“Absolute power corrupts absolutely”

The gold standard, IMO

Correct, apparently and unsurprisingly this is just virtue signaling.

What a strange thing to think. They might not be physically imposing but they sure are in many other ways.

Though I’m generally familiar with the process of mining, I wasn’t clear how noise could be such a problem. TIL:

A single mining machine can produce sound levels of 70 to 90 decibels (dB), comparable to a vacuum cleaner or a busy street. When aggregated in large-scale operations, the noise can be heard over long distances and has led to health complaints and legal challenges from nearby residents.

…you sexy reptile!

The cover image looks like he’s trying to make farting noises with his mouth. Not that that’s much different than anything else that comes out of it.

Texas senate: “rules for thee, not for me”

Love this idea. Start a donation somewhere. People will pay for this.

Big fan of affordable housing so don’t get me wrong but “affordable housing construction” is not equal to “affordable housing availability”. I do hope this trend continues though.

“…officials say the bass were donated for consumption”

… and how does that work exactly?

For the lazy:

The airport will add new, nonstop services to Jacksonville, Fla., Memphis, Tenn., Milwaukee and Reno, Nev. in 2025.

No no no, see:

FBI Director Christopher Wray said that his sentence should serve as “a stark warning to all those entrusted with protecting national defense information: betray that trust, and you will be held accountable.”

They mean business! For real this time. No take backs. While supplies last. Void in some states. Not all locations participate. Some restrictions apply.

You should only vote once. I hear they get angry if you do it multiple times. /s.

In all seriousness though, please vote! Some counties even show how busy the polls are online.

Yum! I do this with tortilla chips crushed slightly and let them soak in the melting butter in the pan while it warms up. Same thing in reverse mostly. Delicious.

Tell me you like grenades without telling me you like grenades.

This right here. Every kid is different and parents should know what they need and be allowed the freedom to choose what’s right for them.

We have a 11 and 13 year old and neither are capable of disconnecting. I mean literally. They will skip sleep, meals and restroom breaks if given that level of freedom. So we have time limits. Reasonable ones in my opinion but still limits.

Also, I work in tech and one of the kids is extremely savvy at pushing boundaries and getting around my security , so I make it a game and give them the freedom to break limits in a controlled environment. This builds trust and teaches them at the same time.

Trust but verify and provide what’s best for your own kids.
