Probably, but that's a completely different organization.

FYI, they've had things on Github for a while. Just maybe not under the NSA name.

I hate to burst your bubble, but Democrats aren't going to take back Congress in 2018. Hell, Trump will probably be re-elected in 2020. And I am most emphatically not saying that because that's what I want. I hate Trump and the Republican party with a purple passion you cannot measure.

But the sad fact is that collectively, American voters are dumb as dirt. I mean, we're really, really stupid. Sure, there are a lot of good, smart people out there, but not nearly as many as idiots. I used to be hopeful and optimistic, but the 2016 election irrevocably changed that. We had a man running who literally said that he could get away with anything, including sexual assault, and who was a cultural icon of the greed and excess of our most decadent decade of greed and excess. People lined up in droves to vote for him.

And on the left? We still have a contingent of people, our own version of the Tea Party, who insist that Hillary Clinton is "just as bad," embracing weird conspiracy theories posited by the crazy branch of the right-wing, such as her "rigging" the primaries or deleting thousands of incriminating emails, things there has never been any evidence of her doing.

Some people (including Clinton herself) chalk all of these woes up to misogyny or Russian interference. Yeah, that had some impact. But personally, I chalk it up to a more basic truth: We Americans are collectively as stupid as they come. While most of the world praises intelligence and experience, we have an active disdain for it. When someone excels at something, we look for ways to take them down a peg because they're "elitist." Instead, we bow to the cult of Trump, where you don't have to be smart, motivated, and have a proven track record of getting worthwhile things done. You just have to have a larger-than-life personality and willing to say literally anything, even if it contradicts something you said two minutes ago. We'd prefer electing someone who's openly lying to our face because the person who's telling the truth must be hiding something nefarious.

I know, you're probably thinking that now that Trump has steered our boat straight down shit creek, people are finally waking up. I'll remind you that just a week ago, the people of Montana elected a man who literally physically and deliberately harmed another person because he was "sick and tired" of being asked questions about health care, the most important domestic issue facing America today. We pay lip service to teaching our kids to play nice, share, and be good people, but then we turn right around and reward people like Gianforte with being elected to what used to be an esteemed office. Which lesson do you think they're learning?

And before that, when Democrats lost a mayoral election in Omaha, Nebraska, the Sandersesque contingent came out of the woodwork yet again to point fingers at the national Democratic party for somehow failing to win the seat, even though that election was much closer than the one four years ago. And why? Because the DNC leadership criticized the Democratic candidate for being anti-abortion. Gasp! Democrats had the audacity to vocally support women's rights? No wonder they lost!

I always get amused at people who want term limits for Congresspeople, or who say things like, "Throw them all out!" What exactly makes you think that anything would be any different? I mean, the idiots in Kentucky who keep electing Mitch McConnell, the man who plainly stated that his number one political goal was to make Barack Obama a one-term president (and, incidentally, who spectacularly failed at even that number one goal) would just find some other jackass to line up behind in the following election. Maybe even someone worse.

So yeah, I'd like to think that Democrats are going to make a resurgence in 2018. I'd like to think that 2020 will see a wave of blue overtake the country and finally sweep out the assholes and villains of the right-wing that have been holding this country back for decades. I can't help but roll my eyes when I see pundits from the left on television acting all smug, like this is the final straw that will push people to finally get active and make a change for the better.

But the reality is that I'm glad that I don't have any kids, because we are currently on a course straight to hell and I just don't see anything changing anytime soon. It makes me slightly content knowing that when I check out, I'm not leaving behind progeny to suffer the fruits of our folly, to have to live through what's coming thanks to our gross stupidity and incompetence today. If you do have kids, well, that sucks. And if you ARE a kid or young adult, I wish I had some good news or advice. I'll just say that I am so, so sorry for what we've done to you. I hope you're a lot smarter than we are, because even our luminaries haven't been able to tackle this issue of not just climate change, but rampant stupidity that sits back and cheers it on.

I don't know anything about seashells but I knitted a really nice sweater yesterday.

That's only four red rupees. It's rather easy to get even with the wooden sword.

What are we supposed to do with 40 cents?

Sure it does. The real problem is with electric cars in Australian, where you have to invert the phase.

It's probably a daily drive for some people, a weekly drive for others, a monthly drive for a few, etc.

I'm not anti-electric by any mean, but we do have to admit that we have to drive a lot between major cities.

Me? I could probably charge an electric car with a small 50km range only once a week and be more than okay. But I'm not going to pay 20K$+ for such a car.

I was thinking of the distance between, say, Montréal and Québec city, or Montréal and Ottawa, etc.

But as soon as you get out of one of those urban center, you probably need to drive 2~4 hours to get to another urban center.

A good, real Metroid game. None of this "Federation Force" stuff.

I've heard there's going to be a lot of jobs available on the moon and Mars.
