In the US she’d get a Cabinet seat

It’s one of those, you’ve seen enough articles, time to get on the email list, kinda things.

So business as usual?

We made an automaton clerk. It has neither arms nor body, but it works all day translating physician’s documents, so they may be stored with uniformity in a library that has neither shelves nor paper.

The animal industries have their own lobbying and disinformation campaigns. The pro-corporate media environment is an inextricable part of capitalist society. Their CEOs and those of Exxon et al are all basically saying “we’re doing what we’re permitted to do, it’s your job to reign us in for any social good whatsoever”. Any rational actor in a society that permits this will do this if given the opportunity. They’re products of their environment. Sometimes they’ll get ratioed on X, and agree to some small concession, a mere unconscious twitch of the power of the people causing multibillion $ companies to yelp in terror.

In a way, he’s right. You can’t expect a trillion dollar private company to do anything but maximize profits any way they can get away with. It’s in the interest of the public to overthrow capitalism and the responsibility falls on us to understand this and do this. ExxonMobil exists with the consent of the masses.

Sometimes, somewhat.

You wanna go for start-ups then. Most bigger and medium-sized companies have centrally-managed security where they wanna push updates and such to all computers or there’s some corporate spyware everyone’s gotta run or they’ve got everyone on M$ Office etc etc. Odds are a place that lets you use a linux laptop is going to be reluctant to buy you one and invite you to use your own. Macbooks aren’t so bad, if they let you have sudo, lots of places use those.

I’m a big fan of 120mm for the airflow to noise ratio. They tend to last. You figure they’re doing less revolutions over their life than a high rpm smaller fan.

That’s my point.

I use dawn foaming dish soap dispensers, with non-dawn soap. Suds on demand.

The presidential appointees who struck down Roe V Wade now get an opportunity to let a powerful man off the hook. I don’t see Trump facing the music in his lifetime.

I feel even better replacing a new or old sponge with a brush that will never get that awful sponge smell

I wonder if it has much to do with the USAF being a relatively new service with a proportional cultural impact, coming into being as a service in 1947. Up until then, combat aviation was subordinate to the Army and Navy. This would point to a preponderance of Army/Navy WWII vets among the show’s consultants and audience.
