Sure, but how do you get them to vote about it?

Turnout at the polls is definitely impacted by:

• knowing something is even being voted on
• being reminded and having expanded how important something is
• just perceiving other people are going to go vote too

and so it’s important to discuss something that’s going to be voted on, even if the audience has already made up their mind.

At Cal-Maine Foods (NYSE: $CALM), the nation’s top producer, quarterly profits have been up an average of 948% since the calamities began in 2022,  compared to the corresponding quarter in 2021.

tl;dr: price gouging sparked by bird flu. Shame their ticker isn’t $SCAM

Let’s get creative!

Got off the couch and actually voyaged through the house to my bed for once, where I shall sleep FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE

If he suddenly really wants to do his laundry one morning, don’t ask questions. (Wet dreams and embarassment being the context here.)

That’s about all I can think of that’s gendered, really.

I was ~9 when I got the talk from my Dad, and it was basic stuff about just the mechanics. It set things up so that, around 13, I went to him with questions about how I was feeling re: puberty. So even now it’ll be helpful to do the talk and show that you’re available as a resource.

In your case, your son likely has some idea from internet pornography and whatever he got in school, but it would still be helpful to go through the basics with him. I’d frame it as “I’m sure you know most of this, but i just want to make sure you know what’s important.” It might also be helpful to make clear that pornography is as much acting as TV is - don’t set his expectations on it, it’s people faking things for money.

Going over the importance of condom use also helpful at his age. Keep in mind, it’s not necessarily about what he’s going to use right away, but making sure he knows when he does need to know.

Then, I’d just be there for him and ask if he has any questions, and answer them frankly. Tell him he can come back later if he’s unsure.

It’s awkward and tough I’m sure, but it’ll be a help not just now, but going forward. Good luck!

Damned if I went looking for it and couldn’t find it. I’ve since lent it to an intern, put it in a funny place, moved twice, wasn’t anywhere I hoped.

In any case, I’ll try to recreate what I remember of “What I Heard 1.0”:

• Daft Punk - One More Time
• Kavinsky - Nightcall
• Benny Bennassi - E.T remix
• Madeon - Yelle Que Veux Tu remix
• Eric Prydz - Call On Me
• Lemaitre - Blue Shift
• Digitalism - Blitz
• Justice - D. A. N. C. E
• Duck Sauce - Barbra Streisand but a remix that said “Adam Jensen” which I can’t find :(
• Digitalism - Circles
• Daft Punk - Digital Love
• Studio Killers - Ode to the Bouncer

YouTube playlist here!!

There is one missing track here as far as I remember - a Benny Bennasi bomb that I’ve looked for many times over the years, but haven’t found. And I’ve listened to a lot of Benny Benassi :(. Hopefully the CD shows up one day!

Edit: added nightcall, remembered I had that on there!

Geeze, I gotta make sure never to wear a Daft Punk shirt to bed, I’ll wake up Around the World.

At a buddy’s wedding. Said buddy had endured college years in my car with my one mix CD, which included the classic “Call On Me” that he’d heard so many times it had become a running joke - and which one night when he was out switching his laundry, he heard in the distance at surreal volume and realized that there was an apartment close to us that was blasting it, just as I happened to be walking from that direction (and jamming to it).

Well, of course, it started blasting at his wedding twelve years later, and we went mad - I gave him props, and he said he didn’t ask for it, the DJ just picked the right jam. Was a great moment.

Every birthday card with your name in it is for you.

I have a friend who, years later, still brings up when I said “K as In Cat.” That poor customer

It’s meant to inspire a brief moment of dread and surprise for those of us who are not quick at math.

Lol, did you know it’s possible to make GUI applications for desktops that don’t use a browser as a platform? It’s a lost art, but at one time, it was how every application worked. Incredible, really

You can use bash in jupyter, yep, but I’m one of those nerds who dislikes the idea of using a web app for a shell, and it wouldn’t have the virtual filesystem implementation I mentioned. (This is an old thought for me I’ve just been too lazy to get around to)

A jupyter-notebook like approach, in which commands and history are kept in previous boxes and show outputs in limited boxes and we stop limiting ourselves to pretending we’re still using teletypes but maintain the power pipes bring to unix. Also, all boxes are given filenames in a virtual fs that makes it easy to reference them or their output and treat them like a file, erasing the need to rerun a command to run something on its output because you forgot to save it.

forced to pay for the cost of their own healthcare if they develop any disease that has even a minimal chance of being related to smoking.

Fun fact: smokers on average die much younger than non-smokers, and so end up being cheaper over a lifetime vs. the amount they pay into the system than non-smokers.

So the next time you see a smoker who’s on the same health plan as you, you can thank them, knowing their self-inflicted early demise will likely end up lowering costs on your plan.

Even more fun fact - same with the obese: a heart attack or stroke at 45 is way cheaper than paying for all the end-of-life healthcare healthier people are more likely to get in their 60s-70s when half of them aren’t even working anymore, lazy PoSs.

Really makes me reconsider how I think about those selfish in-shape non-smoker bastards who won’t just smoke or overeat so they die young and make my healthcare cheaper

There’s not a level of automation that exists that could handle the loss of workers.

You appear entirely unaware of test programs like Canadian Mincome showing minimal employment drop, with some spinning up businesses by claiming the income against loans. The people who dropped out entirely were nearly all either continuing education or mothers raising kids.

This is replicated in projects like those in Africa.

Basically, the answer to the knee-jerk “wouldn’t everyone just stop working?” question is “actually, no.”

Back when I mained Lulu in League oh say roughly a decade ago, they were fun to play because their shield could also be used as an attack that set you up for an easy slow. Paired with the right teammate, that combo did in many an enemy AC. I also enjoyed getting a bunch of items with cooldowns that did things like speed us up for chases or add temporary shields, and an ult that - used right - temporarily interrupted and stunned the enemy in addition to adding some health.

Those kinds of dynamics, where you’re buffing your team at the right time to secure kills in addition to healing them, made being designated support my preferred role.

Not just the area south - basically all the area in between the two cities. And yeah, it’s basically like saying “once you’re out of the cities, you might as well be in Kentucky.”
