They're looking to fill the position with a foreign contractor, almost certainly. I wrote some PHP sites 20 years ago and get contacted every now and then about taking a 2 month contract for $16 an hour writing PHP in Pittsburgh, whic

She was of course pointing it at other people on purpose, because where the firearm is pointed is a purposeful decision by the wielder. This sort of casual and incredibly dangerous treatment of firearms is why I support rigorous training a

Why is a sales employee enabled with access to the surveillance footage of the home office? It's not trust-inspiring.

"Rational" has a very loose definition so "because it's cool" is also a rational reason.

Two countries is a series? Can't really count Morocco or Sudan as 'Arabic states' unless you're really stretching that definition and it seems you are.

It seems the variants are arising in places where people have been mixing and not socially-distancing.

Slavery was pretty widespread in Europe until the late Middle Ages, including Christians enslaving other Christians and selling them to slave traders. 10% of the census population of the Domesday Book were slaves, not serfs. This changed

I am aware of the US Navy's nuclear engineering program but it's likely not capable of producing enough nuclear engineers for future needs, I expect.

Wholesale prices are capped. They contribute to but don't limit the price paid by retail customers.

I think it behooves the US and any other country serious about both climate change and extra-planetary exploration and colonization to develop a robust terrestrial nuclear power program as well as encouraging a trained cadre of nuclear engi

@sandworm How about a third option where neither the plane nor the debris falls?

As someone who just went 6/7 days the past week without power, I'd love to incentivize them via rigorous government regulations requiring winterizing. Just to be sure they're properly incentivized.

I disagree with your assessment of the NRA. They appear to me to be first and foremost acting on the behalf of gun manufacturers and the most extreme firearms owners. If they were truly interested in standing up for responsible firearms o

What about "nut meat" that seems to be a precedent.

That's not cultured meat. It's plant-protein based.

From what little I know the person responsible for growing the WSB community was the banned admin 'zjz' who was quoted.

You could be at multiple super bowl parties/other events at once in VR. I know it's not exactly the same as being physically proximate but it offers some advantages that being there irl can't offer. You and all your friends

I was able to buy an ultrasonic humidifier six years ago from Bed Bath and Beyond. I think I had to order it online but it didn't seem to be too rare and it wasn't expensive, or at least it cost a reasonable amount.

Robinhood wasn't fulfilling orders though as far as I understand it? More like lead generation for Citadel, their market-maker? That seems like an issue for Citadel to be concerned with rather than Robinhood.

Interesting that you assign expensive Mac products to WSB members. The most that can be said is that they likely have a mobile phone of some time.

If you broaden your understanding of WSB's definition of winning beyond "making a profit" or "maintaining value" to "taking a loss but having an entertaining ride along the way" then they're winning a

Consumption by animals would leave obvious signs on the bodies. That would be something even an amateur might deduce if the evidence was there.

Pompeo is a clown who can't even Bangladesh or Ukraine and Haley is long in the tooth. The SD governor Noem has the superficial attractiveness and utter in(s)anity to capture the heart of US right-wingers though.

Taking water out of ditches or the other types of places mentioned is not "rain-water harvesting."

Some of them were sophisticated enough to see the short squeeze opportunity and realized it was possible to exploit it. Melvin Capital kept pouring more good money after bad in a classic and literal sunk-cost fallacy. This is all complete
