A proud moment for the leftwing everywhere. Downplaying rape to defend a russian spy.

Might have to do with him interfering with an election because Russia told him to.

Enjoy your shitstain. He is your problem now.

Interesting. How about a counter-offer? Russia gets the fuck off the Ukraine, pays reparations, and maybe in a decade or so of being nice the rest of the world starts trading with them.

Ukraine has/had an imperfect government, that doesn’t mean they deserve to be invaded. My government is far far from perfect that doesn’t mean I should be punished with bombs going off on my block and my children kidnapped.

Fuck Putin and fuck his supporters and fuck anyone who both sides this crap. Russia could have sat there and broken their own people forever and no one would have raised a finger to stop it they invaded a neighbor that was zero threat to them. For what? So an elderly despot could enjoy his fantasies of restoring a dead empire.

Does that include throwing paint on Stonehedge and blocking ambulances?

It’s with the aim and yahoo messenger in the clouds now. Good bye Trillian profile I had back in the late 90s, you were too beautiful for this world.

Were you going to even watch the Olympics on NBC anyhow? Last time it played I tried to watch a few events and it was nothing but ads and profiles of people I don’t care about.

Like I get you are upset but I don’t know why. For me it’s like hearing some Austrian version of Ticketmaster are being assholes. Ok, I don’t live in Austria and if I did I still probably wouldn’t use whatever version of Ticketmaster they might have there.

Why is it so important to hear Al Micheals tell you about what you just saw? Do you even have a cable TV subscription?

Imagine there is a process that makes a gas that is too hot. The solution is to spray the gas outlet with water. That’s a quencher. The PLC controls the amount the water valve is open or rather how much to close it. If the PLC dies the valve should open up as much as possible and blast water. It is better to waste water instead of risking hot gas going through ducting systems that can’t handle it.

My mistake was putting failed closed valves in the system. If there was a power outage or a dead PLC no water would have cooled the gas. And presumably the ducting would have melted and there would have been fires.

Like I said my most embarrassing mistake. At least we caught it before shipment.

Yeah sure but it’s the scale and sincerity.

Me telling you my opinion on something is just that. I am just some guy. I don’t have access, or even want access, to a billion bots spamming my opinion.

Also my opinion even if applied really doesn’t mean much practically. Generally speaking I am pro infrastructure so if somehow the government spent more money on infrastructure that only translates, at best, to a small raise on my part. Not the same as say a major corp.

You see a community board where people can put up ads. What you expect to see are piano lessons, apartment for rent, tutoring etc. little things that really only matter to one person. You don’t expect some megacorp to rip every sign down and turn it into a billboard that blasts from speakers each time someone walks past.

Basically it’s a question of degree not of kind. It might be that it is all the same kind but the degree is so vastly different.

To be fair mods did try to take action against that and they did have tools. How well they worked is not something I will pretend to even guess at.

I feel like when I run into an old friend and they tell me my ex is in rehab.

Major problem in South East Asia. It’s a small world my last trip out there ended up on the plane sitting next to a gastro doctor who was fighting it at his hospital.

I kinda want to start a company that does automatic water tower sampling that can be retrofitted easily.

Well on the brightside I would rather they be doing this instead of shooting at each other

I designed a quencher system that failed closed, no water flowing, during outages once. Granted I was an intern but still not my proudest moment.

It’s weird now as my employer is slowing moving into motion control tech for waste. Seeing the changes like having to really think about hardwired limit switches and safety relays. Chemical world I feel is easier.

The dude never existed but had he existed he wouldn’t have said that and has he said that he wouldn’t have meant it the way you think he did.

The Roman state religion worshipped the emperor. His face was on the currency. Monotheistic people are obviously going to take issue with this. About 2/3rds of the population there thought it was fine, just using money not worshipping a human, 1/3rd thought it was totally not fine and you couldn’t use the currency. However, everyone agreed that in the temple you had to change the coins.

Ok so Paul’s followers were running his fund raising stuff and this controversy was still lingering when the author of Mark came on the scene, despite the temple being burned down. Mark needed the fundraising to continue and needed people to think Paul was the best shit ever. So he made Jesus weight in on the issue and weight in in such a way that would apply to the modern times with no temple around.

No analogy is perfect but imagine if Ted Cruz claimed to have found a secret document that George Washington wrote saying that the Bill of Rights doesn’t apply to abortion. That was roughly what was going on.

Even if there were a historical Jesus and he historically took this side on this issue that doesn’t mean he was taking a side on a related issue that hadnt happened yet.

Worst. Neighbor. Ever

“I know you are but what am I”

I design process control equipment for a living and you are 100% correct. When the controller/PLC dies or the power goes out everything goes to a safe state that protects the human. Big part of the design decisions.

It sounds like a porn star name of a Russian actress. Da my name is Slut-sky and I really need help with my plumbing.

If your name is Slutsky you should just give up on life
