(a) Then how did Tom Hanks get involved? “Starring actor” was included in the premise.

(b) If he knows he’s the last black man on earth, sure. But that would suggest a predictable, but unavoidable tragedy, known months in advance to give enough time to actually produce the movie.

I mean, if its a documentary on the last black man on earth, it couldn’t actually be played by a black man.

Unless it was produced in space, or on another planet, I suppose.

Kevin Hart.

Take your upvote and choke on it.

Imagine if you had set it to 15 minutes… Or disabled meetings completely!

The fact that he collected billions (worth of cash and financial instruments) in the first place is the problem. He should have been charging consumers less, and paying his workers more. He never should have accumulated his obscene wealth to begin with.

post incarceration.

Author of this article is serving a life sentence. He’s been in prison over 15 years so far, and won’t be eligible for parole for another 52 years, at which time he will be 97 years old.

“Post incarceration”, he’ll be mailed to his next of kin in a tiny plastic bag. There is no “rebuilding” of his life after incarceration. This is the rest of his life.

I do think he should be earning at least minimum wage for his work while imprisoned. But, $6.25 of his $7.25/hr wages should be garnished and divided among the estates of his victim(s). If they refuse the money, the state should offer the job to any other prisoner whose victims will actually accept restitution.

I’d go so far as to intercept up to 75% of the funds deposited into his commissary account as victim restitution.

I used to get this all the time. Now, if I get a hangnail, I liberally drench my hands in lotion, and put on nitrile gloves for an hour or so to force it to soak in.

A family friend gets me Gojo Hand Medic, which my fragile masculinity appreciates.

I also found it works well for breaking in leather work gloves.

Agreed. Simple, cheap, reliable, and faster than struggling with that piece of shit opener that barely works and you should have thrown away years ago.

If I were running a soup kitchen, I’d have a different preference, but reliable lever openers like the P38, P51, or even the opener on a leatherman serves my needs better than any of these POS twist-style openers.

The French revolution - and most of that history - contradict your hypotheses.

Science demands rigorous testing of all three of those hypotheses before making a conclusion.

Dude probably gets a standing ovation every time he enters a room.

There’s a common dream among gun nuts, where you squeeze and squeeze and squeeze the trigger, but the gun never fires.

It has to do with how we are often taught to shoot. If you anticipate the recoil, you tend to push the gun forward, the muzzle drops, and you miss your target. To counter that, you’re taught to slowly squeeze the trigger while you aim, and let the shot surprise you. By the time you recognize the gun has fired, the bullet has already passed through your target.

In the dream, you’re squeezing harder and harder and harder, waiting for a bang that is never going to come.

“Abdicate”

Bread was preceded by porridge (crushed grains in water or milk), which was preceded by gruel (raw, whole grains softened in water). Gruel also gave us beer.

just be sure to pick up on cues

Yeah. About that…

Can confirm. Like bubbly water being squeezed through a thin tube. As a kid, I thought it was air bubbles farting their way through a narrow blood vessel.

I’m not trying to solve any problems with Crypto. I’m trying to use their purchasing of electricity to solve a different problem: seasonal variation in solar production.

Due to long, clear, summer days, and short, cloudy winter days, if you have enough solar panels to meet your demand in winter, you have about 400% of what you need to meet demand in the summer, even after accounting for air conditioning loads.

That excess power on the grid crashes the price of power. Unless you can find someone else to buy it, or some way tonuse it. To have enough solar generation capacity to meet your needs year round, you need something that can suck up excess power in the summer. If you can’t monetize that excess, you’ll never be able to get enough solar online to meet demand year-round.

Storage can conceivably address daily fluctuations, but it won’t solve seasonal variation.
