Ugh sorry for "can'tn", I obviously meant "can't"

I can'tn help but feel like I've been yelling into echochambers for the last 1.5 decades. Let's set up some nuke plants up near Hudson Bay, where zoning is "tricky" but with recent govt's they might find some ability to authorize some new setups. Any locals who need power can take it at a better price than previous authorities, anyone else can either pull it down lines to where they want it, or pull Hydrogen ("green" or otherwise) down train lines to where the market wants it. This would of course require rating agreements (to get investors to want in on the projects on a long-term basis), or price assurances (to win over locals in approval processes), and/or lies. Lies are cheapest.

Not quite FTFY, but to extend the point... some people are OK with rubbery bang-products (not my thing, but they sell like mad). Should those people hold out for "real sex" or be content with masturbation?

I know the obvious retort is "desire to eat meat isn't anything like desire to have sex with a human because ...", but I'd argue that's an entirely personal and subjective viewpoint, and attempts to treat the topic "purely objectively" run into headaches when they ignore this..

He's not using 'sigma' purely mathematically, this term also has meaning in finance. Just about all the greeks do. A good starting point, though I'd suggest you click few some related links from the page for background/context if you've got time: https://www.investopedia.com/t...

I get your point, but not all of LA is like that. I'm currently stationed short-term in the Arts District, and much of this neighborhood is pretty much empty much of the day, I frequently go 2-3 blocks without passing anyone else. Many people around here are going about without masks, but in general when I'm passing someone on the sidewalk, one of us will go a few feet out into the road (yeah, I know, likely higher risk than the 'rona). That being said, I've mostly given up on Little Tokyo (too crowded) and Downtown (the folks smoking meth on the streets downtown don't wear masks _and_ don't socially distance... tsk tsk).

You linked to an FBI document about _arrests_, not commissions of crime. Pro-tip, Central-Park Karen wasn't threatening what she did "for no reason", she was doing it because historically this can lead to an arrest.

If arrests of the type avoided due to the presence of a cell phone video exist, are you sure the rest of the numbers cited are also clear of any such inflated cases?

Are you kidding? If DT offered an apology that self deprecating and direct, I could imagine lots of car accidents and dropped dishes as people squinted, turned their heads sideways, and uttered confused and somewhat fearful "whaaaat is happening?"s.

I'd suggest any nerd-types who may be around look into the SW stack and donation model of podcasts like No Agenda ( http://www.noagendashow.com/ - sorry not feeling like dealing w/HTML right now).

Open-source software distributing a system of podcasts funded by producer donations (if you contribute, you care, and can get some minor input into the show, hence "producers"). Where I struggle is "how to get a normal person to understand that this is much better than the censored (self- or otherwise) drivel they'll see promoted basically everywhere"...

Great, another source of plastic which can't realistically be separated from the cardboard it's intended to be sold with. So we can... send it to our local recycler and _pray_ they can separate these for further processing, or just throw it out (ideally in some sort of landfill with "normal outdoor conditions") and call it a win?

It seems to me the most realistic use-case for this is that they _intend_ it to be tossed out in the woods, and are trying to create a product that will promise to go away under those conditions.

(to clarify before someone else points out the gaps between that and the GP....)

All credentials hold _some_ validity, but it's also basically inarguable that for some getting any credential/speciality/etc. will be easier than for others. I had parents in sales who gifted me laptops that IT forgot about, but nobody "technical" in my family to give me a leg-up on starting a server business at 15. I worked hard for my comp-sci degree, not having used the internet outside of a library until I got on campus 8/2001 Some folks have more resources, and walked through networking/etc. classes without effort. They finished school knowing more, practically than me, about much of those areas where they entered with 8 years of curiosity-filled knowledge, therefore for a networking concentration I'd argue their credentials _should_ be more valuable than mine, but aren't. I can't see how the piece of paper that says "we both finished" lets me claim to be as knowledgeable with someone with 3x my real-world experience. Caucasian was a cheap shot, as that's not a credential at all. I had a point to make there, but at this point don't know exactly what it was. "retracted"

President trump is caucasian, and spent time in New Jersey. He, and I, therefore... oh, fuck... that's not how that works.

Sorry, feeling argumentative. Let me try..

"Oh come on you know there's 1 moon and 5000 people worked on that project but there are 100000 criminals so you're saying we need 500000000 agents right? OK!"

To some "you're right", but I'd argue to those folks they kinda lost when Marconi and his infernal town-invading info-carrying waves were legalized

I read that, and immediately jumped to "jeez this guy's suggesting we stop having kids?"...

True Fact

Every time a developer makes an open-source code commit, somewhere a baby starts crying.
