In a situation where perhaps time is of the essence, there seems to be a little bit more urgency, but there was no urgency here.

Same reasoning applies with a corpse.

Do it. At least destroying that abomination would be the end result.

Derp. Yes. I dropped a “reverse”.

You’re thinking of c/showeraneurysm, c/showerstrokes is… something else.

I reverse Dutch auction it. Every time the estimate is asked for/confirmed/reconfirmed/queried it goes up.

He thinks the ‘A’ is for America.

Duh.

Guns Akimbo touches on this near the start.

“Guns are actually really loud”

If you count drawing on his bedroom walls in ‘gold’ crayon.

I use it for doing tedious work as a programmer.

Note that it’s not replacing anyone, it’s just making me more efficient.

My recent usage (jargon warning) was to get it to monitor metrics from seven hosts while I scheduled heavy work loads on the hosts to find bottlenecks.

One could probably argue that the second amendment authorizes you.

“the their parents should have made better choices”

Yes. Because people are not the only observers.

What qualify as observers though? Or, how far divorced from an event counts as unobserved?

If a tree falls in a forest and scares a rabbit which a dog barks at which I hear… is that chain of observation enough to grant existence to the tree?

If anyone can see through Vance, it is Trump himself, who despises flip-flopping, unless it involves himself.

The PM is the most prominent representative in the public eye. They are the figurehead of the government.

When the government is failing (by any definition) that figurehead is the one who ‘takes one for the team’. Occasionally another Minister might be the one to take the fall for a particularly egregious failure in their department.

The party in government nor the officials in the public service change. Just the figurehead… Do nothing actually changes, nothing is done to address the actual problems causing the government to ‘fail’.

This is more or less true in all Westminster style parliaments. In the US, for example, having the king president fire their Secretary of whatever department tends to be the M.O.

In short: Rearranging chairs on the Titanic.

Steve Balmer is a pill.

What is it with Steves in technology being just the worst (Woz is Woz, not Steve).

It’s a pretty shallow pool too

He hired ‘his pool guy’ to do it. So it’s just an exercise in funneling some money to an acquaintance.
