    My favorite reviewer thought it was a comfort blanket, though a flawed one. Link to video The other reviews I've heard or read are not that impressed.

    I guess I will always have the memories of the peaches we picked at the u-pick in California. It was mid to late season and we were naughty and broke the rules because the most perfect peaches were actually on the ground, and you could just bite them and it was just the most perfect peach.

    @jon-nyc said: I had no idea. I always thought the 'Student's t test' was a strange name, I didn't realize it was named, or rather, misnamed after a person. And the work history is fantastic. https://x.com/fermatslibrary/status/2065822630372905268?s=20 Would have been interesting to be a smart person in a day where it actually statistically mattered. I suppose most of the posters on this board would have been a revered intellectual when societies conformed to the number, what's that guy's name ... and I just asked ChatGPT, it's Dunbar's number.

    Imagine those who hold that socially encouraged point of view, but who do have an IQ over 70. Witness the black lawyers. Like Jasmine Crockett, or Dominique whatever his name is, who the Anthony family hired. Or maybe that attorney hired the Anthony family. I do suspect that's actually how it worked. But these things are complicated.

    Genuine question - what’s the rationale (even just the official one) for banning Fable/Mythos just for non-US citizens? The US is not lacking in motivated hackers/criminals and surely hacker/criminal networks can find themselves a US citizen.

    Received a new Constitution booklet from Turning Point USA. It contains the U.S. Constitution (including the 27 Amendments). The front cover shows the image of the head of a bald eagle, the Statue of Liberty, the Freedom Tower, and Mount Rushmore. The front inside cover shows an image of Charlie Kirk. The back cover shows an image of Ronald Reagan. No image of Trump.

    It’s so weird when I see his Bluesky posts. On his legal podcast he’s quite reasonable. Then I see these posts and wonder if it’s the same guy. In fairness I only see his posts if they’re extreme enough to go viral.
