Whooosh, right over the MAGAt troll’s head.

Yeah I thought I read recently that it plateaued.

I have not but I’ll seek it out.

Curious how many shop classes people here took.

I remember three. Woodworking, small engine repair, and auto mechanics. I always knew I’d go to college for stem (though we didn’t call it that at the time) but I just found shop interesting.

The HOF is for what you do on the field.

Pete has long had a display at Cooperstown, so the HOF has made money off of his NIL and bat.

Put him the rest of the way in.

So they’re recognizing him but with an asterisk. Seems appropriate.

Interesting. I’ve dived artifical reefs off key largo before. (At the time it was 2 coast guard cutters, the Bibb and the Duane). Good use of a retired hull.

You can find the book.

And my holocaust reference came from him. He said the measles vaccine is a “holocaust”.

Big if true. I hope some of it comes out in the wash. Lots of talk so far, to be sure.

Tell him from me that he's a jerk.

Listen up. Here’s the reality as described by the Finns this weekend. They know the Russians, know where Putin is determined to take this and how the West must respond. They have first hand experience with the Kremlin and remember the lessons history taught. Alexander Stubb, President of Finland speaks:

Re intractability:

Some of these patients get by on food stamps of a few hundred per month. Even if they try to eat well they can’t afford to. Many don’t have reliable transportation, and have to walk or beg for rides to get groceries. She describes a local convenience store where avocados are $2.99 each but ramen noodles are $2.50 for a pack of 12. Lots of ramen noodles and Mac and cheese gets purchased at the dollar stores.

This has been a common theme for quite a while. We like to point out the SNAP benefits being used for Oreo cookies as one of the causes for the poor being overweight, but it’s Wonderbread and Hamburger Helper far more than it’s snacks that’s causing the problems.

By the way he used to blog anonymously though his name was discoverable if you tried. He was fearless and would deeply analyze any topic including verboten things like IQ and group differences. Then the NYT was going to run a hit piece on him as part of their anti-Silicon Valley campaign. He got wind of it and deleted his old blog (‘slate star codex’, like Astral Codex Ten, an anagram of his name).

Then NYT never published the piece because the blog was gone minus a cover piece explaining how shitty the Times reporter was.

Then he ‘cancel proofed’ his life. He quit his institutional position (he’s a phsychiatrist I believe) and started ‘better help’ online. Then he reintroduced his blog under the new name and I believe undeleted his original blog.
