The guy who was killed had a history or road rage AND of bringing his gun with him during altercations - per a woman identified as his ex-wife.

@George-K said in Not a cat?: @Aqua-Letifer said in Not a cat?: That's likely the stupidest thing I'm going to hear all month. So you didn't watch Trump's speech the debate? Indeed!

Sadly, we can’t all be as rational and rooted in logic as Trump’s supporters clearly are.

Amazing that one can choose to race recklessly sober and the penalties are less for hurting someone than if you drove drunk but within the law otherwise, and ended up hurting someone.

That’s the photo that will usher out American democracy. I won’t feel safe until that photographer is in prison.

I very much recall enjoying his take on the news more than most pundits back in the... 2005-ish era?

So he was born James Donald Bowman (Donald!). Then when he was 6 he became James David Hamel. Then later (after 12?) he became James David Vance (his mother's maiden name).

Your post is sloppy seconds.

The vote-buying money runs out eventually.

It’s hard to imagine a path more guaranteed to incinerate every aspect of your life than actively creating child porn. It seems like instant social death. He has forever destroyed all of his professional relationships, his family, and his friends. Maybe his mother doesn’t abandon him. But maybe she does.

Some Silicon Valley guy was describing the big tech firms’ AI strategy as ‘buy as many GPUs as Nvidia can make and build as many data centers as they need to house them.

When I was at Nasdaq in the late 90s, they ran the quote system on a unisys mainframe using MASM, which was the assembly language of Unisys mainframes. They were replacing the system for decimalization (remember that?) and ran into problems with the new replacement system. They therefore had to update the old system to keep the SEC and congress from hanging them. They called a couple of old timers out of retirement to do the work. One had cancer and months to live. He made them pay him enough to set his family up for the foreseeable future. They had no choice. They would have paid whatever it took.

Only a handful of plants that humans regularly consume are close to their wild forms – such as raspberries. Most others would be unrecognizable to modern eyes. It is incredible to think, therefore, of our ancestors planting these barely edible plants as a supplement to their diet. I think using today’s tastebuds that have been influenced and evolved over countless generations to determine that earlier varieties of fruits were virtually inedible is quite silly. Hell, take a look at apples. When I was a kid, I loved red delicious apples. Over the past 20 years there have been countless new varieties introduced such as Cosmic Crisp, Pink Lady, Raeburn, etc.. The result? A red delicious tastes bland and pointless to me now…
