It looks really bad for a republican controlled senate to vote 57-0 on a climate bill. It actually helps those voters in the middle to potentially lean more democrat. If it’s 57-43 it makes it seem like a reasoned bill that just couldn’t quite cut it and needs some rework. 57-0 makes it look like the whole republican…

I’m so happy this movie is doing well. It looks like it’s amazingly well made, and the top tier cast is getting the recognition they deserve.

Original game was actually first person with a 3rd person option.  It defaulted to 1st person though.  I often played in 3rd person myself.  Perhaps this game is similar in that you can switch on the fly?

For example, the adult man who still describes Wedding Crashers as a “great movie”

oh man I hope people don’t hack her and Nick’s phone.  :(  Maybe their whole relationship is BS but i want to believe they have this really special thing going so I hope people leave their shit alone.

Man HKF I understand so well.  I (hetero male) felt this jealousy when a friend (hetero female) started dating a guy seriously.  And I didn’t understand it at first because I knew I didn’t want to date her.  She was (and is!) my friend.  But I eventually realized what was going on.  She got the idea that I was jealous…

I’m not sure how you can judge that little of it could get implemented. Getting through committee? That’s a different story now with a Democrat majority house. It’d need to get through senate, but actually that isn’t as much of a hurdle as a Republican controlled house was. That said, Aspiration =/= magical thinking. …

In what way? It’s specific about aspirations, and since it is not a policy document, with mandates, the actual explanation for feasibility is that it’ll get paid for with taxes and defecit spending. Without knowing how much this measure will actually cost (which you don’t know. And I don’t know) you can’t really judge…

Action needs to happen right now, but we don’t have to solve the whole problem right now. Again, it’s a roadmap to 2050. And again I’m not even saying this is the right move here, but the idea is that we’re at the event horizon here. If we don’t start taking action right now, then we won’t be able to solve the issue…

High demand for skilled labor would beget cheaper training and more people interested in getting involved. Most huge undertakings do not have enough of the required resources in that moment to get the task done. I mean look at the medical field. We constantly hear there are not enough doctors or nurses. Are we taking…

that’s part of the problem.  If you had read, you’d see that was not at all remotely close to what was stated above.

well yeah I can imagine someone saying “my kid had this issue after getting a vaccine” and the doctor rolling their eyes and being condescending.  Rather than approach it as, yes the vaccine is safe, but something happened and let’s explore that, they just go with “you’re hysterical, vaccines are safe” and they just…

lol that’s ludicrous. That’s totally not part of tipping ettiquette, and even if it was, how’s that getting distributed? Cleaning folks should get basically the ENTIRE 20% I don’t think so.

Typically it’s $1-2 per night all given at the end of the stay.  I don’t understand this lunacy above.

I’ve stood outside while my room is cleaned.  Some may take 30 min.  I’ve never seen it take more than 15 and that’s in luxury hotels.  Agreed with the post above.  30 min is ludicrous.  Even in vegas I saw cleaning staff blow through rooms faster and I’m SURE there are crazy vomit scenes in some of those.

I went to a state school.  Got a great education and I’m way more successful than my friends who went to harvard and yale.  I’m not sure the supposed network benefit you get from those schools is all that it is cracked up to be anymore.

I like Monae

I get frustrated by those movies because on the one hand they’re trying to show that hey moms are people and life is hard and just because you go have fun and do something selfish (and I use that word NOT in a pejorative way but in a good way) doesn’t mean you’re a bad mom. In fact it probably means you’re a good mom.

yeah but above 30MPH it’ll create more drag than help the car, so it’s useless.  I mean frankly it’s an absurd statement anyway that turbineguy wasn’t offering up seriously.  It’s a joke.

Installation is highly variable, but don’t get caught up with the tesla tax. Get quotes on a NEMA 14-50 port and don’t tell them you have an electric car or what kind (even lie if you have to). The cost was $250 to install and I used my included charger from my tesla. I eventually bought a backup one so I could have…
