If they overreach, which most parties do when given the opportunity, there are elections in 2 years and then 4 where they can be reprimanded and power can be reallocated. If it’s truly bad policy it can be changed.

I think they are referring to the anti-liberal authoritarian left wing that has gained a foothold not only in the DNC but into the mainstream culture in certain ways. But "left-wing fascism" is a thing, or at least and idea, that

I'd be curious to get more information on that. For example, it isn't only Mexicans and Central Americans coming through the southern border. Around 25,000 Chinese nationals have been apprehended on the southern border by the midd

This is the classic motte-and-bailey scenario - that the entire radical gender movement is just trying to be nice to trans people. But overlooking trans women competing against biological women, biological reality, critical gender theory be

I don’t know if that’s true or not but “sanctuary cities”, “Abolish ICE”, blue city mayors complaining about a migrant crisis, and Venezuelan gangs taking over apartment complexes don’t inspire confidence.

If the issue was immigrants in general then possibly. But it’s about illegal immigration specifically and complete disregard for law and order when it comes to the millions crossing the border illegally and being encouraged to do so in many

I don’t think it’s as tribal as you think. At the margins yes, there are wing nuts both ways. But Trump got a lot of votes he didn’t get before and Kamala got fewer than Biden. Inflation has been a shocker. The border being flooded is terri

Republicans did a great job mobilizing voters. They’ve learned from the tactics the Democrats pioneered and it worked well. Things like early voting, etc. This election will be a landslide but looks like and I believe in large part because

Doesn’t matter as it still looks cool when you run it and step away for awhile so all passers-by assume serious business is going on.

Sounds like rhizomes. These are not uncommon in plants. Bluegrass lawn for instance spreads this way. But yes I never imagined a similar thing with trees.

The main thing is to be sure to do them and not ignore them. They're "engagement surveys" and the first metric to determine engagement is if the employee engaged with the survey in the first place.

I would never treat them as anonymous. Expect that even if told they are that at some point someone could access your answers, for whatever reason they may have. I don't think you need to lie on them but I'd probably hold personal

Agreed. And "personal metrics" can also end up having a lot of consequences that were not planned for. Incentives are tricky that way. There's always a long tail of things that need to get done on occasion that doesn't s

It takes longer and requires more effort for me to vocally ask my car to change the fan/temp/seat (heat,cooling,position)/etc than to simply bump a switch/knob. I love a screen for configuring my front dash and another o

Ha sorry, weird auto-correct. Was meant to say “great omelette”.

Cast iron is nice for certain things. However they lack any type of finesse. You can’t reliably change pan temp quickly and that’s often desirable.

It’s hard to talk to cast iron zealots. They’re usually people that never seriousky cooked before and went from cheap, thin steal pans to cast iron and assume all pans are like the thin pans they had before. Cast iron is fine for certain ap

It’s the best thing ever. However if cleaning many things I highly recommend gloves. Will leave your hands feeling odd for awhile otherwise.

This is a stack ranking layoff. They will fill the roles with new roles to teams they believe are more vital to achieving company goals. Pretty much every tech company has operated this way the last couple years. They’ve fired 10-20% and ha

That phase is called consolidation. It’s part of the cycle. The speculative over leveraged and mismanaged companies get merged into the winners or disappear if they have nothing of value.

He gets basic facts wrong in his blog though. For instance the rewards are for referring people to sign a petition that says you support 1a and 2a. You need to be registered for your voice to count. He’s not paying them to register but rath

You’re not obligated to do anything like vote or vote a certain way. Money is speech and it’s an advertisement. That’s just some random blog. I’m sure Musks’s lawyers understand what they’re doing. Frankly I find it inspiring he cares enoug

You can vote for whomever you’d like. His PAC isn’t asking you to prove you voted or voted for a particular person to get the money. They’re just generating buzz and interest in the candidate they feel is better.

I’m a Tesla fan but I have to say anecdotally that it seems like Teslas represent an outsize number of bad drivers in my observations. Is it the FSD that’s a bit too aggressive and sporadic? Lots of lane changing, etc? They’re up there with

He’s not doing anything activists haven’t done for years to get out the vote. In college famous rock and hip hop groups would come on campus to play shows that had voter registration tables upon entry and lots of messaging about who to vote

1-2-5-10 vs 1-2-4-8-16. Looks like 16 and 12 (1-2-4-6-12) are better than 10. What are you even trying to say?

> Yes, that's what survivor bias means. I understand that which is why I described it to a person that appeared to not be familiar with it. I wasn’t speaking to you though. So I’m not sure why you’re replying to me about it lol.

It's because they're built by tax dollars and the last thing you want to do is be seen to be wasting tax dollars on frivolous things. Nice private schools look great because the clientele expects that and pays for that aesthetic.
