You can tell by the way that it is.

What are some other good ways to search among the unstructured unknown that is out there?

The word "search" implies you are looking for something specific. It doesn't sound like you are though. You're trying to learn what exists. What you want to do is "explore".

You explore by going beyond the things and places you know and experience them. You see things first hand you haven't seen before with your eyes, you hear things you haven't heard before with your ears. You communicate with others that have also explored and learn second hand. You then take the things you've learned and cross reference them with your own prior existing knowledge. You can project and extrapolate what else may exist. Then you go there and see if it does. Try things. Make mistakes. Learn from them. Try something else. Rinse. Repeat.

When people say "get out and live life" this is what they're talking about.

Officers proceeded directly to Liebb and his companion, removed them from their seats, and placed them in handcuffs.

Why was the companion placed in handcuffs? There is no indication from any source I've seen that explains why.

No. I'm embarrassed to be driving one now .

I stopped watching the show after a few episodes. What scene is this supposed to represent in the books?

One that’s happy with a refilled toner.

Here's the challenge. Is it possible to create a refilled/remanufactured toner cartridge as good as an original? Absolutely! Is the one you're buying meet that standard? There's no way to tell.

You could have bought a garbage refilled toner where the company did less than the minimum needed for it to function. There's no standards body for these. The best you can do is buy from a company known to do good reman work. If you work at a company that still has a fleet of printers, and your IT team still maintains them, ask what brand they use.

Or is it intentional for this round of closures because these would likely service people that would swallow the GOP "trust me bro" excuse for longer?

So yea, this is false.

I'm not sure how you can speak with such authority when your sample size is so small. I believe you that you didn't experience this in any of your tests. However, your tests are far from exhaustive.

Idk why you’re seeing stuff your wife watches.

I'm not saying I'm getting a screen full of suggestions of only things she likes, but I also don't believe it is simply coincidence I get occasional suggested video guides on using the exact brand of makeup she likes.

Are you logged in with an account?

Never have and never will.

Despite what Red Bull claims, its car is designed around the ultra-sharp on-the-nose set-up Verstappen demands, allowing him to extract performances seemingly beyond its capability

I hear this a lot about the RB cars and I believe it, but can anyone give me some examples of choices the RB cars have that makes them difficult to drive for everyone but Max?

The writing is excellent as are everybody’s performances. This show has some of the most expressive eye work in the game–the scenes between Milchick and Natalie are tours de force.

If you're examining scenes divorced from the show, I agree with you. One of the things that attracted me to the show was the fantastic casting and acting. This worked in season 1 because the characters knew as much about what they were doing as the audience, which was not much.

The reason this falls apart especially in season 2 is that big things have happened which should dramatically affect a human being, and our characters mostly shrug it off with "that was weird, I guess we should go back to what we were doing before". The treatment of the Season 1 finale on Season 2 was unforgivable.

  • Mark found out that his Outie's wife was essentially being held hostage by the entity that controls Mark S's very existence. That should have a profound effect on someone and he went back to work.
  • I don't think we ever saw Helly R telling Dylan or Mark about what she saw during the OTC event.
  • Dylan didn't get to experience the OTC, so he gets let off the hook.
  • Irving was the only one that reacted as a human would to the OTC. He lost the love of his life, fought for truth knowing oblivion would be the reward, and he did it anyway.

I remember watching the screen after the OTC finale in S2 E1 when Mark S is awake again on the severed floor and thinking "okay, shit is going to go down. He's been lied to all this time. A normal human would be pissed beyond imagination." Instead after a conversation with Milchek where Mark S backs down, Mark S goes back to work. WTF?!

I’m pretty sure that any system like this would have to permit purchasing the tire and then later assessing the tax one way or another, and it seems like that’d create some significant enforcement issues.

That sounds like a good option. People already buy gas out-of-state bypassing the road tax. So the tire taxation doesn't have to be perfect to be equal or better to today's solution.

I look forward all of this scholars writing "Rule-of-Law" fanfiction where the protagonists and antagonists live and interact in a society with a system of mostly reasonable laws and law enforcement. Definitely now categorized as Speculative Fiction.

 

Warning: Season 2 finale spoilers here!

This is an interview with the show's creator. I'll post my opinion on it in the thread.

 

This was in the 1980s video rental store inside the theme park. It was a great nostalgic recreation of a time gone by, and Commodore 64 is rightfully represented!

So wholesome!

 

Tom Smothers, half of the Smothers Brothers and the co-host of one of the most socially conscious and groundbreaking television shows in the history of the medium, has died at 86.

The National Comedy Center, on behalf of his family, said in a statement Wednesday that Smothers died Tuesday at home in Santa Rosa, California, following a cancer battle.

“I’m just devastated,” his brother and the duo’s other half, Dick Smothers, told The Associated Press in an interview Wednesday. “Every breath I’ve taken, my brother’s been around.”
