@flabdablet to be honest, I posted that video because my brain confused the two facts "magnesium burns really bright" and "potassium explodes in water".

@ben_lubar Ah.
Perhaps your brain needs to check out some molten salt, just in case you feel like eating snack food today.

@anonymous234 Of course, Obama didn't actually do anything he promised there. Didn't he allow supreme court to redefine donations as free speech, so bribers can now hide their bribes from scrutiny?

@bb36e WTF, look at that memory test and Award bios and Energy Star logo. He has a 10 years old computer!

@cartman82 Well, that explains why he doesn't just use a VM for his web dev work, his 512MB of SDRAM just can't cut it!

Also, how is he playing Pokemon Go in his office? He just conveniently happened to stumble on a Pokemon right there and then? Yeah, right.
This cartoon makes no sense.

Your stomach would look like this without the citrate:
No, because Mg+2 is an entirely different (and far more chemically stable) thing than elemental Mg metal. You'll have plenty of “osmotic fun” though…

You should take that description with a dose of salts.

And that's why my home linux has a 'reboot to windows' menu option.
They all do. But if you aren't paying attention and the menu times out, you get to reboot again. That's the joke.
That reminds me, I need to go and poke around in the kids' dual-boot machine to set Windows as the default again. Of course, first I need to get a new power supply for our office computer so I can put the one from the dual-boot machine back in it.

Our office has a pokestop just out front of it, people drop lure pods on it all day.

What should I be disappointed about?
That I won't be reporting back on how well it worked.

No worries, today is my "don't put molten anything in your stomach day (unless it's that chocolate cake stuff they call 'molten')".

Not even molten alcohol?

No. The thing the Democrats are up in arms about is actually that the Supreme Court said the government may not ban someone from releasing a movie (or a book, etc) about a person running for office. Someone made an unflattering/potentially damaging movie about Hillary in 2008, and the Democrats tried to protect her by blocking it from being showed.

The guy's name is McPhail. Truly, irony is dead. (Since the onebox cut it off, he is accused of pretending to have been kidnapped to get his mom to pay a ransom.)

I think we are half-remembering a different incident.

@cartman82 Maybe. Were you thinking of Citizens United?
BTW the President doesn't "allow" the Supreme Court to do anything.

I see all these constant annoying articles and shit about how popular pokemons are, but I've seen literally ONE person in Seattle playing it "in the wild". Maybe because people in Seattle are actually intelligent and well-read.

Based on my personal experience, I'm going to say that's not it.
Granted, I have a very limited sample size of one person.

Hmm, I guess that is the one.

If Obama publicly postured against this decision, liberal majority of justices would have probably followed his lead.
At least that's my understanding of it. But then again, I'm obviously not following any of this too closely.

Reading to the source of that, the list was compiled by enviro-whacko nutters, and their criterion for "smart" includes being enviro-whacko nutters.

@anotherusername Who cares, the headline's the important part.

Well, there wasn't a liberal majority, and they didn't, nor have they shown an interest in revisiting the opinion in the intervening years. (Even if they did, they would have to wait for a relevant court case to get appealed to them, they can't just say "oh we changed our minds").
When you read coverage about the case, bear in mind all the people who scream about the corrupting influence of corporations don't care at all that unions already have that same influence...except since unions generally are Democrat, the Democrats don't mind.

Like, he didn't order an artillery bombardment or something? Your US Constitutional knowledge seems about on part with Mr Pen and Phone's.

True. But then again, corporations have much MUCH more money than the unions. Like orders of magnitude more.

FTFY

What was the headline, "Seattle has a big opinion of itself"?

It might surprise you to find out just how much the big unions donate to Democrats.
In 2012, the SEIU alone gave Democrats $25M, the NEA $15M.

"After the roll call, the protests moved outside the hall. One of Clinton’s most aggressive surrogates, super PAC maestro David Brock, was chased through the halls of the Wells Fargo Center by two Sanders delegates after Bill Clinton’s Tuesday night speech, according to a Democrat who witnessed the spectacle. “They were yelling ‘you f—g jerk,’” said the Democrat."
They're lucky Brock didn't shoot them--while he is big on gun control, he carries one himself.

A simulator program, a view program can read from the simulator and show internal state, and our realtime are all connected. The demo is to send a value to the simulator from our realtime.
A monitor option is available in the view program, and the checkbox is located next to the re-read button that updates the view.
Me: "Oh, click the monitor option, maybe that means we won't have to refresh"
Demo-Guy: "Ok"later when we output to the simulator
Me: "Ok, we'll see what monitor does."
demo-guy alt-tabs to the simulator
the value isn't up to dateMe: "Oh, monitor doesn't mean realtime updating... :("
Demo-guy: "Huh?"
Other-guy: "He means the value didn't update to the value you just sent, you still had to manually refresh"
Demo-guy: "Oh."

Demo-guy: "I don't know what this guy is."

And even then, they rarely do so. There is a legal principle called stare decisis — stand by things decided — that is intended to provide stability to the legal system (Edit: and to the Executive, who have to carry out the laws as interpreted by the Judicial, and to the people who are supposed to obey them). The Supreme Court's decisions are not strictly binding on themselves, as they are on lower courts, but even when a majority believe a previous decision was wrong, they almost never overturn it outright. Rather, they tend to find exceptions that whittle away at the wrongness.
