But if there are people attempting to intimidate voters, can we get them cleared out? Being able to make this complaint is at least as important

You have to have the frosting. There’s so little filling that you can’t taste it, but you need something on the cardboard

I’ll have to keep that in mind: I get a craving for pop tarts every 6 months ago. I never understood it because it’s so much worse than my memory and they are just not edible. I’d rather eat the box.

Next time I’ll have to see whether there is a generic

Don’t remind me …. The doublespeak at my company …… we had to use GitHub for the built in AI, but couldn’t even evaluate GitLab’s AI because it costs extra

That’s cool -ish. But ants are everywhere

I really like coverage from @Whataboutit on YouTube, and Felix does include news about the Chinese space program …. And India …. And New Zealand

I still don’t see it. Sure it might be there isn higher quantities than earth. But that’s still a long way to go for any material. Plus how do you get it back? Riding a ship back is doubling the cost and no one wants an orbital bombardment device.

No mayter Elon Musks hyperbole, bringing things up and down earths gravity well will always be horrendously expensive nand I don’t see how you’d recover the cost

We need mining in space to support our space efforts. It’s the other side of the same issue: space presence is unsustainable because even basics like food and water become horrendously expensive when you need to bring them up from earths gravity well.

…… but if you can mine water, split it into oxygen and hydrogen, use regolith for at least the bulk of your shelter, figure out how to grow your own food, you’ve cut the cost of space exploration in half

So the concern is the part of the moon everyone cares about is tiny. Previously it was easy to give other countries plenty of distance to do whatever they were doing. However now there’s a strong focus on places that appear to have exposed water ice, which is only a few craters near the South Pole. Suddenly the moon is tiny and we might be working elbow to elbow

From a propaganda standpoint, it will allow China to declare that it has not just caught up to the United States but surpassed it as this century’s superpower.

It seems like half the articles I read on this claims that only one side thinks it’s a race. Only one side has pride on the line.

Yet just like everything else we’ve handed to China and Chinese companies over the last few decades, our own idiocy and lack of focus is at least as significant of a cause as their rising economic capability.

Take EVs. People complain about Chinese companies stealing intellectual property, but I see the car industry has been outsourcing more and more across decades, and legacy manufacturers seem to have entirely given up on competing. Sorry not buying the excuses when you seem to do everything you can to throw away what advantages you started with

All olives have their place.

• Kalamatas are best for snacking
• greens are a good second
• black olives are great in things like salad, pizza, lasagna where you don’t want it to overwhelm the flavor (but not meatloaf: that must be green)

Yeah I wanted to like moxie and I’m not sure what I expected, but not cough syrup.

Lobster tastes like melted butter: it’s really good.

Actually in general my response to shellfish is that it’s not good enough for the effort you need to put in.

Soy sauce? I do know many people who don’t like black licorice (the best licorice) and have no idea what the rest taste like, but soy sauce? Isn’t that in half the world’s dinner? ( plus secret ingredient for fluffy scrambled eggs?). I’ve never heard of anyone not liking that

If that’s that salted stuff, that’s vile. After comments like this here, I tried it from ikea, and it’s vile. I’m the only one who forced my way through an entire piece but my kids spit it out and my ex refused to try it

I don’t know if this one counts. Aside from what those who have it taste like soap, isn’t this one very commonly liked?

Note that the top “ribbon “ is visible from all of those ribbon choices, while the content pane stuff, like the “About” box are only visible in “Code”

Comments like this are so frustrating to see, as my company goes backwards, moving from Gitlab to GitHub.

One of his few good points, and it may be accidental is that it’s hard to sell a tax increase.

My health insurance premium is way higher than my Medicare tax, so I can recognize that tripling the Medicare tax in my income bracket in order to support Medicare for all will actually save me money.

But there are a lot of people who would stop at tripling the Medicare tax is bad. It would be a hard sell to get past that.

The only real problem with tripling the Medicare tax is that it’s a fixed percentage and is capped, but really ought to be progressive with no cap

Both parties are blatantly corrupt, violate constitutional safeguards, both are rewriting history and reality, both parties cancelled infrastructure spending, both parties cancelled economic development and new energy projects, both parties cancelled student loan assistance ……

I’m still annoyed that my older teen finished the bagels. The entire package, gone before I had any. I have been dreaming of some bagels

We need to remember this - safeguarding data seems like an improvement we can make when the fascists are voted out. It’s bad enough when they lie to constituents about reality but we can make it harder for future despots to sabotage science
