Anyone know how this is being accounted for?

Which of his assets gained him like 200+billion in the last year?

I know twitter lost value after he financed it through the saudis, so he must have gained somewhere else, anyone want to save me a Google?

Great point!

I have always said that so long as McDonalds has a hot burger for a few bucks on every street corner, there will not be a revolution in the US.

Rather than starving to death, we have an obesity epidemic along with an opiate epidemic, which prevents the revolution from getting up off the couch.

Not trying to claim a conspiracy here, just the way things are.

Are there any people in your family that are not obese that have chronic pain? If not then I’ll bet it’s closer to 100% due to obesity.

You only get one life to live… eat right and exercise, you can do it! I am half way to my target weight after 6 months of busting my ass and I feel a million times better.

This indeed would probably do the trick

So discussion of jury nullification is ok as a general topic. If someone mentions JN in the context of a crime that has not yet been committed then that’s not ok. If the crime has already been committed then that’s ok. If the crime is not violent in nature then we can discuss JN, and if we are just having a general conversation about JN that’s ok too.

Specifically, the concern is that talking about JN in the context of some hypothetical violent crime that has not yet been committed could be interpreted as advocating for violence.

This sounds pretty stupid so far, but my question is then, why wrap the ToS around specifically jury nullification? Why not just reiterate the ‘no advocating for violence’ policy.

If someone is advocating for violence, then adding on some point about jury nullification is irrelevant, they are already breaking the rule.

Someone had their Chomsky-o’s for breakfast this morning.

Solar system = sun system. Stars in other systems are still suns even if they aren’t called sol. I am wrong see below

Notepad ++ is invaluable for writing code, I’ve used it for a long while now.

Also great is paint dot net which is a super advanced paint application that is borderline as good as photo shop, particularly when you add on all the community-created functionality.

Revo uninstaller is the first thing I put on a new machine before I delete all the bloatware that comes with a fresh install of windows. You would be surprised what is left over when you only use the built in ‘remove a program’ process.

Lastly, browser based but free and excellent, is sketch up, which is an architectural rendering application great for designing restaurants and retail spaces. A little bit of a learning curve but very smooth and functional once you get the hang of it.

Edit - VLC goes without saying right?

I’m sure the new team running the US will get right on that

Small businesses cannot afford a few extra people on staff.

It will be worth it if big corporations start taking care of people properly, but one side effect will be that all the small businesses who already struggle to compete with the big corporations will get completely crushed.

Fair enough that if your business model cannot afford to properly compensate the workers then you deserve to go out of business, but due to capitalism, all small businesses fall in to this category.

Only large corporations can survive the transition into properly compensating workers. Sad all around.

To quote something I made up and say all the time, “It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.”

This was super funny, this person has a great career ahead of her. Very Tim and Eric style obscure indie comedy, I loved it.

This just in, something that only exists as a sci-fi trope which has never been demonstrated to be even remotely possible is not on the verge of spontaneously emerging from something that is completely unrelated and comparatively unremarkable.

I don’t like the phrasing ‘only you know about’ because that’s not an easy standard to meet, however I have seen a lot of movies…

The Man From Earth (2007) - College professors discuss many topics with a colleague who claims to be thousands of years old. Fully dialogue driven movie shot almost entirely in one room. Great pacing but just a little cheesy in a few spots.

Cube (1997) - Without remembering how they got there, several strangers awaken in a prison of cubic cells, some of them booby-trapped. Also sort of cheezy but quite engaging and dialogue driven. Oddly enough this one was also shot in one room, sort of.

Suburbia (1983) - An overwhelming sense of despair impels a teenager to leave his suburban home and join up with a group of punk rockers. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who has a soft spot for the punk scene of the early 80s…

SubUrbia (1996) - not as good as the totally unrelated 1983 suburbia, but still pretty good - Five teen friends spend their time hanging out behind a convenience store in a sleepy Texas town. This one really reminds me of my childhood, spending all night smoking cigarettes with friends in the parking lot of a gas station, doing nothing, wasting away life.

I’ll add more if I think of any.

I mostly watch old movies these days (40’s and 50’s) and I have a million of those that I love but it’s kind of hard to judge how obscure they might be. People who watch old movies probably have heard of most of the great old movies I have seen.

Because your example sentence uses the word ‘went’ rather than ‘was’, you need a comma because those are two separate I dependent clauses.

You and Dave were together and then Dave leaves you and goes driving by himself… me and Dave, then Dave went.

If you used ‘was’ then those would not be independent clauses and therefore a comma would not be used. It was me and Dave and Dave was driving.

Edit: also, why the downvote, we are having a conversation here ??
