Does this mean we’re gonna have to spin posts around a miles long circle and smash them into each other?

Because that’s what doom scrolling social media already feels like.

Once you get to the books Sanderson finished, things really get moving, IIRC. It’s been ages since I read the series, but I remember them suddenly having a fun sense of urgency.

Look, if you’re not chipping brains, flying to space, or visiting the Titanic… are you even a real billionaire?

Maybe not, but it *is* what the insurance company told me when they doubled my rates over the last 3 years when I'm driving the same (now) 10 y/o car with no accidents or claims.

It’s not quite a “victimless crime”.

Insurance is already unaffordable because cars like Teslas are so expensive to repair, even for those that don’t own one. More crashed Teslas = higher rates for everyone else too.

Private insurance companies shouldn’t exist in the first place, but they do.

I didn’t become a scientist, but I did become a software engineer the minute I returned from my NSF REU program at UIowa writing code for VR simulations. Discovering and then solving problems is the most wonderful feeling of accomplishment that it’s driven my entire career for the 25+ years since.

SCOTUS is on record saying the President can do whatever the F he wants. No?

Why even bother with the litigation, just state that taking bribes is an “official act”. Who will stop him if SCOTUS, DoJ, and Congress can’t/won’t?
