Last I checked, CA was fourth, BUT we do participate in our federal govt and both give and receive from that arrangement, so hard to say that if CA was completely independent of that what the numbers would actually show.

All I want is tagging of URLs (using pinboard and some OS apps for that), but would prefer to just have them stored locally (and I can choose how to back them up) instead of relying on a cloud service. Anything out there that fits the bill? Also, a nice Firefox plugin for tagging plus searching those would be nice.
Ackshually (sorry)
Shut down is a verb and an adverb
“I make a product that will never be used. FML.”
In the US, so free health insurance for those making under 100k for 6 months (or likely less - whenever the money runs out). Maybe that would give enough people a taste of universal healthcare that they would start voting for policies that get us closer to that.
Clearly a real human being.

Yep - that tracks. Your take is a bit more precise. I think the important part is not to be too hung up on the science of that age and their exact interpretation of how the earth came about, but more just focusing on the general “muddy like (probably) just after the earth was formed and land first came into existence.”
My take on this is that the "as if the waters had but newly retired from the face of the earth" section is key for the rest of it. All of this is obviously metaphor, but the metaphor Dickens seems to be going with is that "it's so muddy out there, that it's just like prehistoric earth just after land started becoming visible (waters receding and making land visible), and to imagine yourself there walking along and seeing a huge fucking dinosaur basically swimming up the street (in the wet mud) and that 'would not be wonderful to meet' that dinosaur because obviously that's fucking terrifying and it might eat you."
All of the metaphor references are pointing to "muddy as fuck out there and really slippery, and so much so that there might as well be dinosaurs/lizards swimming down the street and that's just miserable".
I don't work for them, but I'd recommend Jump Desktop for that. Works very well and has been out for quite some time.
Have been fiddling with removing the brummels from my speed system and wanted a nice stopper knot for the larkshead to grab onto. Hope this benefits someone else.
