Among scientists there wasn’t any significant doubt twenty years ago. It was just spin doctors trying to pretend otherwise.

I expect to hear in a few years that Carlson has been on the payroll of the Russians for years.

Here’s a random tip I heard about music inspiration: if you’re in a rut do something completely differently from how you normally do it. Do something the opposite way from how you usually do it or start using a different approach from usual. Maybe give yourself an arbitrary restriction like “no thirds, use more sixths instead” or pick something you normally do and do the reverse. If you normally start writing songs with chord progressions try starting with a melody instead. Or start with a rhythm instead. Just do something different so you’re forced to have a fresh take on composition. Hopefully that’ll help you see things in a fresh light.

Godot supports C# as well as its native python-like GDscript.

Maybe not the impeachment but if any of the accusations are based on reports to police (or the FBI) then “making a false report” to police is a crime and that could be prosecuted.

My summary:

a) It’s pretty toothless and has very little effect in law, and

b) It’s also symbolically important to recognise a highly disadvantaged group of people

I think that means we might as well vote yes because at least it’s a symbolic nod to an inequity. And there’s no reason to vote no because it doesn’t really have any legal effect, let alone downsides.

Bonus conclusion: politicians claiming “it could be interpreted unpredictably by the courts and lead to legal uncertainty” are being disingenuous and we should treat those people with suspicion.

Also there’s literally a scene in the Bible where god turns water into wine for his disciples. Why would he do that if it was a bad thing?

It’s the last gasp of the TV industry. An industry which doesn’t know how to adapt to changing times and keeps vomiting out the same crap year after year despite the fact that less and less people are watching. It won’t be long before the TV networks are a footnote in history.

There’s a distinction between being cautious and always being at fault. Of course you should always be extra cautious as a rider, but that doesn’t mean it’s your fault if a car flattens you.

NIxon is often quoted. But maybe you’re right and Americans really do regard him as the worst ever.

Nice victim blaming. Most motorcyclist deaths are due to them being hit by cars, but it’s their fault you’re saying?

Sure. But most Americans don’t seem to regard Trump as the worst president ever which boggles my mind. This guy was openly trying to overthrow democracy in America and was engaging in organised criminal activities, and you think there were worse presidents? I mean he was literally trying to overthrow your entire constitution and system of government. Can it get worse than that?

I’ve noticed Linus be visibly mean to his employees on camera multiple times and I don’t even watch that much. I figure if that’s what he’s willing to do on camera it’s probably a lot worse off camera.

I mean one studio makes a great game and a bunch of other studios make shitty games… then gamers like the game which is better and want more games to be like that. Traditionally that’s called market forces, not a weapon.

She really was in a sticky situation.

Big investors into his company got burned too.

It was an attempted ad hominem attack which backfired on her. A stupid argument in the first place and even more stupid because she got it wrong.

Or having Lord as a name - which actually used to be somewhat popular in the US.

Samsung and Google support their current generation phones for five years. Apple supports theirs for seven years from when they’re last sold.

But now you have to charge two things rather than one. Some people would prefer not to have to do that.
