The leafy top is called a haulm and on commercial farms the harvester has a header that removes the haulm before the main part of the harvester scoops up the potatoes. Anyone who’s played Farming Simulator is familiar with these machines, such as the Ropa Panther 2.
She’s a psychologist who works primarily with special education/special needs kids, and believes that a lot of developmental disabilities are the result of vaccinations.
Can a solar sail propel an object to relativistic speeds? The whole point of space travel is to go to other planets at a speed fast enough that the people going there will not be dead or elderly by the time they reach their destination. The only way to do that is by achieving light speed or damn near it. I do not want to board a solar sail vessel bound for Proxima Centauri b (4.22ly) and be dust by the time I get there.
My human, you have to know that they submitted this bill knowing full well it hasn’t got any chance of being taken seriously on the floor. There’s only one reason a lawmaker would even draft a bill like this, and that one reason is to get attention. A shiny bauble to distract us all. Any stage magician can tell you that magic is all about misdirection. If I’ve got you staring at the card in my left hand, you don’t notice the deck in my right hand. So, the thing you should be doing, is asking what they’ve got hidden up their sleeve.
Exactly. And he wasn’t elected, he was appointed. So, if I were him I’d be like “Yeah, I AM corrupt! Everything you’re saying is true! And what the fuck do you think you can do about it?”
The theory is simple: instead of buying a household item or a piece of clothing or some equipment you might use once or twice, you take it out and return it.
And they think they’re protected by that profit motive. Because they vastly overestimate how much their health and lives are actually worth. If you break it down by the numbers, they actually lose money the longer they keep you alive. At the moment you become a loss center instead of a profit center, they deny coverage.
Something about this insurer stinks. How long does it take to drop a drug from their coverage, usually? And did they know the twins would need this drug before the mother knew? If that’s the case, then her employer, who was also the insurance provider, had access to her healthcare records. They had access to all her information and likely paid her OB/GYN on the sly to tell them what was going on with the twins while in the womb.
I’m still waiting for this shit to come full circle back to how it was with Cable, where someone links the various streaming services together in one convenient app and they tell you you can switch and save!
One thing people are afraid of though is being “duped”. In a world where everyone is afraid of deception, they want all the products they consume to be clearly labeled. My partner thinks that they’ve been steadily replacing all meat with lab-grown and just not telling anyone and not labeling the packaging. Like, one day she stopped buying the chicken breasts she’d normally get, saying that “it doesn’t taste right. It doesn’t taste how it did pre-pandemic. They’ve done something to it.”
And MTG really won because her Democratic opponent was getting death threats from her initial rabid support base. He actually left Georgia during the 2016 election and his wife divorced him because of the amount of hate mail, death threats, and doxxing he received. Now, she only suffered no consequences because she never publicly called for him to be threatened. It’s easy to win an election when your voter base is so violent that they force your opponent to flee the State for his and his family’s safety.
And it’s never explicitly said whose wedding he was at. For all we know, he might have been the groom. But they don’t want to hear that he might have done what people did back then and got married.
Most of SCOTUS is not in favor of “broad immunity”, for exactly this scenario. They want to make sure that Trump is never held responsible for his actions while in office, and that every President after Trump(if he doesn’t declare himself President for life) is criminally liable for everything. Trump has even said that he’ll have Biden prosecuted if he wins.
Yeah. Because someone who merely “meets expectations”, you don’t know what they’re thinking. They could be plotting something and you wouldn’t know. Many employers pride themselves on thinking they know what their employees are thinking while on the clock. Meanwhile, the “quiet quitters” are the hardest to read.
I mean, look at all the stories of Taliban fighters who feel depressed because after they “won” their revolution, they had to put their guns down and go get real jobs. And the irony is that the jobs they are working are the same ones they would have had under the old regime.
They seem to be making a lot of “states rights” arguments. At this point we should just let the several States just be nations unto themselves. It’s clearly what the Federalist Society wants. But then each State will have to provide for its own defense, have to print its own currency, and there won’t be any organization to regulate commerce between these new separate nations.
What happens in November is up to Biden – it will not be the fault of the protest voter if Trump is elected. The questions remain: does the Democratic party fear Trump as much as we do? And does it value its voters enough to shift away from an approach to the onslaught in Gaza that a majority of Democratic voters are against?
Exactly. If Trump wins, he will outright BAN the Democratic Party, at worst. We will all either be Republicans, or we will be prisoners. And if that happens, the only group with the means to oppose him and the GOP Fascists is gone. And yes, the DNC absolutely has the means. They have all the tools they need. Now, I will admit that they lack the will to use those tools, but if Trump wins they’ll never get the chance to use them.
Good luck. The Left has been made up of everyone who couldn’t form their own parties because they lacked the resources, and so the Democratic Party became the “Big Tent” Party. And so, the Left has become beset by decades of infighting and a mountain of conflicting interests. Getting everyone to unite is hard. If a Democratic candidate at any level takes a stance that one or more factions disagree with, on any issue, it breaks the coalition.
