@Horace said in Drang it...: The military is a good deal until you have to go to war. But even then, some enjoy it. I remember an anecdote from Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything. Some famous scientist, I can't remember who, had gone to war as a young man, and really enjoyed all the killing he got to do. Oppenheimer?

Rick Beato is definitely one of the internet's high points.

My teacher has used the analogy of the music starting from far away, which I found helpful.

After pleading guilty to military charges of obstructing justice, the 23-year-old acknowledged he knew his actions were illegal but felt he needed to share the truth about how the Biden administration was misleading the American public about the war in Ukraine. “If I saved even one American, Russian or Ukrainian life against this senseless money-grab war, my punishment was worth it,” he said, his politicized comments a stark contrast to the contrite apology he issued at his federal sentencing. Oh, the poor persecuted victim he is. Such a hero; a post pubescent Snowden.

https://apnews.com/article/columbine-homicide-anne-marie-hochhalter-death-toll-4e175eac29224695214418f5a83c2648 The death of a woman who was partially paralyzed in the Columbine High School shooting has been ruled a homicide, raising the death toll of the 1999 attack to 14. Anne Marie Hochhalter died Feb. 16 of sepsis — an extreme reaction to infection — and complications from her paralysis were a “significant contributing factor” in her death, the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office said in an autopsy report obtained Thursday. She was 43. Twelve students and one teacher were shot and killed on April 20, 1999, in the attack on Columbine. The two student gunmen took their own lives. Hochhalter’s brother, Nathan Hochhalter, said a pressure sore, a common problem for people living with paralysis, led to sepsis. He said he knew that his sister’s life would likely be shorter because of her paralysis but her death this early was unexpected.

@Jolly said in Haaretz: TuCa and Elon promoting Holocaust revisionism: Thread necromancy has limited appeal. It's like trying to pick up a conversation from years ago. Especially when it exposes an inconvenient truth about one’s tribal affiliations. Right?

Doesn't sound like she's a fan of democracy to me.

Wonderful, I turn 43 soon. Time to start consuming ketones!

Hence, Florida. My niece's children attend a private school, after voucher, almost cost-free. (And she was a public school teacher). And because of their Bright Futures program, if the kids qualify, college expenses can also be slashed.

I think most U.S. universities will be just fine. I think some are going to fail. I think some are going to grow and prosper. But I think all are undergoing a refocus of mission.
