, that "incognito mode" being private was just something people assumed and ran with, not their fault.

Front end, back end

This is an important bit of cognitive dissonance occurring right now, Christians do not consider their "medically necessary" abortions to be "abortions." And they don't think anyone BUT them can actually have a medically necessary one, everyone else is using them for birth control. So the laws should become more restrictive, not less.

He can have it both ways. He is just going to say the farmers are heros for "taking the risk" and "protecting us all" from the violent cohort that is required to get our food to table now. Immigrants can be the enemy even more than ever, his base gets to eat up a new form of cognitive dissonance like a brain tumor, all will be well this time next year for them.

It's also like the death penalty that it riles people up, they say "God Damn Right" and "They DESERVE IT my mofuckin' KIDS gotta be PROTECTED" while painting anyone who doesn't like it as sympathetic to perverts.

So, it's going to probably work really well.

My city specifically says, as a homeowner, I can do basic electrical without pulling permits. Now I'm in the South and I've rented houses which were internally wired with lamp cord - people can and will do some crazy fucking things. But my city doesn't have an unusually high electrical fire rate.

As always on an old house tho - grandfathered in many ways - I point to things and say "it was like that when I bought it." Why yes, I'm prepared to claim the EV hookup is part of the original 1902 electrical service.

The ops guy drew up multiple plans for a redundant light source and plans to train staff on light bulb replacement protocols, but was overruled by management who found this to be too costly. Maybe next year tho.

Parenting books were serious business, whole generations were raised with Dr Spock for instance, who had fucked up ideas about childrearing.

It's one thing to ask for tips on getting a baby to sleep, it's another to ask it for formula recipes. Unfortunately I doubt most parents know the line where it becomes dangerous, but I am hoping here.

Makes me sad that I know exactly what you mean, this new glass shit has me nervously eying the Linux door.
