She puts on a good show … does her promos … then lambastes Californians because they didn’t put out the fire with ocean water. Anyone who said ‘Well, duh’ to that belongs in her club … the ‘if I can talk really fast I must be smart’ club.

For me, any office apps. Never worked in an office, never wanted to. None of that stuff. Even if it’s free, if it gets installed with the distro, it’s the first thing that gets tossed.
Lucky me, I go to sleep when I’m tired, wake up when I’m not.
Rated 5.5 on IMDB. Cud see why in 15 secs.
Imperialism is different than taking the land outright.
Agreed. But a threat can be the beginning of a negotiation. Historically, the US wants the appearance of sovereignty to remain - even democracy if possible - just keep the right people in power.
Community.
That didn’t save South America.
Seems like we -may- have had it worked out already. The major problem is: how do we rein in the people who want to do it their way and become kings?
I’m going to enjoy that multi-app FX stack.
When I was a young teem, a teacher put a slice of apple in a sealed container with a few fruit-flies. A week later, there were hundreds of fruit-flies. In another week the bottom of the container was covered with the bodies of fruit-flies. Quick, unforgettable lesson.
So far as I’ve heard, none of them ever escaped that distant past.
Walking downtown to the movie theatre (back when they were cheap and they didn’t arrest parents for letting kids do that) to see first-run science-fiction features on a Saturday holding a bag of popcorn… and getting my money’s worth … and still enjoying them decades later after nuking my own popcorn …
All that typing doesn’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you’ll understand that.
Yeah I thought about quoting the rest of that line …‘which would cover the world’s energy needs for several hundred million years’ but didn’t feel like converting that to hours… 10^6 x 10^9 x 10^x x 10^6 * ~8765… it’s a lot of energy
I visit Sabine for her physical sciences commentary, because of her qualifications. Sorry to hear she stepped outside of that and offended people. Doesn’t invalidate any of what she shared in this episode.

“for my serious novel Deep Well. I read Geothermal Engineering Fundamentals and Applications, by Arnold Watson.”
P.S. Damn, he’s looking old these days.
Knackered, as t’were?
The Europeans have had -many- centuries longer to screw -everything- up in -every way- and then, eventually, regret it. A bit. So, like most of us humans, who learn most lessons the hard way, they have finally settled on something they can live with … and they call it civilization. With pride.
Amongst those living there who don’t know all of that history - like most humans - they assume that things got that way reasonably. And brag about it as if it was true.
Unlike the middle East - which has had -millenia- longer to learn - and which was, is, and it seems always will be, screwing everything up in every way. While they all point their fingers elsewhere. And build very large monuments to survive them.
Fully agreed, and thanks for the constructive thoughts!
I think the Orang is the last hurrah of a long, sad part of a US subtext of which Reagan was the first Chapter, and he is the defiant last chapter. There is enough light in the world today to carry us through it.
I’d learn to speak zombie. Doesn’t take long, it’s mostly throat noises. And walk like a zombie, just pretend a horse kicked you in the ass yesterday.
