    @Aqua-Letifer said in Sessions unloads on Trump (on recusal): It's weird seeing you guys making even more complicated lines in the sand. At first blush I thought interesting and then I thought the art of gerrymandering lines is what people do all the time in so many areas.

    @Loki said in Tolkien or Antidepressant?: @Aqua-Letifer said in Tolkien or Antidepressant?: 23/24, bitches. (Guessed on 3-4 though.) Very Impressive. I’ve seen the movies multiple times and read The Hobbit out-loud but couldn’t retain any of the names...well at least the more obscure ones in the test. I've read a lot of the weird shit, too, which helps. The Lays of Beleriand was really helpful to me when I was getting my Master's, along with Auden's Age of Anxiety and the letters between the two regarding alliterative verse. When they came out I gobbled up The Children of Húrin, The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun, and Beren and Lúthien. A lot of the non-LOTR stuff, too: The Monsters and the Critics, his version of Sir Gawain, the Beowulf translation, etc. I also extracted all the songs and poems from the Hobbit and LOTR and made an eBook of them to read on my Kobo. Big damn nerd.

    Wow. Like Siamese twins in humans, it happens in animals too.

    I think the Chinese should be invited to testify, but I think everyone knows it is just politics. The Republics have to know that the Chinese would never come even if there was an official invitation. Look at it from the other side - what would be the response in the US if the Chinese government invited the US to testify at their parliament? Both parties would be a loud "no".

    Big Boris! We have one cat that very much likes to go outside. For about 15 seconds. Then it's "you better open that door." The other two couldn't be bothered.

    It is partly cultural. It does not seem like in the US, it is normal to have multi generations living together.

    When analyzing data, my boss sometimes says 'But does it pass the giggle test?' I rather feel that this data doesn't.

    Yep. It's a little disappointing that the solution is so "discrete". It would be more interesting to reason about the distribution if the parents wouldn't die.

    @Rainman said in Scotty Kilmer for Jolly: Probably the most popular mechanic old-school guy on YouTube, he's branching out into mini-documentaries. This one on Ford and the popularity of the first electric cars. Fun to watch, short and informative, and I mentioned Jolly because I know he'd find it a fun watch as a car guy, even though he probably knows all this stuff. Link to video Yep, I occasionally drop in on Scotty. p.s. George loves his voice...
