As someone with hair loss: it also protects surprisingly well from bumps and scrapes, as well as being warmer than you’d think!

Look, I got no beef with someone who can’t spell “emotional intelligence”. My problem is with people who refuse to learn it

What is it that keeps the underground pockets of helium in place, anyway? Just craptons of stone?

It’s not about anyone else caring.

It’s about Trump caring.

There’s a lot of ways of expressing unrest, and many of them are aimed at expressing a widespread lack of support for the regime. This hits them in their own support base, and is a big part of why they push back so hard on them.

Trump is a massive narcissist, that’s why he’s getting his signature on the cash in the first place. To someone like that, the idea that something so rewarding for him could be “perverted” like this, with the whole world seeing just what people really think of him, is a nightmare! And that’s the point - to keep reminding him of just how unpopular he is, and keep him reactive instead of proactive.

so much as it is a cultural meme that people just thoughtlessly parrot.

Honestly, I think that’s a big part of how language naturally evolves

At this point, the only thing I have Windows around for is VR. Every non-VR game I have runs swimmingly (often better!) on the Linux partition, but VR still struggles to keep up…

But doctor… I am the parent.

Seriously, half the stuff that we print is coloring pages.

They’re both quoting a (fictional?) author

I dunno, in this case the amateur happens to be able to absorb a whole lotta hits too - they can fail over and over while waiting for you to slip.

Maybe… More complicated limbs struck me as more prone to failure than rotors, and more expensive to maintain and replace

I’m remembering the old duelist’s adage, that the worst opponent to have is an amateur - because you have no idea what they’ll try

So I’m not as caught up in the current state of robotics as I’d like… The article talks about these being used to patrol, do safety inspections, and the like.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper to replace each of these with a dozen quadrocopter drones?

To my knowledge, there is very little research at all - the programs that would look into whether this might protect or endanger children struggle to get funded, because it’s icky.

In addition to the donated hair lacking DNA, they can only do DNA matching against samples they already have or could legally acquire (generally with a warrant).

So if she’s not otherwise in their system or already a suspect, she should be in the clear!

Eh, that seems to suggest it’s entertainment for or about misers, rather than misery

There’s flattering photos of him?

More seriously, what photos is he even objecting to?

Crossed my mind, but felt a little too close to what they’d do.

Figured going after their money sources with this might be more effective for them, anyway

Start with the elected officials who passed this, and their local donors!

I’m assuming each challenge needs resolved separately, right?

Wait… It just verifies the age of whoever initially activated the device? Which might predate the bill, implying a long activation time?

Do the authors of this bill even live with children? Cuz they sure aren’t actually dealing with their device usage
