Yes, kale in salads.

Primary purpose is to earn brownie points with my wife.

Win, Win!

In industry, layers of management hierarchy separate centralized executives from the work, frequently (always?) causing inefficiency.

Worse, it also insulates those executives from accountability for their actions.

Rick Scott is a perfect example, and there are so many others...

Race, origin, color, etc. absolutely *should* be irrelevant.

The sad fact is that these irrelevancies are used by mediocre weaklings to poison our society and acquire unearned power.

Those weaklings hate the fact that many of us see their weakness and seek to silence us.

Turn the volume up.

At inception, total premium income was 80% (small plans) or 85% (large plans) loss ratio.

That rule may still exist, but I thought it was watered down.

Irresistable....

Mr. Keil's son will very likely have way more than 12 orders of magnitude greater intellectual capacity as he grows up than when he was born.

1) The velocity of money is one important measure of an economy. It slows down dramatically when hoarded.

2) working and middle class Americans pay higher fraction of pay in taxes: preferential taxation of cap gains (and other tricks).

Trickle down is a sick propaganda attack on our people.

Requiring internet connectivity, requiring an "account" gives control over "Smart devices" to profit-oriented corp managers who want to hold our use of our appliances hostage to their whims.

This is a HUGE security hole.

Ionic... It's probably a compound issue.

Some positive, some negative.

Not the strongest bond, occasionally dissociating in solution, but generally neutral in balance.

August 23 2020. I sent a payment to IRS. Failed to verify its delivery.

October: Stop payment on check, send new check.

December 2020: IRS bitches about bounced check. Nothing about second check.

Fucking up U.S. Mail delivery in an election year. These fuckers know exactly what they are doimg.

My father brought an extra white shirt to work in Pittsburgh every day (1960-1965 or so). Many days he reported the air was so thick he had a hard time seeing a few feet.

(Steel mills, huge amounts of coal and coke burning...)

Regulations were written in blood.

I just commented to my wife...

I wonder whether the sun will rise in the west someday soon...

Rand Paul said something rational and with which I can agree...

Will wonders never cease?

Columbus Ohio, with a crowd of several thousand of our fellow patriotic friends. From 2/3 of the way back from the podium.

Grateful that so many showed up with their voices!

To quote a quartet of British guys from the 60's...

The mylar media was coated on both sides so cutting a notch on the other side could allow one to flip the diskette over to make it double sided. Uncovered notch is write protected, covered is write enabled.

OMG holy shit I remembered this....

Imagine how I feel using my 2Tbyte USB-C SSD...

So would anyone want to take a bet on how quickly profit would take priority over safety protocols, fissile materials management and high level waste management?

From childhood I have thought nuclear was a powerful technology. Unfortunately I grew up to be unimpressed by executive laziness.

Many many of us see history not with guilt but optimism that growth and learning are possible. That earning the promise we made as children is a worthwhile goal, above all others:

I read The Bell Curve. Murray and Herrnstein failed to account for particulate pollution and lead pollution (atmospheric and in paint).

I cannot decide whether it was before the effects of pollution on young minds was understood.

They were wrong in a way that is too common among conservatives.
