Yeah, I remember learning about it in a CS class and, specifically, the claim that it's an ideal standard candle kind of image. I always wondered if we couldn't have found a better reference shot of a smooth flower growing in front of a rough stone or something.

Always has been.

Many people dislike their own names, but I think SomeGuy69 is an awesome name, too. Cheer up!

Well, careful there, ZZ is like :wq; ZQ is like :q!.

WPWJG?

I want to believe it'll be hard to find a school that won't already have at least a small group of people who are already going to not make it an easy "nod and clap" talk.

And the thing about regulation like this is that it just resets the bar height for everyone. It's not like this doesn't apply to all competitors.

Unless we mean non-cable competition, i.e. streaming. Maybe that's not under the jurisdiction of FCC? If not, though, then I have to wonder why this has to be an FCC thing in the first place. This is about truth in advertising, in general.

He doesn't even feel constrained by borders. Poisons opponents on foreign soil.

Well, too late to do anything about it. The candidates are now, as the article says,

“Come November they are going to be choosing between two individuals — Joe Biden and Trump, who is dramatically worse when it comes to making any progress at all on climate,” she said.

That's it. If we want anything different, we have to look for congressional candidates who will change voting such that 3rd party candidates can be taken seriously, and we have to fill ballots with better choices during primaries. After primaries, in our "first across the finish line" system, it's all over except for the big tug-of-war between the two parties.

And that takes time. So this year, you're either voting for Biden in hopes of "best we can do right now," or literally any other action (including inaction) is giving it over to a worse outcome for our climate goals.

Ok, if I'm not going to live long enough to see aging reversed, at least I might get to try naturally different-colored bleu cheese.

"Glorious leader" sure sounds like a pretty direct reference to the Kim dynasty.

Well, they are doing a pretty good job burning down their own house.

Same here for "pique".

It's their magnetism.

It's exactly what it means. This has to be potential common ground that can help the "pro life" crowd see that their argument is an oversimplification. But I also think it's a fragile situation. This just passed. It still has to survive court scrutiny, spread, and last long enough for a majority to continue to see it as sensible. I think then in it can be part of an argument that mere conception isn't when a person suddenly exists. (And I know that's all about choosing to engage the discussion on the terms of the "pro life" crowd; the "pro choice" argument isn't contingent on the personhood status of an embryo but, rather, the right of the mother to choose what happens to her own body. But the "pro life" crowd either doesn't seem to grasp or doesn't more highly value that logic, so something like IVF might be like getting them to compare a mother's weight to that of a duck to "realize" what's really important to them, that she's not made of wood.)

What if that's what they expect you'll do?
