Spokane here, no one outside of a survey team would call it that.
“Inland Empire” maybe, but that’s about as specific as “Tri-Cities” or “the lake”. PNW is the tri-state area of WA/OR/ID in casual conversation.

It is just an out of touch rich guy struggling to make small talk, but a particularly bad example. It’s made worse because of his self-mythologizing of growing up ‘normal’ and poor and incessant talk of how if all “these people” behaved as they should they’d be where he is.
It’s really weird for a national politician going out to shake hands to not have the charisma to have no more than a single question and single response and seem to have negative interest in the visit.
Check out “Barb and Starr go to Vista Del Marr”.
Just to go ridiculous:
You can get your Private Pilots License by buying a Phenom or Citation or Lear jet and doing all your training in top of the line luxury, if you spend the money. If you then find that what you want out of flying is going into backcountry airstrips and camping your initial investment is now worthless to you, and you not only need to buy a different type of plane, but learn an entirely different set of skills. So you should probably do the “basic beginner thing” and rent a basic flight school / club plane and see what you like/care about.
Every hobby is fractal. If nothing else, if you buy the top of the line super specialized equipment you might miss out on the other branch of the hobby you would actually be interested in. (that has it’s own, different, top of the line super specialized equipment)
“Nothing is easier than to give Christian asceticism a Socialist tinge. Has not Christianity declaimed against private property, against marriage, against the State? Has it not preached in place of these, charity and poverty, celibacy and mortification of the flesh, monastic life and Mother Church? Christian Socialism is but the holy water with which the priest consecrates the heart-burnings of the aristocrat.”

Nixon’s Southern Strategy and it’s fallout made a lot of things weird.
“Don’t want automated looms? Stop buying clothes. Buy material and make your own, as your forefathers did. Surely your neighbors will be open to your message of time and effort instead of ease.”
Stop assuming the tragedy of the commons can be avoided by scolding the people talking about wanting to avoid it.
Agreed. It’s like how Emperor Hirohito did very important work.
Not the war. He spent the later half of his life meticulously collecting baseline data as a (rich and connected) marine biologist. It’s not exactly glamorous, but that data is a significant data point on how Climate Change is affecting ocean life. It’s a lot more pointed than “I swear there used to be more fireflies”.
Yes, a return to the unstructured hellscape glory of unranked comments of yesteryear. Every thread starting with a resounding “First!!1!!”. Relevant or interesting things hidden on page 5 of 31. Spam lurking around every corner, as a treat.
Probably.
It’s like how Biden’s Student Loan plan was longer than the headline of “forgive x% of them” and people wrote paragraphs about how it also needed to do XYZ, without reading enough to see it did.
If you don’t care how long it takes to get there and can effectively use the ITN you don’t even need to leave going that fast.
They played with it in DS9.
Quark is disgusted his mom is a “twisted degenerate” that campaigns for (Ferengi) women’s rights and wears clothes around the house and such.
[European utilities] have failsafes implemented to prevent back feeding electricity in the grid
Yeah but imagine if you could save money by not doing that? What are the odds that there’s going to be cheap(er) personal mass power generation in the next few decades.
I realize this is just my brain struggling desperately to pattern match and make sense of something that doesn’t, like seeing faces in white noise on a TV. But “they” could be the people saying things about Project 2025, not the fascist propaganda itself.
At least according to this it’s ~8% of the state’s electrical capacity all by it’s lonesome which doesn’t seem too bad. By the stats on it’s own wiki it’s pretty active.
My grandparents had an 8 track collection. That doesn’t make me a 60s kid.
Who fuckin’ knows, which is the problem.
SCOTUS reaffirmed a few years ago that limits can be put on what private citizens can own, to the disappointment of the “arms means ‘arms’” crowd. But that was before this whole fun angle of “justify it historically” was added.
I know what you’re talking about, but got an image of Harrison Ford being absolutely pampered in China. Which in fairness would probably happen.
The mental fitness question isn’t because of his view that we’re already in a Mad Max hellscape only he can lead the true believers out of.
The mental fitness question is because he sounds like he’s having a stroke anytime he has to string together more than 2 sentences.
Would be interested in seeing/reading more about it, don’t have/want the subscription to read the white paper. Just seems like it could be somewhat like mirrors where it’s important for the glass to be liquid at one point so there’s no distortions and a strong bond but then once it’s constructed it just sits there.

Having a power-only cable removes that as a possibility.
