The main reason republicans are able to get better results from a filibuster than the democrats is republicans don’t give a shit about the consequences.
When there is a lapse of government funding it causes chaos in a lot of programs that tens of millions of people depend on. Even if it’s just a day, the government spends weeks preparing for it and when it’s over it’s not like flipping a switch and everything goes back to normal, there is a long recovery period. Even getting close to a lapse results in wasted effort preparing for the possibility which takes away from running the programs and harms people.
For republicans that’s an added benefit to a point, not something to be avoided so they will hold out until they get a large portion of what they want. Democrats have to weigh the pain and suffering from a lapse against getting concessions so their thresholds are different.
But as absentbird said, that doesn’t really apply here because rescission isn’t something that democrats are going to use often.
No, you can’t. Debate time is limited in the senate for a rescission package. There is no filibuster, neither a traditional talking one nor one where they just say they’re filibustering to prevent a vote.
I suppose someone could just talk and refuse to stop. They would be ruled out of order, and if they didn’t stop the Senate Sergeant at Arms would have them removed. If every democrat did that I guess that would hold things up a bit, but it’s not a filibuster and eventually the vote would proceed.
Rescission packages aren’t subject to the filibuster, only a simple majority is needed. Expect more of this.
If by “their own version” you mean the original version, yes. The original version used Atlantic City, New Jersey place names. It’s since been localized all over the world and there are also tons of specialty versions based on pop culture, hobbies, colleges, etc. The previous game it was based on, The Landlord’s Game, used places from New York City.
Fuck cars and up with cycling and bike infrastructure and all that but unless this study is more specific than the article states, it’s useless. And if it is more specific this article may be misleading.
It just gives a percentage of “in compliance with traffic laws” and doesn’t give a breakdown of what laws. Since most drivers speed at least a little quite often, and most cyclists are incapable of speeding anywhere near as much, what laws are the cyclists breaking to get them as low on compliance as drivers? If it’s stop signs and red lights, that is right in line with the stereotype of them being dangerous scofflaws the article is saying this study shows is incorrect.
It’s also possible that the one that did it said “why did you do that” to try and shift blame for reason(s) of insurance payout, shame, or something else and the one that said “I didn’t” is telling the truth.
Whichever one did it, that video from Captain Steeeve makes a pretty good case that one of them did.
If one pilot tries to ram it into the ground, or just throttles back, the other pilot can fight them for the controls and possibly prevent a crash. When those switches are flipped the engines almost immediately flame out. Even if the other pilot quickly flips them back and prevents the first pilot from doing anything else, it takes time for the engines to automatically relight and spool back up. Done right around liftoff, which seems to be the case from the RAT deployment, there might not be anything the other pilot can do no matter how fast they act.
Edit: According to the flight data recorder, the cutoff switches were flipped 3 seconds after takeoff, one was flipped back on 10 seconds later, the other flipped back 4 seconds after that, and the recording ended 15 seconds later.
I would like to join your quest to bring back þe þorn. How do I type that?
Nevermind, I got it.
Yeah, it’s so hilarious to want an engine that will continue to run after a complete electrical system failure at 10000ft.
Fuck 100LL though.
Because the pussies are just going after regular people. If they actually went into rough neighborhoods and started rounding up gang members, like they claimed they were going to, you might see some gunfire. But that’ll never happen because they’re weak and cowardly.
That dog pic is actually a little tame. I’ve seen some nightmare inducing pics of screwworm infections.
You joke, but there was some dude in Florida (I think) who was contracted to do this with fruit flies and he started dropping healthy ones to make sure the program never ended.
Source; I can’t be bothered to look it up, trust me bro.
The unexpected part is the increased surface salinity. Previously it was thought that the fresh water melt would stay on top of the denser, saltier deep water trapping some heat and salt below and allowing some refreezing slowing the overall melt, but still melting. They’re finding unexpected vertical mixing bringing up saltier water from the deep, causing more melting, causing more mixing; a feedback loop.
The article doesn’t really explain why this is happening, only what is happening. It does link to a paper but I’m still trying to parse it. I think I need something a little dumbed down from the paper in plain language but with a lot more info than the original article to understand it.
It follows the normal pattern where everytime we learn more about climate change we find out it’s even worse than we thought.
They made a movie about that guy. Don’t watch it, it’s awful. It was all a misunderstanding. The Jesus is actually a good dude.
Because an entertainer/athlete gets a paycheck for doing a job. They’re not getting rich underpaying employees.
The debatable part comes in when you get more nuanced than that: The richest of them probably derive most of their wealth from investments once they’ve accumulated enough capital. Their industry requires the efforts of many underpaid people (even if they don’t directly get a say in that). Anyone that keeps (not just earns) a billion wakes up every morning and decides not to solve homelessness in their city. Etc.
But a 20mm paycheck to put asses in seats is a paycheck, not exploitation.
While I am a bit of a misanthrope, I do stop short of referring to people as cargo.
It’s always hard to judge AoA unless you’re looking side-on with a horizon for reference, but excessive nose-up attitude caused by cargo incorrectly loaded or not secured properly so it shifted aft during rotation could have caused an aerodynamic stall.
I guess it’s true, money can’t buy taste.
Fun fact: Alec Baldwin’s character was invented for the movie to provide exposition. The filmmakers didn’t trust movie-going audiences to pick up the information from the three conversations that occur at the beginning of the play.
I recently renovated and said fuck no to all the smart home shit. Just the idea of having to troubleshoot the WiFi because my kitchen light won’t turn on drives me into a rage.
