Every time somebody says this it always makes me think of the scientist from the expanse.

We should definitely release those files it would be really helpful.

I still have a Texas instrument scientific calculator. I have never found a calculator app that I like better.

Put of course I was actually allowed to bring it into an exam which would definitely not possible with a phone.

It's like how they put the word gate after something to say that it is a scandal involving the former word.

Somesort of political scandal involving road maintenance? Oh yes well that's roadgate then. Even though the Watergate scandal was in fact it scandal in the watergate hotel, rather than a scandal about water.

I guess water is cheep enough.

Still kinda obnoxious though. Like they couldn't see that the ultra high water usage was the thing that would get the most pushback from?

Oh, oh that's not on at all. He isn't that guy from Castle.

He's that guy from Firefly. His most acclaimed show, that went on for years (don't check).

It's a universal trait of the right. You have not lived a full life until a Pakistani taxi driver in London tells you how there are too many immigrants in London.

I don't understand why they even need to use up water. Water cooling does not require you to evaporate the water. You can just keep it as a closed system and reuse the water.

If nuclear power plants can manage it which would be easy for a server farm

My sister is pregnant and she keeps texting me baby names.

I've tried telling her that it's perfectly acceptable to have a boring name. She has a boring name, I don't have a boring name I have a unique name, and I really wish I had a boring name.

Ultimately though you can stay safe by not naming any kid after a TV series character when the series has not yet completed, I.e. Khaleesi and ensuring the name is spelt in the normal manner, and not something like Kylie but spelt Kailee

That's definitely what it turned into.

But it was originally designed with good intentions and actually initially it worked too, the problem with our democracy is that it's very old and no one ever updates it. Just look at the absolute mess that is copyright law.

The system was designed when there were loads of little parties, and they all had a fairly equal chance of winning an election. Then all the parties started to consolidate and we ended up with the three-party except it's really a two-party situation that we now find ourselves in. No one intentionally designed things like this it's just how things ended up. And now all the billionaires are taking advantage.

If we ever do change the system, whatever we replace it with, needs a stipulation somewhere that it will not be fit for purpose indefinitely, and it isn't intended to be a forever solution.

Yeah, but "do your own research"

They come into the bedroom at 6am to ask if don't ducks have feet.

Yeah but you can get stoves that look just like that. A lot of them are actually induction these days rather than radiant, the main benefit being it doesn't heat the kitchen up to sweltering temperatures.
