    I don’t know, this seems like something to be taken with a grain of salt. Throughout, the post is dripping with personal contempt for the people he’s talking about. It just seems l…

    Did you even read the piece?

    The author seems to underestimate this Supreme Court’s willingness to make nakedly partisan rulings. Edit: oh here we go. Partisan first amendment issues were perfectly fine to dis…

    And now we see them getting main stream networks on a leash. Edit: Not to mention universities. It’s crazy how quickly civil institutions are being consolidated by the right. They …

    I’m having a hard time imagining where this is useful. If I’m trying to assign to a property, but encounter an intermediate null value in the access chain, just skipping the assign…

    Ok, hear me out. How powerful of a battery would we need to turn the blades and nacelle into a helicopter? And just think. Once it arrives on site, you have a big ass grid storage …

    So what is it that you’re saying is keeping younger people from getting out? Just the knowledge that there may be people out in the world with them who are creepily obsessing over …

    And to add, the lawsuit didn’t lose on its merits, but on lack of jurisdiction.

    What low turnout? Both presidential candidates received more votes than anyone had ever received prior to that.

    Personally, I don’t care what the “media” was saying. I care what the polling data and the election models based on the polling data were saying. They were saying pretty consistent…

    If I confidently declare ahead of time the result of a coin flip, I may turn out to be correct, but my confidence was still unjustified. And furthermore, my getting it right would …
