But who do you blame?

I don't think I've ever seen dogs, cats and other domestic animals smile because they're happy and show love to their owners for treating them right.

My dog "smarls" (smile+snarl) at me when I come home. We've taken a still photo of him while smarling and it looks horrifically vicious. It's like a stock photo captioned "aggressive dog". But he's actually happy. The difference is body movement. An aggressive or dangerous dog will be very still, just showing teeth, usually growling and backs away from a threat or quickly lunge if it gets too close. A smarl is usually accompanied by a wagging tail and body wiggles and slowly approaching to get pet.

While I don't fully disrobe, the freedom of pulling one leg out of my pants is amazing. You can get a nice spread going for those times you need to bear down a bit.

It's an IOU! It's better than money. This one $200,000 for a Lamborghini. Might want to hold onto that one.

I usually need to be way more stoned to connect the dots but I'll give it a shot. They are a living breathing flesh and blood person. The money is in an account for the estate "of the same name". One of them is the ALL CAPS name and the other is the First Letter Caps name. The person for some reason can't access the account, but other corporations are allowed because... yeah I need way more drugs to finish that. But that's roughly the idea... I think?

I was young and dumb once too. I can see how the "alpha male" bullshit would resonate with young men. Especially young white men seeing the relative ease their fathers and grandfathers were able to navigate life. They never had to worry about the feelings of others. Now that equality is working its way through society, they might have seen these same role models have a hard time reckoning with that fact and left them frustrated.

FYI "to orbans left" would be to the right in the photo.

I can see it now. The first two cops enter the room and are instantly sucked into the MRI machine due to their guns and other metal items. They comically struggle to use their radio on account of being stuck to the machine. They finally manage to get to their radio and call for help. The moment backup arrives, they are sucked into the machine as well. The third cop lands with his crotch precariously close to the face of one of the other cops. More struggling continues. New guy can get to his radio just fine and radios for more backup. The first two try to stop him but to no avail. Again, backup arrives. Again, backup gets sucked into the machine. "Hey guys, I can reach my radio just fine. I'll call for backup." Cue the chorus "NOOOOOOOO!". He stops. They have a debate over how to explain the predicament to the next round of backup they need to call. They bicker a bit, but settle on an extremely nuanced and verbose message. The reply comes out static-y but they rejoice as surely they'll be saved. Door opens. "You were breaking up. What were you trying to... AHHHHHH!" Sucked into the machine. Curtains close on the cast bickering.

And he usually ends sentences with an upward inflection? On top of a horrendous voice it just makes it more annoying?

I doubt they'd announce charges without the plea if it was guilty. Adams and his lawyers would have been in communication with the prosecutor to discuss plea deals. Had they come to an agreement the headline would instead read like "Adams to plead guilty to [insert crimes here]."

if there's a safety concern that should be handled by regulation

Regulation won't detail what a company does to that level. They might say something like "fasteners shouldn't come loose" but it wouldn't have a torque spec.

If whatever it is is that critical to the safe operation it should be publicly documented so that third parties...

That would run face first into proprietary info and corporate classified info.

I'd temper that by saying a manufacturer would need to provide a reasonable option. Some things could become dangerous or even deadly if repaired incorrectly. Or it could be dangerous or deadly to even attempt to repair it.

That says the Steele dossier was "fraudulent and discredited". Did I miss something? I thought a decent amount of it was framed as hearsay and not trying to make a factual claim.

This timeline is so fucking stupid I wasn't immediately discounting the "Mertrude" claim because.... well this timeline is fucking stupid.

"Trust me, I'm an expert."

Thank you. After the deluge I did hit up Wikipedia. The skin was coated in flammable material as I remembered. It did say the skin being a major factor was controversial and that the burn patterns didn't indicate that to be likely, which is fine. But just the blanket downvotes with no one addressing that is annoying. It stifles any conversation. Were I not a naturally curious person I wouldn't have looked into it further. I'm sure plenty of the downvotes came from people that probably didn't even know about the static discharge part and still don't know because they just downvoted and moved on in their ignorance.

Scott's Creek

So close. :)

No no no. He was totes "undecided" until this one issue. As soon as the next issue crops up, he'll again switch from undecided to trump. He will continue this trend as long as he thinks someone will be convinced. He's the common clay of the new west and he will be heard.
