lol no I just think what you said is wrong and arrogant about being able to win that argument from even a logic perspective. Arguing the absence of lowercase-g god is a Sisyphian task if ever there was one. It reads like a teenager who binged Dawkins videos wrote it.

That's not fair! It's against the rules!

Calzone is a Hot Pocket that followed its dreams and made it big

For me, I'm Team Proxmox. It's just easy to spin up containers for pretty much anything I need. No need for the resource overhead of a full-on virtual machine if I simply need to run a LAMP app. Anything you really have an issue transitioning from Docker to LXC can still be run inside a container with Docker installed. And if you need to set up a VM for Windows or pfSense or some other OS for whatever reason, it's insanely easy to do.

Deistic (believing in a god or gods without a necessary religious component) but not theistic. Or pagan, which is just believing in higher beings (or singular being) that are not Abrahamic. There's probably other words that fit the bill, too.

Yeah, but those things are not weapons-grade plutonium, either.

Republican Sens. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Thom Tillis, Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul joined Democrats to vote in favor.

DARPA doesn't build the real thing, they fund the building of the real thing, it's their MO. The robot dogs and bipeds and quadcopter drones that Boston Dynamics and Anduril and other companies have been building are the frontier and DARPA is one financier amongst a sea of others. The Ellisons just bought our military, apparently, or at least purchased a $130M stake in it, to illustrate a point that we're fucked even if the robots don't end up being the most efficient way to do the deed.

That's not how strikes work, and it cannot be allowed to become the way the ruling class expects to negotiate.

A doubling is still a big deal, though. You made a difference! Imagine if that were to keep up throughout the neighborhood.

Like if we could rip open our chest to show our heart on command as often as we want.

Here is a horror you might not have known about that your comment made me recall: The Cannulated Cow. Your chest idea seems plausible next to the holey cows and I don't like it one bit.

Apologies if the photo quality is insufficient. In a particular bit of forest, I found an area with a large birch population that all seemed to be suffering from the same issue. Something is causing the leaves to first stripe green and yellow, then turn brown/black, and while there are new leaf buds forming, trees are seemingly losing the leaves faster than they can replace them. There are other areas with birch trees on the same forest that don't have this issue at all. In the affected area, some trees have only one or two leaves left with any green in them at all.

This is in New England, USA
