You are right. Hasn’t happened since McCarthyism and the red scare in the ~50s.
DHS has been unfunded since January because of Dems.
They forced the longest govt shut down in US history in the fall.
Trump has passed one bill of consequence in 13 months, and it was the annual appropriations bill that only requires 50 votes.
Why ignore all of that?
Tell me the actual percentage of democratic politicians that voted for those things
For instance, I believe 4 out of 216 Democrats voted against the War Powers act, so less than 2%?
But we’re going to paint them all with the same brush?
I did enjoy the Good Wife, fwiw.
Also I thought it was appropriate Logan Huntzberger grew up to be a high profile Chicago lawyer
Wow I thought they were getting right to the point when I misread that as “piece of ass”
I really hoped after the first couple of days of incoherence they would convince him that killing Khamenei was enough to declare victory.
Ticks off a lot of boxes, no need to get concessions, didn’t insist on regime change, could make it a parallel to Venezuela, etc.
But no
100% no doubt about that.
I meant there is no surprise they were “able” to produce and release it, especially under the Biden Admin. It’s not like we’ve been in Red Scare Hollywood - Trump 1.0 went after *news* media, and there was a bit of “anti-woke”, but no major restrictions in creative media
Not specific to Phillips, but you made me think: are there some situations where fit is more or less important?
Obvs ignoring well rounded players. Is stability of coaching staff a factor?
From a team perspective, should they value it less with inferior coaches and just go for most talent?
I could not figure out what was insane about this, the quote makes perfect sense to me.
Finally recognized the key is who posted it, and their opinion of it
The writers and cast of Veep agree with you.

And yet Lucas still managed to produce and release 6 Star Wars films in that political environment, even under Republican presidents like Reagan and Bush!
Almost like it's not at all shocking Disney managed to make a streaming-only TV show during the Biden admin...
Re: understanding logistics, I'd say that's taught at "War College" (its real name)
Each branch has one, generally ~1 yr program of high level military strategy, logistics, branch coordination, etc. Like a Military MBA!
Only O-5 are eligible, pre-req for O-6
So if Hegseth only served as an O-3...
ha, I didn't know that!
fyi @terminal-reactor.bsky.social branches use the same words for different ranks, so the O-Number system matches equivalent ranks.
Ex: Army and Navy both have captains, but an Army Captain is O-3, while a Navy Captain is a much higher O-6, equal with an Army Colonel
That's true... but irrelevant? Andor's timeline wasn't contingent on Trump
2017: announced
2019: Gilroy gets involved
2020 March: COVID 'starts'
Apr: Gilroy official showrunner
Nov 3rd: Trump loses election
Nov: S1 filming starts
2021 Jan: Biden president
Sept: filming ends
2022 Sept: released
It’s a respectable rank, roughly equivalent to a mid-career professional with a bachelor’s degree. Experienced, maybe a team lead or middle manager
But that is ~nothing in relation to jumping 8 levels to become CEO
(My dad retired at 40yo as a major. He was a good pilot & engineer, not executive!)
It was almost entirely produced during the Biden Admin…
Me: analyze the stats in this RPG
Claude: got it. I’ll exclude Wisdom from the analysis, it is only a mental state and can’t have any impact
Me: what? No. No! Update Claude.md. No more assumptions!
Claude: okay. Here’s the R^2 for each stat
Me: am I a child? Multi-variate regressions only!
*should* have wondered? sure, no argument there
in reality? I've heard the guy speak. Does he sound like the inquisitive type to you?
Agreed. Another possibility is frustration/confusion over what SNAP can and can't pay for. Like why you can use snap money to buy a cold raw chicken, but not a hot cooked chicken.
Well, it's almost like he had barely any military leadership experience. Being a low level officer for a short period of time and a bunch of roles that didn't have anything to do with military planning or logistics
Boring question, but did you pull the elo rating at the time of each game, or one number for the whole season?
… at least, no ground invasion there for that specific reason.
(We don’t have troops massed for any kind of occupation, but that could change over time and Trump could always do something reckless)
Mag 7 exists because 7 stocks have done extremely well, but it’s a new term because NVIDIA absolutely wasn’t considered in that tier 4 years ago and its rise was extremely unexpected.
If it was expected, it would’ve had a much higher stock price in 2022!
An example of too complex to be known
Traditional casino gambling (cards, roulette, etc) has known probabilities and outcomes favoring the casino. Sports gambling has wider ranges but still contained overall.
Economics and market movements are nowhere near close to being well understood. Hence index funds beating trader performance
Because they wanted to say slurs, and were either too stupid or willing to ignore everything that was part of that package
Why would they be upset by this?
If anything, this could eventually be bad for progressives as they can currently count on the farm lobby to be allies in favor of looser immigration laws because farms need cheap labor.
If the need for that labor goes away, so does farmer support for immigration
Well, since this tech is an alternative to exploited human labor, the “good” News is that labor creates competition against a monopoly.
If they increases prices too much then exploited labor will become cheaper and preferable again
