Even if the Supreme Court upholds the removal of Trump from the Colorado ballot, it isn’t immediately over for him, unfortunately. He won in 2016 without Colorado.

That said, it would be a precedent, and other Secretaries of State could start removing him with confidence. The question remains: would enough states remove him to make winning impossible? Which is to ask: how many battleground states (or even red states) would remove him?

I’m far left […]

Cool.

That is the problem with representative democracy when each rep accounts for nearly a million citizens. You’re at the whims of such a massive voting base. Name recognition is pretty much the only thing that matters at that scale.

It’s like modern marketing and advertising. Half the time, they don’t even say anything about their service. They just want you to remember the name and recognize the logo if you see it in a store.

“Donald Trump is a scab.”

Trump would be a scab, but he’s never worked a day in his life.

Should Jon Stewart run for POTUS? No.

Would I vote for Jon Stewart if he ran for POTUS? Probably.

This says less about my faith in Jon’s ability to govern, and more about my lack of faith in current politicians to lead ethically.

I’d rather see Jon make the right decisions but make mistakes, than to see a seasoned politician make the wrong decisions and execute them competently.

I at least have faith Jon is smart enough and with a true compassion in his heart, that he’d be able to surround himself with real experts, listen open mindedly to their advice, and regularly make decisions with empathy.

All that said, he’s said repeatedly he doesn’t want that job, and I do not blame him.

Oh, cool. I never knew about that. Thanks.

You said Type-1 (the compact, key fob looking TOS phaser), but linked a picture to the TOS Type-2 (the pistol). Which did you prefer?

I love the concept of the Type-1, and it would definitely be my favorite pick of the phasers based on function. But for how it looks, I like how the TNG Type-2 kinda blended the TOS Type-1 concept as a tool, but sized it up to the TOS Type-2 pistol in size. Best of both worlds. Still feels like a tool, but more power drill, less garage door opener or handgun.

EDIT: my autocorrect kept messing up the link.

I want to toss the Type-2 phaser from Star Trek (circa 24th century) as my personal favorite. It has this design which reads as a tool more than a weapon, which I love.

Practice, I guess?

To combat jet lag, or otherwise reset your sleep schedule if it has drifted…

1. Go 24 hours without eating.

2. Go to bed early enough to make sure you get 8-10 hours before you normally want to wake up.

3. Using an alarm, wake up a bit earlier than you usually want to wake up.

4. Make a big breakfast, eating when you normally want to wake up.

Now your body will have reset its circadian rhythm, and you’ll naturally wake up at that time.

Ergo: big bang killed queer.af.

They almost certainly picked it just for the joke.

queer.af = Queer AF = Queer as fuck!

It’s like how popular the TLD of Guernsey (.gg) is with gaming websites.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t even realize what country code the TLD was when they registered it.

This is anecdotal, but… I feel like it has gotten really slow. It’s like it doesn’t index anymore. It’s so slow as to be unusable, even if I’m just searching within one DM history.

‘we should have separated the people into their own regions’

We should launch all the white supremacists to Mars and see how well they fare building their own civilization.

If you’re proud of limiting the genetic diversity in your lineage, you probably look as weird as some “purebred” dogs (i.e. inbred).

Dude might be the only person with teeth whom you could punch in the mouth and hit only gums.
