It seems like there should be a way to short it, but I can't figure out how.

This is what that 'this' in that comment meant: "Sincere therefore was see that this was meant by that, in the intention of those wherefores, we therefore conclude that this 'it' of that/this confusion is the unironically accidentally indicated epitome thereof.

I'm betting they'll contract out to SpaceX for the launching to Mars. It makes sense to give a networking contract to the company adjacent to Amazon.

I'll be honest, I'm a little jealous. Setting up interplanetary networks would be a really fun project.

Blue Origin has been making progress. They now have a heavy lift rocket in operation.

The launch sequence is unexpectedly beautiful.

LOL with that kind of personality I can't imagine why you don't like pair programming. Agile morning standup must be torture for you.

Pair programming in the modern era can actually give your programmers a massive speed boost, because they aren't spending half their time on the phone. It's like a fidget spinner but effective.

What's a yob

He delivered on their primary agenda: he changed the court ruling on abortion.

A lot of evangelical Christians were single-issue voters, because they view abortion as baby killing. I admit if I started from that premise, I would also consider it an extremely important issue, so I can empathize with these people even if I don't sympathize with them or agree.

There are more than zero guardrails, it's part of 6th grade education in America. https://avalon.law.yale.edu/18...

lol they want everyone to be their own sovereign state, where your vote is that you can leave.

Blame isn't a useful concept in the real world (as opposed to the legal world). It's more practical to focus on solving the problem.

It's a fact that some if 5% of the people switched their votes, Trump wouldn't have been elected. It's my opinion that Harris sucked royally. She had difficulty taking on even the responsibilities spoon-fed to her as VP. She couldn't articulate a coherent position.

I don't really understand what you are trying to say.

Soviet Russia made a reasonable attempt of it, they had elections and such. In the end, they voted to end the march towards communism.

The real difficulty is that capitalism is poorly defined. I don't usually use the term (preferring "free markets" or "financing" as more precise, depending on the situation), but in this situation I was citing the opinion of people who have poorly thought out ideas, so they use the word.

No, Obama was better than his predecessor without question.

Australia has ranked voting, which seems like a good idea but it didn't really solve the problem.

The problem is that both parties are full of sycophants, hanger-ons, leaches, and rent-seekers. The problem won't be solved as long as voters generally don't realize that. Currently, no more than 10% of the public realizes that.

WTF are you talking about? Who are these people that want to try something other than Democracy? They are all Russian or Chinese.

There are plenty of people tired of capitalism, but no one wants to move on from Democracy. Kim jong Un wants to move on from Democracy.

Smart.
