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

Capitulation was originally the negotiation that led to one side surrendering, hence the meaning of capitulation as surrender. But to recapitulate is to have the negotiation again, or kind of re-discuss, which is where we get the word recap.

I just went down a fun little rabbit hole for this only a few weeks ago, glad I got to regurgitate it!

Huh, okay. I don’t really keep up with all of the little fandoms, so thanks for that!

Perhaps it’s a personal failing but I generally don’t care why somebody doesn’t abuse minors, I only really care that they don’t abuse minors.

Isn’t there some question about the specifics of the mechanism of lift itself? Not like “this shouldn’t be possible!” but more “it’s easier to explain than it is to understand”

Can’t wait to hear your plan

This is why online discourse is so hard! Beyond the anonymity, which causes its own problems, the absence of nonverbal cues and lack of immediacy in feedback leaves a lot open to interpretation, so anything can be taken in any way.

Opinions become accusations and idle musings become absolute certainty in the vacuum of supporting information that is text-only communication. I worry that the only real solution is for people to–like you–embrace the uncertainty and gracefully admit that their interpretation could be wrong. And it seems likely that the only way to collectively get to that point is to fuck it up a lot for a long time.

Yeah, the US and Europe do DST a couple weeks apart, presumably because of latitude differences but it could also be spite, I guess.

Lmao, with what money?
