And the paint’s peeling off of my walls

Fuck everything, we’re doing five blades!

That sounds like a terrible experience but thank you for trying.

We learned about Anne Frank and read Night in middle school. In high school we had separate classes for US, world, and European history. We covered the beer hall putsch, kristalnacht, Reichstag fire, that Hitler was given emergency powers, etc. WWI reparations and hyperinflation. Propaganda and Josef Goebbels “if you repeat a lie long enough, people will start to believe it”. Watched some of Triumph of the Will. We also had separate classes covering western philosophy which included Nitzche and how Nazis appropriated the will to power. I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot of the details. However I suspect this is more education than the average American receives.

Damn, the new c elegans is lit!

Yes, and pay the import tariff. I’m sure you can afford it since taxes are so low.

Yes. But didn’t the entire stock market (SPY) do the same thing on the daily chart?

Styropyro?

Jerome?

I actually like the GIMP website homepage more than the one for photoshop.

Its simple and efficient. If I want to know more I would go to documentation or tutorials.

The photoshop site just looks like a random squarespace template with a bunch of stock photos.

Will anyone buy it at the current price? No? Then I’m sorry to say but you have not yet reached the market clearing price.

No, I think it’s just that his economics person is Art Laffer.

I’ve smoked cigars occasionally, maybe as many as 2-3 per week for 2 weeks in a row and then just stopped with no signs of addiction. Nicotine is often described as one of the most addictive drugs and I sometimes wonder if I just never took enough to get addicted in the first place or my experience is a result of lower than average susceptibility to nicotine addiction.

Very insightful. On an unrelated note, I’m off to the store to get some vegetables.

Actually the other way around. Ron Paul to Bernie pipeline. I was reading Corey Doctorow and Lawrence Lessig at the time and I was willing to vote for anyone who might limit corporate power/corporate funding of political campaigns. I will never understand why so many people were excited for Obama. He just always seemed like your standard change nothing and let the rich get richer polititian to me. Although, I will admit he is a very charismatic speaker.

I remember watching the debates during the Obama campaign and thinking “this guy is just as pro big business as the republicans”. The only candidate who was talking about the need to limit the political power of corporations/finance was Ron Paul.

Well, I guess now we’re not learning about statistics, protein folding, or radioactive decay. I hope you’re all happy with yourselves.
