How far abaft of the beam? How far from centerline? Is that first or second deck?

The word recap comes from “recapitulation,” and I think that’s neat.

But yeah, this whole regime sucks at everything

Trump himself said he’d never heard of it, which for some was apparently all the evidence they needed, regardless of all of the other giant, glaring warning signs.

The worst and most insidious part is that having the ability to defend yourself and affect the world around you are still the most effective ways to maintain sovereignty enough for self-determination, so there’s a wicked kernel of truth around which layer upon layer of lies, half-truths, and certain-point-of-view justifications are wrapped.

What we were buying was safety and stability, but what we were sold came bundled with as much fine print as the American public can stomach, which is a lot, as it turns out. All you have to say is that we have to attack them to prevent them from retaliating for attacking them and that’s enough.

I really thought we made strides in shaping the military into a more thoughtful force during my tenure in the wake of OIF/OEF so it’s doubly disheartening to see it’s all just coming back to business as usual.

(oops, it’s John, not Jon)

That makes sense and I’ve felt the same with a few bits they’ve done recently, and they harp on things a little too long sometimes (Lyndon Johnson’s nuts, for example), but I still think he/the writers make compelling arguments and present them in interesting ways.

It’s amusing and informative, perfect for laugh-crying about the state of the world.

And Last Week Tonight with Jon Oliver.

For the late shows I like Kimmel well enough, but he just doesn’t have the same charisma as Colbert.

I believe that’s something that the White House has said, to lend more credence to its supposed importance

I eat asparagus rarely but I can always smell it in my urine. I drink black coffee regularly and I’ve never smelled anything of note in my urine afterwards.

In the calmest of times submarines have poor connectivity with the outside world, so there’s no telling what they’ve been told.

Maybe the Illuminati gave him the information!

The use of generational demonyms annoys me, too, because it’s such a broad brush that has only become broader with time. In reality baby boomers should probably only refer to people born in the US in the immediate aftermath of WWII, but practically it includes people born well into the '60s.

A 20-year span is too long for meaningful grouping; a 40-year-old in the same “generation” as a 20-year-old is crazy.

Unless there’s some Tourette syndrome going on I don’t see why anyone should have to tolerate hateful speech.

I started by picking a lot of indexers, trying to cover my bases, but every search would take forever because it sifts through every match to find the best one for your criteria. In the end I pared it down to just to just a couple big ones that even I’ve heard of and it’s been fine 98% of the time.

I’ve always heard the private indexers are best, but I don’t have experience with them.

They struck down his reasoning for imposing some tariffs, not his ability to impose tariffs granted by other laws or decisions.

In that case I can tell that you don’t!

Naw, but seriously, I would like to hear the more complicated answer to why wind isn’t as viable. Even with needing three to have the same capacity, and even assuming that it scales linearly, it still seems like wind is a lot cheaper for what they’re presumably trying to accomplish, which is to provide energy rather than extract value, right?

Every fucking time I see it I get excited, only to be let down by finishing the sentence

I don’t think that puts enough blame on the assholes with money who are taking advantage of the system and intentionally tipping the scales

Sounds like they split the signal after the cable box. The original Duplicate Screen.

Maybe it’s just my algorithm but I don’t think I’ve been presented any slop videos. Surely not long videos, right?

Walking backward is just walking negatively forward by another name
