These days, though, conventions like these are infested by rage-twisted conspiracy nuts. Predictably, people who were there for an amusing time and playfully-nonsensical "science papers" head for the exits.
I've been waiting for a barrage of "Killer Tesla" stories ever since it started to look like the people with a short position on Tesla stock were going to take it up the pooper again.
Well, it's one of those little jobs most of us keep putting off, so it's probably for the best. I will accept your thanks solemnly, in the spirit in which you intended to offer it.
They should point one of those honking great telescopes at Congress and look for assholes. You can bet they'd be happily counting away for weeks afterward.
It's hard to be a good puppet when you've got two masters pulling your strings, and neither one of them likes the other very much.P>
Poor old Don has to find a way to obey both Putin and Netanyahu. That can't be easy. And since he dumped Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State, the oil companies that have been writing America's foreign policy in the Middle East for the last few decades probably have their panties in a knot, too.
I guess the temptation to trash another piece President Obama's legacy was just too strong to resist.

How can I hate something that doesn't exist? Please try not to be silly.
And for that matter, your failure even to make the basic distinction between a religion and the most fanatical of its practitioners identify you as a fool, a fanatic, or a troll. I have little time for any of those.
Thank you, my friend, for the best laugh I've had all day.
I live within 30 miles of the Canada - US border, yet I very rarely visit the US. Sometimes work takes me over the border, but that's the only thing that can get me to go.
I live near one of the poorest cities in Canada. Yet even the poorest city's poorest neighbourhoods are palatial compared to what I've seen in America.

I might wind up going back to Pegasus. It was my first serious e-mail client, and looking back, I think it just might have been the best.

An AI with access to a massive database might actually be able to help Trump keep most of his lies straight.
Exactly.

You raise an excellent point.

Maybe that's how it is in the US. In Canada, we still have a few tattered shreds of our Charter of Rights and Freedoms left.

I'll send you a gold-plated Thank You for that!

Hello, little Russian troll. How's Vladdy keeping these days?
Oh, my...another American who doesn't even know his own constitution.
Aren't you cute!
Find a conservative who doesn't break the law. That will be news!
I see the right wing trolls are out in force tonight...armed with mod points, as usual.
Proof of your Obama claims in terms of warning letters or more stringent sanctions, or you're a liar as well as a coward.
So Facebook says they now have a new tool. What happened? Did they somehow figure out a way to replace Zuckerberg?

So it looks like another of those scourges evangelicals claimed was a "curse from God" is about to bite the dust.
A cynic might suggest that the old Hairy Thunderer is losing his touch. Or maybe God just doesn't give a rat's ass who you sleep with.
Or perhaps they seek me out, wherever I may be.
(Neither of us believes that, but it's a fun conceit nevertheless)
But I have definite plans this fine Friday night to make an in utero injection or two.

At least they rejected the bids from Lockheed Martin and Boeing. Dear lord, what a zillion-dollar clusterf^ck THAT would have been!
This is just Baby Jesus' gentle way of letting you know you have too much money.
Good point.
