Grassroots. Not Routs.
They should get their lawyer on that.
Great point! They do vary wildly by style and subject matter, while all being masterful IMHO. Incredible talent.
I mean, fair. All great books!
The Culture by Ian M. Banks. It's a little difficult to approach, but an incredible exploration of Sci-Fi, humanity, AI, and life in general. Unlike a lot of other great Sci-Fi (like The Expanse, which I also highly recommend) it's gritty, but overall The Culture is a hopeful and optimistic take on the progress of humanity and technology.
The best books are The Player of Games, Look to Windward, and Excession.
Depending on how you're feeling, I think you can skip The State of the Art, Matter, and Inversions, though they're worth an eventual read. They're just less connected to the main Culture story.
It's a series that truly changed me and my perspective on life.
I can promise you it isn't the engineers fucking up Boeing. It's the old macdonald-douglas management / exec team.
Which might make an even better comedy honestly.
Different caller, same question.
The BSDs I've used are extremely well documented and cohesive. No basic tools or functions are missing and everything works very simply and together as a whole. The tooling they put forward in the 2000s like DTrace, ZFS, jails, bhyve, were simply unmatched for their capabilities at the time. Having all those tools on a simple and fast OS at the time felt like living in the future.
At the same time, BSD is severely lacking in gaming, graphics performance, compatibility with modern ecosystems, ease of use for less technical users, and generally seems to have stagnated in the last 10-15 or so years. Some chalk that up to leadership, some to the license / corporate interests largely moving to Linux, who knows. But these days I use Linux and while I miss the halcyon days of BSD, I wouldn't switch back.
I stand with my (forever) baby hippo Fiona.
No, I appreciate it! Couldn't find a complete gif that didn't look thoroughly nuked.
I like it being an elected position, rather than the police or local government appointing someone. That way if someone is egregiously against the grain of their community the community can act.
However, like so many elected positions, there should be real minimum qualifications to get on the ballot, like a 4 year degree or equivalent experience in a related field, a neutral third party psych eval, etc.
Max, what's wrong? You've hardly touched your jar.
It's because instead of using logic to reason, they use emotion: usually outrage, fear, uncertainty, anger, distrust. All while of course projecting the 'overly emotional and illogical' stamp onto "bleeding heart liberals".
Caps conveys what their audience pays attention to.
I hate spiders, know thine enemy I guess.
Top one is an Australian huntsmen. Bottom one looks like an orb weaver of some kind.
That was such a wild time with a new scandal or two every morning. I don't blame anyone for forgetting.
I hope to God I don't ever have to explain to my son or daughter how Trump got elected a second time.
He withheld aid from the president of Puerto Rico. Which... Was him.
Two spider pictures in the article, but neither depict a Fen Raft Spider. Shameful excuse for journalism.
Not here in Minnesota. Thanks Mr. Walz!
To attack a narcissist, you need to attack the cracks in the reality they paint for themselves.
It just so happens that as someone who has been an enthusiastic and professional grade debater for 40+ years, Harris also knew exactly how to do this without getting his mud on herself, and she knew to do it just as he was hoping to hit his stride.
It was great to watch. So many politicians from so many walks of life have been completely humiliated by Trump's ridiculous persona. He's so inflammatory, so full of lies, and so narcissistic professional politicians have been reduced to flinging his poo back at him. Instead Harris made him wallow in it.
You know that famous Texas saying: "Don't tread on me, unless you're a christofacist, then HARDER."
