Every groups have a “testing”. Some also have a “production”.

Great headline. I appreciate the total being included! (Because we criticize the bad headlines, we should also highlight the good headlines.)

FYI, this is the same family as the article from the summer. I was uncertain as I had expected they had last been in Russian longer than a few months.

A snopes article. https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/07/22/derek-huffman-russia-war/

77,302,580 people is not half of America. It is 49.8% of the folks that bothered to vote.

More usefully,

In the 2024 presidential election, 73.6% (or 174 million people) of the citizen voting-age population was registered to vote and 65.3% (or 154 million people) voted according to new voting and registration tables released today by the U.S. Census Bureau.

It would be nice to get an updated daily list.

People just don’t notice the quiet ones. There are dozens of us.

Me too!

And I quickly found out why everyone else had left. (The job after was good though.)

This is really it. They notice the bright thing in the dark sky, but not the large thing in the bring sky with the really bright thing.

I likely ordered it. So thank the waiter and start eating.

I can read a menu.

Yes. With rechargeable batteries, or some obvious way to change the batteries.

Do be certain to advertise them here, so that I am aware these are even for sale. Or take preorders for my shoe size. (Why in the hell is everything NOT a preorder these days?)

Given the number of people that think the Sun orbits the Earth and that the Moon is never out in the day time, this would be a good idea. It doesn’t even need to be deep. Just random science facts.

As an aside, I want to buy a billboard in town and post science facts.

Anything than to have to fix my life.

I don’t shower as I don’t want the females to think I am gay. I don’t read, study, or try so I am not a nerd. I work a deadend job to prove I am “self made”. I avoid the “roids”, the gym, and exercising, which saves me so much time.

Lotteries avoid issues with the deciding committee handing these to their friends.

To an extent, it also can provide better data on outcomes. Instead of biasing for the most motivated, it includes a wider pool, so of whom may otherwise be seen as “unworthy”. Then people do people things.

Oh no! It is a mimic! Roll for initiative.

Outside of literal mobs, is that true?

I get that groups of people make stupid decisions, especially committees. However, that seems more like “compromising to pointlessness” and redirecting energy away from useful action, than a “mob mentality”.

Nah, engineering students often forget and design perpetual motion machines. Usually, they remember why that is stupid and impossible before they post it publicly where I can haunt them forever.

It should be a graduation requirement. It really should be…

Also more sustainable.

Even more so once one dies of exposure from being incorrectly dressed. (Some places have nice weather. Some places have weather that changes enough that different jackets/coats are critical.)

Whoa Whoa.

The story of Noah’s Ark is not about saving animals. It is about surviving a calamity that one saw coming, AND NOT saving more of humanity. This way one and their children can become insanely wealthy, and nearly the only humans.

When one needed an elephant, where did they go? To Noah. Need a chicken? Noah! Need help due to your house washing away, killing you and your family? That’s right, Noah!

Thanks for the recommendation!

Any guesses as to how much money would be in the pool if every person in your country paid into a single pool for automotive insurance? I bet that if such a pool existed, then there would be a lot of motivation to use that money to reduce the risk of paying out. Which makes me wonder if public transit is better in countries with national health insurance as a result of the national health insurance.
