Nice. Fun fact: some of the earliest computers used columns of mercury as RAM. Acoustic waves in the mercury acted as a delay line; you just waited for the data you wanted to go by.

You think bitcoin isn’t fiat?

That's only for dying in wars and going into huge debt.

Because it’s obviously implied that all people considered for cabinet positions will have the ability to do the job. No one has ever advocated that unqualified women be handed positions (much as unqualified men are sometimes handed positions by their friends and family members.)

I am a supporter of whomever is the democratic nominee, because I don’t want the country going backwards in time the way it will with a Republican president. I don’t have any stipulations on who has to be the VP.

Don’t worry; reddit is already having a collective meltdown over it.

That is a bullshit thinly veiled excuse for sexism.

“Well, I am going to have a Cabinet that looks like America”

No, baby, keep the mask on. I’m a progressive.

16 Phases of Ice you’ve never heard of - number nine will leave you speechless!

Well that’s a completely wild ass and unfounded extrapolation. Quantum tunneling is nothing new. We’ve been actively exploiting it for over half a century. Experiments in the tunneling of bonded hydrogen in molecules, including water, has been going on for decades.

That’s pretty weak. I’m highly skeptical of that interpretation. For one thing, it requires the Native Americans of the Southwest to call the same assortment of stars ‘the scorpion’ that the Greeks/Romans did. I find that hard to buy.

And watery tarts lobbing swords.

I think I’d probably go with “...as Cops Attempt Rescue” in the title. They got in there and gave it a shot, but without a boat and proper equipment they’d be putting themselves in a ton of danger.

or they are all, “I don’t want to choose sides and I’m totally liberal, but I don’t want to have to choose one specific side”. Those people piss me off. Even my fiscally conservative, socially liberal boyfriend is voting democratic. Fuck all of this.

This is why every Bernie or bust asshole can kiss my ass. These laws will keep getting passed and we need a court to over turn then.

I think your view of history is not very accurate. The Evangelical Base in the US has always existed and bubbles up sometimes, but they did not start to be politicized in a wide way until the 90s. So if it seemed, to you, that the 90s and early 00s were a time of keeping them under control, that is because you were…

“If we take care of morality,” David Brumbaugh, a Republican Representative in Oklahoma’s House , said during deliberations, “God will take care of the economy.”
