    Lol He founded the Guardian Angels. I don’t know much else about him other then that he’s run before.

    @AndyD said in 9 years ago today: Here's to the next 9. Do you know who the donor was? Is it all anonymous like the UK? It’s anonymous but you can write to an organization that will forward a letter to the donor family. Then if they choose they can contact you (presumably if you give them your contact info in the letter).

    Watched a few movies recently. Falling Down (late 80s?) with Michael Douglas and Robert Duvall. Enjoyable, I learned about it from seeing various clips about a normal person freaking out after a stressful day. Fun movie. Philomena. I remembered the Oscar buzz around this one, with Steve Coogan and Judy Dench. I enjoyed this one a lot, it’s not terribly long, but a very well written, paced, and resolved story. Nothing crazy but worth it for Dench’s performance alone.

    I know a lot a of good looking women, and none of them would say he was good looking unless he was rich. Just saying.

    Whew. That’s a close call. History knowledge can save a man.

    I have a friend of a friend who (10-15 years ago) started a company that basically applied machine learning, neural networks, and algorithms to stock trading. I truly don't know any other details other than he's quite rich.

    Not unless they want to get sued. All most places will give is employment dates.

    Have a lifelong friend who was a US Air flight attendant. Funny, when they merged or were bought out by American their pension fund was significantly reduced.

    Mainly due to the dollar plummeting no doubt.

    We really don't have a lot of details about the situation. I can imagine the idea of taking scores of young girls out in a blinding rain storm in the middle of the night doesn't sound like such a great idea - and we don't know what it would have taken to get them to higher ground. I did read that the head of the camp was in favor of a better warning system - but lacking that one would have thought of a plan B as LuFin has suggested.

    @jon-nyc said in Interesting tweet from David Sinclair: It would be easy enough for me to add. My gym has a sauna. Unfortunately they separate men and women so I’d have to be in there with a bunch of sweaty blokes. Mixed sex saunas might extend a number of things, however longevity probably isn’t one of them

    No explanation for how they get water. I doubt the rabbits could terraform the desert without humans bringing in the water. I suspect the report is missing crucial information regarding the water.
