Been seeing a lot more people that are aware of/support Henry George. Makes the heart warm.

This seems like an infinite step up from having to be in the office for 60-80 hours a week just to look impressive, while accomplishing little after the 35 hour mark. I would take this lady’s position in a heartbeat.

But when we’re talking antennas, do I need to get a big one that I need to try and get above the tree line, or does it boost signal penetration?

I have a question about how easy the signal is to block. I live in a somewhat mountains, densely forested area. Do devices need to have direct line or sight to communicate? Wanted to set this up as a potential back up communication source for grid outages and keep a device in each car.

They’re working for something better than money. Exposure! Don’t you know working for such a big name will do better things for their career than money! At least, that’s what they tell artists.

That is fair, I would call that a bit of perspective, bit not unfair perspective. Yes, it did take significant disasters to make the mistakes apparent, so who’s to say if anybody would’ve noticed or how much of a problem they would’ve been.

Not a problem. To me, nuclear power is the answer to the mantra of “technology will solve the climate crisis,” and we’ve had it for years, yet we’re too afraid to use it!

Nuclear powerplants are so safe that they’ve only had a handful of (admittedly disastrous and high profile) failures, and have killed less people per watt hour generated than even wind and solar power. Nuclear power is the safest, cleanest, most efficient form of green energy we can get right now. Yes, it can be dangerous if not managed properly. But Fukushima, Chernobyl, and Three Mile Island were not freak accidents. Deliberate mistakes were made that were known at the time and should be used as warnings to keep the industry safe, not as sirens that lead is to swear off nuclear energy.

I don’t understand. Is this a comment on Trump, Cheney, or the average voter?

I’m just saying you don’t want to trade the swamp king for the swamp princess. That was just an example of the things Liz Cheney believes in.

You don’t want Liz Cheney’s help. This isn’t an enemy of my enemy situation, or a lesser of two evils. You’d be trading one bad for a different but equally bad. You want to go back to Iraq and Afghanistan? She’d put us back in Iraq and Afghanistan if she could.

Really early on, with the original castle sets, where all the wall pieces were yellow. I believe the space sets were the first grey bricks.

The LEGO group has always been protective of their brand and nervous about being associated with potentially violent content, turning down a partnership with the Halo games because of that. For years, they didn’t want to make grey bricks because they were afraid kids would use them to build tanks. All this to say, this seems pretty on brand for the LEGO group.

This overuse of the word “blasts” in headlines is just getting confusing and ridiculous. I though this cop just started shooting people, then I realized this story isn’t from America.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance fits this bill, I think. I haven’t played any of the games listed yet, so I can’t compare.

Minecraft Dungeons. I was grinding ancient mob runs.

Killing hundreds of zombies, skeletons, creepers, and Illagers, not so I can save the villagers they wrongly imprisoned, but so I can get that one specific gilded sword.

I dunno, this kind of meta commentary could easily accomplish both, if executed well. Shows that you’re thinking of things in terms of overall social norms and trends, and figuring out how to present that idea in front of a crowd in an approachable way. I still think that the delivery is the most important aspect of this idea, though, as a piece of comedic satire.

Delivery is everything. This is a great idea, but if the person was too socially awkward to nail the timing or tone, I could easily see how this idea could flop.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there is no evidence that anybody has ever named a child la-a. My mom used to tell this story all the time, and I believed her for years that this was a real name until I googled it and read up on it. The name is an old urban legend that may pre date Internet lore.
