And there’s the republican strategy which so distinguishes itself from other political groupings, (except perhaps Fascism): absolute dogged lack of (public) doubt. Doubt is one of the true gifts of advanced mentalities, and the GOP functionally have extinguished it. Too little of it and you resolutely sail off the…

Very likely someone else will ask this question more intelligently, but on the off chance... let’s say there’s a significant electrical failure in the vehicle as it’s coasting downhill... the car without an emergency brake handle connected to (aircraft)cable to the brakes, is it able to stop or no?

Some other fine person will pop to blather this, but it bears repetition: if george-w is “the worst” then trump isn’t - and that’s a contradiction with current reality so by modus-tollens the assertion ain’t right t’all. Perhaps the headline writer should’ve considered the merits of the indefinite article? That is,…

I have great hopes that those of us who prefer a pocket watch, (the unbreakable LG/GS170) which also can do some phone stuff, are utterly unreachable in this, (and so much more). (‘twas the model which utterly destroyed the dixie-cup onna string market)

Thankee for your sacrifice for our sanity, (too bad we already spent it on candy and clown weasels). So you’re saying that carlson’s sponsors (which would be who?) failed to get their pound of eyeballs?

Chuck Grassley released a letter Friday morning by 65 women who said they knew Kavanaugh in high school that said he “behaved honorably and treated women with respect

Le mieux est l’ennemi du bien —Voltaire (or as rendered into pig-latin: atyay eastlay ethay innerway isn’tyay ayay epublicanray)

“A secret letter” eh? is it “A”? is it scarlet? (probably something from Seuss’s alphabet which for kavanaugh would be nearby yek-ko)

With the advent of perfect recording devices armed with surprisingly loud speakers why (oh why) doesn’t nearly every political interview start out akin to: “A mere five months ago you said this [play recording] - today you’re saying the diametric opposite. Why shouldn’t we assume that everything you say today you’ll…

i’m shocked *shocked* that negative campaigning is happening in New York!

There’s a word you-all need here: toyetic (and yep, it’s like a really real word ...really (and Christmas is coming and there’s money to be made))

Of the irregular array of twenty-three white folks we see perpetually arrayed behind trump at a trump rally how many: (a) have received $50 to just stand there looking off into space (wondering if they should get new mud-flaps for their truck), (2) have received $100 to just stand there looking off into space and hold…

I think you’ll find that “Random White Women” (or RWM) are only pseudo-random ...white women. (and therefore a security risk)

...and yet, there sits in frozen abandoned spaceship stasis: “How Things Work” (by Nick Denton) from a shade over two years ago at: http://gawker.com/ do none of these eeevil robber-barons wish to own/update that fine piece o’ domain flesh?

This Is The Southernmost Junkyard In The World

Labor day, its origins and how it ought to be remembered, is very much anti-republican day; and only that because of how the republicans have developed into the party devoted to the 1%. They know this, we know this, but about 37% of the voting public cannot be reached to convince them of this, (because Fox has…

mega-CEOs are enriched (accent on rich) for solipsistic mania. Add to that, in equal proportions: constant pressure of media glitz and Ambien; and lo: 1-outta-3 start saving their toenails and urine in bottles.

And you just know version-2 of this is a sealed cargo hold and no one on board (who need to be fed and paid and stuff) ...then eevil hackers gain control and redirect it to their island of cutting torches and fast pirate boats. So version-3 has no wireless connections at all, but only a satellite laser uplink ...so…

My NMR datasets are typically about 750Mb a shot. Most (non-HD) films run about the same size, or about 2.5 TV shows. You’re right of course, this isn’t “my” internet, it’s publicly funded (it’s a public University) and the University gets “indirect costs” from the national funding agencies, so it’s nationally funded,…

They can’t tell what you’re torrenting; only that you are torrenting. So torrent something strictly academic, torrent something for your amusement (which you may’ve even paid for), or torrent something that some corporation declares is their property and you’re equally guilty with this mode of control.
