They ARE the ground.

It’s one of the easiest high-energy reactions to prepare, contains only very stable powdered iron and aluminum (though you can add other things as buffers to slow the reaction, such as boron or carbon) and it can only be kicked off by VERY intense heat, like from burning magnesium or the burning titanium powder in a sparkler. Thermite can be shipped through the mail with no special considerations. Were you thinking of something else?

How would such a law work and not infringe on freedom of speech as it has been codified by jurisprudence?

I think the laws we already have about free speech mean the government absolutely can’t tell a newspaper owner what to print. They can be held liable if they break laws, but not endorsing a candidate is not illegal.

EDIT: If you don’t like what I’m saying that’s on you. The constitution of the US is pretty clear about this and the Supreme Court has upheld it numerous times. I don’t think it’s cool that Bezos did this, but I also don’t think that a law stopping someone from doing it is a good idea or even plausible in the US. As long as we’re run as an oligarchy we’ll never get past problems like this, because if there is money to be made off information and money can buy power, unethical people will make unethical moves to manipulate the information that people take in. But as we all know, you cannot legislate morality, so the only thing to do is to remove the incentive.

Schrodinger’s fake news: it was only a mistake because he got called out.

The title had me like “What did those tiny carnivorous plants do now?” but no that’s Utricularia.

I just want a seat at the table for one of their feasts.

So it would seem.

When you take a shower does the shower flow through you or along your edges?

Yes, I know. As I said, it’s the northern border of the state between the Pacific and just south of Kennewick, Washington. But it does not flow through Oregon, as only the south bank is ever on Oregon land.

The Columbia enters Washington from the north and then becomes its southern border all the way to the ocean. Being entirely surrounded by Washington for part of its course, it is accurate to say that the Columbia flows through Washington. Since the Columbia only interacts with Oregon as its northern border, beginning and ending its interaction on the same side of the state, it can not be said to flow through Oregon.

But wait! What about Sauvie Island and the Columbia slough? Are those not examples of the Columbia flowing through Oregon? Yeah, but not on the same scale and there’s nothing on Sauvie Island except for corn mazes and naked people.

The Columbia runs from a lake in British Columbia, down through Oregon and eventually ends up in the Pacific Ocean.

The Columbia does not run through Oregon, it is the northern border of it from just south of Kennewick, Washington to the Pacific Ocean. The only US state that the Columbia actually flows through is Washington, which makes sense since the river starts in Canada, which is north of Washington, which is north of Oregon. Odd choice of verbiage.

If he sells now, the value drops immediately to zero and a big thing with Trump’s name all over goes down in flames just before the election. That doesn’t help him at the polls.

We can’t trust him to do what he says, but we can trust him to look out for himself.

Just write a script that runs periodically to check the log’s size and delete when its near the crash threahold.

You go, Kim Coco Iwamoto!

The baby bear pelt circumstance robbed from him years ago?

I supported myself with Blackjack for a few months. It was fun until it wasn’t fun at all.

Saying they suck things in isn’t really correct, unless you want to also say that the sun is constantly sucking Earth toward it. It’s just gravity.

Also, magnets don’t only work on ferrous metals. Magnets push electrons through copper loops in generators and that’s how we have electricity.

Exactly. As far as Linux has come in terms of ease of desktop use and hardware compatibility, there is still a barrier in knowing how to know which flavor is right for you and, almost more importantly, why that flavor is right.

The kernel is too old for newer AMD gpu drivers to work, but switching to a newer kernel isn’t too hard. I had to when I built a new computer last winter, but I have also used various *nixes for a good long time.

Knowing how to discover you need a newer kernel is a bit tough for recent convert, though.

Given the way they’re describing it, US south/southeast. The pitcher plants that grow there grow in marshes and swampy grasslands are from there. Pitcher plants elsewhere in the world are a different type all together, and are generally epiphytes or close to it.

Except Australia and certain south American highlands. Or the pacific northest US. There are like 4 families of pitcher plants, only two of which are closely related (counting sarracenia and darlingtonia together with heliamphora in the family and nepenthes and cephalotus on their own).

Note to anyone heeding this advice: it has to be a metal water pipe, no plastic.
