I wonder if you know something I don't.

You should dig up a 2011 Associated Press article about tritium leaks at nuclear plants across the country.
Or maybe read about the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant which was so plagued by problems that it was finally shut down.

Heck, a quick google search for 'NRC regulatory capture' will kick back plenty of examples that you can use to reevaluate your position.

Well, now I'm pretty sure you don't know what you're talking about.
The safety record is public, go look at it.
The NRC has a shit list of the worst plants that it publishes biannually.

Hell, there have been 2 nuclear plants that SCRAMed recently.
One on Christmas and the other last week, during the big north east blizzard.

I wonder what your criteria is for "unsound"
Do we have to have another 3-Mile Island accident?

This isn't a retroactive tax.
There's no ex post facto involved.

You see, the trick is that technically, all the money held overseas is deferred income.
The IRS said "you don't have to pay your taxes until you bring the money back to US shores."
The corporations said "Cool, we'll bring it back. No really, we will. But how about we pay you less when we bring it back?"

As a result, the incentives for repatriating foreign profits are completely upside down and backwards.
It makes far more sense to dodge US corporate taxes and invest the money overseas.

It sounds like your problem is with the quality of the new equilibrium, not with the principle.

The best kind of correct is technically correct!

All the mice I've taken apart have one of several setups:
1. click pressure is controlled by a 'spring' inside a microswitch
2. click pressure is controlled by a tactile switch that is soldered to the PCB
3. click pressure is controlled by a spring that supports the scroll wheel axis or the full assembly

As best as I can tell, your G700s' scroll wheel has... 2 and 3.
You can see it here at 6 minutes into the video.
The tactile switch is the gold disk on the left of the screen, with two springs on each side of it.

You could try replacing those springs with weaker ones.
And/or you could desolder the tactile switch and replace it with one that requires less force to operate.

If it's hardware, there's no reason you should be permanently stuck with some focus group's middle of the road choice.
/tactile switches cost pocket change
//microswitches are expensive when ordered as single pieces, so find a place that already has a thousand of them.

I dismiss this and laugh because you think you can secure WordPress.

If you're using WordPress for clients, you better budget in the time you/they will spend upgrading WordPress to fix its latest security vulnerabilities.

Not just any drug company, a drug company that manufactures antibiotics.

Not surprisingly, a company with "Sino" in its name has manufacturing facilities in Asia (India and China specifically).

The technology already exists to crank up COAX cable speeds to 1Gbit.
Docsis 3.1 is allegedly going to be 10/1 Gbit capable, though it will depend on the quality of the COAX to your home.
The only catch is that the hardware isn't ready yet, it's still being designed and built

They've been at it since 2013.
One of their original shows just won Best TV and Best Actor at the Golden Globes.

The correct answer to that question is "Yes, I support dictators and so do you."
Like, Rumsfeld once shook Saddam's hand because he was a valued ally in the region.

Even a cursory glance at the USA's current list of allies in Africa and Eastern Europe/Central Asia makes our support of dictators readily apparent. The list gets longer if you include Middle Eastern monarchies as de facto dictatorships.

Before marking this down as a problem for China, you'd have to factor in the economic benefits of keeping the Yuan mostly pegged to the dollar.

If the Yuan really floated free, China's exports would get get much more expensive and their status as a manufacturing hub could evaporate.

Low voter turnout breaks Democracy.
There are parts of the country with 1% or less voter turnout for primary elections.
This effectively means that only the most partisan candidates get onto the ballots.

If you don't see how that's a problem, you probably haven't been paying attention.

That should be "grammar Nazis."

I was going to moderate, but I think a direct reply will be more productive.

The problem with this Constitutional argument is that it ignores history.
Both before and after the Constitution + Bill of Rights, there were restrictions on gun ownership and carrying.
These were restriction that the Founding Fathers did not find onerous, burdensome, or illegal.

The current school of purist 2nd Amendment ideology is an extremely modern one, showing up only in the last 40~50 years.
Feel free to educate yourself. Even the NRA used to support gun laws that they now claim are unconstitutional.

We could create new or strengthen existing laws about revolving doors in order to return bureaucrats to their role as non-partisan cogs in the machine of governance.

The entire concept of western bureaucracy was a direct response to previous western systems of government where nepotism and cronyism caused endemic incompetence and corruption.

In contrast, the Chinese had a (mostly) meritocratic bureaucracy for ~1000 years before it became firmly embedded in any Western Government. If you want to go back to the roots, about 5,500 years ago, the Sumerians invented writing so that they could manage their nascent bureaucracy. Within a few hundred years, the Ancient Egyptians also had a solid bureaucracy that existed in some form or another for ~3,000 years.

If our bureaucracy is going poorly, it's because we're ignoring lessons of the past, not because there's anything inherently wrong with bureaucratic structures (although Marx would argue that point).
