    It bothers me that the scientist spelled it "yellow stone". Perhaps he's referring to a specific yellow stone he found while hiking one day.

    It doesn't. I find AP to be quite biased at times.

    Based on his interrogations of people testifying before Congress, the guy is very smart and a good speaker. You’d think he was a total clown, after the mind fuck that is a run for President.

    I test drove one of Vinfast's vehicle. It performed well and nice for the short duration I drove it. But it also had similar trappings like the other EVs, such as a giant flat screen in the middle of the dash, like a vertically oriented iPad but much bigger, and that's my biggest complaint -- that big glass surface can be blinding to the driver when reflecting sunlight in the wrong angle.

    That sucks. I used to watch them fly by all the time when I lived in Virginia. A very unique sound to them, you could tell when they were going from chopper to plane mode.

    @kluurs said in Bob Barker, RIP: Great memory of Barker. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8YeFYtw/ Wow, I've never seen that. That was pretty damn hilarious and well done! @jon-nyc I saw that online and thought it was really clever!

    @Horace said in Trump's "Hunch" on COVID: @jon-nyc said in Trump's "Hunch" on COVID: What a shitty piece. I don’t even know where to begin. CFR vs IFR? WHO snapshot at a point of time being called “an expectation”, that they seem to think was supposed to be true for all time? Standard of care in March 2020(!) vs 2023? Alpha vs Omicron? Why isn’t it obvious to everyone here how stupid this piece is? Am I that much smarter than everyone? (Horace you can field that one). The numbers were always worst case scenario, not least due to dying with covid vs of Covid. You’re giving all authorities a pass for that, because apparently any motivation to find a reason for amping that number up, was pure. To call it objective science is probably optimistic. And reasonable people can disagree about the purity of the motivations for wanting to present high IFRs to the masses. Don't know about other countries. And I don't know for a fact that COVID deaths were pumped. I do know that some hospitals were using COVID and the Federal dollars that came with that diagnosis, to help their bottom lines. At least in this country.

    @taiwan_girl said in Alito: Congress has no authority: @George-K said in Alito: Congress has no authority: "I know this is a controversial view, but I’m willing to say it... No provision in the Constitution gives them the authority to regulate the Supreme Court—period," he told the Wall Street Journal in an interview. Judge Kagan disagrees a bit. "Kagan said it was unclear what precisely Alito may have been asked when he told the Wall Street Journal "Congress did not create the Supreme Court" and as a result lawmakers do not have the authority to regulate the nation's highest court." But............... "....said there are clearly examples of Congress' ability to regulate the court. The liberal justice did say there were limits though, The Washington Post reported. "Of course, Congress can regulate various aspects of what the Supreme Court does," she said. "Congress funds the Supreme Court. Congress historically has made changes to the court's structure and composition. Congress has made changes to the court's appellate jurisdiction." " https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/courts/kagan-clashes-with-alito-on-supreme-court-ethics-code In context with the Schumer/Alito debate, that argument is kinda irrelevant.

    To me, if it's just seven or eight episodes, it's more of a mini-series. Is there still a place for series on streaming? Say, a 25-30 minute show that drops weekly or bi-weekly, for over 20 episodes? It could be any genre... SF, comedy, anthology, etc.
