Fojar38 posted:The advantage of the American roach is that they generally don't infest buildings and prefer the outdoors My house had a German roach infestation when I first moved in. I couldn't unpack my kitchen stuff for over a month. gently caress those things. American roaches are tolerable. They're big and they'll fly at you, but that's not so bad.

Why do people keep proposing this scenario where Utah goes 3rd party and no one gets 270? It could happen, but it's unlikely and seems odd to harp on it.

BUG JUG posted:I am just here to say the superior work on this is American Slavery, American Freedom by Edmund Morgan and Parent just ripped Morgan off. Also it was a Dutch Man of War that brought the first slaves to Virginia -- who had been captured by the Dutch (who were pirates, working in conjunction with an English pirate ship) off of a Portuguese ship the San Juan Bautista -- in 1619. I haven't read Morgan's book, I'll have to try it. I just know that Parent's is the one we sell in the gift shop and it always gets rave reviews! And oh I know; there's actually a project pending this spring to do an archaeological excavation of a home known to belong to the purchaser of one of those 1619 slaves, a young West African lady by the (Christian) name of Angela. Nobody's promising it'll turn anything up relating to her, but we know very little from the material evidence about that first wave of West African slaves that the very possibility is exciting! What's interesting is we aren't actually certain if the first lot of them were actually thought of as "slaves" per se or were just lumped into the same category as indentured servants. The documentary evidence is a little fuzzy, but the legislative factors that produced what we would recognize as racial chattel slavery hadn't yet surfaced, for certain.

Jake Tapper just talked about James O'Keefe's new tapes and while he did mention at the beginning that he was discounted, the bit was not just Jake saying "this guy is a turbo fucker and if he made a video where the sky was blue I'd seriously consider that it was orange instead". I was disappointed.

They also like to hang out in the shower, and are extra super fun to encounter when you're naked and half-asleep Tbh, we should probably just let nature retake everything south of the Mason-Dixon line.

I don't understand the hate spiders get in a world with mosquitoes, basicly vampiric rats with wings. seriously spiders are cool, they kill pests, super chill. they're like cats. 8 legged cats.

The big thing I noticed after the Sony hack when all the entertainment industry IT policies clamped down in response was how impossible getting CEOs to comply with security measures seems to be. I worked at a place that had those little 2-factor code generating keychains for doing stuff on the company websites and the execs would just hand those off to their assistants and do a screenshare once they were logged in.

Continuing spiderchat, the Portia jumping spiders are pretty neat. Spiders that use trial and error, stalk and surprise their prey with hour long pre-planned attack routes, hunt targets twice their size and learn how to hunt new targets all using brains the size of the head of a pin? Did I mention they're jumping spiders? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portia_(spider) quote:Portia often hunt in ways that seem intelligent.[11] All members of Portia have instinctive hunting tactics for their most common prey, but can improvise by trial and error against unfamiliar prey or in unfamiliar situations, and then remember the new approach.[8] quote:Their favorite prey appears to be web-building spiders between 10% and 200% of their own size. Portia look like leaf detritus caught in a web, and this is often enough to fool web-building spiders, which have poor eyesight.[11]

Because people see it as a miraculous escape plan in the 11th hour. I'm actually surprised, I assumed I would be seeing a lot more from the super vocal "douche and turd sandwich" crowd, but I haven't seen that much after the original 538 post. But yeah a scenario where Trump: 1) is weak enough to lose super republican Utah but 2) strong enough to fight Hillary to a standstill in electoral votes and yet 3) still weak enough to do such damage to the Republican down ticket races that they decided to back stab him to spare a rout in 2018 - seems laughably far fetched to me. Like not impossible but improbable to the point that you might as well wish for both candidates to drop dead before the race.
