surprising to exactly no one, I really want a glittery pink Smart Cat (possibly with all over multi-color stripes or polka dots). You know, if I had a place to park it and could afford insurance, never mind the car itself.
I'll be in my bunk.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tom! Get into the technology thread and tell me why ACID is overrated! I'm all pent up with anticipation over here.

Clinton is a surprisingly good legislator, but she's about as qualified to be a judge as Harriet Miers.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
ACID isn't overrated, it's just expensive. If you can redefine your problem so that it doesn't require it, then you'll save yourself a whole lot of trouble in the long term. The perfect is the enemy of the good.

There have been plenty of Supreme Court justices who didn't come from judicial backgrounds, most notably Earl Warren, a Governor and William Taft, a President.

I've someone driving one of those smart cars around work. The driver was a very goofy looking individual (plus BOW TIE) and him + that car was just...doubletake time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
These are pretty awesome - Soviet Futuristic Illustration: Oodles of Optimism
From the '50s-'70s.
This extremely rare series of illustrations to various books by Alexander Kazantsev (one of the first Soviet science fiction writers) shows very clearly what kind of future the communist dreamers preferred. Think cool robots, intrepid explorers, brainy scientists, eerily Star Wars-like aliens and a huge doze of humanitarian optimism.

But I'm hamstrung by an inability to reimagine the customer/invoice/invoice header/invoice detail data relationships without getting all relational, for instance. How is that architected in a non-relational world?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
or Clarence Thomas or John Roberts.
At least Thomas was a judge at the time of his nomination. And John Roberts? The best Supreme Court advocate of his generation? He's qualified. By comparison, Clinton was not a litigator, she was a corporate lawyer who worked less than full-time while being a public figure.
