Twitter in a nutshell, just multiply the number of accounts by a few million.

Maybe he will think about starting a new thread and then people can not get all wound up about the derail from Ukraine into US whatever.

U.S. in Vietnam, U.S. in Iraq and Afghanistan.
RUS in Afghanistan.

These things aren’t stopped easily even if they aren’t popular.

Summit - no offense man, but you are probably at the exact...

Leroy Jenkins is perhaps the most eponymous user name of all TGR history.

Yeah, that’s sort of what I watched my boss deal with trying to justify upgrades from GS 6 to GS 6/7 for squad leader type positions. I think HR and OPM got a piece of his soul over the years he...

You probably have better insight, but it sure seems like the issue is money because the entire USFS is mis-classified into the wrong GS levels.

Maybe not the entry level, but hotshot...

Your link literally says they can’t determine the per test cost for the tests that were mailed via USPS.

Is that the same as the per test cost for the ones I buy at the grocery store for $10/test?...

Remember this is the guy who was just wondering why people don’t take what he says at face value.

Its not worth it.

The cool kids are all treating their PTSD offshore with ibogaine.

I was under the impression that the term came from the Ukrainians. They are running a masterful propaganda campaign.

Ha!

I just find peoples adoption of propaganda fascinating is all. Story old as time is dehumanizing your enemy so as to motivate your own people. Same thing the Russians did to motivate their...

I just have experienced it being leaned on instead of figuring out or addressing the problem when there was at the end confirmed pathology, with life altering consequences if we didn’t find a doctor...

I’d use the adjectives you just wrote. I don’t need a caricature of them to understand what is happening nor do I think all of them are doing that.

It’s sort of like applying those terms to...

Wow, the adoption of “Orc” to describe the Russian soldier is fascinating.

Why? Is it necessary to adopt this dehumanizing propaganda language to describe them?

I’m admittedly a little touchy on this subject. Maybe I am summarizing in my head incorrectly but what is coming across to me is: “we don’t know, but I think most of this is psychosomatic and...

CDC has an entire website dedicated to it:

As someone who spent a year plus of my life trying to get my wife to a...

So if you have an electrical fire in the winter you are willing to just eat the cost?

Both of them are overpaid jackasses. What a waste of court time massaging these twos egos.

I was saying this to myself quite awhile ago and yet line goes up.

A bunch of houses nationally doesn’t matter if they aren’t where people want to live or where the jobs are. Regional housing shortages are real AFAICT.

Yeah, but where does ROI come in? It’s all about the Benjamin’s man.

Yes, obviously you wouldn’t understand. *looks down nose snidely*

I have worked in construction.

No way I want my kids doing that unless it’s what they really want. I’m not talking about the management folks, I’m talking trades.

On the flip side, I’ve seen...

It’s pretty unfair to ask the rich to pay taxes though don’t you think?

Quick google tells me median range of gas vehicles is 410 miles. EV is about 235.

Average commute is 16 miles and you can charge it in your driveway which cuts out an entire side trip.
...

Adirons point is that in a world of finite resources we are better off spending the political capital and tax money on impacting kids in that age group because it can have profound impacts on...

This thread makes me think there should be widespread support for tax increases to pay as we go for infrastructure.

MTM reminds me a lot of Benny Profane.

I’m hoping that the general acknowledgement that the system is not working well leads to some compromise where a lot of what is discussed here is addressed, but in this political climate I’m not...

You are smart. Why are you ignoring the stats about how many students are working at least part time? The numbers float between ~50-80% depending on part versus full time school. Maybe that has a...

Some good good ideas here, although the idea
that paying for school (entirely as used to be possible) by working seems to fly in the face of your graph showing college costs inflating far above CPI...

Simple solution, recover the billions in PPP loan fraud and punish them by making the student loan payments for people on the low end of the spectrum income wise.

Loan forgiveness needs to come...

Costco pack of bandaids was a good investment.

I can't remember the last time I got a flat on a car. Probably a work truck out in the boonies.

They are probably talking about the EPA requirements, which they have to hit, so that might get them over the line.

I'm impressed this person thinks people should take them seriously about various economic and market issues in other threads, yet can't parse that statistic.

Denali access road will be closed at polychrome in 2022 due to a landslide that will take a couple of years to build a bridge over.

Get your off leash dog off my property.

Based on what scientists are saying it’s pretty much to late to have an orderly switch and we just need to throw everything at the wall and yes, it’s going to be painful for countries that have...

This is a FNIH discussion from October 2021 which is pre omicron.

They present the stats as 50% rate in hospitalized patients and 10-30% in mild cases....

Wow, so it’s 50% of child related costs and one party can just decide to add to the cost whenever they want?

Any recommendations for a leadership related book? Yes it’s for a training. I realize it’s all the same repackaged ideas, so something enlightening and grounded in science would be interesting.
...

I’m just impressed by how many peoples shit doesn’t stink.

Who knew baby monitors could be so controversial?

Wow.

Well, yeah….

Seems like a reasonable way to chase the electrical and then square up later if DIY.

Realistically we don’t need global consensus, we need the largest producers to act.

Certainly something I think about when I take the kids skiing. That and if I should be teaching them a sport that might not be around by the time they are 30.

Makes it hard to plan for the future for sure.

Where to move, skills, resources, kids, etc.

Maybe ignorance is bliss?
