Another timeless word-changing invention was the application of the inclined plane wrapped around a rod, which we now call a screw, but back in the day, screws were used to raise water from one level to another, and also for propulsion and coal feeders. The inclined plane couldn't be called an invention, but the first application of it was the world-changing technology.

Ah. I see we have arrived at a point of agreement. Although people might fit into this or that demographic, demographics are not people any more that "rightist" or "leftist" is. There are no such people. The people there are might fit into the spectrum between those extremes, but those extremes aren't people.

I still have my VM/CMS manual, too. Luvz me some rubber-lined acoustic couplers for the telephone.

Fact remains that after 6 months in, Israel's ops have failed to get all the hostages, dead or alive, released. All they achieved was killing Palestinians.

Told ya so. The only leverage Hamas has left is the belief that they still have releasable hostages. But who did the killing? Hamas or "friendly fire"? With friends like that, you can't tell 'em from the enemies.

That's when you ain't paid enough to get out of bed to go to work.

The one thing a person can check is the guest list. PACs don't attend dinners and that's where the dark money is. PAC managers, however, do attend dinners. Point A infers Point B.

A scientist, organically, yes. A scientist, Inorganically, no. Humanity hoi polloi defies pigeonholing. The best you can hope for with humanity hoi polloi is demographics. Loosely.

It comes from an episode of classic Star Trek that was the foundation of Star Trek The Movie (first movie). The Changeling.

What about it? It's carbonated twice over, so it's a soda, which supports my point.
