Accessible sugar out of the tropics in a long term grid down scenario is unlikely. Processing beets at home? Fuggetaboudit. Honey is a decent bet, but CCD makes small scale beekeeping rougher. I guess malting barley will do to take advantage of starches. Sorghum and maple will do it, too, but require specialized…

Anecdote tangentially related as to why these muscles aren’t flexed: the man who taught me regression analysis managed a state pension fund. Kept pushing the state Treasurer about ethical behaviour and action against insider trades and such. Sympathetic temperment from the Treasurer, but a bit wishy washy pushing real…

This. X-37 or whatever picks up a 5 gigaton nickel iron asteroid, and swings it on Pyongyang or Tehran or whereevs with a years’ worth of microgravity maneuvers.

Until VW goes back to making cars I can fix on the side of the road with pliers and a coat hanger, Ferdinand Porche will continue rolling in his grave. We might as well hook a magnet to him, wrap some wires, and generate free electricity.

This is the correct answer, the article is wrong, it was red lead used for antifouling back in the day, made from litharge, one of the common ye olde day sources of lead. I am really sad funny answers make it above correct answers.

I post pictures of my rooster online, because that is what an ex said I need to do to get all the chicks.

Totally different situation, but I didn’t even think of getting out of my vehicle, and agitated enough that common sense did not kick in.  Much like the example of freezing in -30 conditions within sight of a gas station, the exceptions to a rule of thumb should be noted.

Got disabled w/o battery(flashers) partly in a lane on an interstate offramp.  When the trooper arrived, he said I was an idiot for staying in the car, since there were many near hits as cars swerved at the last second.

Depends on whether your coworker microwaves the fish while filleted or alive.

1 in roughly 15 odds of winning something, even if it is just a few bucks.

I mean, Kelly is not the most giant asshole, he’s just doing his job in a shitty situation with a horrible leader. Bolton is a psychopath nerd who weasels his way into creating terrible foreign policy. If Kelly literally beat the shit out of Bolton, I would assume he did it with his oath to protect the constitution in…

Bigger fan of the Wiesel...that bugger would be so slick for “Optionally Manned”.

Kinda mirrors what happened when they gutted USACE abilities for base construction back in the 90's. Little things, like “Don’t build in a floodplain” were lost, and were constant problems in Iraq and Afghanistan. And the last of those old USACE guys are about gone.

And obviously anybody who feels passionate enough to get a felony in protest about an issue shouldn’t be allowed to vote on those issues./s

I vote for politicians who promote progressive taxation the majority of time, unless another issue torques me. My point is, using your definition of “condone”, anybody not actively(and voting is pretty flipping passive in a republic) stopping a greedy person is condoning them.

You’re reishi-ing for the low hanging fruit.

How would somebody disallow greed, other than some sort of assault on the person or person’s assets? Speaking against a concept while not taking an equally objectionable action to stop it might be the thought here.

Wow.  Okay, I am not familiar enough with the case or law out there, thank you.  Kinda messed up you could be penalized for advising your employees of a potential workplace hazard, if we want to designate people on the sex offender list as hazards.

Just curious, could Shane Black have been in violation of California law by asking about this actor’s sex offender status?  Or by disclosing it?  

But that’s the thing. Judges are indoctrinated to be douches. “May I approach the bench, Your Honor?” Do you think if you went up to 90% of the judges in America to give a handshake you’d get one? They can put you in jail for simply being disrespectful, “Contempt of Court”, which has some pretty broad leeway.
