See what? I don't get it.

Big houses kinda suck in many ways. Bigger HVAC system to replace. Bigger roof. More flooring. More paint. More cabinets. More plumbing fixtures. Bigger tax bill. Bigger utility bills. All of that means more time and many to maintain or replace.

Hmm. I have used HAproxy a lot. I doubt that is the issue. If other instances are working fine, my guess it is on their end.

Tax the shit out of AI and crypto currency data centers. Use the proceeds on ending car dependency and various forms of carbon sequestration. Tax the shit out of corporations that have certain occupations commute to a physical office. Tax the shit out of certain goods transported on ships burning bunker oil. Highly specialized stuff like computer processors that aren't large or heavy can get a pass. You all get the idea.

I've said it for decades at this point, but we really need to add philosophy to our standard curriculum;

YES!!! I've been saying it too! I'd leave out metaphysics other than an introduction to what it is with an example or two. We are seriously lacking in epistemology. I would focus it mainly on epistemology and ethics though.

speaking on condition of anonymity.

Meaning there is a good chance this information is classified because it lets Russia know to expect anti-personnel mines, which helps their war effort.

Don't forget R Kelly

Trolls like you?

Unfortunately, social media is highly influencial of public opinion, so it is a civic responsibility that those with life experience and expertise with things need to engage in. Failure to do so effectively is rolling over for MAGA Nazis 2.0.

We need to be better at rhetoric and debate. Cicero wrote over 2 millenia ago about the power of eloquence.

"Wisdom without eloquence does too little for the good of communities, but eloquence without wisdom is, in most instances, extremely harmful and never beneficial. If, then, anyone exerts all of his energies in the practice of oratory to the neglect of the highest and most honorable pursuits of reason and moral conduct, he is reared as a citizen useless to himself and harmful to his country; but the person who arms himself with eloquence in such a way that enables him not to assault the interest of his country, but rather assist them, this man, in my opinion, will be a citizen most helpful and most devoted both to his own interests and those of the public.”

In recent years, the unwise have weaponized eloquence. The wise among us have failed spectacularly at understanding the importance and power of persuasion.

So what is your solution be since Gaza is so important to you? Do you want to be absolved of your voting decision?

Those are the things you've gone to bat for, that is the realized vision of the Biden-Harris regime.

There's a difference between making the best of a bad situation and going to bat for it. Your choices were someone who there is a chance of reigning in Israel or someone that told them to do whatever they want with weapons we send. The latter is obviously a bad choice unless you agree with Israel.

He is being too nice. He needs to get a lawyer and sue that shitty company for harassment and whatever else.

ETA: The US isn't overly litigious. We are under litigious if anything.

Car dependency and sugar. That is all.

Well, to all the folks arguing with me on how voting for Harris was bad because of Gaza: CONGRATULATIONS! You REALLY made a point there. The Palestinians had a chance under Harris. Instead of voting for a chance for the Palestinians, you did nothing or voted for genocide. You did it from the other side of the world, where you won't have to suffer the consequences.

There aren't good replacements for fossil fuels for military applications. The same thing with aviation. This means we need to phase out everything that has suitable replacements ASAP to give us time to figure out these more difficult uses.

Some militaries say publishing details of their oil and gas consumption could give adversaries insight into their operations.

This is why. Knowing supply requirements helps enemies plan their operations.

At least the US Navy has several nuclear powered vessels and the US DoD acknowledge that climate change is a real problem.

A lot weren't even in the military.

The vast majority were, at least recent ones.

He is only a Major in the national guard. WAY under qualified. This is a job for a general officer. Seasoned O6 at the bare minimum

Mad at her for what? Having little power as VP? Being out on the ballot? Even if she said no, the Dem party leadership would just have to quickly push someone in the same manner. All of the excuses are either complete bullshit or Trump would be worse. So stupid....

I am highly regarded there.
