Yeah, you should hire people who you trust will carry out your vision effectively without needing to be harangued all the time, not just to have them act as your eyes, ears, and limbs with constant oversight.

Doing some searches on crime rates in major cities I found that Chicago and Detroit are way worse for crime rates than either LA or NYC. Chicago, LA, and NYC all have very strict gun laws, but Chicago is way worse than the other two. Detroit does not have strict gun laws and is way worse than the rest. LA and NYC are…

Republicans love to cite counting instead of rate statistics, because it plays into their racist narratives.

Colloidal silver supplements?

It’s going to be The Office of behind-the-scenes sports shows.

WRT the email of the week:

I have one. It was like $20 and it runs/draws power through a single USB cable. Portable, too! Rip your CDs to the computer and it's all good.

External optical drives exist, dude.

I think “price point” is valid in that most things are not priced on a true continuum, but get clustered at certain sticking points for various reasons.

This. I was thinking that the martian, Antarctic, and underwater colonies mentioned are all theoretically possible, but only with massive amounts of planning, investment, and risk. If the reward for undertaking these projects doesn’t far outweigh the costs, they simply won’t happen.

Don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos.

Why isn’t dog race with monkey jockeys on here?

I feel like there’s a history between Ned and Cody...

In response to the insanity of KAC, almost everyone has multiple ethnic or national identities in their family tree and lots of people don’t really know what those identities are.

You’re halfway to the premise of the 1975 cult classic Rollerball:

Eventually all uniforms will just be solid colored morph suits (can’t use green for grass) over the necessary sporing equipment so we can just digitally plaster them with ads. You’l have to rent a VR headset as part of the stadium experience as well!

There’s usually two, sometimes in combination with smaller American flags, despite the flags representing warring factions that stood for very different things...

Multiple people were flying it off their trucks around Kokomo, Indiana following the Charleston church shooting and I swear they were doing it before the flag “controversy” got going. Some of these people are IN IT for a race war.

To answer the headline, recent experience says getting up at 3:40 AM is not the best time to wake up, especially when you are doing a 12 hour shift in a hot garage. Thank God I only have one more day of it.

I like to try to figure out who these people are on Facebook. The only thing better is going on 538 where people use their real and often publicly viewable profiles to say insane stuff. Like one dude is a lawyers who constantly shows just the worst logic. I wonder if his clients know his brain is broken.
