    It’s absolutely unconscionable that Biden doesn’t know what to do!

    I mean Trump clearly did it ALL wrong and now the obvious answers aren’t being presented. I mean WTF?

    Hahahaha. The next four years are gonna be fun, just quoting the past four years and how obvious the canards were.

    There is absolutely no way to measure that.

    Poll question about trust in a vaccine, 8/28-9/20. It’s posted in another thread.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in Number Three:

    I don't know why anybody cares. If you don't like the fact that Obama's written a book, there's an easy solution - don't buy it.

    I tried reading Bush's book. It was shit, but nobody complained about him writing it. People actually buy his paintings, for crying out loud.

    He's an ex president. It doesn't matter what he does.

    Nobody complained?

    You’d be fine in Durham. Even with your man bun and tea.

    But leave the pussy hat in MD.

    @taiwan_girl said in He's right.:

    ... the republican party of five years ago is probably different than the republican party of today.

    Was President Trump responsible for that? Probably yes.

    Yes, and yes.
    This is a nice illustration for both:

    The best part of you ran down your mama's leg, didn't it?

    If you want the time frame, google it. It's mentioned in more than one article.

    Now, the fact remains there were that many lawsuits filed. Many with the same provisions that were defeated in HR 1.

    This has been a long time in the works. ATT has no interest in a rhetorical spewing machine but wanted the profits from an election year. I wonder if Zucker can be an effective salesman as he fantasizes a political career. I’m sure mayor of NYC would be his wet dream.

    Very interesting how all media is now scrambling for their next act now.

    I also wonder how much Trump will resemble “Succession”. Must see HBO TV.

    Well said but mostly because it usually takes someone too many pages to say what he said in a couple of paragraphs.

    It’s taken our country 40 years to get to where it is today on smoking and there isn’t an equally loud opposing side. Progressives should take note and reflect on this when things mysteriously don’t work out.

    @Loki said in 5G speed:

    When I used to get 70 on my wifi it felt very fast. Anything above that was imperceptible. Yeah I know there are all kinds of thinks possible at faster speeds but how does the average person win today at higher speeds than let’s say 70?

    Good point. I remember reading an article about wasted speed. My experience is similar to yours, but at a lower threshold. Anything above 40 is not, for me, noticeable.

    Unless I'm downloading that hi-def German pr()n, which, well...

  • Puzzle time - the forth corner

    The official solution came out today:

    SOLUTION: The first thing to do here is think of the initial square as a cell of the plane grid, e.g., the points (0,0), (0,1), (1,0) and (1,1) on the X-Y plane. Then the pegs will always be on grid points.

    Grid points, however, have four possible parities: each coordinate can be even or odd. When a peg jumps, its parity is preserved; its X-coordinate goes up or down by an even number, and likewise its Y-coordinate.

    The points of the unit cell above have all four parities, so the corner that starts without a peg can never be occupied.

    @jon-nyc said in One of Trump's law firms quits:

    You have to go over $8,000 in order for the first penny to go to the actual “recount account”. Large donors over 8k still see a split above that amount.

    But he’s fleecing his base outright.

    I wonder why the media would leave out some of the fine print.

    “Notwithstanding this allocation formula, a contributor may designate a contribution for a specific participant or participants“. Hahahaha.
