Found the audiobook on youtube https://youtu.be/taZ84g9RJJw Wondering if it's a good listen.

Wiki says it's after the movie "Generations" and the Borg take Kirk's body.

Kimball musk:

“In fact, when they did fund us, they realized that we were illegal immigrants,” Kimball says in the video.

“Well, I mean…” Elon says.

“Yes, we were,” Kimbal replies.

“I’d say it was a gray area,” Elon insists as the crowd laughs.

“We were illegal immigrants…” Kimbal says, continuing his story about

She had to get that "fired" line in. She knew that would get under his skin.

This intervention, a direction to the Canada Industrial Labour Relations Board (CILRB), requires the two railway companies and the union to enter into binding arbitration and requires workers to go back to work and restart the railway operations.

Sounds like it's a quick primary? So will VPs be picked before the nomination is finalized? Can multiple candidates pick the same VP? If after the nomination, it has to be pretty fast. Pick the second place finisher?

Not getting much by Googling.

Mercury poisoning of hat-makers – In 18th and 19th century England, mercury was used in the production of felt, which was commonly used in the hat-making trade at the time. Long-term use of mercury products often resulted in mercury poisoning-induced erethism among hat-makers.[1][2] In the late 19th-century United States, a notable example occurred in Danbury, Connecticut, where hat making was a major industry. Instances of erethism were so widespread among hat-makers, the condition became known locally as the "Danbury Shakes." It was characterized by slurred speech, tremors, stumbling, and in extreme cases hallucinations.

What, wait they were doing a mock trial? Holy fucking shit.

They can't do it for real, so they just make it up entirely! Holy. Fucking. Shit.

The depths of them making shit up is just unbelievable.

the government has given the go-ahead for the first step towards complete digital sovereignty in the state, with further steps to follow.

The term digital sovereignty is very important here. If a public administration uses proprietary, closed software that can’t be studied or modified, it is very difficult to know what happens to users’ data:

We have no influence on the operating processes of such [proprietary] solutions and the handling of data, including a possible outflow of data to third countries. As a state, we have a great responsibility towards our citizens and companies to ensure that their data is kept safe with us and we must ensure that we are always in control of the IT solutions we use and that we can act independently as a state.

Digital sovereignty seems to be the primary impetus, so this might go far. Saving money is secondary.

Many of the people that think being gay is a choice are in fact bisexual. So for them it's a choice on whether or not to act on it. They assume everyone else works the same way.

Ok a 50 page memo? That's pretty friggin long. Depends how many of those you get a day.

But:

I summed up this highly classified memo into Trump's sort of bombastic language because it was the only way he was gonna understand," Taylor added. "I mean, I literally said in there, 'You know, if we leave Afghanistan too fast, the terrorists will call us losers. But if we wanna be seen as winners, we need to make sure the Afghan forces have the strength to push back against these criminals.' I mean, it was that dumb and that's how you had to talk to him."

I think these long explainations of instances and federation are really not necessary. It should just say "pick a server and start browsing. You'll be able to see everything*."

They won't be happy until we are all gay.

Christians want everyone to be Christian, they want Christian schools, they want a Christian nation, so they project that gay people want all the same things. That gay people want everyone to be gay, have gay schools, a gay country, etc. It's all projection.
