“How do we get to that end state with the least amount of devastation, the least amount of human misery, the least amount of death?”
The word “herd,” he says, “has connotations that it doesn’t deserve.”

At least the third undeterred nerd I've heard that referred to herd, and I'm afeard we are still confirmed uncured.

I installed Ubuntu a few years ago on a partition just out of curiosity. Then one day while it was updating itself, it crashed so hard that I could no longer dual boot - couldn't run it, or update, nothing. Basically, unless I decided to reformat the partition, I'd lost a chunk of my drive for absolutely no gain.

In my totally uneducated opinion, it's an OS designed by assholes for people with a lot of time on their hands.

I just know you were always the first in class to put your hand up for every question.

Nope. I was the shy one.

Bonus points for being both funny and right.

@LuFins-Dad said in Mitch's hands:

Was it because they pissed you off or was it some kind of anesthesiologist prank/dare?

We were doing a portacaval shunt (a procedure done for cirrhosis). Surgeon got into some serious bleeding, and, because the patient's arms were tucked at his sides, I had no access for giving more blood in a hurry. I had the patient in a head-down position, and there was this big, fat juicy vein standing out on his forehead....

Nice!

The democrats have nothing to complain about with this. It appears that all rules are being followed.

For the previous one during the end of President Obamas president, I think that they have a reason to be a bit mad.

But that is in the past. You must move forward.

@Axtremus said in Trump to unveil healthcare plan:

Now we know @Larry draws his healthcare comparisons with whatever he thinks he remembers from the early 1970s, before the HMO Act was signed into law in 1973 by Richard Nixon (a Republican, just in case @Larry forgot).

Whatever he thinks he remembers, @Larry simply do not know the facts.

Were you there, ass wipe? No. I was. I'm fully aware that Nixon signed it into law. I'm also fully aware that it was Edward Kennedy and the democrats who wrote the bill and stuck it into a bigger package, and I'm aware that Nixon didn't have line item veto. So fuck you. Go take some piano lessons or something so you can actually play music instead of the epileptic seizures you have now.

So Scaramucci was Trump’s communications director for exactly 11 days. He came in with a splash and left with one - - basically fired by a brand new chief of staff (John Kelly).

His tenure was so short it became the butt of jokes and people started jokingly measuring time in ‘Scaramuccis’. Like someone else would get fired and people would joke “well he did last 17 Scaramuccis” or whatever.

So it’s funny to see Scaramucci himself use the reference.

That area's rife with that kinda shit. ...And then of course there's the Tybee nuke.

And you'll still be 18 years older than me.

Scratch that. 18.5

But, at least I can play the kazoo, which is more than (cough) some people here can say.

You think each new Administration is going to hire over two million folks?

Nah, me either.
