They’re afraid to be called unfair after he said that they’d be unfair. It’s one of the strategies that us uses to suppress fighting back against his lies and ineptitude.
First, your preemptively accuse someone of something. Second you do awful things that would normally rightfully get a response, but the authorities have to be careful otherwise you’ll accuse them of doing the thing they should be doing. Third, you get your way even though you broke the rules, or you get to yell about how you knew, just knew! That you’d be treated badly.
My feeling was that President Obama kept compromising. It seemed that he was trying to get people moving together and he went too far into the appeasement side of things with the alt right racist arm. It was also the real power growth cycle for Fox News and early online podcast/streamers. They are fast on the backs of the racist counter swell… And we got the fallout over the last decade now.
This is a great list.
I wear loose athletic pants for long flights. Not bedtime sweatpants, but Adidas style pants. I wear comfy shoes, that I unlace once I start napping.
I bring a sweatshirt so it becomes a pillow and something to pull over my eyes if it’s needed.
I also have a couple of airplane blankets and I bring my own. It comes in handy on flights where we cheap seats people don’t get blankets, and in airports when it’s nap time. I roll it up tight and strap it on the bottom of my backpack.
I also bring Sudoku puzzles. It’s a nice diversion from watching videos the whole way.
Video games. I used to play 4-6 hours per day (or often more), every day. It was kind of my default activity when I wasn’t forced to do something else. If I ran out of steam trying to focus on work or family I would drift into playing a video game. The result was a MASSIVE sink of time into something that left me with little afterwards. I didn’t learn new things, I drifted away from my kids, and I didn’t take care of my home.
Video games are fine. They’re entertaining, but they’re also potentially life consuming. I watch people who want to do more with their lives, but instead they just put more time into some game or another.
I managed to kick the habit and it’s been a great 10 years since then where I play very little and only in very short, controlled bursts when I can play with my kids for a bit (they usually destroy me these days). With all of that saved time, my career started flying, my home is in better shape, and I actually don’t drift away from family events like I used to.
I don’t know enough about those to comment. I have not been there yet.
Given how much history and artifacts the Vatican can assemble, they’re likely on the same scale, if on differing topics.
If you’re looking for religious artifact collections, the Bode in Berlin has a huge collection. It’s very deep for Christian iconography, as well as later paintings and sculpture. They also have some Greek materials. If you want Roman sculpture the Altes Museum (especially the rotunda) is phenomenal.
Of course the British Museum is just frakkin amazing end to end. When I was trying to navigate there (I was a bit lost) and wondered what the cluster of people were looking at next to me, and it turned out to be THE Rosetta Stone, holy shit. Worth the trip.
Build some damn trains! Our cities are sprawling car-infested shitholes compared to more modern city designs around the world.
A single freeway interchange costs as much as a big light rail network for a medium sized city. It would transformative to build some modern infrastructure for once.
Combine that with educating city councils on how zoning laws and architectural rules determine how a city’s space is used (usually very inefficiently and with ugly buildings). We’re making a sprawling, bland wasteland out of the beautiful American landscape by sheer ignorance and short sighted greed.
The Night Watch in Amsterdam is enormous. It’s awesome inspiring to stand before it.
The Rijks Museum in Amsterdam was huge. Couldn’t get though it all ina visit.
Same goes for the Natural History Museum in Vienna. Oh! And Berlin’s Museum Island is a wonder of the world. Just so much to see.
I’ll make a note to check Chronicle out.
Jumper. It was setting up an interesting world with more depth than the first movie could delve. I loved that one of the characters was so cool that the author of the original novel went out and wrote another book just about the movie’s character and it rocked.
It’s a phenomenal movie with lots of actually reasonable depictions of sailing in the era.
“What happens when the party is 2 bards and a rogue.”
It’s similar to how when anyone joins a game whose name starts and ends with some mirrored patterns of the the letter ‘x’ they’re likely to be insufferable in some way.
I printed a ton of helper stuff, as well as some house parts. We have a 1920 house, so there lots of odd books and crannies. In the past, I’d buy standard house parts (electrical covers, fixtures, etc) and then cut/mod them to fit. Now, I CAD up a custom part, print it, seal it with a clear coat, and bam! It fits perfectly.
That was some of the neatest benefits to resin: organic shapes. When doing figures, creatures, and plants, resin is better than PLA for the final look and feel. The fineness of the print is also great. That’s a phenomenal Xenomorph and the details really show through.
I’m still in the PLA printing world. It’s plenty sufficient for my electronics projects.
The makerspace here on campus has a resin printer and the results are really cool.
Space key. That way it won’t accidentally enter an actual letter or command that could be passed to the current active application.
That’s not really much of a problem anymore these days (serious issue in WinXP era), but it’s still the safe key, so I use it.
Edit: I totally botched this. I meant Shift key. Derp.
Yes, yes we are. And it’s getting worse in many cultural groups.
