That all looks so good. If only I could abide fish....

@horace said in Going camping...: The water would just accumulate in my stomach while I remained dehydrated, as I sweated faster than it absorbed. I've had that happen a couple of times myself. Really the only solution I've found is to slow the hell down and get into some shade. I've become pretty good at knowing how much I'm exerting myself, and when it's hot as balls with direct sun and all inclines, sometimes I'll slow down to 20 or 30% what I'm capable of doing, for exactly that reason.

@axtremus said in Michigan Senate Report on the November 2020 Election: https://misenategopcdn.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/99/doccuments/20210623/SMPO_2020ElectionReport.pdf The four Michigan state senators who authored the report comprise of three Republicans (including the committee chair) and one Democrat. From the report: This Committee found no evidence of widespread or systematic fraud in Michigan’s prosecution of the 2020 election. I'm glad that the evidence of fraud they found did not rise, in their estimation, to the level of "widespread" or "systematic".

@renauda said in 800%: @horace said in 800%: @renauda said in 800%: Nothing a "whiff of grapeshot" can't sort with the rabble. Been done before, why not do it now? Because the leftist culture won't allow it, of course. Law enforcement hurts their feelings. Then I guess you'll just have to hurt their feelings. Hurting their feelings causes the whole country to riot. It's a vicious cycle.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/23/peloton-reportedly-disabled-free-running-on-its-treadmills.html It's a stupid mistake for sure, but it looks like they are trying to make it right. They are waving three months of subscription fees while they work on a software update to bring back "free run" without requiring subscription.

@george-k said in "The dog ate my gene sequence.": According to the NIH statement, the researcher asked that the sequences be removed from the NIH database because they had been updated and were to be rerouted to another database, the name of which remains unknown. < And it didn't occur to anyone to say, 'K, when we get the updated sequences we'll send back the old ones?

Just because they're out to get you doesn't mean you're not paranoid.

Ha. RJR, Philip Morris.

@lufins-dad said in ‘Whitelist,’ ‘Blacklist’: The New Debate Over Security Terminology: @george-k said in ‘Whitelist,’ ‘Blacklist’: The New Debate Over Security Terminology: Don't get me started on "male" and "female" connectors. All kinds of new adapters today… That reminds me of the Apollo Soyuz mission I remember that they had to jump through hoops to make sure the mating adapter used to dock the spacecraft was neither male nor female. Because it would have been a slight to have one country or the other be the female.
