This is why we can’t have good things

Finally I get to be a superhero …. By the power of long showers I help make it impractical to introduce enough poisons into our water supply

I suppose there’s staging a “terrorist” attack as an excuse to invade/nuke some other country

My city facilitated that a decade or two ago by building new indoor reservoirs specifically for water treatment. Now we have a small handful of facilities set upon for massive chemical insertion and holding about half a day’s worth.

That being said, you’d still need the cooperation of people at each site, security at each site, truckers and suppliers. But that’s only one city: multiply that by the thousands of cities plus now you’d need huge amounts of chemicals that someone would surely question. That’s a lot of moving parts.

No, it would be blue states (not just California) setting aside in escrow money owed to the federal government, while pursuing a legal suit for the federal government to follow through on its commitments. This is a legit approach for an individual with a complaint against a business like a landlord, so it seems like you could pursue similar logic

The law does allow you to withhold payments to someone who owes you. For example, it’s legitimate to withhold rent from your landlord as long as you are setting it aside and have a legitimate habitability case ongoing.

This should follow the same logic

IF you turn off searching the internet and fetching ads, file search can still be fast. However Microsoft keeps resetting that so I just gave up - winfdows search is not worth ising

That ai search seems like a good feature - I never could find anything on reddit.

I even have some sympathy for them not wanting our freely given content to be freely given to others … no I don’t, and it’s a shame they couldn’t have handled that differently. Too little too late

I’m sure he means evil, but wearables really can be a boon to health. His agency really needs to be more proactive with establishing privacy protections and certifying accuracy’s/correctness, to make this really take off.

The Bluetooth visualization caught my eye, but I’m here for the Alexa integration.

My most amusing automation is telling my teens to goto bed, at midnight on weekends, maybe I can spice it up a bit

Maybe a better approach is to find out what seems attractive in that type of life. You may be able to find it still somewhat near what you’re used to. Massachusetts still has plenty of small towns, lower cost areas, and rural areas, as do the rest of New England. But you’ll still be near whatever friends and family, medical care, transportation, be able to go into Boston if you want, progressive politics, etc

Worst case scenario, the Adirondacks have plenty of cheap low priced places to live. It’s remote but not that remote nor that as jarring a change

I mean yeah, I didn’t claim this action was morally or even strategically acceptable, just that it seems consistent with the way past administrations have used the same power.

And that’s kind of a problem. As far as I see, this use of the war powers act is entirely consistent with previous uses. Trumps not wrong for once.

Maybe the part about not bothering to inform Congress because “they’ll see it in the news”.

Our outrage seems to be mainly that he chose poorly, or maybe even that we haven’t been conditioned to agree with it. Iran has been pursuing nuclear weapons for years(decades?) and I certainly agree the world becomes a more dangerous, unstable place as more countries obtain nuclear weapons. Sanctions haven’t been working, but you combine this with Israel’s assassinations and it should be effective at stopping their program.

Of course I don’t know that anyone tried negotiating from a point of respect for their sovereignty nor was this in response to hostilities against our Interests or any urgent threat (that we’re aware of). You can’t just bomb people you disagree with, but this really seems consistent with previous administrations and the only difference is the propaganda war to manipulate support

But he also has a personal 747, all that meme coin, huge profit on sneakers, etc

And don’t forget the superPAC money covering legal and other personal expenses

He’s always been able to afford good enough lawyers to delay any proceedings for years, and he can’t have very many left. Given his open grift and straightforward bribes, monetizing the office, I image he’s finally the billionaire he always claimed to be, so he can afford it

Fantastic! But we need more granularity. What year within that 18-64 range is the crossover where odds turn into our favor! If I’m going to die early, at least I may finally get the advantage before I ho

The can. Because it’s the smallest serving size and I’m otherwise poor at moderation

Although opening it like that looks dangerous.

And is there any medical proof that can stand up to brainworm addled pseudoscience in court ? Would you bet your career and your freedom on that?

I suppose I don’t have any evidence, but think about it a little …

1. Do you really think doctors have the extra time to dedicate an afternoon to doing paperwork? What about your experience with medical offices led you to expect all this free time?
2. Do you really think doctors are deciding a contentious legal issue on their own? Do you understand why hospitals and other corporations even have a legal department?
