This is why Islamic countries have more severe punishments for thieves. At worst, they never commit a third offense.

Insightful and nuanced comment. The disconnect I see a lot between where I stand, and your average 2026 "proud Democrat" is this: They believe humans are perfectible, and therefore that the plan should be to keep transferring reso

Reminds me of seeing posts from my local police department where baby formula was being stolen -- in quantity -- not by mothers, but by garden-variety criminal dudes, who resell it because it's valuable. It's also, believe it or n

Some people can't stomach the idea that some individuals can be blamed for their own bad behavior, so this lie that all crime must be society's fault is the only way they can avoid rethinking their worldview. I believe that most p

If you believe we can just fix poverty and drug addiction with some government program, I have a bridge to sell you. So far, no one has, anywhere in the world. Many people (and once they get themselves addicted to something bad, that rises

Other than those who commit grave offenses of bodily harm, I reserve my greatest disgust for the type of dirtbag who imposes these orders-of-magnitude greater costs on other innocent people for such a relatively low "reward." They

It seems to me like whole Western countries, especially Britain being outside the EU and Eurozone and with its own currency, ought to have at least one big domestically-based option for something this fundamental. It’s an odd thing to have

Thing is, Apple has no standards for keyboard navigation of native UIs to bring back, except if you turn on the accessibility feature I think called “Full Keyboard Access” which is supposed to let you tab to any control instead of only text

So, we could just dump it on the salt flats in Utah? Plenty of places are already super salty, so nothing lives there (unless it’s able to handle that).

by xp84 5mo ago
I just realized that future archaeologists will be tracing our roads using the salt residue!

by xp84 5mo ago
It’s not going to be pure NaCl though; making Morton salt with it would make sense only if it wouldn’t cost more to process it (net of its resale value) than just disposing of it somewhere not particularly sensitive. I’d propose the Utah sa

Democrats don’t have 51 either, because they don’t believe in persuading voters anymore, just performing for their most dedicated fans.

I literally had to interrogate an LLM to explain what this was about, because to me, indeed, when I see 169.254 I think "Ah, someone unplugged something critical and the network is now completely down." I didn't even know tha

Have you used a mail client that supported these IMAP labels, though? Genuine question. I learned of their existence from your comment! I found this: It looks like besides the folder kludge, Gmail does expose them via their own documented b

Case in point, the several proud Democrats I've offended, who can't refute any of this reality, the downvote being their only copium.

I'm pretty sure knot techniques can't be copyrighted, so nobody owns it or has the exclusive right to name it. Someone can call it the Ham Sandwich knot if they want. Who cares? Besides, I'm pretty sure Ian has done a lot mor

I can still remember as a teenager having to bend down and re-tie my shoes multiple times a day, and then in my early 20s I received Ian's hardbound book[1] as a gift, learned this knot, and just like that, I simply never had to do tha

I'm excited for you - this knot works incredibly well at staying tied, but what's even better is that compared to the standard "double knot" this is much, much easier for you to purposely untie - simply pull the string l

I do a similar quality check when tying a square knot (right over left, left over right but without the bows - probably the default knot for something you don't intend to ever untie and don't have a Scout's encyclopedic knowl

Wow, he even made navigation that puts the links on little shoelace ends. Indeed, this is the kind of thing that was widespread, and which the soulless modern net never has.

I adopted this about a decade ago as what I tie shoes with, and I have done it for things like my kids' athletic shoes. And the advice about the accidental granny knot[1] is really life-changing. For anyone whose bow sits vertically af

No lies detected. It’s mystifying that the party that only welcomes highly educated people is the one who never learns.

All the tariffs were stupid, Trump is mostly stupid and completely corrupt, but voters felt a justifiable need to punish the Democrats for a presidency where they were gaslit every day. Inflation? What inflation? And the economy is great, a
