   They allowed it to grow past what they can control. They just didn't anticipate the risk.

   I'm right there with you. I voted for Bush in 2000 based on his education platform; when it was clear the war was a major mistake that he wouldn't admit to, I tried to vote him out in 2004.

   To me the biggest crime is in how they figure out what I need. They should let me ask. Period.

   Sometimes they also get lucky. IMHO, to actually find the right partner for you in your early 20s is damn lucky.

   The Amoeba is most problematic in warm fresh water bodies. However, a couple of years ago a woman got infected from a neti pot- scared the crap out of me[1]. I now always boil the water. [1] https://www.cbsnews.com/news&#

   Update: Reagan National apparently doesn't have a tower nearby, so it doesn't need to be on the list.

    If Nordic is being honest that the issue is safety- preventing users from diddling with their software and accidentally making it unsafe, then they can simply install a browser so the users can view what they wish online.

    Here's the list of the 50 airports with 5G buffer zones. At least the Feds will be eating their own dog food: Neither Reagan National nor Dulles are on the list (nor is Baltimore-Washington International, for that matter). Edit: The

    Thank you. In all these discussions what's curiously overlooked is exactly what the testing revealed.

    This is interesting. I once calculated the approximate number of weeks I had left to live and wrote it on my whiteboard, estimating my lifespan from family history and trends (+ 4 years/generation for my family's men). I subtrac

    Yeah they probably have done a ton of research. I look at the Surfside collapse and think, "nope, not buying in Miami."

    Same with Boston. If not actually planning, then at least discussing.

    I've been working on this lately and I must say this is the first time I've seen "working on the highest priority items at the expense of lower priority items" framed as procrastination. In the literature it's alwa

    Sorry I'm so late in my reply. I largely agree with you. After reading the "manifesto" of TST I find that it's much more to my taste (although keeping "Satan" in the name is a bit much of an "inside joke

    I only recently learned that the Satanic Temple split from the Church of Satan. The ST moved next door (to Salem, MA).

    Could you clarify what you mean by "LGTM?" Just people saying, "looks good to me" and doing crappy reviews, or is there some LGTM "thing" out there that everybody will use? Or something else?

    So, I looked at this and the only thing I can see is that the price doesn't update as you add options (larger size, engraving) etc., until you add to cart and then view the cart. So G may think that's misleading: It's not g

    I'm not sure it's necessarily negligence. I can also see the scenario where they feel forced to monetize the data if their competitors do. All it takes is one morally bankrupt decision (or negligent, if we're being charitab

    This is the real problem. All meetings should be public and a matter of public record. We may need some workarounds for Defense/Sensitive issues, but standard conversations need to be disclosed.
