sure, but then that would be ‘onto’ a corner not ‘into’

You think the president knows what podcasts are. lolz

I mean, honest to gosh I’m not trying to be pedantic about it. I just can’t watch the video right now so my brain is all ‘well did he back him into one of those little alcoves that leads to the door? Those kinda have corners.’

Or maybe Trump knocked out a wall to build an alcove/altar to his glory?

host John Dickerson backed Donald Trump into a literal corner

The law, and company policy don’t make that distinction, nor should they. When there’s a barricade, presume it is because the people who put the barricade there checked it and there’s a good reason.

Sure because there’s no way to know what’s under that water until you check it. Just driving through is like going through a rail crossing without looking.

Because lives were at stake. This wasn’t an ‘oops’ this was a deliberate choice to ignore policy, law, and common sense. If someone who does that doesn’t ‘deserve’ to lose their job, who does?

That’s good info, thanks. I was certain there were a lot of factors in play that I hadn’t looked into, but really I was trying to make a basic point about her decisionmaking process and where I thought it went wrong. There were about 97 reasons to detour, and every one that I’ve heard for not doing it centered on ego…

Sure, but since I was coming from the basic perspective of “what not to do in bad weather, regardless of what you’re driving” I’m not sure how good a CDL driver they are matters. On top of all the driving skill considerations, there’s the simple fact that as a bus driver your ‘cargo’ is kids. I used to distribute…

Fairly typical self centered thinking at work it seems. Most drivers who do this see water over the road and think “my vehicle is a <insert whatever> and it can get through that np”. What they don’t think about is, while it may be less than a foot of water over the road, they have no idea what that water has done…

You’ve actually hit upon the biggest impending problem libraries and archives are facing when it comes to electronic media and games. Software is crucially intertwined with its hardware. We’re going to lose a ton of coding and gaming history because of the simple fact there’s no equipment to play it on, and no way to…

Actually, there were plenty of competent people already in positions who were willing to stay, if only for the sake of making a serious effort to educate the Trumpkins and contain the forest fires.

They fired all of them.

You can thank Bannon’s paranoia for that.

It pays to remember that a lot of ideas about censorship were encoded into law at a time when a speech in front of a crowd was just about the only way to get your message to more than a dozen or so people at the same time.

Cancelling a speech used to mean a lot more than it does today, when the speaker can instead…

It’s great that this guy has principles, but they’re misplaced. It’s not possible to censor a message that doesn’t exist. He saw a joke, he saw them change it, he assumed censorship. In reality, there wasn’t a joke, when told it might be seen as a joke, the people who made the thing wanted it changed, non-message…

Seems like they don’t understand that treating him like he’s innocent until proven guilty doesn’t include treating him like he’s the same beloved public figure he once was. My conscience won’t allow me to divorce the artist from the acts, nor support his career while the allegations hang over him. Even if he’s proven…

Pressurized, but not heated or insulated for sound. So not as warm as the passenger compartment, but not as cold as outside. Most animals in a secure crate with some warm bedding won’t be bothered by the temps. However the noise and motions would be incredibly stress inducing, as would the pressure changes.

I’m no vet,…

BTW, taking the last paragraph into account, I *legitimately* did not know you can be racist against a government entity. Against people, yes...against something that is inanimate, I did not know.

I have no idea how old you are, but at a guess I’d say you were 12, 13?

Someone clearly wasn’t paying attention in art school when they talked about photo reference.

More airlines, more flights, more people, of course they end up with more crashes. That doesn’t mean they have more crashes than expected though.
