That car manufactures and engineers are really good at what they do and protecting passengers, obviously

Surely better than a Liz Truss could /rimshot I'm in town all week folks

You have an anecdote, barely a data point. Proof, sir, that is not.

If there is no time, then what does it mean to move?

You are entirely correct sir. Thank you for helping me to see my error

It’s embedded into the software platform itself (which is a bit like a SaaS offering used by thousands and thousands of sites) and is not a configurable option / is not removable by admins of this local instance here.

I’d also like to see an answer to your question of the OP, but they didn’t specify New York City vs the entire state of New York, and I can guarantee you New York grounds are used by farmers… lots, and lots, and lots of farmers… kinda like Vermont, but bigger.

Again, context matters. For the person suffering and genuinely ready for an end, thinking of hospice patients and elderly with no chance of improvement, not “wanting to be here today” is an entirely legitimate and valid desire and success to them very well could be termination of life. Just bc you think success is continued living doesn’t mean they must agree, nor does it make their definition of success any less valid or relevant.

Well, it was the season finale of Insurrection. Or how effectively she was working with leader Mitch McConnell and VP Mike Pence when it really mattered. No politics, just doing what needed doing.

The definition of success is embedded in the objective. it’s context dependent. If I’m thirsty, success is getting a drink of water. If I’m driving down the highway and need to poop, success is finding a place to do it outside the car and not in my pants. If you’re a new mother, sometimes success is getting the baby to stay asleep for more than 20 minutes at a time. Sometimes success is just taking that next breath or that next step. It depends.

Congress subpoenaed Trump in the hearing today. He’s a dangerous, deranged criminal and will surely ignore it. They also showed that at as early as July 2020 Trump was already saying he’d deny the election result. There we’re also lots of Secret Service documents confirming they were aware of and readying for violence at the Capitol as early as 2 weeks before the 6th. And they reinforced how many people were begging and pleading with him to do something and tell the crowd to leave which he refused to do for hours.

There are ways to reward chores without money, and likewise there are ways to reward behaviors that aren’t chores. For example, when my oldest displays an unsolicited act of kindness or does something helpful out of the blue for their sibling, I’ll often toss over a few bucks to do with as they please. The goal of the reward is to drive future behavior. We can choose which behaviors to reward in pursuit of that end. To the OP, amount also depends upon where one lives and how wealthy or how desperately enmeshed in poverty they are. For millions, the very idea of an allowance is itself a luxury.

I’ve been trying to wrap my brain around whether a coup in Russia would improve or worsen the current conditions out in the theater. Would Putin’s replacement, someone who’d make Machiavelli look like Mother Teresa by comparison for having planned and pulled off such a thing… be even worse.

Depends on how hard they work / what they do to earn it

They usually mean, “Go away you moron reporter. We’re not dumb enough to tell our enemy what we’re actually planning here on your pathetic little show.”

David Petraeus suggested this morning that smaller weapons used on more symbolic targets (like Zalinskys home town or some equivalent of Ukraines attack on Kerch bridge, for example) would have the same intended effect without the higher yields nor risk presented to your own troops with a nuclear deployment to the front lines.

Fell, split, stack. There’s a reason this is how it’s been done for centuries. Air flow across inner fibers that have been exposed will result in fastest results (absent some kiln drying process)

Happened again today:

Thanks for this link, btw. It seems our bodies do the same thing with our telomeres that I do when I cut a cord which is later likely to fray: I seal it or coat it with wax or somehow melt the threads together to prevent further deterioration.

And kids also sometimes see unicorns and dragons in the clouds. Doesn't mean unicorns and dragons are going to fly down into my neighborhood and start pooping in my yard this evening.

Also the MORE likely they are to realize their current commands from corrupt commanders are sinister shit… to decide NOT to kill their Ukrainian cousins for old man Putins honor… and to instead flip that same free gun the government just handed them so they’re pointing back on the Russian leaders. You know, exactly like they did back in the First World War with the Russian Revolution of 1917. They prefer being called Meta now https://www.pbs.org/video/us-vs-them-2t0c0s/
