I think of Linus Pauling
Well don’t go Joker on us yet. They appear to be AKMSs with one being perhaps a Chinese type 56-1.

It’s slightly slower than my casual reading pace. I don’t think it’s a bad thing to slow the reader down a bit in this context.

I am still curious if the original speed was comfortable for you?

Damn, I would be so productive if I could read this fast. Is this a comfortable pace for you? Do you absorb the information?

Molotov-Ribbentrop is not US propaganda.

A judge granted him ‘withholding of removal’ status, and SCOTUS has determined his removal unlawful.

What is the Russian narrative? How to give consideration for something that is not even meant to be sensical?
The author seems to be conflating habits with scheduled tasks. The point of a habit is that it’s more or less automatic — reserving your willpower to handle more unique and emergent tasks as they come. It’s been awhile since I read this book but I can’t imagine that that basic point was not conveyed.
Local news site comment sections are our last hope.
Did you mean .3% ?
They were impressed by the high quality American woman.
Re:Proton and Standard Notes are joining forces on Wednesday April 10, 2024 @08:34PM (#39997229)
We have the same timeline and general opinion — BUT SN has shown several serious bugs over the years … one of which locked me out of my account at a very inconvenient time, and support was responsive but ultimately could not help. Another thing I’ve seen is a password-protected file will display its contents for 1 or 2 seconds before being obscured and asking for a password. These have given me pause as to the robustness of the security of SN. Hopefully Proton can put some attention to these issues.
What does it smell like?

Re:U.S. Is Said to Open Criminal Inquiry into Boeing on Sunday March 10, 2024 @01:43PM (#39660966)
I know a lot of Boeing people. Boeing’s management shit-show is legendary around here. The night of the door plug incident a former Boeing coworker of mine very confidently told me his hypothesis of what happened — and he was exactly right when the details came out. He worked there more than ten years ago.
Interesting that a bill is even necessary. Doesn’t the defense already have a right to preview the evidence used against them?
MyHouse but it’s straight to the bathroom and then the demons come to you.
Re:The neglected clean heat we flush down the drains on Monday January 15, 2024 @10:52PM (#39009265)
It’s your shower and dishwasher. The heat from decomposition is negligible, even in a quite slow-moving conveyance system.
Re:Turing Complete is a game about computer science on Wednesday January 10, 2024 @12:47AM (#38936683)
At my day job, red = on and green = off. This game is the opposite. I wish this game had alternative on/off indicators like 1 and 0 or something without relying on color. It’s too much for years of habit, even in color blind mode.

Beautiful website (mobile). Beautiful font. Although I must agree that it’s not as legible as Fira or Ubuntu in an editor, I would certainly consider this font for aesthetic purposes for presentation, etc. It looks fantastic on your site.

This is only done by small tertiary plants. Long Island sound receives up to 1000mgd (1 billion gallons per day) of wastewater plant effluent.
