“I am glad you have joined me today, let me step up to the lectern and the conference can begin”

Holy fudge. That would have looked embarrassing on the set of a 1970s’ Dr Who episode (Podium of the Daleks). @smut_clyde

Only Dave Kujan says that to a very, very guilty man who hoodwinked him, and then some.

pesco: No, not the US state, but I could imagine that too. I don’t know. Odds are they’d shoot each other.

If we were in the past and the solicitor filled out all the forms by hand, signing, initialing, all the appropriate spots, mailing it off, getting confirmation forms, signing all those, would they be blamed any less? This is no more a computer error than the above example would be a biro error.

vernonbird: Whaa…? again, you seem to be comparing a modern job to nazis. Don’t do that. That is dehumanizing, in fact. vernonbird: Tone WHAT down?? COMPARING PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT NAZIS TO NAZIS…

I think the solicitor complains too much. They have made a serious error and they should be the one facing consequences for their actions.

I have L. Ron Hubbard on line three. He want’s to talk to someone about a stolen lectern?

Why would you transliterate a J-sound with Gh? A Gh in word-initial position is always a hard g in English: Ghost, ghoul, ghetto, ghastly. Why would whoever first transliterated the name decide to break one of the few consistent rules of English pronunciation? They could have called it Gibli, Jibli or Djibli if they wanted it to be pronounced close to correctly. Even Dshibli...

DasKleineTeilchen: one million people within 20 years As is typical, Musk fails to cite the original source of this plan: Naturally, they would breed prodigiously. There would be much time and little to do. But with the proper breeding techniques and a ratio of, say, ten females to each male they could then work their way back to the present gross national product within,...

This is tangential, but it has been many years since I came across mention of Cordwainer Smith, and my first reaction was… Well who was Cordwainer Bird then? A quick peek at Wikipedia cleared this up. Bird was the pen name used by Harlan Ellison, as a nod to Dr. Linebarger. Ellison used this monicker when he wanted to blast offensive editing, and changed...

April 15, 2024 (Monday) April 15 is a curiously fraught day in American history. In 1861, President Abraham Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers to put down a rebellion in the southern states. In 1865, Lincoln breathed his last at 7:22 a.m., and Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, who adored the president, said, “Now he belongs to the ages.” In 1912 the British passenger liner...

Honestly, that’s probably true. He has the bulk to steamroll a lighter man if his opponent isn’t a trained boxer himself. But then again, fitness to serve as president isn’t determined in the boxing ring

Here in Australia, the ABC is showing him as a fairly deep orange, with a weird puffy pink-white bags under his eyes.

sqlrob: It’s a good thing Trump has never ever done anything stupid then. It’s also a good thing that RFK Jr has never lied about anything. The point of the lie is unclear. He is burnishing his far-right credentials: as fascist as Trump, but more competent! I’m soooo liberal [/s] that his emissaries asked me to be his VP Obviously this is not compatible...
