So sorry. He looked like a wonderful spirited pupper.

What next ? by rainbowarriorhere in LateStageCapitalism

I was a branch chief for a regulatory agency for a while. My colleagues of equal rank worked for a while and then went and worked for the companies they regulated. They made bank from that. I didn't do that as I preferred R&D and new product development. I also didn't make the money those colleagues made. But I have my integrity and have no questions about whether or not I sold out. Not saying my colleagues sold out. But corporations don't pay you a lot of money for nothing.

The cops keep doing this because the punishment for the police committing such crimes is so mild.

This video is about fascism here in the US. Fascism came from Europe. Europe had a war where they killed the fascists. The US has caught the fascist virus this time unfortunately. Let’s hope it does not take a war to get rid of fascism this time.

College Station (and Texas as a whole) was and remains not my favorite place. Some years later, they asked me to apply for a faculty position there. I told them that I didn’t feel I was competitive- no reason to tell them the awful truth and offending people who might be reviewing my grants one day that I would have to kill myself if I had to live in Texas again.

My guess would be fig beetles. When I lived in SoCal their larvae would be in the compost. Birds love them.

I would have thought an Aussie woman could survive indefinitely on such a diet.

Chinese construction workers demonstrate the quality of metal used in building construction in china by lonely_dude__ in Damnthatsinteresting

You CAN get quality stuff from China, but you have to PAY for it. So there's little to no reason to pay those prices to buy your stuff from China when you can get assured quality from Germany, Japan, the US etc.

Like I said, I hope she loses and that when she loses, she goes broke and can't get a job anywhere. And is thus condemned to live the rest of her miserable turncoat life in abject poverty.

This. I've had those when I was a kid. They hurt so much they make you sick.

I went directly to a postdoc in California. College Station to Berkeley. The transition was like being released from Purgatory.
