It's not really got much to do with national security, however there's absolutely nothing wrong with looking after American jobs.

@Jolly said in Madison Cawthorn photos: Put the crack pipe down, dude. Biden is sending you a new one in your mail kit. LOL It’s like a failed woody, but made of iron

Same thing that inspired you to be a dick? Woke up one morning and thought that would be a good thing to do...

Jon would do her.

And still works out.

@kluurs said in Canadian attacks US Soldiers: One of the NPR commentators referred to geese as "flying sacks of shit." lol as if liberals can fly.

To improve posture when riding a horse, one of my instructors used to yell "tits up!" at me.

I heard it’s only the good-looking, witty ones.

I use cash for for things that don't have to be bought every month - clothing and just-for-fun things. (I only started doing this a few months ago. I was cashless for over a decade) All the essentials are on a card or autopay (utilities, groceries, etc.). Cash really does help reign in discretionary spending, and much of it is unnecessary.

A leader in the bank's responsible investing team? It's literally his job to make this judgment call about whether the doomsayers are rational. I guess he missed the fine print about what his conclusions were expected to be.

weirdos

@89th said in Hay, Cats! Your AOC post of the day.: I'm surprised she's dating a white male, and a ginger at that...which is like the whiter shade of white. Also surprised she's dating a male. All that love for weirdo genders is just for show

I bonked during the Elephant Rock Century ride in Denver, CO. It was mostly due to muscle fatigue and altitude. We were nutrition and hydration obsessed back then. I don't think it's quite the same thing that you experienced, @Klaus but it was real and it was intense. It was the 10+ mile climb right before the ~75 mile rest area. About 2/3 of the way up the hill, doing switchbacks just to keep the bike moving, I pulled over to the side of the road and fell over. I didn't even have the strength to twist my ankles enough to release my feet from the pedals. I just laid there and laughed and told my BIL Matt, I need to rest a bit. Altitude was messing me as well. Laid there for a couple of minutes to catch my breath and started back up the hill. It was rather interesting getting started on that hill. I actually had to go down a little ways then turn back up continuing to switchback to the top. Coasted down a small hill to the rest area and collapsed in the grass next to a lake. It was all I could do to walk to the porta-potty. Then it was all I could do to remove myself from the porta-potty . I collapsed on the ground with my hamstrings just screaming in pain. A person saw me writhing in pain and approached me. He said, you need to squeeze the lactic acid out of your muscles. Start squeezing your legs like this! And he showed my how to do it. After doing this for about twenty minutes or more, alternating leg to leg, I started to feel like I could get back on the bike. I was told, you have a couple more miles of climbing but then it's a 14+ mile descent, then pretty flat to the finish line. And remember to spin your pedals on the downhill. Don't coast. You want the muscles to keep moving but not strained to help rid them of the residual lactic acid. It seemed to work. So I motored on and finished. At the end of the ride, I was incoherent. I could speak but I could not assemble a proper sentence and everything I said was just absolutely hysterical. I remember nothing I said at the time.

You can pick your friends, And you can pick your nose.. But you can't pick your friend's nose...

@Jolly said in Women can never be adults?: Yes, it paints him as a victim. And to a certain extent, he is. He's also vulgar and crass. The question is whether the punishment fits the offense? I'd say what he said sounded an awful lot like sexual harrassment. I wouldn't want that guy running the works canteen, never mind a lab.

I think if I could query the oracle with any number, not just integers, I could do it with just one query. Just take an arbitrary transcendental number (such as Pi). No two integer-coefficient-polynomials will agree on that number. Enumerate all non-negative-coefficient-polynomials until you get to the one that agrees with the result. (the method is not entirely practical, though, because it depends on comparing numbers that cannot be finitely represented with digits).

Paywall, but presumably you’re referring to the amount of written reportage until skin colors were mentioned.
