That quake was nothing compared to this one.

So you’re saying it would be their…fault?

Sometimes to block an obnoxious user I have to go to old reddit to see the option.

Squeaky clean tootsies

CEO, “It will pay off because I’m the visionary.”

Money that didn’t go to back into the company or wages.

Or just putting the money back into the company or wages.

So instead of continuing a project that could cure diseases and help understand human biology they’ll focus on a system I use for asking questions like “What adhesive is best to attaching siding trim?”

I’d rather see the gambling industry take a massive hit.

At least it wasn’t Meganeura.

With single wing length reaching 32 centimetres (13 in), a wingspan around 65–75 cm (2.13–2.46 ft)…

I traveled outside of Beijing about 2 years ago and I passed through a ghost city. I could see, literally, from horizon to horizon nothing but the same exact style apartment buildings and construction cranes in the distance. In the streets though, nothing. You know if a unit is occupied because there will be an AC unit in the window and I estimated about 5% of the units were occupied. I could count the number of people I saw on one hand.

From the chats I had with folks in China they said these massive developments got promoted to people as investments. So people put their savings into them thinking they’d pay off. Turned out these new units were far too expensive for the vast majority of Chinese people to afford so they remained empty. It is going to be a mess. I wouldn’t be surprised if the gov just stepped in and seized the properties and rented/sold them out at lower prices just to prevent a collapse and put them to use.

Trump has actually quipped about making Venezuela the “51st state”. They are committed to bringing back the era of banana dictatorships and quasicolonialism.

At the very least they have a leader that acts like a grown man with a sense of normal behavior.

I hate to see living things die but I can accept removing tumors.

When he goes we’ll still have the machine they slapped in place still there or at the very least the mess they left behind. If the next president goes into repair mode it’ll probably consume the entire term at the very least.

In the meantime I have a bottle of champagne in the fridge.

I’m not looking forward to my next car having everything on a touch screen and few tactile buttons/knobs. Then it will pass my data back to the manufacturer.

TCOB, takin’ care of business.

I’ve seen things you wouldn’t believe…

The variety pack.
