They're still courting the mythical "Republican centrist" that just needs a little push to vote Democrat. They've learned nothing.

Is this the one where they pick the hivemind because there might be invaders from another galaxy, and someone says "I hope we're not too late"? After tens of thousands of years and ZERO alien life in this galaxy?

Is this the last book, where you learn who is really behind the machination of pushing the hivemind? (Pun intended) (wait, that's probably Foundation and Earth.)

Wow, I remember absolutely zero of that. And I LOVED these books. (I last read them in middle school.)

The last book revisits a couple of lost 1st wave Spacer planets (from the Elijah Bailey books). Asimov started tying all his books together as he got older.

But they might have written more after Asimov died?

Oh shit, I just remembered the kid from the last book, and what they did to it at the end. If you hated Edge, you need to read Earth, just for closure. Remember, middle school.

I would gladly pay $700 a month if I knew that money was paying for healthcare. And not lining someone's pockets.

Fallout 3 was my first Fallout game, and therefore an absolute masterpiece. But I've already played it with enhanced graphics and fixed bugs through Nexusmods.

I've heard that Bethesda couldn't be bothered to fix the bugs in Oblivion.

I would filter the word "reaction" but I like chemistry videos. So instead, whenever I see a reaction video, I block the entire channel.

In the 90s there was a huge interest in Nostradamus and his prophecies. Like a dumber Da Vinci code (not as dumb as the Bible code). The one thing I remember from all those stupid TV shows: the forces of the Antichrist would be associated with a certain color hat.

I don't remember if Nostradamus specified a color, but the show I watched used the example of a sky-blue hat. UN troops wear sky-blue helmets.

I had a user come to me with a PDF issue my app was generating. They kept getting the document in landscape, and wanted it on portrait. They were the only user with this issue, and it stumped me. I checked the underlying code, and everything was set to portrait mode, except the last page, which contained a sketch and was set to landscape mode.

I asked him to show me exactly what he did when he made the PDF. Instead of just downloading the provided PDF, he had his system set to open it on Adobe Reader. He would then use a PDF printer (Microsoft, or cutePDF) to save the doc. His printer was set to landscape.

Sometimes I feel I'm burning out because "everything is critical"

I work in my company's internal PR division and one of our tasks is to prepare the daily newsletter that is sent to all of our employees. The slightest mistake this month is becoming reason for public, vocal complaints made by our chief, citing risks to our division's reputation. It's like working in a nuclear power plant's ...

A few years ago I was forced to sign a non-compete "agreement" (under threat of dismissal) that included a clause against saying disparaging things about the company, even after termination of employment.

this post is not a disparaging remark, and merely a statement of fact

"Beer me."

Is it common courtesy to stack your shopping cart back with the other carts?

I don't mean just returning your shopping cart to the cart area, but actually sliding it back in. At my grocery store, some people half ass stack it back in or don't at all. This drives me nuts because when I come to return my cart I have to fix the mess before I can return mine. Plus, I don't want the workers who collect the ...

Of course it is. Not just for the workers but for the exact reasons you've stated.

You don't think there might be some differences between now and a war that happened 150 years ago?

I don't understand you fucking lackadaisical idiots that think everything will just get better if we ignore it. You don't think there's s difference between Donald Trump, MAGA, and fucking Lincoln? My coworkers are CHEERING this on. My neighbors are CHEERING this on. They don't fucking care because they're white and currently on the winning team.

This has fucking happened before. Goddamn Europe in the 30's. Bondi just said they'll remove ICE from Minneapolis if there turn over all the voting records. That's what this is about. They want the voting records so they can cry about fraud again when they lose. Only this time they have a ready built army loyal to Trump and Noam, not to the people.

Wake the fuck up!

Nothing to see here. If you're using the printer at work, expect that there's a way your employer can see what you're printing.

Misleading headline, it's not your printer.
