Do the bottom ones drown?

If you’re like me wondering how home exams were ever a thing:

The story that Serrano told them begins in December 2025, when a gunman attacked Brown’s campus and killed two people, including one who had recently introduced herself to Serrano.

Shaken by the experience, Serrano decided that his spring 2026 section of the quite difficult ECON 1170 would allow take-home exams for both the midterm and the final. Suddenly, the course received an influx of students. El País has the story:

I logged into steam after like 15 years and it still worked.

They’re just easier.

But as for stove, that’s an entirely different way of cooking. And maybe you don’t want to turn your indoor stove/oven on in the heat. Someone once told me Texan BBQ originated because they didn’t want to add heat to the house.

It stinks to high heaven. Not good for an office setting.

[Slaps top of train] “You can fit so many socialists in this.”

I have no idea if that is the official policy, in any case official policy lags far after ideas come around. After Russia failed to take Ukraine in 3 days, you can rest assured discussions started pretty quickly about holding on to the Baltics. Nothing top secret about that, you can just think it through.

You really need to look at WW2 history and the reason for NATO. Before WW2 every small country thought they could declare neutrality and sit out the next war: Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, etc. And how did that turn out? Germany just picked them off one by one. Even the countries that tied to engage like Poland and Czechoslovkia were picked off one by one (or served up on a platter).

Read: This disjointed approach did not work at all. The solution? Get a defence alliance that actually came to everyone’s defence. And the earlier the better, countries like Spain and Britain are off fighting the war with functioning allies (yes even the small ones) and with control of the map rather than waiting for Russia to be at their doorstep. Think through WW2, would it have been better or worse for the allies if Norway and Denmark didn’t fall? It would have been a fuckton easier. Half the reason for NATO is to get the small countries in, not run over one by one, and contributing.

NATO assumption is that the Baltics will be largely overrun

That WAS (past tense) the assumption. After Russia’s showing in Ukraine, both the ineptitude and the atrocities, you can be certain they’re planning on defending the Baltics from the start.

none of NATO’s member states have had defensive problems

Why do we need vaccines? Everyone vaccinated never got sick.

Everyone thinks they’re a temporarily embarrassed non-top.

This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.

Fox hasn’t told them to be outraged.

Isaac 1’s capabilities are grouped by feature area:

Laundry Flow — Isaac 1 handles much of the laundry cycle for you:

Finds and picks up dirty clothes

Handles loaded hampers

Folds and puts clothes away

Daily Reset — Isaac 1 resets your rooms so you come back to spaces ready to be lived in:

Makes beds

Fixes pillows and blankets

Puts kids’ and pets’ toys, shoes, and clutter back where they belong

Depending on the home in question, Isaac 1 may be able to help with even more within each feature area (such as loading and unloading clothes from washer/dryer machines). No matter what, Isaac 1 grows more capable over time as we roll out improvements over the air.

What a tease.

We’ve had one ozone yes, but what about later ozone?

H2G2?
