"We used to make slow cable, now we just make slow."

Roughly 25% are going to think the gov't is rigged and out to get them no matter what. Can't do zero just because nuts exist.

AIPAC has deep pockets and they ain't afraid to use them.

...in case the tinted Tribble-top breaks it.

Why would the red states want to keep us "faggy blue-haired commie woke-ster" states?

Torture? Okay, you have a point there. Troglodytes miss that Salem Trials stuff.

The inbred ones gallop or fly on their own.

The secret to peace, I didn't mean growth.

True, but Buddhists have a much better overall track record than Christians and Muslims. The secret is focusing on fixing yourself instead of others. Busybodies Break Blissful Balance.

The real question is will there be Civil War 2, or will both sides agree to split without a full conflict? Almost half the North felt they should have let the South go back then, seeing them as stubborn trouble-makers, and that looks about right to me.

> leaving for the same reason young people are leaving the amish world.

Most Amish youth stay, actually. It's why the Amish population is quickly expanding. They learned from the Catholics: if you can't recruit because your cult is too culty, then perform mass mitosis. However, they face multiple genetic diseases due to inbreeding.

IF they had merged, they'd probably spread their shittiness to the other side and kill it also, like what McDonnell Douglass's bean counters did to Boeing engineering.

I'm not convinced a warning on a hair dryer is comparable to a medical-related disclaimer. We ignore hair-drying warnings because they are usually obvious to any adult. If somebody sees a message about a medical-related product or recommendation they are interested in, the disclaimer is likely something they'd be curious to see before going further. If it's from an outlier doctor, most would want to know.

All DOM-based GUI kits suck rotting eggs because DOM is ill suited for GUI's and a billion wrappers can't fix it.

Long hours might work for brick-laying, but not for anything that requires intellectual thought. Most people I know agree that one's brain turns to mush after working too long without a break[1]. There may be exceptions, but don't bet a biz on exceptions because you box yourself in.

I agree there is often repetitious work in IT, but it's usually because of poor/mismatched tools, poor libraries/frameworks, and/or poor standards[2]. Too many chase IT fads.

Maybe focus on fixing the latter instead of working people to the bone? You'll be more popular also.

[1] Now that I'm older, my eyes also give out when overused. When fatigued they take longer to focus both in terms of distance and in stereo triangulation. They start "wobbling" in all dimensions.

[2] Web inherently sucks for plane-jane CRUD, and I stand by that. No framework can remove/hide its inherent flaws. Humans are doing CRUD wrong. HTML wasn't made for CRUD and retrofitting causes e-hemorrhoids.
