I pose the theory that he was chosen simply because his name is so similar to Pence. All those redneck homemade signs can now be easily modified by just changing two letters.

So you've never actually listened to one of his speeches then have you? He can't maintain a train of thought and usually doesn't finish a sentence before going off track and never finishing. He fell asleep at his own trial. He is absolutely too old and does all the things they accused Biden of. Biden was too old, so is Trump.

Nope, Trump is his parties verified candidate which happens at the convention. Dems have not had their convention yet so Biden was not officially the candidate. Semantics, yes but technically true.

As someone who lives in Amish country it is well known that you don't buy a dog from them. The worst health, most abused dogs I've ever seen came from Amish farms. I'm sure fighting dogs are worse but I've never dealt with those.

A friend rescued an Amish bred golden retriever that was deaf because it's ears got infected that bad and never treated. The dog was covered in shit and had it compacted in his ears. Who knows for how long. It took a long time to get that dog back to full health.

The art style is nice but the content makes no sense. Kanban and scrum are parts of agile. They are not their own systems.

Lean also doesn't mean you have no money. It's a system of manufacturing where you cross train people to do the jobs on either side of them so they can pick up slack if needed and keep things moving without hiring more people.

The reason vscode is so popular is because it is far more efficient than the electron app it's based on. Atom was slow and the worst resource hog I've ever seen.

The plugin ecosystem and great built-in support for the most popular languages keep it popular.

The pictures do not do it justice. I have yet to see a picture that accurately captures what I saw. Seeing just the mass ejection coronas was incredible.

It was like everything else stopped existing for that brief few minutes. There were clouds in the sky but I luckily was in an area that was clear during totality. I've never seen anything like it and will certainly travel to see it again.

This is not about beating your wife. It's more about rape or forced sex. There are actually lots of places that marriage is still a defense to say you are allowed to force your spouse to have sex since you're married.

Good for WV for removing that. I think a lot of women will still not know they have options.

I thought that was just on steam? I at least couldn't find it on Android.

The West Virginia is definitely wrong. I've personally seen more than 24 waterfalls there.

That is still just one specific measure. They will also have a specific definition of what they consider spam. What I have found, admittedly anecdotally, is that the results just don't answer the search anymore. The results aren't spam they just aren't good.

DDG did have better results in one major instance for me in figuring out an error message that Google gave me literally no results. DDG has several appropriate answers that LED me to a solution. I don't think that will stay the case overall but Google does need to do better.

It's ok to not know something. You don't have to share an opinion that has no basis.

If you've ever done multi-day outside activities in the cold, you learn really quick to not wear cotton socks or under layers. Your sweat is what makes you cold because cotton will no longer provide a warm layer. Wool still has air pockets and will keep you warmer and may save your life or limbs.

Are you going to be comfortable in wet wool? No, but you have a better chance of surviving and not getting frostbite.

 

This is not a sleepy pose. This is getting ready to go crazy.
