I dunno, cocaine and MDMA are both uppers. I dont know anything about date rape drugs, but having your victim 120% awake doesn’t seem like a great plan.

Yeah, by all accounts, Newton was a bit of shit. He did a proper number on Robert Hook.

Im still trying to figure out what that means. How does @ resolve to an IP address?

Me too… my first code was for Commodore PET. Then I got an Amiga. Sad day when Commodore folded.

I wish my SO would understand this… she leaves me in the dust (see also comment below)

I’ve worn progressive lenses for nearly 10 years now. I did get one pair on the cheap, and they were truly awful, unusable. That’s when I figured out that going cheap with progressive lenses isn’t worth it. That may be what has happened to you. Even with good lenses, it takes me a few days, maybe a week to get used to them when I get a new pair. Stairs are… difficult though, especially going down. I live in a busy European city, so I use public transport a lot, and that means lots of stairs. I can no longer run up and down them like I used to.

Did they just make it much cheaper to build data centres outside if the US?

You’re still getting this backwards: Trump and Republicans in general want to destroy American democracy. '°Owning the libs" is just a tool to get the working class to vote against their interests.

Kind of fitting for Übermensch.

Vance will be worse. Much, much worse. And it won’t matter that he’s not charismatic because the next elections will be rigged.

Well, if you switch to a command economy, they’d be kind of right…

I’m lucky, I’ll be retiring in 10 years. At that point, I’m going to disconnect. I’ve got plenty of books to read and a guitar. That should keep me happy.

That would kill ATMs and a bunch of other things. Work from home, too, but I doubt the government cares about that much.

I’m just a European trying to figure out what the options are…

Is the republican any better? How easy is it to replace him as the Democratic candidate?

Write, email, telephone- whatever works best for you.

It’s not been ratified yet. Time to put pressure on our MPs.

Indeed, and the kicker is that 4% is on turnover, not profit. That can really hurt.

It’s at least a hefty fine in the EU - enough to kill a business.

This is going to be a wildly unpopular opinion, but I think we have this backwards: they want you to focus on Epstein while they dismantle American democracy. They dont care if Trump gets arrested. There are plenty more fascists to take his place. What really matters to them is the Christian fascists state they want to create.
