@pthenq1 Rrrrriiigggghhhtttt cause it wasnt Bill Clinton who amended the CRA to ensure demographics with high poverty got loans for homes, the exact group that wound up defaulting and crashing the mortgage market. At that point mortgage companies were literally legally required to give loans to people who couldnt afford it... but yea lets find a way to blame republicans instead. and yes countless other missteps by the dems to try to get poor people in homes they couldnt pay for.

@pthenq1 Wow, you really dont follow history much huh? Mortgage crisis was Obama,and he handled it horribly when he had to clean up his own mess. .com bubble was Bill Clinton who created the bubble.. I am sure you have some excuse how somehow it was a republicans fault in some convoluted way... but its quite obvious what the chain of events were in the two biggest depressions we saw. Very few people would deny it.

@Zest For starters, its not like communism reduces the concentration of power in greedy people either. Since 100% of power in a communism is distilled into the government you wind up with all the skilled liars and cheaters in government concentrating the power there **and** have huge quantities of selfishness, encouraged selfesness in the masses.

As for a selfless person not seeing being leeched off of by a person who is purely lazy and has no excuse... yea, no.. Even the most generous of people wouldnt take on an extra 40 hour shift, give the money to their friend who had no excuse than to want to play video games all day (well in a communism I guess it would be tic tac toe or something, cant afford video games in a communism).

@Zest Same problem with communism. The selfish people just leech off the people who arent selfish. But even worse as you are effectively pennalized for being selfless. At least to be selfish in a capitalism you have to be skilled or an effective business man. In a communism you just need to be lazy.

@trinsec Exactly, im all for helping the poor but simply lowering requirements or just giving free money is always going to fail. There are better way.. give them the means, itself.

@trinsec because we can directly see the even that leads to it... Mortgage crisis for example, it was very specifically the result of that democrat sponsored law that allowed low income high-risk families get mortgages they dont qualify for. Then the result of that is everyone who got mortgages they couldnt afford lost their home and the foreclosures tanked the economy.

the democrats always try to use that excuse though, but when you can tie the triggering even back to democrat decisions its a weak excuse.

@trinsec The republicans dont really "figure" much out.. but I will give them this, they dont tend to crash whole economies at aleast. Every major depression in my life time has been the direct cause of democrats from the mortgage crisis to the .com bubble burst.

@trinsec

The roller rulers are intended to be a cheap replacement for a proper architect T-ruler or the wire fixed equivelant. A T-ruler only works on an architects table where a roller ruler you can use on any notebook anywhere.

The idea is that you can move the ruler up and down and the lines will remain parallel and fixed as long as you dont lift it. Then you can pule triangles or protractors on top of it to create various angles.

@trinsec

I think they called it "technical drawing"

@mur2501

The democrats never seem to learn from their own mistakes... Jesus christ how many financial crisis' do we need to have before they figure it out!

@trinsec @mur2501 I had to learn this in highschool, but we had proper architect tables with fixed level rules that slid.

@beanface42 There is no doubt different people work best at varying levels of multitasking. But even the pomodoro method is multitasking at a high granularity (the context switching is less often). So there is still some degree of multitasking that cant be avoided.. its just a sliding scale of how much.

I think it has a lot to do with your ability to context switch and boredom. Context switching should be frequent enough that boredom of doing a single task doesnt overwhelm you, but not so often you become ineffective.

@stux nice, let me know how she handles, I might use it

@stux No reason to think that isnt ldap, and if it is no reason to think it isnt hand rolled

@stux There are things that come back in a search, just not sure how well they work (in the past i havent had much luck digging around but its been a while);

@stux If you find one let me know. Its the one thing that has kept me from adopting LDAP

@carl

I guess that would depend on what fire represents.. If it is police brutality then id say all the houses would have to be on fire, the one on the left just burning hotter and brighter. The problem being that while the house on the left might expiernce problems like police brutality more than the ones on the right the ones on the right are still victims of it all the same. We can say the same about a lot of problems.

That said not everyone who dislikes "Black Lives Matter" and prefers "All Lives Matter" have the right idea. Many are misguided or even racist. But many people who are in the ALM boat seem to recognize black houses are burning more but the problems faced are shared, even if not shared equally.

@paulfree14

Ahh the age old communist paradox.

@paulfree14 Close, except the two houses on the right should be only slightly on fire, smouldering.
