Babies born nekkid, cats and dogs sleepin' together! End times! No more trickle down!

No, but it would impair their ability to steer government in directions that continue to facilitate and favor oligarchy. Can't afford to buy media outlets and bribe politicians when you're down to a few billion that barely funds your bimbo arm-candy, ex-wives, private jet, and run-of-mill...

It's easy to break stuff, especially when you don't have a clue about how stuff works, and don't really give a fuck.

I've been using the old 'heavy boned' excuse for quite awhile.....my doc just gives me the stink eye when I tell her that.

This thread shouldn't be labeled NFR; it's certainly at least SFR and should reside in the watercraft safety subthread.

Enshittification has always been with us. It's just more rapidly implemented and disseminated with modern technology and oligarchy. So much of it has to do with the glorification of maximal ROI that's deeply enshrined in graduate business school, and the proliferation of 'plug & play' musical...

Nope...just further lines the pockets of motel/hotel owners, and throws a human out of work. Are you really thinking a grocery store or a place like Home Depot actually passes on the savings from self-checkout and not having employee checkout onto its customers?

If we had a human housekeeper my wife would insist that we clean up the house prior to their visit....and I suspect she'd also do so prior to the robot's arrival (or activation).

Considering that much of Spokane's northside is pretty much the remnants of the Lake Missoula mega-flood alluvial outflow it's difficult to figure out one's likely exposure. The primary times Spokane gets drenching downpours at that rate are during relatively rare and highly localized...

I've lost track of how cycling acquaintances have had broken collarbones and wrists. Never had either, although my injuries consisted of broken ribs, some pretty severe lacerations, and concussions (which I believe would have been minimized with today's far better helmets). I think a fair...

The only acquisition I can think of a decently operated company purchased by a much larger company that resulted in a positive outcome was Garmin's acquisition of the Delorme GPS satellite transceiver company. I've had units from both Delorme and Garmin, and the product line (and customer...

While our home was spared (by a very narrow margin) I've now learned a few things about the ability of full replacement value homeowners' insurance carriers to convert a policy to Actual Cash Value should the affected homeowner elect to NOT rebuild the same home on the same property. The...

To make matters even worse in the suburban neighborhoods that are adjacent to wildlands in Spokane is how a big wildfire triggers copycat pyromania. Spokane was now had quite a few arsonists starting fires after the recent disaster. I believe most of them have been arrested. I suspect it's a...

Doubtful. I've read that true sociopaths are completely incapable of empathy. He just needs to be locked up for life, which is quite likely under WA state criteria for Class A felony arson of this magnitude.

You and your family were, and continue to be, in my thoughts as well. While I know flyfishing will be the last thing on your mind for a long time, I've quite a bit of spare gear should the need occur. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Extremely sorry about your devastating loss Dean. Our house up near Indian Trail was spared by sheer chance. The area looks like a war zone. So many lives completely upended.

I hear the population has suffered sustained shrinkage, as well as severe chronic droopage.

We went to a nude fun run many years ago (we elected to remain clothed)...once was enough. I saw things that I cannot unsee. That nudist ranch still exists, but I suspect all the sun damaged geriatric skin makes it resemble a flesh-toned topo map with a varicose vein interstate highways.

But the rest of it's spot-on? 😃

I spit out my coffee thinking about a 80-90 year old cougar/crypt-keeper.
