I had the same reaction a couple days ago when I saw they were still there. Definitely not a good look for Boeing.

If you ever accidentally left food in the microwave

I’ve lost count of how many times. Now we have a microwave with a reminder beep that keeps going off every minute or so until you open the door. Best feature ever.

Ooof. I’m so sorry. I’m so sick of what the political discourse in this country has become, and what it’s doing to people.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m extremely happy for the change, but I think the excitement you’re seeing is more indicative of how much anxiety everyone was feeling about the future of this country if Biden stubbornly stayed in, and the sudden wave of relief they’re feeling now. If Biden hadn’t decided to run again at let the primary process do it’s job to select a candidate, we might now have someone even better positioned to defeat Trump.

That could be. It was 8 years ago and I was very upset. Still haven’t recovered.

I’d like to remind everyone that 8 years ago, the polls showed Hillary was going to trounce Trump pretty handedly. There was tons of discussion after the election about how the polls could be so wrong.

I think Fivethityeight’s explanation went something like…

If a candidate is only polling 40% to their opponents’s 60%, and you were to run the election 10 times with a different sampling of voters each time, it doesn’t mean that the candidate will lose by 60% every time. It means they’re going to win four times out of ten.

Don’t let polls lull you into either complacency or despair. The only thing polls are really good for is giving pundits something to talk about in the 24 hour news cycle. Polls don’t decide the election. Only actual votes on actual ballots that are actually submitted in time decide the election.

This whole “Trump is weird ‘attack’” is so milquetoast. Austin is weird. The Guardians of the Galaxy are weird. Weird Al Yankovic is weird. Donald Trump isn’t weird. He’s a dangerous criminal being manipulated by the Russians. This is not the time to be silly.

Coward

Triggered Snowflakes

You left out the part about sending more bombs to Israel, to replace the ones used to kill civilians, knowing full well they’d be used to kill more civilians.

I’m honestly not sure, but I think it’s a subtle joke. i.e. instead of paying her a living wage for her espionage, she got hand bags.

Which are all good points of discussion, but still paint a very different picture of what happened than your initial comment which made no mention of the knives or surveillance footage, instead focusing solely on supposed witnesses talking to reporters. It suggests that you’re trying to drive a specific narrative rather than find the truth.

Some context that you left out…

MPD says several officers from Columbus Ohio observed a man, armed with a knife in each hand, and was engaged in an ‘altercation’ with another man they say was unarmed.

They say officers identified themselves as police officers and made several commands for the 43-year-old to drop the knife.

Police say the man refused and charged at the unarmed man with the knives. That’s when several officers discharged their firearms, killing the 43-year-old man.

Surveillance video appears to show the shooting in the middle of Vliet St.

TMJ4 acquired the bodycam video of the Columbus officers from MPD.

Two knives were recovered from the scene, according to MPD.

In this narrow case, it’s considered proper/correct to pronounce the “x” like an “sh”, which greatly improves the tongue rolling.

Taxes

… or xitter.

I don’t think any of those people are being relocated to Texas.

It’s bureaucracy. The hearing is well before the scheduled execution, and it sounds likely that the hearing will vacate the conviction, from what I read. The court is just saying that there’s an established process for this and the lawyers just need to follow that process.

ETA: Not to say that our legal system isn’t horribly broken, because it is. Just saying that my interpretation of this case is that Marcellus is just a few dotted i’s and crossed t’s away from being a free man.

Aren’t these the same investors that recently decided that that $56 billion package was reasonable? Do they even listen to themselves?

Honestly, I feel like if districts are gonna be drawn, it’d make more sense to just choose some algorithm and have a computer do it.

I’ve thought about this exactly. Here’s my idea.

Crowd source the algorithm every X years. Anybody with basic skills in map making and programming can submit a candidate algorithm. Candidates are scored by…

A) how well they evenly distribute the population across districts (eg +X points for every extra person a district has above a perfectly even distribution), and…

B) how simple the districts are (eg. +Y points for every corner each district boundary has.), which would prevent any kind of gerrymandering.

Lowest score with above example points system wins. Winner gets to have their name on any ballots used while the districts chosen by the algorithm are used. Or something. 🤷
