We’ll just see about that.
This almost made me spit out my breakfast from laughing. Back in the early 2000s, one of my students discovered He-Man and found Fisto to be the most hilariously unintentional—maybe—double entendre in the history of the universe. He was a drummer, and went on to name his bass drum pedal Fisto.
He’s an Adonis!
and Fake. Eyebrows.
That’s surprisingly wholesome news from Google. Thanks for updating me!
I used rebble for quite a while—super kudos to those folks—but eventually gave it up. The battery life was finally showing signs of loss and my wife had already made the switch to Apple Watch when her Pebble died.
I’m kind of surprised rebble was allowed to continue this long after FitBit bought then killed Pebble. I know they said rebble could exist, but IIRC, there was some hinting it wouldn’t be for too much longer. Glad they either forgot about it or just let it be.
I loved my Pebble watch so much! I actually still have it, but finally gave it up when they stopped supporting it. I still have it, in my curio case.
Minus one for that media player. Lack of controls is really irritating. I don’t care to be forced into vertical videos, either—despite what some puppets think.
If it cuts down the Reply to All good job chains, I’m for it.

$24 billion in profit over the past five years.
non-profit Kaiser Permanente…
Pft. That’s a pretty gaping loophole.
Orion isn’t bad, with his belt and “sword”.
Their rankings were based on how many customers went to ice cream shops. Nothing about how much ice cream was purchased in grocery stores or other non-ice cream specialty locales.
Weak.
1)Zero issue with what was spent. Why does it cost so much?
Cognitive dissonance much?

2)Almost zero success.
I disagree, but it’s way too complicated for you and I to hash out here, especially coming at the issue from opposite ends, you as a perhaps general citizen and me as a teacher. Maybe a long hangout at the corner coffee shop would be in order some day.
I think The Guardian is right not to share the actual bullshit. The article would just be another example of TMZ or Entertainment Tonight if they just flung the lies all over. I know where to find P”U” if I want to see it. I don’t think The Guardian needs to submit its readers to more crap in the article.
The Pentagon asked for less. It most certainly IS over-budget. When I say “the military” I mean the Military Industrial Complex, of course. I’m a supporter of our military, of the people actually in it. With a budget greater than the next ten countries combined, the M-I-C is outlandishly frivolous.
Regarding this, but more to the KC schools topic, it seems like your philosophy of budgeting is that only 100% = success, and anything less = failure.
You may revise your opinion after reading the summary and conclusion, but maybe you just figure the liberals at Michigan Law can’t possibly understand all the nuances vs someone watching their local news.
Also, it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Your skimmed analysis of silly twists of numbers belies the full picture, and in my opinion, total desegregation without changing the major obstacles of the systemic segregation of the city’s real estate, was doomed from the start.
BTW, I agree with you that merely throwing money at an issue without cause isn’t correct. One might argue against the ridiculous and constant over-budgeting of the military, for example. In KC, I believe it had many successes, though obviously not a complete realization of the goals (that shouldn’t have needed to be implemented in the first place).
You should look past the Cato Institute’s analysis of the KC schools situation. For example, the summary and conclusion sections of this article from the University of Michigan law school show that the conservative criticisms are based on myth.
Conservatives: “Let the free market decide!”
Also conservatives: “Not like that.”
