But they DO have a patent for it, so don’t think about marketing one yourself

Honestly - what other outcome was there? I am too cynical to believe that the government would have outed Black programs as reasons for sightings, and there isn't a shred of conclusive evidence for anything else. Also, does hypersonic

> For a period of time she responded to that harassment by imitating the rhetoric of her harassers Such a cunning rhetorical device that it became indistinguishable. What utter dreck.

This was between 2x-3x the price of other Toyota dealerships, not in the area.

Your post resonates with me so deeply. The Toyota dealership near me wanted close to 1k for a 90k service, and the add-ons and labor charges. Almost fainted.

True, but in defense of the F-35 it also can't fly very far

I take your point here, but bristle a little bit on the "bog-standard", given the truly amazing engineering that goes into modern airliners

Interesting comment about the XWB. The hype-driving is obviously necessary - nothing is ever more than ~5 years away, because that is the limit of VC/consumer patience.

Maybe that’s a touch too specific. But Igor me, it’s a lot easier to strike up a rapport on a walk to get coffee than scheduling a 30 min quarantini, a word I have grown to detest

Kinda interesting how “going the extra mile” in the US is viewed as ineptitude in either planning or execution in Germany. Also how the phrase “this is unacceptable” is used very differently in the same places.

I agree - not sure there will ever be this kinda leverage again in our lifetimes

Think a lot about the Friends episode where Rachel starts smoking, to join in on smoke-break chat.

Does that prevent, or more expose?

I always thought I would be a sure-fit for permanent WFH, but your comment absolutely nails it. My biggest problem is that a large proportion of interactions with remote work is formal, in a sense. No casual chat, no social “grease”. If you

This article is definitely written from the perspective of a novice without real-world experience. Empiricism is not a dirty word!

Positively uncomfortable for long periods. Having sat in a number of MB seats in aircraft museums for short intervals, this is exactly the wrong seat to choose for comfort. They are quite adjustable though, interesting provenance: https:&#

So it is the ability to undo, and sort tweets into collections. Not a twitter user, so very curious for those who are - is this worth $3 a month?

If you think that an armed response is the only remaining response, you are misguided and naive. Your example shows again how you see violence as inevitable and justified, which intimates to me a blinded worldview.

by iab 5y ago
Not only is it relevant, it has been the basis of my entire argument. Whether or not someone does something awful because they lack the ability to express themselves any other way apart from violently, isn't a failure of mine. That lie

It is in everyone's interest to prevent this, everywhere. However, the argument as it is being framed is that armed violence is an acceptable, proportionate response to slights from the private sector. There is no acceptable basis for
