Where I live, US 285 North goes East and crosses CO 470 East, that goes South.

he had a grievance against the NFL over an unsubstantiated claim that he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

Well, I suppose the behavior supports the claim, as tragic a proof as this is.

That was definitely a red line for me, too. I gave him credit for being incredibly vocal about equal marriage in 2004, way ahead of other politicians, but something seems to have drastically changed and moved him to the right.

In the process of degoogling my life. Email and files are gone, but I use GMaps, still.

Google (still) offers a regular backup of your data to download. You can set it up to run at intervals and just download the entire thing. Includes file (and photos), email, messages, etc. It's great for products you forget you were using, and great for an offline backup.

I am taking this as the official admission by Donald Trump that his name is in fact in the Epstein files, planted or not.

I remember seeing Ansel Adam's pictures of Yosemite and thinking they were absolutely magical and he had to have spent months for each shot, they were so perfect and unique and marvelous.

Then I went to Yosemite and realized that no, that place is perfect and unique and marvelous, and even I can take perfect and unique and marvelous pictures with my Xiaomi phone in Yosemite.

It really is indescribable. Just to give you an idea, even five seconds before totality is boring. It's day, a little darker than usual. Then, five seconds later, it's totality, and it's like the entire universe had been replaced by a magical fairy tale land.

That sounds like a terrible deal for the EU and a complete victory for Trump.

I fully agree, although I do have to wonder how frequently these gratuitous attacks are astroturfed and paid for.

If you can get rid of a pesky open source competitor by paying off some troll to make unsubstantiated accusations and personal attacks, it's a great investment. Especially if the rest of the open source world doesn't come to the rescue and supports the open source developer vocally.

I think the problem is that the Roman empire was on the brink of collapse so many times, it would have been weird for someone to think one particular time was special. The troubles of the Third Century, for instance, looked a lot worse at the time than anything after that, but the empire recovered just fine.

The first (of several) sack of Rome in 410 AD was probably a huge red flag. But by then, Rome was not even the capital of the Western Empire any longer. The sack was mostly a symbolic loss, Rome having been able to defend herself for a thousand years.

In hindsight, permanently moving the capital from Rome to Constantinople was what might have turned the page for the empire. It was a complex series of changes, placing a new religion without strong ties to Rome on top, moving the political center of the empire to the East, and freeing the emperors for a while from the pressure of the senate and the people.

I note that the Eastern provinces were economically outperforming the Western ones by large margins even before Barbarian incursions. That the East would run the empire was probably inevitable at some point.

Yes, and nobody disputes that some bicyclists put everyone at risk. The point of the article, though, is that drivers are handed a fine, while bicyclists are handed criminal charges. Pointing out that bicyclists are given harsher treatment for a less dangerous offense is, I think, fair in this case.

Yes, that is correct. Thanks for pointing out, I'll edit to avoid confusion.
