The least death could do is take a pull. What a wheel sucker!

I've read several books in the Objectivists library, including Atlas shrugged, the fountainhead, and the virtue of selfishness.

For a certain kind of person, I do think they have value in showing a different ethical/moral framework. To wit, if you have been raised on the principal that you must always sacrifice your own happiness for others, then Onjectivist philosophy is quite novel and can actually be helpful in moving towards a more self-actualized thought mode.

For most others, however, it can turn you into a raging a-hole.

In terms of how tenable the overall principles are in practice, just remember that Rand herself went on social security.

I also believe that student loans are not dischargeable in bankruptcy.

Medicine too.

An instrument in my lab is running jdk 1_8_131....and this is a recent/newish piece of equipment.

Creation of embryos should happen entirely outside the body of the female, followed by decapitation of the male as God intended.

That's pretty much it. There was a WSJ article about this very thing: frequent flyer miles are more based on spending with the airline CC then by actually flying.

Ha ha. Yes of course. Corrected.

Windows is like the corner prostitute: pay some money, usually get what you want although not the best, occasionally get some horrible disease

Linux is like the sweet SO: has its quirks but you love them for it. let's you grow in your skills but that can be challenging at times. Surprises you in good and bad ways.

Edit: for grammar

Can confirm that with pihole you still get these. I browse with vanilla chrome on my phone at home and use a pihole, and I get these messages.

Hey hey momma said the way you move, gonna make you shake, gonna make you groove.

Iambic (some-number)-ter FTW

Same junk, different year. Remember Carter vs. Reagan and the delay of release of the Iranian hostages to discredit Carter? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Rhode Island Red or a hybrid thereof (e.g. Golden Comet).

Great egg layers (the hens of course, not the roo pictured) and very mild mannered.

Steve Jackson games FTW. That mofo even predicted 9/11.

"But if there was a third option with any chances of winning, things would look different anyway."

Aye, there's the rub.

Give a man a fire and he is warm for a day.

Set a man on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life.

Surely you overestimate their chances.

I bought my Tesla 4 years ago before EM went full douche mode. I actually quite like the car but would not buy one these days on account of him.

Similar in principle to carbon emissions: yeah, people individually have a carbon footprint, but corporations and industrial activities dwarf that.

Looks like I have a fun Saturday project. Thanks!

You haven't installed Linux until you've done it in the original Klingon.

He did do one on world war II regarding the history and rise of the Japanese empire. Like all of his podcast, is very well done.

Fair enough, mate.

Using the touch screen as a pain, for sure. However, nearly all commands on the touch screen can be accessed via voice commands from a button on the steering wheel. In practice, the need to use the touch screen while driving (other than to monitor your speed and cruise control settings) is practically zero.

The voice commands work as well as anything. It's much easier to push the roller button on the steering wheel and say "turn on defroster" than to manipulate controls (either on a touch screen or non-touch screen interface)

You Joke, that but that was literally the approach of TFG when it came to covid testing.

Reminding me of corrupted .mdb files means I need more alcohol tonight to pacify the demons in my head

Looking good! Enjoy it,

Hoping he gets the stage!

OMG I feel old.

Also regret the money I spent buying Sun stock in the late 90s.

GOP: we've investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong.

Nothing if not predictable.

So much this.

The killer bees certainly loved up to their nickname...swarming he podium on this stage!

Enjoyed watching the race and seeing Baltimore in a good light. Lived there for 5 years and was hoping they would go through my old neighborhood....but alas no luck.. a little too close to Greenmount I guess lol.

I always enjoyed cycling out in the countryside. Baltimore is great in that you can live in the city but be out in beautiful roads along horse farms in 15 minutes.

When to fork a child.

There is an old Behind the Bastards pod on Manafort that's a good listen. Not to ruin the story but ..he is a Bastard.

Very nice. Unfortunately in Windows so no iptables for me. Nice to know this is possible...may have to see if I can do this with vbox or inside WSL.

I actually like it, but overall probably depends on the type of gravel you're going through. But I tend to like wet and sloppy conditions overall. The only thing I don't like is the grit being thrown up in my eyes. That gets a little tiresome.

Stupid. Love girmay..hope this gets worked out in time for him and his country men to compete.
