The really sad part is, I can’t tell if you’re talking about the university or the fraternity. Everything you said could apply to both.

More realistic outcome than what the article has: The school loses a lot of money due to financially-set backers who graduated the college as part of the fraternity who decide to withhold funds in protest of the move. The college, facing sudden inability to meet operational costs, cuts short the investigation, finds…

Adoption agencies tend to discriminate against soldiers because their very livelihood makes them likely to be killed plus the military tends to move personnel around a lot, thus guaranteeing in the agency’s eyes the child will not have a stable household.

The Defense Department is a massive black hole when it comes to budget oversight. Last time I heard anything about it from the Defense Department people themselves, their budget is more guesswork than hard numbers. Millions of dollars simply vanish with no one having any idea what happened to the money on a pretty…

Note I am making this a separate post from my talk about what an ecological disaster is for a reason.

When you bring up the idea of saying that mercury bulbs not being recycled are the same problem as coal fired power plants, that is confusing level of disaster for type of disaster. I stated those mercury bulbs would be an ecological disaster; that’s a type, not a severity. It would also be true by what qualifies an…

Nah. Diztrakted mixed up a 2011 light bulb announcement with one from 2013 (LEDs were first available in 2011). It’s not uncommon.

Might want to recheck the timeline on that. Household LED light bulbs were available in 2011.

Yes, I have. The longest one lasted 5 seconds when I measured it on a stopwatch, and the landlord stated an electrician had said the power fluctuations were caused by the building’s very outdated wiring when I talked to him about it.

It would have just been massively easier to say “The eagles are a type of angel.”

No. It’s code for LSD.

Nah. We stopped using the Pax after the Miranda Incident blew up in our faces. Blasted Tam whistleblowers...

It’s a species survival trait. We needed someone to eat the strange berry plant and determine if it was safe or going to kill us, and Ugg the Moron is a lot better of a sacrifice than Ogg the Intelligent Leader.

I’m going to be blunt: I am being an asshole about this.

The “Knowing X” comments are a figure of speech used by some when used in regards to nations, typically ones you’ve worked with many times before on other issues.

Now, to wonder how many people don’t yet realize the solution I gave up above when I said France has the basics of a logistics system for distributing food to the charities on the high end was actually modifying Mile_N’s explanation of how it works to keep the existing French system and make it more functional.…

*you’re

Not knowing how the system of donating is going to work under the current law is a logistical problem. A pretty fucking big one. Not understanding the basics

LEDs have issues with some older electrical set-ups where a power fluctuation that dims the lights and then brightens them quickly can burn the LED bulb out. It also happens in the fluorescents, but less often. Wasn’t much of a problem with incandescents. So, it’s either rewire my entire building, which I can’t do…

I think everyone will be glad for that. I know I will be.
