I was vacuuming and accidentally pulled the cord on a 3 month uptime.

A lot of food tastes the best a short time before it spoils.

Fresh beef tastes good. One day old beef tastes like chewing on a rubber piece. Stored at the right temperature in a low moisture atmosphere for 4 weeks it turns into exclusive dry aged beef. One more week and it’s spoiled.

Troll grade: C-.

Yes I very much do think they care. The CIA would say something like “we belive that it’s 52% likely that protests would resume” and pentagon would say that “it would use up this many bombs, casualties would be in the range of x per week.” This is their job, they are not politically appointed, they are well funded and as Maduro kidnapping shows they are reasonably good at what they do.

I’m certain every president would take the same action based on some number given by CIA and Pentagon and their personal risk apetite. Maybe Biden would have required 70% and 1 casuality while Trump would accept 40% and 10, we don’t know. But every one of them would have tried at some risk/reward ratio.

Before be dropped the first bomb: What did US intelligence service tell him the odds of reigniting the protests from January was?

The decision to start the war must be judged from what was known before it started.

This is when I repeat the mantra “I’m paid by the hour” 25 times.

Any country that depends on Taiwanese semiconductors must consider China a strategic threat due to the ability to cause intolerable economic harm.

This includes the usual high tech countries but even the poorest countries have smartphones and mobile networks that would start to break down soon after supplies dry up.

CPU limited games tend to be faster on Linux even with proton/ wine.

I’ve not tested any GPU limited games.

I pretend that the button does a “cha ching” sound every time I press it. I’m paid the same hourly rate for doing my job or dismissing microsoft dialog buttons.

Wherever you land on a 1-10 scale of attractiveness you’ll get about +2 to +3 if you’re funny.

Giving a minority different treatment will cause resentment in the majority. Anything from a scoff because they don’t get told off for telling a mean joke about you to a lifelong maga supporter if you think you did not get a certain job because of affirmative action.

I don’t think anyone is better off in a more polarised society.

Is it okay to make a joke about keeping queers on a leash during straight events?

Repeating what the previous poster said with your own words may have been something your teacher made you do. It has little value beyond improving your language skills.

Mindlessly criticising something and making it about your own pet “war”

I did.

Work + commute + lunch 9 hours. Sleep 8 hours.

Work out about one hour lifting weights or grocery store + meal prep on rest days.

1 hours spent on breakfast, shower, dinner etc.

Total 19 hours which left me with 5 for hobbies on weekdays. Laundry, cleaning, etc was done an hour or two on Saturday.

How to legally discriminate against anyone above the age of 40?

If every place that tried communism ended up with killing a large percentage of their own population then it does not matter if it’s in the doctrine or not.

There is no doubt that nazis are bad. And my grandma had to flee the commies invading and bombing the crap out of her home. Now you say that commies are bad.

My main criticism is that this name calling just takes the level of the debate to a stupider level. It’s like the left is starting to bark just like Trump.

You say communists are bad.
