That may even have just happened. This kid is in college talking about federal policy, international affairs or political law ……. But he’s spent this whole summer out of state as a camp counselor for children in need and is wondering if there is a major for “camp administration “. Leaning a little different is just an implication but it is implied

He gets back in a week and we’ll have a little time before he goes back to school so we’ll see

I appreciate the hidden camera adds a new layer but this isn’t anything new. Tik tok exists and behavior like this was already too common.

That being said, I wonder if there’s an answer in lower resolution. Is there a resolution low enough to create some privacy but high enough to be useful for AR? That would also make the glasses cheaper

Not that I agree with it, but isn’t this “normal”. The only plan for homeless is “not here”

I imagine this is a provocation, but why would it involve military? This is a police matter. I don’t know Greenland’s law enforcement structure but there must be someone who can arrest every person who violates Greenland law, as well as cancelling whatever license they’re doing business as

It can’t be a military provocation if there’s no military, right? Even mango Mussolini wouldn’t respond with military to a police matter?

I’m sure I don’t know all the factors in the mid game of chicken but I’m looking forward to them discovering how far a presidential pardon goes in another country

Am I the only one where this has reversed?

• my boomer mother is very progressive, human oriented
• I as an X’er lean a little toward business
• my youngest zoomer is most conservative (realistically lack of experience)

We’re all very at home in a blue state so no real conflict, but I sometimes tease my youngest as a “the real boomer” about his leanings

It’s got to be a tough choice: do they need to fear military “response” to this game of chicken?

It’s easy for us to say they should just enforce their laws but is this just a provocation? And excuse? It’s also easy for us to say any military action would be widely condemned, including from half the US, but we wouldn’t be the ones getting invaded

Hmmm, I had a similar emergency a bunch of years back but never thought to sell one of the kids.

In my case it was the town sanitation department trying to unclog the sewers by blasting a high pressure stream up my house’s drain line. The only consequence was me having a conversation with them about distinguishing the sewer lines from home drains

It will be somewhat satisfying to say “I told you so” if Drump is able to escape accountability for his corruption by being legally incompetent to stand trial.

After swimming or before?

Huh …. Then I remember all those cakes I made as a kid with my moms help were so much better than crap from a grocery, but I no longer have time or practice to do that

I could have sworn mine does that - show the number when under 20% but I don’t see a relevant setting

There’s so much truth in that cartoon, yet it’s still coming true. Renewable and storage are revolutionary and many parts of the global economic system are restructuring. We’re late and slow but it is happening.

Except in the US. We not only threw away several chances at restructuring our economy to profit from it, but we’re working on turning several of our remaining industrial giants irrelevant, all while somehow thinking it’s a good idea to maximize our impact on the environment

It’s too late to meet our target, allegedly the point where we can avoid serious disruptions. We’ve failed to prevent harm to ourselves and can’t take it back

But there’s so much more serious harm looming that can still be avoided. We can still keep it from getting worse

irreversibly

Not yet. There’s still hope.

• CO2 in the stratosphere clears in like a century or two. Our actions today can help our great grandchildren see a friendlier environment again
• science around tipping points, permanent changes, is less well understood, so we don’t have strong evidence of having passed any yet

Yeah, I’ll take the thumb turn on the inside, even if it’s conceivably too close to the window.

• it’s secure because it’s highly visible, well lighted from the street, and with several houses within hearing and seeing distance
• if someone wants in, far better to go around the side out of view from the street, only one house to hear and zero to see, and use their boot “key”

But also add why are there self-locking doorknobs? Who puts one of those on their house? I’ve had this discussion with my ex - sure enough she’s locked herself out a few times. A straightforward deadbolt requires a key to lock, so you must have your key with you

Sure that was why there was never really a business case for Concorde, but ……

• I would pay a little more to get there a little faster. Research is not only trying to quiet the boom but also trying to make it more economical.
• I believe the company listed there is focusing on private jets. Someone who can afford a private jet might be more likely to pay a premium to get there faster

Compared to chicken from other fast food restaurants, it’s top of the line. I don’t even like it but it’s so much better than ilk like McD’s, burger thing, windys

I wouldn’t even prioritize this anymore: he’s too old to serve out the sentence he deserves. But he also seems to be trying to set up a line of royalty. His sons are becoming billionaires from his efforts at exploiting the people and those seeking influence. They’ll be around for decades longer and have wealth and influence based entirely on corruption.

This needs to be the priority. All those who helped defraud the country or profited illegitimately. Prosecute them. Prosecute them all. Remove the political power gained from corruption. Set an example for future minions and coat tails hangers on, that there is no profit in it and they will face justice

Thank you for a well-timed reminder. That was my example of “never stick your dick in crazy” but I somehow never got over it.

While things are much less stressful since I’ve got divorced (from someone else) it can be a bit lonely and my mind keeps going back to the one that I was too afraid to touch. The absolutely toxic one with BPD I knew in college and could never stop thinking of )no, I did not care while I was married to someone sane). I most certainly do not need that in my life.
