Yeah probably note that this happened in 2022 and he's getting his first hearing now.

It's almost like when you produce a daily strip for decades, they won't all be winners.

LOL. I mainly got the idea of using genetic modification to increase diversity of a small population from the book Seveneves.

Personally I was pretty disappointed in this movie. Felt like it was pretty boring for most of the middle. I don't think Pedro Pascal is a good fit as Reed. But this might just be the fact that I'm really tired of Marvel talking.

It seems very plausible that if you can make a generation ship, you could make something like CRISPR to artificially increase genetic diversity/eliminate potential birth defects. Or perhaps just store genetic material for more people than the actual colonists on the ship. You'd probably want to hedge your bets in case there's a low survival rate. There's a lot that could go wrong. Ecosystem failure, negative effects of radiation, or just good old fashioned murder.

Hm this one I don't really get.

I think the answer lies in the Hunter Biden charges. They can ask the question when purchasing a firearm and then charge with a crime later if they can show that the person lied.

Honestly wouldn't be shocked if they started going after recreational marijuana either. Some big liberal states have legal marijuana.

This is false. For example I have a pair of Carmina zippered boots that are definitely GYW.

Yes but he seems to be pointing out the irony in keeping the orca that stars in the movie captive. This was before that was a really mainstream sentiment.

Interesting comic. This seems a lot more pointed than his typical fare. I wonder if Larsen was an early anti-SeaWorld person.

I mean, yes, Hollywood writing for ongoing series is often repetitive. You literally have a "procedural" genre where they go through the same basic structure with almost every episode. Some sitcoms are quite bad. Some are pretty funny (and don't involve laugh tracks). There's a pretty big difference between your average multi-camera sitcom and single camera sitcom. But at the end of the day there's just good shows and bad shows and those don't always correlate with popularity.

 

From 2000. I think about this one a lot.

 
 
 

Last year, banks quickly raised interest rates to record levels and added new monthly fees on credit cards when a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rule threatened a key revenue source for the industry.

Now, they’re far more reluctant to reverse those steps, even after bank trade groups succeeded in killing the CFPB rule in federal court last month.

Synchrony and Bread Financial, two of the biggest players in the business of issuing branded credit cards for the likes of Amazon , Lowe’s and Wayfair

, are keeping the higher rates in place, executives said in recent conference calls.

“We feel pretty comfortable that the rule has been vacated,” Synchrony CEO Brian Doubles said on April 22. “With that said, we don’t currently have plans to roll anything back in terms of the changes that we made.”

 
 

Posting a screenshot of the interface when I'm typing a comment reply as an example. I have large thumbs and I have to scale the keyboard up pretty high to be able to type. Thunder has what I would call a lot of wasted space in comment reply mode. The button bar could be hidden (it's not something I really use) and either the header text could be shrunk or omitted entirely. Just making the header scroll rather than being fixed could work as well. This would probably be a good use case for floating action buttons. There's basically only two things I care about when typing a comment reply: seeing the text I'm typing, and referencing the text I'm replying to. Would love some options that allow me to maximize the space used.

 

Sadly I think I'm finally ready to put Sync out to pasture since it isn't maintained.
