Does Sanders have enough life left in him to develop a far-left party? How will it differ from the existing left-leaning third-parties? How would the party stand out and "matter?" Relevant XKCD

I ask these things as a perennially disappointed minarchist classical liberal.

I'm not sure how Immovable Rods work exactly, but presumably with three of them you could place two, stand on them, place the third at some reasonable height, move the first two to a new location and repeat as needed, then once at the appropriate height, "lock" the top rung and use the ladder proper to climb back down, setting the other immovable rungs as needed.

Like a climber tree stand for murder hobos.

Is IoT LTSC a viable replacement for a Pro install in a home enviroment? I do a lot of remote desktop work to access the machine. It's either that or Linux with Proton to emulate Windows must haves at home.

Didn't select kids as extremely or very important.

Presumably there are seven choices:

  • extremely important
  • very imp
  • imp
  • ambivalent
  • unimp
  • very unimp
  • extremely unimp

The data is reporting the tail

 

Title.

We're planning to get the kiddo a puppy for Christmas and while reading Sterling, the Best ~~Fork~~ Dog Ever it occurred to me that I could blend in bits of wisdom about caring for a dog (no, puppies do NOT go in the dishwasher).

Are there any other Pre-K level books that could be a fun bed time story while also driving home that doggies will drink water when they want, you don't have to force them to drink?

That depends, how far in the future, how big of an expense, how much interest can you earn, and what's inflation looking like?

If it's more than a couple thousand dollars more than a couple years out, you could possibly make useful money with a high interest bearing account provided inflation is expected to be less than about 2/3 of the interest rate of the account.

Time IS money.

Battlestar Galactica will always be my comfort apocalypse.

That sounds like exactly the app I've been looking for.

Please elaborate

I imagine a lot of this could be explained by population growth, and physical and social mobility. There are flat out more people around so it's easier to find a partner you don't hate. There are also more people who are socially acceptable and accessible.

Income and net worth are different concepts though. You can have a car and be too broke to buy gas.

Also depends on our limits. $25,000 in liability will cost less than $250,000 in liability.

 

Put another way: What happens to the S&P 500 when the Baby Boomers see a spike in death rates and their estate liquidates their assets?

It appears that Sync sorts by numbers > Capital Case > lower case, as noted by !RimWorldPorn being sorted above !android rather than with !rimworld in the subscriptions list as I would have expected.

It's a small thing but just seemed odd. Is this intended?

App version is v24.03.26-14:56 (122)

 

Many times Star Trek has taken us to the future only to reset the status quo at the end of the story arc. Tapestry (but in reverse?), that time Voyager crashed in the ice, and all that.

How likely is it that Discovery went to a mutable future, just one of many, especially with the Temporal Cold War, Carl, Q, Trelane, Janeway, the HMS Bounty, and any number of other temporally active agents out there in time? How locked in is the 32nd Century?
