These two are conservative entertainment hosts. They are critical, sorta, of Trump.

Not liberal at all.

Impact?

My company sells services to companies trying to implement it. I have a job due to this.

Actual use of it? Just wasted time. The verifiable answers are wrong, the unverifiable answers don't get me anywhere on my projects.

Sci-fi only.

As I write this, I am realizing there are different force fields in different Sci-Fi. So hard to argue without pinning down what we are talking about.

I don't think we even have a useful theory on how they could work.

Charlatans claim progress periodically.

Magnets are as likely to accelerate something as repel. Lots of things are no magnetic, or are made magnetic by a magnetic field, and then attracted.

A plasma shield is going to be hot and burn shit, not stop it. Maybe we can do that. Going to suck power like mad though. I doubt we can do it and not burn the generator.

Isn’t the whole point of woodframe construction to use wood?

Well, no. Not as such. The point was to not use brick. Wood was just very useful, cheap, and could be made uniform. Very similar to brick if near a brick factory. Cheaper if not near cheap but heavy bricks.

At spending 4% per year, and assuming US Dollar, $10,000,000 would provide $400,000 per year to spend. Depending on inflation, may be a lot.

Why lonely if has friends?

Am I to join some else's military company? Then may as well join the big one.

I know the hierarchy of needs, and the other words. I am having issues understanding the total enough to gauge its correctness.

It seems well intentioned, but wrong.

That is great. If the mail gets lost, it has a chance of finding itself.

Won't help the carrier though.

Fix this joke below.

My barber said is Trump interfered that would pause the statute of limitations.

This is "pre-capitulating".

Great. Then we can fight of which religion group and subgroup.

Are you running a ram test or waiting for failure?

A boot disk with memtest86+ is great for putting RAM through its paces.

I don't understand the Nintendo Switch. How many do I need for a family of gamers?

They are a personal device like a gameboy.
There is a TV version for party games.
The games may or may not be shareable, even with the physical games.
Assume the ideal usage is during screen time on a weekend.

I have been avoiding buying one as I don't understand them. Thinking of getting them soon.

I assume one OLED for the family and then a portable per person, then one copy of each game per device.

How is this affordable?

I like a certain unremarkable car from the recent past. As they are repairable currently, can one just buy all of the parts new and put it together?

Are there any parts that aren't sold new?

Have you done this?
Are there any tools to help one get all of the parts?
Any communities?

The Mighty Ducks (midwest.social)

"The Mighty Ducks" did a good job featuring Minnesota. "D2" did a shit job. Even called Minneapolis a "po dunk town". I think the writers had nit watched the first movies.

The lines are long. The food is expensive. Everyone in the group wants to eat something different. The food taste is a gamble. There are few places to eat.

Does everyone stick together and wait in all of the lines? Split up and meet at some location? Eat on the way to the festival and just hang out?

It often feels like there are only 3 productive hours in typical American white collar work day.

What if we just cut out the rest?

Edit: Some great responses. So responses must have also been said about the 5 day and 40 hour work weeks.

Religious Landscape Study (www.pewresearch.org)

In the USA, 3.1% claim Atheist, 4% Agnostic, and a total of 22.8% "Unaffiliated".

In Minnesota, 3% claim to be Atheist, 4% Agnostic, with a total of 20% Unaffiliated.

Posted as I often feel there are few Atheists in the USA. Turns out Atheists are under noticed.

I keep getting a red banner saying “Toastify is awesome” when updating. What does it mean, and what should I do differently?

How would one actually calculate the full "fruit of labor" in work that includes several people doing different tasks?

How to calculate between people doing the same task producing physical items seems easy. Add in customer service, sales, and development, and it seems easier to focus on what other groups pay for those skills, which is not what I want.

It also seems looking at the difference between having the role, and not. However some skills are mandatory, just less involved.

Feel free to simplify, but different tasks is a must.

I don't like subscribing to nonphysical things. I can read a physical paper a month after it arrived. Digital is faster, but I tend to lose it before I have read it.

I need a recipient in my pocket. Too often my virtual thing is lost, my device fails, or things reboot and I don't have my secure 24 digit password with me.

I won't subscribe to a digital only anything. Physical and digital is nice.

Edit: They don't even have to be identical. A digital daily with a monthly print would be nice.

Hello friends. Work email is crushing me. The ticketing systems, plural, email me on everyone's tucket. (Because some people only work tickets via email and others through the web interface.)

Are there any email clients or servers that allow new email to land somewhere other than the inbox? Or allow my view to start elsewhere?

I declare email bankruptcy daily....

Send whiskey.

Edit: I was unclear.

I have filtering, but those all happen after the mail is in the Inbox. I get a quarter second of crazy emails and previews and things moving, then they are gone. (Outlook sucks.)

I don't even want to see that shit. Not at all.

Last Thursday, the medical colossus UnitedHealthcare applied for an emergency exemption that would fast-track its takeover of a medical practice in Corvallis, Oregon, in a letter warning regulators that the practice might close its doors if the merger were not approved right away.
