I disagree that nice people are bad at politics. I mean we have Tim Waltz today as successful governor and VP-nominee and he might be the nicest man alive.

Carter was a poor communicator and suffered from an ineffective cabinet. As an engineer he approach problems with a practical to find the solution, but sometimes there are no practical solutions and people just need comfort/inspiration from their leaders.

This specific interaction would have never happened if public transportation was provided free of cost.

There’s going to be some good ones for sure

To clarify, he was found liable for sexual assault, missing NY states legal definition of rape but those sexual assault actions should still be understood as rape in common language.

The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was ‘raped’ within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape,’ ” Kaplan wrote.

He added: “Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that.

Kaplan said New York’s legal definition of “rape” is “far narrower” than the word is understood in “common modern parlance.”

The former requires forcible, unconsented-to penetration with one’s penis. But he said that the conduct the jury effectively found Trump liable for — forced digital penetration — meets a more common definition of rape. He cited definitions offered by the American Psychological Association and the Justice Department, which in 2012 expanded its definition of rape to include penetration “with any body part or object.”

I can’t get over how I’m learning about small town economic policies via a meme. Thanks for spreading awareness!

This Washington Post article talks about the policy and how other small cities are trying the same thing https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/08/30/cumberland-maryland-revival/

Radiate me in caffeine while I mainline sugar

Probably voted that way because she was assured Biden would continue to hammer out a better deal for the rail union, which he did! Better healthcare, more PTO, and the addition of paid sick days!

Here’s the article right from the rail union thanking Biden for not giving up on their fight. https://www.ibew.org/media-center/Articles/23Daily/2306/230620_IBEWandPaid#:~:text=These%2012%20unions%20represent%20more,agreement%20for%20paid%20sick%20leave.%E2%80%9D

Dang, I must have skipped school the day they taught estimation

Tell me you hated math in high school and I can guess you got back pain in your early thirties

I’ll second Ombi. It has a slick interface to search for any movie/tv show and when the user presses a download button the backend interfaces with other apps to download the media and provide it to Plex. Having your partner interface directly with Radarr or Sonarr just isn’t as user friendly

Big yes to those data labels! The trend lines don’t tell much of a story when there’s only two points along the x-axis. Actually the red trend line is confusing since it trends up I’d expect “more” of a disagree but the data labels show there were 5% less disagree.

I like this format the best of the three charts you posted here. Something about stacking them in order from smallest to biggest makes more sense

Never seen Numenta talked about in the wild! Worked with them on a pattern recognition project in college and it was freaky similar to how toddlers learned about the world around them.

Love this idea! I’ve mostly read my books through digital means so looking around my house it doesn’t appear I’m much of a reader.

Estimating how many bookshelves I’d need to store my collection is a fun metric.

All non-dairy milks have their place, so it depends where you’re using it as a replacement to cows milk.

I enjoy Oatly oat milk for cereal, coffee, and if a recipe calls for milk I typically use it.

Coconut milk is delicious in smoothies.

Nut milks are good in baking.

What were you trying to use Nitinol for?

Omg that’s a dramatic change! He looks like a ghoul in the article compared to this pic

'Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.’

The News Industry is profit driven just like all the rest. I wouldn’t point blame journalists for being dumber when it’s just as likely that it’s management pushing for more content with quicker turn around times.

Long term investigative journalism is expensive and the output is still only one article. From a profit prospective, why not spend the same investment in puff pieces to produce a dozen articles written to drive engagement.

I love this Seinfeld meme format

I’m not sure it’s a flex, just a funny little ornament. Thanks for posting because this will be perfect for my friend who loves pickles lol
