  • "Look, we've only got the one engineering set, so we'd better use it."

  • How much of the decrease in national crime is due to people choosing just to play on their phone instead of do crime?

  • And Roe v. Wade increased access to abortion about the same time, together with the leaded gas.

  • According to the non canon Star Trek Technical Manual, the transporter physically disassembles your particles, moves them to the destination location, and reassembles them with quark level accuracy. So-called "Heisenberg compensators" are a key technology to allow this to occur.

    The on screen canon is at least somewhat consistent with this, but maybe not entirely.

  • That kid looks ready to raise your health insurance deductible again and deny your claim for insulin.

  • Nate Silver issues "good news" for Harris on electoral college chances

    Jump

  • I think Silver. Nate left FiveThirtyEight and now the site doesn't even publish any kind of predictive model.

  • The President can do a lot of macro things that affect oil supply, like exercising some control over leases in public land, choosing to regulate or deregulate fracking, or invading a foreign country to obtain more oil.

    In a more micro scale the President has fairly direct control over the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and can decide when to release and when to replenish.

  • I think I've seen at least one that has returned to Pizza Hut after leaving the folks for a while.

  • Sheriff has pathetic defense for using Trump lies to threaten people

  • The US has a few thousand miles of land borders, and there are some neat places to visit along them.

    I'm not at all sure where this gentleman went or why.

  • I thought they catch fire and burn down slowly.

    Correct. Both the recent pager and radio attacks, and the 1996 cell phone attack, were performed by planting military explosives inside the devices in advance.

    There is no magical way to hack the electronics to make a lithium battery straight up explode.

  • Vance says Haitian migrants with protected status are 'illegal aliens' to be deported

  • TPS is a lawful status in federal law. But it's also not a regular immigration status that you'd get with an actual immigrant visa.

    The idea is that TPS recipients are going to ship back out just as soon as Haiti (or wherever) gets its act together again. It's not a very secure status and does not lead to green cards or naturalization.

  • Also, Israel already assassinated someone by exploding their cell phone way back in 1996.

  • What weird false belief did you have as a kid?

  • When I started on Debian, there was only apt-get. (And dpkg if you manually pulled .debs from somewhere).

    Then a little while later, there was aptitude, which was nice.

    apt the command didn't show up until 2014.

  • Trump is giving away the store on taxes

  • And historically leads to stuff like putting the one final screw in domestically so you can slap that Made in America tag in it and avoid a heap of tariffs.

  • Mozilla exits the fediverse and will shutter its Mastodon server in December | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Technically I think that's still "put us first on the search bar" money. You're giving the real under-the-table explanation.

  • Trump’s second assassination attempt is shocking, but attempts on presidents’ lives are not rare in US history

  • attempts on presidents' lives are not rare in US history

    And that's why the Secret Service is as comprehensive as it is. Ultimately, the democracy responds to problems.

  • Uranium doesn't usually glow in the dark? If you can see a blue glow, you need to get the heck out of there, or submerge it in a lot of water.

  • Well you see, every February is egg laying season, and he needs those warm sandy beaches to incubate his spawn.

    Usually, he can just go down to Galveston and get what he needs. But that year was a very, very special case. It's not easy being cold blooded.

  • FBI flagged as 'major government contractor' questions why Harris isn't being assassinated

  • SpaceX is beating the pants off every other domestic launch provider unfortunately. All because Musk took some fantastic risks with his own money, and they paid off handsomely. And the worst part is SpaceX is a private company: no public shareholders to keep Musk in check.

    You may have heard about ULA having a wee bit of trouble with some capsule thrusters. They have lost some truly epic amounts of money on that program.
