Just Ask Jeeves.

That’s the shape those early phones had. The back was curved until the iPhone 4. Now they are all flat backed.

Flesh, clearly.

Anyone who has made ginger bread men and ginger bread houses from scratch understands this. The dough flesh is the same for both.

The real conundrum is why they have bread in their names.

Sometimes fixes require sacrifice which is the dilemma presented by the meme.

The way I read it then is that there is no optimistic side for left since that’s the “do nothing” choice and the “take action” choice is the right side.

It can vary but being needed is a common one. The feeling that they are helping hold the NPD’s life together.

Orbiters of a narcissists, fuel the disease and gain their own validation by being someone else’s fuel. That doesn’t make it healthy.

Or are willing to acknowledge.

You’d think there would be a thinner Ethernet port by now. That standard is several decades old.

the metaphor refers to physicists’ tendency to develop toy models that reduce a problem to the simplest form imaginable, making calculations more feasible, even if the simplification hinders the model’s application to reality.

Just to be clear here, you made up a term and then claimed I didn’t know that term. And rather than address that you are glad that term doesn’t exist.

Tell me you are a never wrong without telling me you’re a never wrong.

Looks like you’re the one confused here. Supply lock-in means what exactly to you?

This appears to be a term you made up. What is supply lock-in returns no results.

Life isnt a Hollywood movie. The police don’t show up at the penultimate moment during the commission of a crime and save the day.

Silly prole. Why would I read about Marxism on how to play the stock market?

Go be a good cog now and create that surplus value for me to extract.

Has he actually said he’d pardon anyone but himself?

I don’t anticipate him doing anything that doesn’t benefit himself based on his previous behavior.
