From the Reuters article on the same topic:

Trump made several visits to cities with large Arab American and Muslim populations, include a stop in Dearborn, a majority Arab city, where he said he loved Muslims, and Pittsburgh, where he called Muslims for Trump “a beautiful movement. They want peace. They want stability.”

‘They will be peaceful when they are dead’

Sometimes we might not do a great job because we didn’t know what we were doing and other times we were geniuses because we had messed up so many times before that we finally figured out how to do it right.

As I grow older, I find this is how you become an ‘expert’. You start not knowing how to do it, then you figure out all the wrong ways to do it by doing it wrong. Eventually, when you have messed it up in more ways than anyone else you know which paths not to take and you are then the expert.

I saw somewhere there exists a saying along the lines of ‘start sauteing onion, add some garlic, then you figure out what you are going to cook.’ When my wife and I have time to actually cook, this is basically what we do. everything is better with garlic and onions, from German to Korean. The rest is just details.

what is the mass arbitration lawsuit about? Is it, as dual_sport_dork’s article suggests, an antitrust lawsuit? If that is the case… I’d rather claw back the ability to sue directly (small claims, yay!). If valve is accused of something else Id love to hear about it.

Really what TuEstUnePommeDeTerre did was help us with ours. “Do your homework” is the laziest phrase, I cannot express how much I hate it. Its a phrase of dismissal. If you have a kid that is struggling, you should HELP them with their homework, not just tell them to do it. I say this because I think it is emblematic of the intellectual laziness of the folks who use this phrase thinking of it as punctuation in their winning argument.

I’m not a programmer but I have at least one double booking every day. Some weeks look like a brick wall sideways (they seem to always overlap by a half hour for some reason).

If y’all have worked with silicone oil, yea it works kinda like this (depending on viscosity).

It creeps up out of containers, it creeps up walls. It gets everywhere.

the Econoline is from the 70s too (80s Econoline for reference, the hood is the giveaway)

Yes Also Death Dealer… both by Frank Frazetta

I had the switched on Bach cassette when I was a kid. I thought it was cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn0HAWX1TSA&list=PLLICd7vQi7iGUyErozBAwgcr4F49kxiXY

its really not. they would have also had to sunk in the door to make the molding the same thickness. its more work, but not that hard with a hollow door. Probably less work than what they would have had to do to the top of the door that actually functions

Ive done it as a cure to a cold. its not great. I will eat toom by the bucketful though

Naturally! Then add another clove for good luck. Plus those two cloves look small, better add another.

I shouldn’t bother engaging with you either. You throw around the word abuse, when talking about a joke regarding striped paint, I honestly dont know where to start with that kind of mentality. Here I go anyway. Constant insults can be abusive, yes. Belittling a child is abusive, absolutely. Striped paint or left handed screw drivers are not that. I am actually raising kids, I am there for them when they need it. When they are in a stable place, I push them to grow. Sometimes that means going a bit farther on our hikes, sometimes it means sounding out the word themselves, or working out the math problem for themself, and sometimes it means pushing them to handle their emotions better. Sometimes it means learning to take a joke.

Am I traumatizing my children telling them about Santa?

Personally I’m good with my children being suspicious of me. Don’t trust me blindly just because I’m an authority, trust me because you know me and my motivations.

These types of light hazing are actually trying to lower the stakes. The greybeards get to tell the stories of when they were young and dumb going on snipe hunts. we all make mistakes, developing the ability to laugh at YOURSELF is important. Its an inoculation against embarrassment. If someone is so prideful that they cant stand to ever be wrong, when the make a mistake that matters, they will try to hide it and that is when things go from bad to worse.
