Counterpoint: They took government money, the public *already" owns those drugs (in part).

If a private investor had fronted half the money for the company, they'd own half the company. The government's role here is angel investor, and it's insane to let these companies buy out their partner at the initial investment price. It's my opinion that if the US government is the majority owner of any given medication, it is in the best interest of the public that those medications be made available at cost.

I bet he got the eye that leaks blood instead.

I don't know of any adults with abs on their back like that

I can almost guarantee that job post was written by a recruiter who had some engineers in a call. The recruiter probably said something like "What about Java? I hear Java is important" to which the engineer(s) likely jokingly responded "Oh, no, please no. MINIMUM POSSIBLE JAVA. Yeesh. Ideally none." ... and the recruiter took that literally.

No, it's short for thank you, "many" means a lot.

This infuriates me to no end. The EPA could just mandate multiple numbers!

I want a graph of the car going every speed between 55, 65, 75, and 85 on a treadmill at 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100°F while maintaining a cabin temp of 72°F.

I want to know how much battery it used at those temps, simulating catching every red light in a downtown setting, in an hour.

I want discharge rates for all those temps with it just sitting there for a week, same for a month.

"Combined blah" is horseshit.

If these were called "cruise control", "adaptive cruise control", and "Blue Cruise" would it matter if the article said "cruise control" but was referring to "Blue Cruise"?

Tesla's names for these things are "Autopilot", "Enhanced Autopilot", and "FSD Beta".

At the very least, the names matter so that we can all agree we're talking about the same things.

First same sex kiss between two main characters in a Disney property. Then "the show doesn't really fit our brand"

it was amidst COVID cuts, sure, but probably an easy win for some exec to axe.

Don't forget the Disney that sent a Terminator after Owl House.

Misters Chekov Do you want the Disney-owned, AI generated force ghost of Anton Yelchin to show up? Because THIS FAR AND NO FURTHER.

Ah, I see what you mean. Hopefully the "clean" armor and soldier shots are coming from pre war scenes.

This is one of my favorite cocktails, and I've made it with all sorts of variations. My favorite gin for this is Ransom Old Tom Gin. The original was better but the current version is still close enough.

If you're feeling experimental, I recommend subbing the gin for Rhum Agricole. It's got a grassy finish that (IMHO) works perfectly with the chartreuse.

Depends on the setting and timeline. In 2, the Enclave soldiers were wearing basically brand new armor. In 76, it's only 20 years after the bombs.

In 4, the power armor suits are hundreds of years old.

Cruciatus Curse: Not Even Once

There's a non zero chance Avery Brooks starts the Brooks riots in our timeline.

I actually haven't seen it!

I've never been in a situation where penmanship mattered. Typing skills on the other hand are abysmal across the board and hamper my coworkers constantly.

It's sad they only made one episode of Halo. I'd have watched a whole series as good as e1.

Ah, ok so I'm broken and don't have to worry.

I loved both those things.
