If it was called Newtonity someone would ask why not Gravity.

Googling says gravity comes:

directly from Latin gravitatem (nominative gravitas) "weight, heaviness, pressure," from gravis "heavy" (from PIE root *gwere- (1) "heavy"). The scientific sense of "downward acceleration of terrestrial bodies due to gravitation of the Earth" first recorded 1620s.

When in doubt, blame Latin.

I assumed he didn't talk in the movies because he wanted to focus on directing.

At 100 m the compression would be nil.

If you take it deep enough for there to be measurable compression and then pop it, nothing will happen because it's already compressed.

Trump issued his demands Friday in a lengthy social media post after a stronger-than-expected August jobs report, which could bolster the case for Fed officials to raise rates at their next policy meeting starting Sept. 15.

In his post, the president exhorted his hand-picked Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh, whom he called “great,” and board members to “get smart” and “BE PATRIOTS for a change.”

“LOWER THE RATE OR I’LL STOP TRADING WITH COUNTRIES WITH WHICH WE HAVE A DEFICIT,” Trump posted. “High interest rates put the U.S.A. at a very unfair disadvantage, and I won’t allow that to happen!”

Fucking what?

Early TNG was weird and goofy, DS9 was 12 angry officers, Voyager was just weak.

First couple (few?) seasons of Voyager are weak. Later is ok.

Risk is high even if nothing happens. It's all about probability.

I read it as a pitcher throwing a baseball through a batter (batters are the ones that typically have balls coming at them). Though he now says a batter hitting a ball through a pitcher.

Not exactly exploratory, but it show's a bit

Prompted by all the commencements making the news.

 

That is all.

 

It will start with the 600,000 Venezuelans under Temporary Protected Status (revoked Jan 2025).

Then anyone that speaks Spanish.

Then everyone.

(Not necessary to complete each one before going to the next, but this will be the order it hits the news.)

 

The Supreme Court ruled on October 3, 2025, allowing the administration to strip legal protections from more than 300,000 Venezuelan migrants, putting on hold a lower-court ruling that had blocked the TPS termination. The Trump administration has moved to end TPS for 600,000 Venezuelans and 500,000 Haitians who received protection under former President Joe Biden.

U.S. District Judge Edward Chen in San Francisco had ruled last year that the DHS "acted with unprecedented haste" to terminate Venezuelan migrants' TPS status, finding that DHS made "decisions first and searched for a valid basis for those decisions second."

Appears that Noem ended TPS for Venezuelans last year Jan 2025.

Linux Mint XFCE.

Going into Mouse and Touchpad > Touchpad > Pointer Speed > Acceleration:

BUT changing the acceleration doesn't actually change acceleration, it adjusts speed.

Cinnamon and MATE have different sliders for speed and acceleration and actually worked.

*To clarify, there is only one slider. Yes I am selecting touchpad from the drop down box. The header says "Pointer Speed", the slider says "Acceleration" but adjusts speed. IIRC cinnamon has 2, one for speed and one for accleration, which is what you expect.

 

Then we lose Obamacare, leading to backlash against Trump who is then never reelected?

 

I hated lugging textbooks home, taking a chromebook home would've been much easier.

 

Of course this got me wondering about the etymology:

-stat

noun combining form

1: stabilizing agent or device thermostat

2: instrument for reflecting (something specified) constantly in one direction heliostat

3: agent causing inhibition of growth without destruction bacteriostat

 

Paraphrased:

The narcissist’s smirk is a subtle but telling expression that occurs when a narcissist experiences pleasure from manipulating or deceiving someone.

For narcissists, the smirk usually reflects contempt, which is a deep-seated disdain or lack of respect towards others. For narcissists contempt is tied to their belief in their own superiority. They view others who do not serve their needs as worthless or beneath them, showing a complete disregard for how their actions impact those around them.

 

It will start with "lying" on forms, "incorrect" asylum claims, "concern is over" asylum claims, and soon enough people born to illegal immigrants. Slow boiled frog and all that.
