In the first movie he is searching for The Ark of the Covenant, but otherwise you are correct.

Windows is emphatically not the same thing as Android. They’re two entirely different OS’s. No doubt you know this, it just seems like you momentarily lost the plot and made it about Windows vs Mac, when what we’re really talking about is iOS vs Android.

Also Columbia owns brands like Prana and Mountain Hardware, so if you want higher quality stuff that’s still basically Columbia, you have plenty of options.

The same is true of many other companies.

I think it’s a case of the tyranny of minor differences and what people are used to. My personal phone is an android and I’m used to it and like it, while my work phone is an iPhone and I use it for entirely different work-related reasons that it’s great for.

Never shall the two meet! I actually like having my work and private lives segregated into two separate OS’s that have little if any overlap.

I have at least a nodding acquaintance with that work and while I think it’s worth considering and talking about, I don’t find it to be at all the most convincing explanation for conservatism and am far more persuaded by conservatism as being motivated by a desire for the preservation of hierarchy that manifests itself through said psychological traits, but that is the ultimate prior that informs them. Otherwise we would expect to see liberalism and conservatism more evenly distributed throughout our population, as with other psychological traits, but we don’t, to the contrary, they are very geographically dependent.

So while I don’t think that psychology has nothing to say about the issue, I definitely don’t think that its the most important factor.

Not really. The real answer is that different parts of the federal government are underfunded or overfunded according to political ideology and expedience. This is a great example; the SSA is underfunded while the military is overfunded which results in clear performance differences.

You’ll never hear a conservative bitch about the US military saying that it can’t do anything right, and it’s like, yeah, duh, because it has a huge fucking budget and basically gets anything it asks for.

Social safety net programs? Not so much.

My father in law doesn’t like music. He doesn’t dislike it either, he’s just indifferent. Apart from that he’s just your garden variety somewhat-curmudgeonly 80-year-old dude.

Dana Designs Arcflex Terraplane backpack purchased in 1994 at Teton Mountaineering in Jackson Wyoming for $400. I’ve since used it to travel the world and apart from having had to replace its foam back-liner and a buckle, it is still perfectly sound in every way.

Dana Designs doesn’t exist anymore, but the guy and organization behind them is still alive and well and making handmade backpacks in Bozeman Montana under the name “Mystery Ranch.”

You can get a Mystery Ranch Arcflex Terraplane that’s basically the same thing as the original Dana Arcflex, only made with newer, better materials and technology.

Also Marty Stouffer. I’m not sure how to do it, but can we please find a way to fit Marty Stouffer into this equation? Is that asking too much? I just don’t want to neglect the great American that is Marty Stouffer.

I’m gonna name my next cat “Marty Stouffer.” It will fit right in with my current cat, “Nancy Reagan,” who doesn’t like you.

I am a union member so this isn’t a thing that happens. If management does something unacceptable, we do a strike authorization vote which, if passed by the membership, starts a clock ticking down to strike time and management knows that they are on notice and need to start negotiations.

All of which is just to say that unions are good for workers, regardless of what kind of bullshit you may have been led to believe.

I’m pretty happy with Google Fi. I realize it’s Google, which isn’t great, but at least they deliver exactly what they say they will and the price is always exactly as advertised.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they are taking a loss on it just to gain market share. They can afford it.

You have to be a tribal member to get casino money. You can’t just roll up and say “I’m a 16th Cherokee, where’s mah money?!” Some tribes have even started to disenroll people, which has led to some ugliness.

That 99% claim seems ridiculously high to me. Do you live in Oklahoma or something?

They were wrong. Spaniards are definitely not considered Latino here.

Good. Karma just incentivizes the monetization of accounts. Without karma there is less incentive for bots and grifters since visibility/prominence/influence can no longer be bought and sold.

Scarcely. Read the majority opinion. It specifically carves out an exception for “creative works” (or whatever the exact term is, I honestly don’t remember) which in effect says that you cannot be forced by law to create something that espouses a position or creed with which you disagree.

As of right now I don’t have a strong opinion on the ruling either way, but I think it’s worth getting what it says right before we condemn it.

I lean towards thinking that it makes distinctions with which I agree, but I’m going to withhold judgement until I learn more about the arguments and we have a better sense of how it’s going to play out in practice.

16-year reddit user of much the same mind. I was a Sync user, but whatever one’s app of choice, if reddit is going to tell us we can’t use it, which is basically what they’ve done, they can get fucked.
