Tortoises ≠ Turtles

The Orange R by John Clagett written back in 1978 was describing this feedback loop in its story.

In the story Nuclear radiation was poisoning the air and scrubbers all over the country were cleaning up the radiation but were using nuclear power to power them creating a huge feedback loop where more radiation was leaking and needing more scrubbers to clean it.

I won’t give away what they thought about solar power, but it’s awfully close to the same messages that certain orange people say about wind and solar power to this day.

ETA: it’s amazing that back in the '70s they thought our future would be nuclear pollution from power plants while they had polluting coal plants and now 50 plus years later we still have polluting coal plants.

We do share a land border with Denmark. We settled a border dispute with Denmark on Hans Island. We also have France just a few kilometers off the coast of Newfoundland in St Pierre and Miquelon.

We should use that as a path to EU membership

Dogs are far more nimble on unstable terrain than humans are.

Maybe they are trained to run in an expanding grid rather than back and forth in the same area.

Is it the front that fell off or the back?

That piece of shit looks so similar from the front and back that I can’t tell which side fell off.

I got to go to up to 7 ingredients and I’m counting the four mandatory veg as one ingredient (1 cup each of carrot, onion, celery and 1 tablespoon of diced garlic) that I call mirepoix.

African ground nut stew:

• 10 chicken thighs
• 4 cups of mirepoix
• Large can of diced tomatoes
• Can of tomato paste
• Cup of chicken stock
• 2 cups of mushrooms

-High pressure for 28 mins

Stir in 3 tablespoons of unsweetened peanut butter to thicken.

If you want to make it 8 ingredients then add hot sauce to taste.

I would if I could but he went with my ex while I kept the dog, who is named after the god emperor of the known universe.

No Heroics, only lasted a few seasons in the UK which means only maybe 12 episodes. (You may also see some actors from Ted Lasso if you look carefully.)

My cat was named after the undead-assassin-warrior-poet.

Great show in that it is so strange and offbeat that you don’t really know why things are happening but they certainly are happening.

Unfortunately right now it is just a bunch of dead chimps and fortunately lots of Elon Dickriders lined up to test fry their brains.

There was a certain light colored house that got lit on fire by retaliatory forces back in 1812.

Walking around wearing Google Glass and other AR devices would be like having advertising added to real life. Neuralink would be a hellish version of that black mirror exercise bike episode where you can’t see anything but ads, not even when you close your eyes.

Snowcrash was a dystopic warning not a plan.

Rich assholes think it was a dreamworld.

Just reuse Jeffries clip from a few weeks ago about the house putting together a quick response taskforce.

He was talking out of his ass then about them responding to things quickly then and they will respond exactly the same way here.

Believe Trump when he said a month ago that they will move the remaining ~1.97 million Palestinians out of Gaza. He didn’t pull that number out of his ass, he probably heard it from a report provided by Israel. There was 2.2 million Palestinians before so there is likely 230,000 dead at least.

You can get it with proof of Irish parents or grandparents.

He was milquetoast compared to actual progressive politicians. He folded like all paid opposition party Democrats when it came to the public option.

He put his finger on the scale to get others to drop out all on the same day so Bernie wouldn’t win the nomination and you got Biden instead.

They would likely do away with term limits for Republicans only since they can make their own rules and even if they didn’t Obama wouldn’t run for another term because he would say it isn’t the way the founding fathers wanted and the all important parliamentarian said no.

You can get fire starter matches that are a wedge of fire starting material with a tip that can be struck like a match. I don’t know how much burn time is needed but they go for 7 or so minutes.

Great for camping or any fire starting uses.
