If he is worse than Elon, he at least has the decency to hide it.

Yup, that’s what I meant.

They’re a secular institution that was on the leading edge of stem cell research when it was far more controversial than it is now.

I don’t think those are “low-ass” standards.

Calling Duke a ‘religious school’ is disingenuous. They are a secular school that has a divinity program. The university pre-dates the divinity school by almost a century.

They are widely seen as a world class medical, business and law school. Contributions include, the first ultrasound imaging, the first CFD analysis software, and cochlear implant development.

They don’t focus on sports anymore than other peer institutions (think Northwestern, Stanford, Vanderbilt, or Notre Dame) they just caught lightning in a bottle with Coach K, and have been really good at basketball for a while.

I say all of this to highlight, they are a legitimate, well funded active contributor to academia and research.

They aren’t some hack religious institution that’s trying to play being a real school while shoveling indoctrination down your throat like BYU or Liberty.

Duke is a legitimate research university that should be criticized even more harshly for the decision outlined in the article because of their history as a top tier research institution, not because they’re “a religious school that doesn’t care about science.”

They’re just going to order whatever they like anyways.

It requires personally identifying information to login. That’s a hard pass for menu people.

Still might be. It’s a $3500 device. Just because it’s getting press doesn’t mean it’s going to be successful.

They’re also like three times the cost of standard windows, which is why most buildings don’t have them.

There’s nothing wrong with buying early access games. You as a buyer just need to be happy with the current state of the game at the time of purchase.

Sports. I can get a hundred tweets of highlights almost instantly on Twitter.

The youngest and least qualified member of the supreme Court who was forced through in the waning days of Trump’s administration, Amy Coney Barrett, was raised as and is still a member of the People of Praise, a para-church organization which consists mostly of Catholic members. People of Praise is a highly conservative organization that touts strong gender roles and is overall highly secretive.

At one point it is believed that Coney Barrett was the highest rank a woman could have in the organization, with the title of “Handmaid”.

During Amy Coney Barret’s confirmation hearings, the people of Praise purged all records of their magazine and member profiles from their website.

The People of Praise organization has been accused of covering up for child abusers on multiple occasions.

Thank goodness someone posted this video. I was about to be very disappointed.

The other commenter’s point is that Las Vegas returns almost all of the water it consumes cleaned and back to Lake Meade. As a municipality their net water consumption is close to zero.

It’s other municipalities and agricultural ventures that are draining Lake Meade not Las Vegas. Vegas pulls water from Meade, treats it and then returns it back to the reservoir.

If you’re going to pick on water wasters Vegas isn’t where you want to start. There’s plenty of other reasons to pick on Vegas, water isn’t one of them.

That’s the first search result when I searched “Vegas water conversation” it wasn’t hard to find.

I have no data to back this up, but I seem to find that regions at Northern latitudes tend to have higher rates of alcoholism. I think it has something to do with long winter nights and people being able to find a sense of community in a pub/bar/Ratskeller after the sun goes down at 16:00 for half the year.

The US is much further south than most of Europe AND there are large regions that are very anti-alcohol due to religious reasons.

Pranks can 100% be harmless and fun, but if you’re ever questioning whether or not a prank is harmless don’t do it.

Basically everything Just for Laughs does is gold. You can spend hours watching their videos.

I go for a variation of this if a coworker leaves their computer unlocked when they leave for lunch or the day.

Screenshot their whole desktop, hide all icons and the toolbar. Set the background to the screenshot. Boom a computer that looks exactly the same as before but doesn’t work.

Quick, non permanent, takes a few minutes to work out, lesson learned to not leave your machine unlocked.

They took it down. The Mod team said people were spamming it with CP. Fucking assholes.

Conservation of momentum is based on Newton’s first law which states “a body at rest tends to stay at rest” so that would imply A. not B.

Those dudes were just chilling, and would still be laying there chilling.

Do you have any recommendations on how to buy a domain?
