Even better is that the guy is 42 with no kids. I get that we all technically have ancestry that goes back to the first life on the planet, but this guy suddenly happens to have verified family lineage that goes back farther than any other human on the entire planet... And he's the last one.
I pray that he consciously chose not to have kids... I know how soul destroying it can be to want to have kids but not be able to. But this guy... He suddenly, because someone needed a warm body to fill out their numbers to a nice round number, is directly confronted by a family lineage 9000 years old. And he's the last. What an absolute mind fuck.

It says on the package that it's artisanal, so I think that means it's special.

Something about all the "evil boss" movies of the 80s and 90s really stuck with that generation. It's like they picked out the lowest of lows from the movie and said "you know what as long as I'm better than that I'm a good boss and people should be happy to work for me".

They must be comparing a wired track ball mouse to wireless mice.
Having used trackball mice quite a lot before optical mice became common place, I can see a good wired trackball mouse being more responsive than an optical or even wireless laser mouse, but you would have to buy a truly craptastic wired laser mouse to find a trackball mouse better. The only way I could see it even being a possibility is if your desktop is made of glossy plastic or something else that could confuse the laser.

Link to duplicate is either broken or to a wildly different question.

The amount of weight a drone can carry is pretty limited. And the low tech easily made at home explosives are fairly heavy.
However, even if it was viable, the 1% will have everything right down to paper airplanes made illegal.

Maybe some future school shooter wannabe will notice that they barely even report on school shootings anymore, and Uvalde even reelected the piece of shit sheriff that let all those kids die. Maybe they will see this shooter being treated like some kind of hero, and decide to hunt Billionaires or CEOs instead.
After enough of those, the world will be drastically improved, or the surviving billionaires will finally bring about some real gun control legislation.

Dental insurance kept denying him.

For some reason I can't read your comment in any other voice than Cheech Marin.
And then Tommy Chong's response would have to be, "Yah man, I think the word you are looking for is Blimp."

The deregulation of the 80s and 90s really screwed this country over.

Well, I am a god damn mess as a person. So I'm like pre-alpha. I guess that makes me a proof of concept, or maybe even a thought exercise.

When you click a button it's actually two events, a button down and a button up. That is how you are able to grab something and move it, by clicking and holding and then later releasing.

Premium clicks include both the button down and button up events. Non-premium clicks are button down only.
