What does a map in Arabic display for the Saharah? Maybe start there, by translating the name back to the original, then make a new translation to English that is more faithful to the specificity.

CEO's mooch off of the value of labour, no doubt, but to think they are stupid is a serious miscalculation. That kind of arrogance, underestimating your opponent, doesn't win any battles.

If you just want to know when the clothes are dry, there's an easier way that keeps you in full control: put a ct clamp on the power cord. Doubles as energy monitoring. You can then block that crappy wifi spying system off altogether.

"We should restrict the free use of oxygen because terrorists can breath it to sustain themselves."

C'mon. Crypto has issues, but this ain't one of them. Pandering to people's fear is how fascist seize power for themselves and perpetuate the horrors we feared in the first place.

Tech was better in 2015. It's all corporate squeeze now.

Yes, there's that, but it's also just straight up gaslighting as a means to bully sovereign countries and further brainwash people into whatever reality the administration dictates. Next time, it'll be an executive order to have Greenland renamed, etc. The pen truely is mightier than the sword.

6, 7, 8, 9 is the golden age of the series. I have a favourite among those four, but let's leave it at that.

The electorate is the final check on power. The electorate failed their responsibility. The electorate now has to suffer the consequences of their actions.

Trump's power is not derived from a piece of paper. That was the Democrats mistake.

Trump's power comes directly from the people. In a democracy, ultimately the people get the last say.

The transactions are far from over. There are many more transactions to come. From as little as continuing to support Trump-freindly representatives, all the way up to not actively rebelling against his administration.

If we don't learn, then WTF are we doing with ourselves. The human existence is the pursuit of knowledge. The only depressing thing here, IMO, is the idea that living out a life as grazing cattle, concerned with nothing more than gorging oneself with the next meal is the only reason to live.

Comfortable? Sure. Self-actualized? Not a chance. There's more to life than living out only the most basic biological needs.

Not all jobs are measured by time spent on the clock, so no it doesn't have to be that way. Many jobs can and should be measured by simply meeting productivity requirements. A parking attendants job is being present on shift because that is a requirement of that job. But a programmer's job is to create software that performs a certain way. There is no time requirement of the product there.

Just cause you suffered your way through it doesn't mean you should encourage others to do the same.
