Is Antifa an actual organization? I thought it was kind of an ad hoc moniker.

We can only really say for sure that he didn’t write about it in his book. But have we checked everything he ever wrote?

I think it’s because the people who made the pledge were just trying to sell flags. “A flag in every classroom” or something to that effect. So, once again, the answer is capitalism.

I used to stop in from time to time to get a really good smh in, and I was never disappointed. I’d be interested to see a real screenshot.

Schadenfreude and hyperbole. They are not literally laughing their asses off, either.

Serious answer: it’s a “smart” urinal, in that it can report usage statistics, alert maintenance staff to problems, and be remotely controlled.

If you’re in the facilities maintenance business, Bluetooth-enabled equipment can be a good way to get an operational technology network up and running without a lot of costly retrofit.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Robert A. Heinlein

That’s quite the list. I think the conversation is more nuanced, especially since the quote seems so anti-specialization, but in general I think it’s correct. Even so, none of these things are really specializations/ exclusive of each other.

Looks like they backed over it, laying the pole down, then drove forward, poking the pole through the undercarriage and standing it back up.
