Well, the far right faction of Republicans did already side with Dems to oust the speaker.

That's spoiling at that point

Do you think an average person in 13th century had a better quality of life than an average person living in the 21st century?

Is that a "random person on the Internet" take or something substantiated?

First one looks like a motorized hang glider, dropping something to the ground at the end. Probably smuggling something. Drugs is my guess.

Conclusion

The Equifax data breach from 2017 stands out as one of the largest data breaches in history, impacting millions of individuals. It is the result of several mistakes made by Equifax:

• Insufficient knowledge of their legacy systems.
• Poor password storage practices.
• Lack of rigor in the patching process.
• Lack of network segmentation.
• Lack of Host-Based Intrusion Detection System (HIDS)
• Lack of alerting when security tools fail.

That's what happens when corps cheap out on IT security. Storing so much personal sensitive data and not putting in the work needed to properly safeguard it. Good IT is hard, but not impossible.

I'll get back to civ when I retire. It can get too life-ruiningly addictive for me.

Same reason people at home just come up to each other and start talking (which actually requires immediate response) even when the topic is non-urgent whatsoever, instead of leaving notes around the house.

It's all based on differing conventions among people, so saying a call "demands immediate response" is putting your convention above others as the only true one.

In my family the convention is a bit different. A single call does not signal any urgency and so no one is expected nor obliged to answer if they don't feel like it. A second call after the first one wasn't answered implies importance. Third and more calls imply urgency and then emergency. If something is important or urgent and calls aren't getting answered, a message is sent.

I like my convention. I also have slightly different conventions with some friends. I am also aware different people may have different conventions and I don't hold mine to be superior or theirs inferior.

Sounds dope. I wonder if it will bring more clarity or more puzzles. My bet is on the latter. Which is great.

Buckwheat (must buy eastern european kind) with diced avocado thrown in and a few pinches of salt is the shiznitz.

If I had to choose only one meal to eat for the rest of my life - this would be it.

edit: buckwheat prep: boil for 10-20 mins until most of the water boils away. Add some water if it boils away too soon. Leave some water/moisture to boil away while it's cooling and not to get buckwheat burned and stuck on the pot surface. Throw in some diced avocado chunks. Add salt to bring out the buckwheat flavor. Done.

My supply of popcorn is running low. It's a good problem to have :)
