  • I dunno though, Italy didn't even form as a kingdom until the 1860s, so an entire culture formed as an afterthought seems perfectly Italian.

  • Perhaps an intimate NYT piece about an ICE agent of Somali descent after the recent tragedy in Minneapolis with the closing lines:

    The work we do is important, and is an integral part of our freedom and security. Eat Fresh.

  • people argue that their actions brought fascism now to avoid worse fascism later.

    See, now that's interesting. There was only one major organized movement around a policy change during the election, and it wasn't about the timing of implementing fascism.

    And it lost, as the policy did not change.

    Even today the losing party is taking the Whig party strategy of trying to avoid the issue. The Whigs famously failed as a party and ultimately allowed Slavery to spiral as an issue until America Civil Warred over it.

  • I used a coffee maker for 10 years and to replace it my in-laws got me a nice espresso machine. They're into coffee. I am not.

    See, I'd always make a pot of black coffee and pour it into some instant hot cocoa instead of cream and sugar.

    When I do the same with fancy espresso shots now I feel like I am directly assaulting Italia.

  • Well first there's the cutting technology. Scything is ancient. Industrial production of push mowers using cylinder blades were developed in the 1800s and the more modern gas powered rotary cutters came along in the 19th century with many other self-propelled and automated mechanisms. This started with coal and wood fired agricultural equipment used for processing, like threshing and winnowing. As internal combustion engines (gas powered) developed in the 20th century more equipment and processes could be incorporated on-site and in-field.

  • Hell yeah, come on back up from the Baja.

    (Will Sasso impressions have supplanted most of my reference to him these days.)

  • "Should" typically means "must" in the legal sense.

    But also consider that getting ICE to leave their agent out to dry would would go a ways in breaking their sense of invulnerability. Same dynamic as getting a police union to dump a cop in the courts.

  • In the video the agent just calmly holsters his firearm and just walks towards the wreck without even looking at any other agents.

    Videos of the scene pretty categorically disprove DHS's statement in every way and word.

  • It does look like the link and post have been 'labeled by moderation' and I don't see it now. The other link posted in this thread with another perspective seems to still work.

  • I have a coworker that does this and they think it's keeping everything above board but instead they just create openings for opposing councils to second guess and cast doubt on internal processes.

    Those kinds of calls are for making determinations and decisions, not airing concerns and greivances for the record.

    People's note taking aren't always accurate and they aren't taken under oath. Even when there's nothing even closely illicit being discussed, it's not stenography. Best hope you can defend the veracity of your notes in a deposition or before a judge.

    All assuming that's a feature of your job, of course. Otherwise it's probably entirely irrelevant.

  • Our old fridge still works but the icemaker and water dispenser broke and then started to spray outside and leak inside if connected.

    But we kept it and put it in the garage and keep beverages in it. Man does it feel opulent to have a garage drink fridge.

    Kind of like when I became able to afford paper towels. Pure wealth and extravagance.

  • whataboutism Lockwarden

    So you know the greater context then, of the British in Tibet, at the very least.

  • How much is the obesity costing the employer or slowing their profitability?

  • The British Empire, whistling innocently.

  • Stalemated boondoggles are the point, and Russia is probably the most well equipped to satiate the industry with military surplus and bodies. They don't need to be conventionally arms racing in this economy. No nuclear power really has to.

  • Yep

    Jump
  • You just can't do both.

    Road Not Taken and all that.

  • I suggest all people who voted to raise our premiums by 3 times should have their health insurance taken away.

    In a sense that is precisely what is happening. Just with a lot of collateral damage.

  • squints
