I’m a Nazi but I’m not sure which quadrant of Nazi I am.

@george-k said in SCOTUS hears Mississippi abortion law: Did anyone listen today? I did for about 30 minutes, and it was quite interesting. The Solicitor General argued that since Roe was established law stare decisis applies. Justice Kavanaugh then pointed out half a dozen cases where stare decisis was not applied (Brown vs Board, Dred Scott), and the court revisited these rulings to overturn them. https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4988908/justice-kavanaugh-questions-julie-rikelman-instances-court-overcome-stare-decisis There was a discussion about viability of the fetus, particularly with respect to the 15 week cutoff. Roberts said that there were only seven countries which don't impose a cutoff for abortion. Among them are China, North Korea, and, of course the United States. Run a poll and ask people if they believe our abortion laws should be closer to Europe’s or China and North Korea?

So they think "national security" is more important than individuals being abused. Meanwhile, they employ and cover up for people who are clearly going to be high-risk as far as blackmail is concerned, with all the associated security risk that entails. Anybody who covers this stuff up should be jailed.

Or a backdoor.

Pretty cool. Hope it works. He seems confident.

Let’s just say there was plenty of strong swearing. Stronger than you can imagine. Russian is very rich in that way.

That was a cool trip down memory lane. My experience with muscle cars was a 1970 Pontiac GTO, although it was not the "Judge RamAir" version. White exterior with a light blue interior. Bought it used in 1972 for $2500 with around 21,000 miles on it. A 400 c.i. engine with a 4 barrel holley carb and an automatic turbo hydrostatic tranny that would lay rubber in all 3 gears. That car was the fastest I ever drove a car at 122 mph on the interstate. I loved that car.

@jolly said in Electronics & Whiskey: Yeah, but did you use it with electronics? I was drunk in the lab plenty of times.

Healthcare and education don’t scale as well as manufacturing so it would be natural for them to grow in employment relative to the other sectors. (See Baumol’s cost disease)

You know, you would think the schools would invite parents to attend a class or two or give a special meeting showing parents the materials and the topics that they are discussing. You would think they would be proud of their curriculum and want to share it….

We do the same (kinda)... we make pulled chicken in the InstaPot. Add a bunch of salsa, chicken breasts, then after a few hours, mix (shred) it with an electronic mixer (normally used when baking). Keeps things easy...

The data only includes 200 cities in the US. I'd like to see a broader list.

That's Omicron news. If that turns out to be a Nothingburger, back up it goes.

I carry cash.

Interesting. I would have never think that Tel Aviv would be the most expensive.
