To clarify the headlibe: early voting this cycle has exceeded early voting last cycle.

Proof /s

Avuncular - of or having the qualities of an uncle.

“His avuncular joke was both lazy and sexist”

This will definitely cause pause amongst the non-cost sunk companies. They will be wondering what Apple knows.

IMO this signals the lack of clear ROI versus maintenance costs. Silicone Valley is used to funding huge projects like Amazon which took years to choke out the competition and make money. But AI is a new market which is more interesting to investors than people who didn’t want it in their mouse.

Too far

Growing up rural there were lots of troubled kids everyone basically ignored. Nothing would get through to them so their outbursts were basically ignored. One kid has a tic where he’d yell “yee haw, stick it in your grandma!”. Over and over.

Also political considerations. If Boeing fails to bring the astronauts home then there will be likely many many test that need to be passed before they get another crewed mission contract. They are already +$1B in the hole because of past problems. It might be that they could not afford to continue with their space program. A loss for Boeing, a loss for NASA diversity.

Logically just burning up the capsule makes sense but the fall out likely has multi multi billions of dollars in the balance.

Why? Is what they were missing from being a tolerant human a little advertising?

What a stupid comment

Yuck

With a side to seagull teabag?

WTF was she going to eat? Maybe the seagull was doing her a favor

It’s our Pale Blue Dot

I, for one, trust hand written warnings from “Low Quality Facts” account

True! But I’m not under the illusion that I am in magical whale mist.

Favourite word in the English language: snarge.

If you are whale watching and get the most from a blow hole, know that you are being sneezed on and are covered in millions of bacteria

Get the credit cards at a low commitment hoping the frogs don’t notice the water starting to boil

I’m sure your grandparents are lovely. My thoughts were more with the decision makers from that era. How peace and acid translated into oppressive views of women

I know it’s an unfair comment to make but it’s in response to generic older generation pissing on the next, saying how things were better in their day.

The vast majority of boomers I’ve met have been kind. But there’s an element of the old men on tv victim blaming that got me thinking it’s a pattern from their idealized days when women “knew their place” and the “negro man” wasn’t so complainy

Maybe my shower thought was too harsh sounding.

Should have clarified: in public. Trains, stop lights etc. nose picking is fine in private. Don’t want to see you rolling that booger

Picking your nose with your thumb. It’s still picking your nose!
