Well you could always go the boiled water and some salt route. “Yo dog I heard you liked shock so I infused some water with bacteria antigens in it so you could go into shock while you’re going into shock.”

Way too much potassium too (and gives a hint as to why it burns at the infusion site just like a k run would). It’s like d5w with potassium and mag. Potentially quite deadly over the long term. Thankfully the glucose in the coconut water treats hyperkalemia or it would be deadly in the short term.

For sure. They were fine invalidating mine and everybody else’s Puerto Rican birth certificate but they’ll never put this sort of administrative burden in action.

They’d only go bankrupt if they were spending the capital to increase capacity and were left holding the bag. And nobody’s interested in doing that.

To your cat, these actions are as incomprehensible as putting on pants.

Well I guess they have to go back to putting ads in the back of almanacs.

Discovery is a legal process where you obtain internal documents and depose employees to figure what what they’re actually doing.

YouTube explicitly has a service for children and I’m sure Facebook discovery would prove they explicitly market for children.

I don’t really understand virtue anticapitalisim at all. Moralisim vs materialism should be pretty settled but here we are.

I wouldn’t worry about it as the artist (you) obviously was depicting power transformers and thus only showed power transmission as necessarily not telephony.

Ralph is just the third wheel.

She was blackballed by a lineman.

That Ubuntu unity article where the maintainer was a 10 year old when he started the project but now has shit to do is pretty funny.

Representative governments are generally oligarchic and blinded by previous power balances. True democracy like sortition lets the deliberative body hear from a member of a minority that they will revolt or become non participatory if you do a certain action. Then the greater body can decide if that’s worth paying attention to. It’s a level of agility that is frankly only available in true democracies and very rare in both autocracies and oligarchies. Where sortition is poor isn’t tyranny of the majority. It’s poor in identifying power structures that are completely unrelated to popular power. Most of those power structures, however, are illegitimate.

The role of the government is to thread the needle of identifying who has power (including your common labor) and creating a consensus among them that prevents a civil war. It however usually becomes captured and ossified and is unable to identify when certain power blocks have reached their red lines that will topple the whole damn thing until a new government forms. Mandate of heaven essentially. Paternalistic or will of the people are legitimacy building frames but the reality is always material.

Oracle runs into the one thing investors hate to do in late stage capitalism: actually building capital intensive infrastructure. Sure this case is for nonsense, but it’s a rule across the board.

You can’t just push against all the water in the tube in front of you, ya gotta slide past it like a little tornado or some shit.

Fluid dynamics are fuckin’ weird.

Rasputin’s Ghost killed Bobby Farrell for this.

He died on the morning of 30 December 2010, in a hotel room in Saint Petersburg, Russia, of heart failure.[6] His agent, John Seine, said Farrell had complained of breathing problems and of pain in his chest, which intensified after he performed with his band the prior evening.[7][8] Despite his still present dynamism, he had health problems for a decade. Farrell’s body was discovered by hotel staff after he failed to respond to a wake-up call.[9][10] Coincidentally, he died 94 years to the day and in the same city as Grigori Rasputin, the subject of one of his group’s most iconic songs and whom he had dressed as in some live performances.

Be a puppet state either way, she just wants to signal that she’d be an enthusiastic puppet.

Her entire legitimacy at this point consists of being recognized by Western organizations and now grovelling to a hostile foreign power. She’d be the worst type of puppet.
