If only we had a series of pneumatic tubes connecting all our homes, you could order something online and have it pop up right next to you minutes later.

Well not always - this story is about how for years and years there was a deadlock between the two parties at the FEC that has now been broken by a Democratic board member shocking everyone and siding with the Republicans.

What do all the people downvoting it based on the title assume it means?

Traditionally both parties had to agree to get divorced if there had not been some “grounds” for the divorce that could be proved in court. That’s why the classic business for old timey private detectives was proving that their client’s spouse was committing adultery in order to legally justify a divorce.

Yeah I actually came across this statistic in this article about those guys wanting to make divorce much harder, which linked to the study: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/05/no-fault-divorce-gop-republicans-mainstream-podcast-dudes/

Any time a company is pushing a change this hard I know it’s not something I want.

Thanks. Alternatively with the NY Mag you can just paste the link into a private browser window and read unlimited articles - just make sure to close and then open a new private window for each one.

I obviously disagree with him there, but in a sense that just makes him having the integrity to acknowledge that anti-Zionism does not equal antisemitism more impressive.

The breakup this is referring to is splitting off the Android operating system from the rest of Google.

Goggins is a treasure. Between Righteous Gemstones, I’m a Virgo and Invincible he’s killing it all over right now.

Huh, what’s the logic to doing it on shuffle working better than the original order?

I went back and watched the other old Star Treks after not having watched them when they aired but Voyager was the one that seemed not worth my while. Should I check it out?

Justified is coming up on my list to watch for the first time.

Just finished rewatching Invincible inspired by the new season being out, now just started on The Good Place.

Wow you are unpleasant

Being over-confident in either your pessimism or your optimism is a recipe for inaction or wrong action, what’s important is to try to look at the world realistically.

Eh, I’d say that a problem for someone like Trump or the GOP who spend all their time trying to tear America down is a win for America.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

I don’t think I can agree with you there. Solar power is an incredibly valuable technology, in many ways more so than nuclear. If we were replacing this nuclear energy with increased solar I’d have no complaint. The problem is solar is already growing as fast as it can with or without shutting down any nuclear plants, so what it’s actually replaced with as discussed in this article is fossil fuels. Hopefully the solar curve can catch up eventually and shut down those fossil fuels as well, but it’s ridiculous to ditch nuclear before then.
