If Nestle could come up with an additive that they could put into your food to make you eat nonstop until you were overwhelmed by the side effects, they and their competitors would put it in everything. It’s like some sort of sick cynicism, but these companies hurt their costumers all of the time.

Just catching up on some tabs and I encounter this gold -- a supposed pip maintainer on a HN thread who doesn't know how uv works, but is fully convinced they do and can't understand why someone would want to use it.
A text-based forum thread arguing about features of pip vs. uv.

I agree -- and in a similar vain, TMZ entering the halls of Congress can only serve to improve the journalistic integrity of news organizations that have allowed sex pests and abusers shelter from their crimes.

Told my wife to have dinner ready at 6 or I'll obliterate her entire civilization.

So anyway, she now charges me a fee to use the bathroom that used to be free, and I didn't get any dinner, but I'm pretty sure I won that exchange.

Donald Trump is unfit to serve as the leader of the free world. That's why I have cosponsored H. Res. 939 Articles of Impeachment to remove him from office.

An important thing to remember about the Iran War, at the strategic level, is that there was never any reason for it to start, there's no reason for it continue, and the people involved are too stupid to allow it to end

If someone showed up at my house with 2 tons of KitKats I would say nothing. I would invite them in. I would help them unload the goods into my basement. My neighbors would not say a word. The candy would be safe with me I’m putting this info online publicly just in case anyone needs to know.

It's still bonkers that "fearing for your life" is an acceptable reason to whip out a gun perform an execution. The words "fear" and "feel" do not appear in the guidance for the use of deadly force by the Justice department (maybe I shouldn't point this out...)

The cycle of this feels very lame: * ICE does kidnapping and shooting American citizens * I send an email to my R elected officials who do nothing (and by all available information, like the way things are going). * That's it. That's the workflow.

Good to know Kristi Noem's on the case, she can simply take the National Weather Service out back & shoot it
Screenshot from an article: "U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said Saturday it was difficult for forecasters to predict just how much rain would fall. She said the Trump administration would make it a priority to upgrade National Weather Service technology used to deliver warnings."
