Thanks for the recommendation. I'm heading off on a kind of long road trip, and I'll slip it into my rotation.
I really haven't listened to them since they moved from Touch & Go. I'll give their new stuff a try.
That was my thought as well. I'm also thinking it might be a challenge to get something to read them in 100 years.
Jokes on them workers! Boeing used all that excess cash they got by poor pay and shitty work to jack up their stock through stock buybacks. Which just helps out the rich. If you don't know the subject, look up some articles. It's almost universally seen as a pretty fucked up, economically, idea. It used to be illegal, as it is seen as market manipulation, but thanks to St. Reagan it came roaring back in '82. It also feels great that a lot of big companies receive gov't help, and have used that money to buy back stock and give wealthy more money. Just another example of taxpayers subsidizing the rich.
I really was enjoying Handmaiden's Tale (the TV series), then I happened to read the lead character is a true blue Scientologist. That fact made the show unwatchable.
The term “Republican in name only” was used in the 1920s and the 1950s, then in the Ronald Reagan-era 1980s. The term “RINO” appears in print in December 1992 in an article from Manchester, New Hampshire. -source
I'm no expert, but I think KeePassXC doesn't need to sign in to a server somewhere.
The DNC exists to protect incumbents. Don't be fooled, the Dems (elected officials, not voters) don't want ranked choice.
More voters went from Hillary Clinton to John McCain in 2008 than went from Sanders to Trump in 2016 -Source
I've yet to meet a Libertarian who wasn't just a lazy Republican.
I wish these entry-level workers would think of the stockholders for once.
Seems needlessly obtuse. A 2 story house has 2 stories, so I go upstairs to the second story. Not a hill I'm going to die on, nor a thing that I've ever an iota of trouble with when traveling. I've never really understood why people get so twisted about what another country uses. Difference is one of the big things that makes travel fun, or at least interesting.
Do "2-story" homes in England actually have 3 floors?
Damn. I don't know what you even can do. It's like watching an accident happen in slow motion. I have nothing to say except good luck.
koreader is my goto reader, on my tablet and phone. The interface is a bit unintuitive, but once you get it set up to your liking, it's a great reader.
I've just watched the first one. Thanks for posting. It's nice listening to a higher level of discourse after the current level of weak bullshit.
As I read somewhere recently, there is good weird and bad weird. You know which is which by how the target reacts. Almost all my friends are weird. Good weird. Except for Steve.
I just use Telegram with friends and family as an alternative to sms. I'll have to ask if any of them are selling drugs, because it would be handy to have a connection.
The only one I've found is this one, but it doesn't work. It only triggers if I open the keyword interface and save it after every page load. I don't know enough to fix it.
Any advice for a regular smart 27 year old youngster, who has chronically underachieved and is motivated to turn their life around. They have a couple years of JC completed, and has no idea what path to take, or really what paths exist.
EDIT: OK, I see I gave slim pickins here. It's not me, it's my neighbor's kid. I've known his parents since before he was born. He's a super smart kid, but like a lot of smart kids, he got kind of jaded about...well, everything. I was visiting the other day and he asked me for advice, and my retired ass has nothing. Any relevant personal experience I may have, became dated years ago.
He's good at just about all subjects. His longest lifelong hobby has been video games. He took a few programming classes and liked it, but the thought of doing it full time as a career would quickly become torture.
He's kind of half-assed things and just realized he needs to get his shit straight. He was thinking something like finance, just numbers. Something solid that's just a career direction. He is going back to school, well most likely he is, but he needs an idea of what path to take. Most of his friends are unemployed/underemployed with computer degrees.
India is sending back thousands of Myanmar refugees, whom they blame for ethnic violence erupting in Manipur state.
Nobody seems to be talking about the continuing genocide of Rohingya in Myanmar nor India's heartless and illegal current actions.

My ISP seems to be throttling my VPN connection. Just started a week or so ago. Anyone have any tips for correcting this shit?
Edit: Sorry, I didn't leave much info. I guess I was thinking in more general terms. I use PIA, have for years. I've tried to change protocols and ports, my VPN speed still sits around 10K. Just ridiculous. Speed test without VPN:
SOLVED!! OK, I'm an absolute idiot. The tl;dr I had accidentally toggled the Toggle Alt. Rate Limits setting. Thank you everyone for attempting to help that which couldn't be helped!
I read Kim's Mars trilogy years ago and liked it. I decided to pick up The Ministry of the Future a couple days ago. It's very different, and without any spoilers, I have to say it's made me hate humanity even more than I already did. If you haven't read it, it's a near-future climate disaster book. Well written, interesting structure, and just pissing me off. I'm about halfway through it, so maybe it'll swing the other way in the second half.
Well this looks more awful than I could have imagined. Incredibly shitty casting.
Data is consistent with bosses using RTO to reassert control and scapegoat workers.
Nothing we all didn't know.
My mom has a hole in the ground that she puts her clothes drying hanger in. Like this. The hole in the ground is a 2" or so pipe, set in concrete. The pipe has filled with gravel. Anyone have a tip on getting the rocks out? I can only get so many out using my fingers and then trying to use a set of chopsticks.

Seems appropriate for some reason.
At least 200 Israelis have been killed and 740 wounded, according to reports from media and health officials. Gaza health officials say nearly 200 Palestinians have been killed with more than 1,600 wounded.
This seems far more serious than the typical lobbing explosives at each other in which Hamas and Israel habitually partake.
OK, this is dumb, but it's gone through my head a couple times. I've seen a few science fiction movies and shows where the people in the spaceship use a gravity assist and lean into the turns like they're driving NASCAR or riding a roller coaster.
I think they wouldn't feel the acceleration (vector change) because gravity is doing the acceleration on every molecule and there would be nothing to lean against. I'm often wrong though. Someone smarter than I am have some insight?
EDIT: For what it's worth, I guess I shouldn't have used the Expanse clip as it upset some people. I just used it for an example of what I was asking. The question is this: Under little or no thrusters, would you feel a gravity assist? Even a radical one that changes your direction 90 degrees and greatly increases your velocity?
Well, almost zero activity on this sub. Still a nice break from the shithole that is the reddit amcstock sub. It's really something looking at this stock and realizing that the tens of thousands I spent over the past year could be bought with a few thousand dollars now. Disheartened and disgusted. No reason to sell because I've lost so much already. Fucking hell.
I was lucky enough to see Boingo live a few times. Danny killing Coachella a couple years ago absolutely blew me away. I didn't see it live, didn't even know he was performing, but I saw the video of that performance and it blew me away.
That has little to do with this video. I can't say I have a favorite Boingo song, but Grey Matter will always be in the discussion.
I haven't been on the other site even once since bailing when the API shit started happening. I just went to the old amcstock sub and have to say I don't miss it. Still filled with "trust me bro" posts, a scattering of "MOASS is imminent" posts. No real information, just hype, like a warm up act. I only check the stock about twice a week these days. The only thing that has stayed with me from those old frantic days is "Zero or MOASS" I'm not going anywhere.
