Interesting tidbit: from left to right, these are ordered by the efficiency of the oxygen transportation, highest to lowest.

Blue blood may be cool, but red blood is better for you.

If I remember correctly, NK generals inherit the medals of their father, so there's probably a medal from the Korean war 70 years ago in there, as well as for any anniversaries thereof.

Whenever I show up to a "mobilization project" which involves lifting and mounting shipping containers of machinery and IT equipment onboard ships, I check whether the containers have had their grounding wires attached, as well as checking if the deck welds have been spray painted with protective coating.
If not, I need to check if the cable runs are properly done, deck fiberoptics protected from crane operations, antenna mounted without obstructions, etc.

Checking random coax cable connections whether they've gotten a proper dose of molycote inside is also a pretty good indicator, but the tech department has gotten really attentive in regards to that. The grounding wire is really the only brown M&M I have left on them.

20 years ago, the right wing propaganda machine was focused on (before they went full out fascist) low taxes for the "job creators" such as corporations and rich people, on the basis of that leading to more lucrative job opportunities for everyone else. The thinking was that the people and corporations in this low-tax environment would have incentives for creating jobs "here" instead of moving them overseas.

Not everyone on that side of the isle have realized that this results in jobs still ending up overseas, along with money that could've funded schools, roads, libraries, et al. And many of those who have realized it continue along the same path because it's too profitable for them to do so.

Remember this next time you hear slogans such as "trickle down economy", or Glitch McConnells favorite: "What's good for the goose is good for the gander".

It's hard to find more compact correctness than this comment right here.

I'll probably kidnap some women, put them in a hole, and give them daily supplies of food and skincare products. It puts the lotion in its skin, or else it gets the hose again.

Previous job: Windows, because it was a company issued laptop. Plus a lot of the company was built around the MS ecosystem.

Current job: Linux, because I got to keep the perfectly decent Dell laptop when I left. I wanted to make sure I purged everything, so it's running LMDE now. Plus, there's not much outlook and teams stuff that I have to use.

Because incineration or proper disposal is not the problem. Gathering and segregation is. Plus, launching that sort of payload is going to be insanely costly.

The sheer volume is manageable as it currentlyis, but it's spread out so much that collecting it properly is going to take a lot of time an effort.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a bit of a misnomer, as it's more of a vague area in which trash tends to collect. It's not like an actual continuous patch that you can easily attack with a net.

Only if your definition of "brave" is the same as the one Apple used when they removed the audio jack.

Morning: Check that it's still there and keeping my body unified
Noon: Check that it's still there and keeping my body unified
Afternoon: Check that it's still there and keeping my body unified
Evening: Check that it's still there and keeping my body unified. Sometimes I shower before bed.

In other words: I don't really have one, and it seems to be working
