Practicing writing is practicing thinking

I don't have sleeves and haven't tried to get back in, but the broken time is a problem, I vaguely remember other people in similar situations with sleeves.

The following passage from a letter GW sent to a Jewish Congregation in Road Island. The Jewish congregation had written him thanking him for the religious tolerance of the new nation. GW wrote back, essentially: "Tolerance is the wrong concept when it comes to how American treats religion, we acknowledge your (and everyone's) natural right to worship as you please - the way everyone should. The only thing the US asks is that you be good citizens." The Citizens of the United States of America have a right to applaud themselves for having given to mankind examples of an enlarged and liberal policy: a policy worthy of imitation. All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people, that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights. For happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens, in giving it on all occasions their effectual support.

I think I could accept an AI incarnation of George Washington responding to questions by looking annoyed, walking to a bookshelf, grabbing a book containing a primary source of what he said, and handing it to the viewer.

"Hey, George, is America a Christian nation, or the MOST Christian nation?"

In some cases it's a "they're one of the good ones" thing, but I think for white supremacists it's more of a fetish thing. I haven't spent time around that type of white supremacist in a couple decades, and that one couldn't get ANY women to date him, but did pursue Black women. Small sample size.

This is why they want the AI layer - so they can scapegoat a company that wasn't involved in the decision making process.

He should really look into his boss's past if he has a problem with people that torture, rape, and murder. Miller himself is 2/3, that I know of, so loving dangerously himself.

Suckling hotdog?

I just changed my LinkedIn profile picture to something other than this macho man inspired portrait just in time for you to share this. Kismet.

Or maybe just a lot more elasticity, globally

I can't speak for all of your experiences, but the reason that somethings have gotten worse has less to do with code and more to do with decisions about what to do with the code. That's how we end up with google search degrading and shitty windows updates. It's not bad code* - it's bad decisions.

Is that piece of shit squid going to start doing the right thing between now and January, or is he going to keep being spineless... Like a squid.

(With apologies to the squids that are doing the right thing)

This is how you get your identity stolen. Also, I just bought a 1984 b2000 as an EV conversion project.

What does kalshi say about is fucking then over, again?

Higher prices near term will increase investment and crater prices after the resolution. The shit infrastructure and uncapped wells might offset some of the benefit of the demand destruction.

Nevermind, I get it. I rarely see ICEV. It makes me think of ice 9. That might just be because I'm reading cat's cradle.

I see a lot of PHEV, and occasionally someone specifies BEV, but I think HEV is less common.

And some of those dead bodies won't even be American.

This requires a ton of alignment though. It sounds new, so utilities will react like they're allergic and the public doesn't understand the grid, but they're very angry about it (I don't understand it either).

That said, you would have probably have to beef up the busbar to connect more Wh of battery to it in case of a short, or something. This is too deep on the elec eng side for me though, I'm just a civil guy that accidentally learned to code.

I haven't gotten this into the weeds on large scale BESS, but the vibe I got from what I read was that they're usually set up modularly where you drop build space for 10 battery enclosures for each inverter, but then only deploy 7 batteries, leaving room for future repowers.

I don't know how many Americans know that the Iran we're familiar today is a direct consequence of one of America's first regime change FAFOs.

I didn't know about it until undergrad, and my history class was far from the standard US history part deux.

I've been a fan of Crockett for a while, but mostly the viral clips. I'm less familiar with Talarico. When I started digging into their progressive records I couldn't find much difference between the two, and people more in tune with politics implied that national coverage had it prog cred backward.

Trump isn't thinking about what this looks like a year from now, a month from now - what he is thinking about is using his current crimes to keep the MAGA base from hearing about his past crimes.

He went to the Jason Mendoza school of crisis management.

All the natalist bs in the media is actually an op promoted by TFHQ in an effort to maintain the tooth supply.

but we're not talking about aging building from a different era - we're talking about brand new buildings that have good technology built in.

One of the first books I read about firefighting was "working with giants." It's about a legendary FDNY firefighter working during the "war years," and I can understand why we're instinctively against it. There were some bad years with bad fires - (and there are still bad fires).

But as the report notes, advanced measures, like sprinklers and smoke detectors, mitigate the worst of these issues, limiting fire spread and hastening evacuation.

Our ladder trucks have ~100 feet reach, which is somewhere north of 6 floors - how tall are these single stair buildings going to be?

We have a saying in the fire service: "250 years of tradition unimpeded by progress."

I will say that even maneuvering a hoseline up one set of stairs can require a lot of effort, and in blacked out conditions, trying to do that while you have panicked people running the other way wouldn't be fun.
