You could get a LTO-9 robotic tape library capable of storing a lot more data than that for a few million.

I don't doubt it will be a tough cycle for Republicans, but off-cycle elections are not very reliable indicators, because gaps caused by differing voter propensity are greatly magnified compared to normal on-cycle elections.

How so? People are justifiably killed in the process of routine law enforcement all the time.

Perhaps not, but you are the one bringing up the context of a criminal trial, which does not otherwise seem relevant.

I think Nyb is talking about cases where it could be clearly demonstrated that the President was not involved in the approval process. Later saying he would have approved it anyways wouldn't cure that.

I think there are two related reasons: one, motivation dies quickly after becoming mired in bureaucracy. Someone who is highly motivated to provide a mentoring opportunity for a group of boys might not be able to find the drive to complete more than a single form, let alone typing up paragraphs of baloney. Same thing hampering science IMO.


Second is legitimate fear of liability. Even if you jump through all the paperwork hoops, even a minor accident can easily result in years of expensive legal wrangling, even if you ultimately win. Insurance against this is expensive and yet scourge bureaucratic hurdle to doing anything.


As usual, if you want to make the world a better place, first kill all the lawyers.

I just finished the CP2077 main storyline yesterday, but I had left a lot of the side jobs undone. I'll definitely be going back to do some of those, but after a while I really miss the humor and sarcasm of, say, GTAV, which makes just wandering around the world fun.

Treason is defined in the literal constitution in a way which doesn’t seem to apply here (who are the enemies of the United States being given aid and comfort to?).




Treason and sedition are two different things.  However, U.S. code does not authorize death as a punishment for sedition.

I finally read The Road by Cormac Mcarthy.  Great book, and hard to put down, with no chapters or any other breaks at all.  I don't know why I mentally associated Cormac Mcarthy with abstruse James-Joyce-style "literary" fiction, but while the book has a large vocabulary and was semi-poetic at times it was not hard to follow.  Might check out some of his others.

They can and have been doing that over the last decade. It's just a nontrivial amount of work and not a high priority.

There's very little developer energy for desktop applications for any desktop platform. Mobile apps and their promise of easy monetization has sucked up most commercial interest, and cloud-backed client apps get most of the rest. Even open source dev energy seems most interested in services, not desktop apps.

Even if you were prevented from selling it for several years, at which point it may or may not be worth anything?  Most people need actual money to live on in real time.

propose a budget that sucks






It was literally the exact same budget that the government has been operating under. The Democrats were in no way opposing changes they disfavor, they were rejecting the status quo.


ETA: A status quo they previously voted for, mind

Yes, the OP is missing that this is not about trust/don't trust, it's about relative trust. Red tribes may not trust the government much, but they trust the media even less than that.
