I write these words in steel, for anything not set in metal cannot be trusted.

I trust someone who's better with puns and all the latest politics than I to do it justice, but I feel like there's a rendition of "Brave Sir Robin" as "Brave Sir Orange" that could be quite good.

They do, but unfortunately, they're radicalized nutjobs, so they aren't much of an option now...

My wife has a NordicTrack bike, it auto adjusts resistance and incline. Insane people would pay more and not even get that.

I've been using the Zelotes C-10 (wired for my desktop) and F-17 (wireless for work laptop), when they say vertical, they mean it. Anecdotally, it has helped with my wrist pains. I also wanted the extra buttons on the C-10, so I could map them for gaming (I also use a Razer Tartarus for my left hand for gaming).

I used a Nexus (nxstek.com) for years and it still worked great, only replaced it when I switched to a vertical mouse for wrist ergo, now my wife still uses, and it's the mouse that's lasted her the longest (she's hard as fuck on mice for some reason). I'd suggest you check out the SM-8000B from them.

Annual Wealth Tax 1% on total assets over 10M, additional 1% over 100M, additional 1% over 1B, etc etc. Raises along with inflation or something.

Without disputing that there were a lot of fuckups, this feels like a kind of pointless article given the uncle called 10 minutes after the shooter was shot by police, not sure there was much he could have done at that point.

Some of us play XCOM, 95% chance to hit might as well be 0% when you need 100%, usually means it's time for a grenade.

It is was probably transferred from his ear to chin/cheek by something like the floor, his hand or SS. That'd explain why there isn't a trail and it appears blotchy.

Those style of maps make the gameplay into a frenzy, turns the twitch shooting skill requirement up, drops the tactical planning.

I think the bad logic here is that the more sites there are the more likely one of them is improperly follow procedures.
