Germany could have disavowed the Zimmerman Telegram and avoided or postponed the U.S. entering The Great War, but they fucking owned that shit.

Could have been an image with a caption.

It’s still worth it for appreciation and 1031 exchanges.

Which 10 states would those be? I don’t know of any state that prohibits an abortion when the life of the mother is at risk.

That could be stalled in court for years. Extra-judicial killing of a US citizen already happened under Obama without consequences, so there is precedent.

This is the hidden-variables hypothesis and specific tests were made to check for it. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell's_theorem

Remember Moab

I really don’t get Truman’s calculus to use the bomb except to inflict massive casualties, which may have been what he wanted to show the Soviets after all — Truman was willing to obliterate entire populations.

Since there were plenty of other examples of this (ex Dresden) with conventional explosives and fire bombing, I’m pretty sure he just wanted to test his new toy.

Right. All I remember from the marketing material, even the bespoke website, was an image of a Sentinel. Seeing that was enough for me to avoid all reviews, but I did visit that website a few more times and still had no idea what the movie was about. Saw it opening night. Actually I was a bit disappointed by the premise, seemed very derivative. Still a great movie tho.

LEDs are soldered to the circuit board. The switches then have a transparent channel that the LED shines through.

Keychron has what you’re looking for, and it’s wireless. I have 2 of their keyboards and they’re pretty good and an excellent value.

As for a Model M with a backlight, yea I don’t think that would work with the buckling spring… there’s just nowhere to put the light. My daily driver is currently a Unicomp New Model M and I just don’t think the shape of the board would make it easy to do this without sacrificing all that makes it what it is.

You won’t be sad about Colemak, but you don’t need half those keys

It’s a play on the word “dike”

The moment GMan’s mouth fucking moved in Half Life when he talked. 🤯

I also gave Outer Wilds a try and don’t think it stood up to the hype. Got through probably 95% of the story and then gave up on it, there were two “puzzles” that I just couldn’t figure out. Ended up reading a walkthrough and was not sad at all that I put it down.

Go away. ‘Baten.

You don’t need to be smart to be a car salesman. I think it may actually be a hindrance.

I had a salesman tell me once that I could get a really good deal on an R32. Someone at the dealership took it out for a joyride and rolled it, but because it wasn’t insured, they slapped it back together and sold it with a clean title.

Another time I had a sales guy try to sell me a truck with 100k miles put on it in 12 months with no maintenance records.

Your [lego masters] were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should

The Laundromat

My take on it:

Powerful nations almost inevitably sponsor terrorist groups to be a thorn in the side for other nations. These terrorists target civilians to ensure a disproportionate response. There is no end to these conflicts because the primary fighters have no desire to negotiate and are willing to sacrifice any civilians around them as meat shields.

The U.S. does it (Taliban v1, many coups). Israel does it (Hamas). Iran does it (Hamas, Hezbolla and Yemen). Russia does it (Taliban v2, many coups).

Can’t remember hearing about China or India doing it though? But they care about a different part of the world and so I’m not sure I hear about it as much in western media.
