Dealing with climate change by deploying solar, storage, and other technologies during the day, and as a first responder at night. he/him

Just handing the next Nic Cage plot to him:

"Billionaires have carved up the US government, and only one person has the courage and knowledge to track it all down and get it all back."

The guy that build Cul de sac in Tempe does site Lyft as one of the modes that make car free living doable, among a long list, including public transit. too bad so much of the built environment continues to be for car storage.

The next step toward madness will be Gaetz replacing Bondi. Maybe Anthony Weiner cabinet position.

If only Kim Kardashian had turned to snails to divine her bar exam outcomes, she could have probably saved herself quite a bit of money.

Have you considered approaching Zenni Optical about a partnership?

That feels like the more accurate take.

I'm trying to decide if this is because he doesn't know about Sikhs, or can't remember the generally darker skinned group's name, or if he's doing it for racist reasons and using the neo pagans white nationalists as a red herring.

In order to get the immersion-like experience, I think augmented reality would be a better move. A full on VR headset would be fine for relatively short periods, but longer sessions would be pretty cumbersome.

I learned Arabic in a classroom, 8 hours a day, five days a week, for 16 months. That was not a great way to learn language. I think they should have shipped us to Jordan - it would probably have been cheaper than Monterey.

It's going to be even more unpopular when I start pushing the idea for men to sit down to pee (certainly at home).

I guess we haven't shared the memo that politics isn't just about the next election, it's about making things better for millions of people. The mid-terms were never a consideration.

This event led some of my local facilities managers to reconsider: www.khou.com/article/news...

Oddly, all of the huge, long last, extremely toxic fossil fuel fires don't trigger the same concerns, for some reason.

And maybe the person that would have discovered it anyway was the woman whose research Watson used without crediting?

Also, he's firing all the logisticians and project managers in favor of some guys that are sneaking in the steroids.

What's the age on the range? I've never fixed a range, but I've replaced a bunch of clothes dryer heating elements.

I have a new induction range with an air fryer built in range. Wife wishes we had a normal oven and kept the separate air fryer. Cat's walk on controls, but haven't turned it on, yes.

But I also know that we don't just engage in wasteful decades long police action - our ability to project power also means that we were the first on scene to provide emergency relief at scale in the wake of the 2004 earthquake/tsunami, again, across oceans.

Contrasting that with Russia, that struggles to support soldiers and sailors in regions on their own borders. The corruption and ignorance that Trump is introducing to the DoD will significantly weaken our ability to project power. Given how we have used it, maybe that's not terrible.

For all the talk of Iraq and Afghanistan being "failures" it wasn't due to a lack of military power - it was due to ignorance and lack of strategy at the extreme high levels of governance. The US military was a logistics powerhouse able to deploy massive resources, simultaneously, across oceans.

Man, Republicans are really leaning into this "starve the most vulnerable at home and abroad" platform. That's fucking amazing.

I agree with the content, but if there was ever a time to use Alt Text, this is it.
