Me too, just got the lego kit and thinking about adding LEDs and…oh wait. RDR2, not R2D2.

Because you always get attacked by cultists or assassins in the middle of the night if you stay at an inn.

Or maybe that’s just a Warhammer FRPG thing?

Prodigy is excellent.

True, but you can take that line of thought to some frightening extremes. How far do we go to protect people from themselves and their own ignorance? I tend to be a bit libertarian on this…as long as you’re not harming someone else, do what you want. For that to have any chance to work, people have to be informed, which would require orgs/companies to publish and label with much more information than they do now, and certainly more than they want to do.

Anyway, it all gets complicated pretty fast, which is why I list it as a “wish” instead of a concrete proposal.

I wish we had a graduated approval system, going from “limited data, but a possibility it could really help some people” up to “lots of data, massive peer reviews, effective and completely safe”. Let people willing to take personal risk do so, just make it informed.

No, so long as the bread and circuses continue to flow.

Am I an oddball in that as a developer, that QA answer is the sort of answer I give? It annoys management to no end.

If I worked there, I’d be tempted to write a program that would scan and replace some characters with Unicode/international similar characters. So for example, instead of “DEI” it would become “DẸI”.

“No sir, ‘DEI’ isn’t anywhere on site.”

15% are dumb or misunderstood the question at this point.

It’s because oil is a global market and exports are more profitable than keeping it here for some types of oil.

(Side note for those that don’t know: the President has the authority to instantly ban all oil exports at any time)

Which is especially galling since the U.S. is the largest oil exporter.

I wish we’d get cheap eggs and gas. But they’ll probably skyrocket like everything else.

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

I like RCV, but the Portland example makes a good case for STAR voting.

I’ll probably be watching Breaking Points on Youtube. The hosts aren’t unbiased, but they don’t pretend to not be and provide a good balance overall.
