  It please me that you have a ready answer to this question.

  It concerns me that I have not heard of them until just now. However, I’m getting old enough that that may not be relevant.

  What a savings!

  Unless my math is wrong, early September is only roughly 8 months from New Year’s, not 9.

  Attack the judges, jury, and executioners? Bold strategy, Cotton.

  Ah, yes. I can’t speak to the intent of the meme. Not that you specifically asked me, personally, in the first place. Sorry, I’m of no help there, but if I were to guess, I’d say it’s a Jerry Seinfeld “what’s up with that” attempt at humor.

  Regarding the spelling, well now, that’s just equal parts hilarious and sad.

  There’s a lot of nuance in science that is ignored at non-upper-level university courses. We teach models that work for most cases, and each level deeper simply “lies” a little less, if that’s how we choose to describe what’s being taught. For 99.9% of uses, the simplest models are sufficient.

  Then again, with that same theory, he could just eliminate Congress altogether before the voting starts for impeachment. Or place specific justices on house arrest before they vote. Basically, the idiotic idea of a president not beholden to laws is mostly the same as a despotism if the “president” wishes it to be.

  I’m surprised nobody has mentioned Dropkick Murphys’ The Season’s Upon Us yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re basically correct, in this case. I’ve chosen my official “side” as that of humanity. I’m not fully certain what that means other than I feel for the protestors/people of both sides and don’t want bad things to happen to either. The governments directly involved here, such as they are, are in the business of revenge and power. The people in general are being played by their governments, pawns to be sacrificed or otherwise used to further the purpose.

  Hurricanes could, and did, wipe out entire communities. It’s easy to forget how important the study of meteorology is, as well as how vital modern weather satellites are, in keeping people safe.

  As one example of massive damage done in the not terribly distant past: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1900_Galveston_hurricane

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roku, NBCUniversal Expand FAST Channel Offerings⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone who doesn’t own a Roku, is there an app that is available through the Play store to stream these? Or is it a Roku-only thing?
