The biggest swindles are still legal. Such as when federal agencies overestimate their needs for the next fiscal year, and then the end-of-the-fiscal-year money dumps that occur (spending unneeded leftover cash on all kinds of bullshit in August and September). This is why you see federal employees go on all kinds of…

As a civilian, y’all need to start arguing against the mentality of ‘justify it or lose it!’. One quarter, my shop had to come up with 100k worth of charges so we could maintain the budget in the following year that we were used to. So we purchased ridiculously overpriced things.

People complain about massive amounts of government paperwork, but it is that same paperwork which helps inform things like congressional legislation and major supreme court decisions decades later. Sure, some of it, like this, sounds pointless, but documenting everything that goes on in the government is a good thing.

I keep my birthday hidden on facebook specfically as a litmus test to see which of my ‘friends’ actually remembers and wishes me a happy birthday....

The number was unsurprisingly low...but then again I can only remember 3 or 4 peoples birthdays myself so I don’t hold it against anyone. Is just a curiosity thing for me.

Why parenthesis?

With all the dead volcanoes on Mars, I wonder if in the past there was an huge out spilling of the hot stuff which depleted its core and thus cooled and stopped spinning, losing its magnetic field which then over time blew the atmosphere which I’m guessing would have been choking thick into space. Over billions of…

There’s already a simple way to do this. Just sign in to multiple google accounts in the same Chrome profile. No need for multiple Chrome profiles or email delegation.

It;s called putting up glass doors all the way down the station... just like every subway I have ever seen in a foreign country but not in america.

The two windows are totally separate entities... they don't share anything. Each has their own cookies/plugins etc. Each window/session would be logged into a different account.

Here is a GIF of how the skyscrapers will work.

Can we stop acting like its a huge shock every time it snows in Hawaii? Mauna Kea is more than twice as tall as Mount Washington, the tallest peak in the northeast. There are only a dozen alps taller than it. Of course they are going to get the occasional snow

That's a great deal, two fetishes for the price of one!

You can turn off peek in the taskbar settings but don't be expecting it to make any difference whatsoever to your PCs performance, even actively using peek it would barely affect performance.

This is a little off-topic, but... I had a friend who showed up to my father's funeral wearing jeans and work boots. Because that's what he wears for his job. He took his lunch break two hours early so he could come and pay his respects and I thought it was lovely. He made an effort to be there for my family and we…

I would like to objectify a lemon cake right now.

the updates so far, they have been found 6 bodies, 3 of them are lifted to an aircraft, and atm they're trying to lift the rest of them, since they said that they're under bad condition like high tidal wave around 2/3 metres high.

Confirmation was made several hours ago by the Indo officials. Western news just started reporting it.

The Russians didn't. It has been suspected that Indonesian search and rescue team found something at 08:00 am this morning, but not until an hour ago they make official public statement.

Did their writing suddenly become more stereotypical of a non-English speaker?

I find it so cool how this rope, 3,000 years old, looks IDENTICAL to rope you can buy and use today. The techniques for making it are different of course, but, honesty, it looks like any old rope hanging around my parents' farm.
