Not to mention that without the water retention infrastructure built over the years, increased rainfall wouldn’t be much good.

“Liberal” is a word with many meanings. Not defining is bad enough. Hopping between definitions between sentences and hoping your readers don’t notice is just lame.

Believe it.

The Haitians never did anything to them. It’s just a scapegoat for a systemic anxiety at seeing the world move on without them. Killing some innnocent Haitians will not solve that problem.

Too bad they lack the introspection to realize it, so they are going to do it to group after group, looking for an imaginary racial purity that never existed. Until they are dealt with.

That’s false. They’ll never be happy. They’ll just shift to the next target.

That’s fucking disgusting.

I’m saving this comment so I can make fun of it later.

The bill is a fairly unique U.S. thing.

The argument given back in the day was “energy independence”.

The options (simply put) were 1) give money to shady middle eastern dictators 2) drill in ANWAR or 3) innovate in domestic production (fracking).

Renewables were still not up to par and nuclear was not seriously considered because the carbon thing was still an afterthought.

I’m not condoning this shit, I’m just explaining the state of play as I remember it.

I used the Borland Turbo Vision based UIs a LOT back in the day. They were very good for their time, but they can’t hold a candle to modern user interfaces.

Actually it was bootlegging.

Don’t hint!

Make the decision in secret. Communicate it in secret. Let them get the jump on the Russians.

Then announce it.

On iOS in light mode, the status bar/clock/signal/battery indicator is white on and off white background in the main screens.

This is not ideal because I lose track of time and people yell at me.
