He did do the nasty in the past-y.

I get it. It ain’t making me laugh, but I get it.

They did that, too. They released redacted flight logs and documents that were heavily edited, but it was impossible to remove all references to Trump and various oligarchs they’d like to protect, so they stopped.

Closed ecosystems are one of the reasons I don’t use an Apple Watch, iPhone, or MacBook. I know I’m not the typical target consumer, but I’m not that special. There are a lot of people who specifically avoid convergence.

Good point, it’s not necessarily better. It can be much worse for the environment, especially when wells aren’t properly drilled and capped, waste fluids aren’t properly treated and disposed of, transportation pipes leak, or power plants burn inefficiently. All of those things cost money, which means less profit, which means nobody will do it voluntarily.

I said this in another thread as well, but it bears repeating that Natural Gas can be greener than other fossil fuels like coal or oil. As a step in the process, it’s moving the ball in the right direction and most of the gas is mined locally, which means fewer international political complications. It is worth investing in natural gas as a part of a green energy future.

HOWEVER, far too many people make far too much money mining for and selling natural gas for it to be just part of the process. Corners are cut, toxic solvents go into the ground, people die of cancer, and we’re still burning fossil fuels and releasing carbon into the air. It’s better than strip mining for coal, and it’s better than dealing with despots for oil, but if the human race expects to continue to thrive, it’s not a solution.

So I’m torn on this. I want government investments in NG infrastructure, but I want it to come with thick, multistranded cable-like strings attached. I want environmental regulations, and labor regulations. I want price controls and tax revenue. And I want it to include a transition plan away from NG eventually as greener options become more viable.

And I’m fully aware none of that is possible with the current political landscape.

He argued they include private exchanges with lawyers, details about policy-making decisions and information that would reveal how the state entices companies to invest here. Releasing them to the public, he wrote, “would have a chilling effect on the frank and open discussion necessary for the decision-making process.”

Holy shit, that’s definitely an argument in favor of making it public.

I don’t even work for the government, and my personal rule is “never put anything in writing that I wouldn’t be able to explain to a judge.”

You don’t even know how bad it could be.

There’s a memo?

Soooo many safety concerns exist in unimaginable situations only because just a handful of people are aware of them.

I always wanted a novelty 5 inch bay device that was release a small wisp of smoke from the front of the pc case, like mission impossible. It could be a command, or randomized and it would councide with a BSOD or just a power-off command (probably screen off now that I think about it).

X Doubt

I know, the first time someone said it, he wasn’t there, and I was like… wait, are we just fucking with Matt? And everyone said no, he is a dad of young kids who does shift work. He drinks a lot of coffee (we all did, the coffee machine was perpetual employee of the month), and he prefers to have it room temperature because he won’t feel it burn his mouth. So any time a pot sat on the burner for more than a few hours, we’d dump it into Matt’s pot and let it cool.

I always wondered if it fucked up his stomach, because I know stale coffee always gives me heartburn, but we weren’t close enough to have those conversations.

I worked with a guy who had neck surgery that severed the nerves to his taste buds. We worked overnight shifts, and we’d save the old coffee for him because he didn’t mind the flavor of burnt coffee. There was always a pot of fresh coffee brewing and a pot of stale coffee set aside for Matt.

Meep meep?

Touch screens in cars are evidence that the auto industry is actively trying to increase auto accidents.

The crazy part about Fetterman is that he wasn’t tied down by the Democratic leadership. They backed McCormick, a pro-business centrist, during the senate primary, and they didn’t want him as lieutenant governor before that. He was a progressive wildcard that touted his independence from the party. He was always pro-Israel, but he was also pro-healthcare for all, pro-marijuana legalization, supported human rights and a progressive tax code. His heel-turn has been shocking and baffling, and lost him most of his supporters. Fetterman could be primaried from the left or yhe right, and he will probably lose either way. He could switch parties, but there aren’t enough batshit Republicans in PA to make up for his flaws.

If it were manifest, we wouldn’t be having the discussion. A single example would prove me wrong.

Peacemaker was already great. Expand on that.

If they did a Lantern Corps show with Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, he could be maybe flying around the 'verse in an old spaceship with a ragtag bunch of misfits. Maybe have cameos from the voices of Superman and Wonder Woman from the DC MMORPG, and the voice of Clayface from Harley Quinn, Lee Thompkins from Gotham, Dr. Bryce from Legends of Tomorrow, Isabel Rochev from Arrow, maybe the voice of Nightwing from Teen Titans Go just to round things out. Unfortunately the voice actor who played a news anchor on the classic Superman animated series passed away.
