@Loki said in Meanwhile in Minnesoooooota:

The one thing these people want is attention. It’s too bad ignoring them is not a viable option. I know I would. I don’t view it as an aggression toward me just a mental health issue that person is facing. The constant level of anger must make their lives nearly intolerable for them.

Trolls want desperately to be fed.

Agree

I knew that. Very cool.

I saw that recently as well. But in the last year I also saw a documentary on the mystery of the statues and it is amazing that no one thought to look below the surface.

Yes, it seems to be the same solution indeed. In that solution, the partial sums of both clock-wise and anti-clockwise movement are used and I use only one direction (hence my list of partial sums is only singly-infinite, not doubly-infinite), but I think that's a superficial difference.

Nice! But I do have an unfair advantage in this case: It's somewhat similar to things I do for a living (such as: proving termination or confluence of certain state transition systems in theoretical computer science).

Born before WW I

Jolly probably has recommendations for how to handle the coyotes, too.

If only.

You want oppression? Coming right up, sucker.

It is tough. I realize how lucky I am. Things are as "stable" as possible, but I see and hear of so many others with problems and major concerns. Makes mine look very small.

The authors are apparently two folks from the dept. of materials science, and one from the school of dentistry at Athens university.

I wonder if they're undergraduates - there's a noticeable lack of letters after their names.

@Copper said in Trump threatens to move convention if NC restricts capacity:

Skin color is the most important thing right now. But an interesting new gender would help.

Thought we did gender, or decided gender, last year.

Yeah, we really do need a timeline of sorts.

I remember when we were all going to die because of muslims, or terrorists. Something like that, I forget. And, things were getting blown up and such, so that rights had to be taken away for our own benefit. Wait, no, that's now due to Covid, and how it spreads mostly in churches but not at protests. Something like that, I forget.

Seems to me, we should just get it over with. Make all white males guilty without exception, past, present, and future. Except for Marty McFly's dad, also known as the mayor of Portland, also known as Ted Wheeler. He's OK. He's one of us, or one of them.

Ax, help me out here. Is a white male far-left mayor one of us, or one of them?

Thanks, doods!

Unfortunately not in the USA.

Would it work?

Depends on who gets to define ‘work’.

Would you support a system that gave upstate New York a bit more power in the election of statewide officials?

No, I’m an individual rights guy. I don’t like the idea of trying to equalize group outcomes at the expense of treating people the same. It doesn’t matter to me if you define the groups by geography or ethnicity. It’s conceptually the same.

Its OK. He was already buff.

@taiwan_girl said in MAGA Hit?:

A very biased (and maybe misleading) article headline.

From MSN:

Reggie Moore, director of Milwaukee's Office of Violence Prevention, said he recently intervened in a dispute between Trammell and a young man. Moore thought the incident was related to a Trump sign that Trammell was carrying...

Police have not said whether the killing was politically motivated.

Thankfully there is a timeline of protests and violence in Portland that document the violence well before Trump entered the picture. Revisionist history to blame on Trump.

“ Philbin passed away from natural causes Friday night, one month shy of his 89th birthday”

Now this feels personal!

Haha some of those were great

A fair request for sure.

Lest anyone read to much into WAPO’s article listen to the Reagan Foundation interview with Newt Gingrich in June. I did on CSPAN. I think after that you get a better appreciation of overall sentiment of the foundation towards Trump.

And, just like that, the multigenerational family welcomed Brett Aqua's Sister into their midst with an unforgettable evening.
