It strikes me that there's more than a bit of Star Trek going on here.

Q and The Dominion?

And it is widely believed that the former president was in fact a Ferengi.

He certainly tried to klingon to power

Red wine everywhere.

@jon-nyc said in NY Opens up vaccines:

Anyone over 30 starting tomorrow.

Anyone 16+ starting a week from tomorrow.

So much inequality with industrious people getting to the front of the line because it takes resilience to find a vaccine. Proud of NY but not sure why the woke aren’t screMing bloody murder. Would love to see vaccinated percent by zip code. I could be wrong.

Hilarious!

Super Bowl 53

Something exciting happened football-wise that I just gotta talk about. Because I don't want to hijack the thread -- something I hardly ever do -- I'll spoil the rest.

:::

The most amazing coincidence. I was reading Sherman and Wedge's book 12: The Inside Story of Tom Brady's Fight for Redemption, and it told in great detail -- five chapters worth! -- what happened in Superbowl LI. Man alive, it was the most exciting thing I've ever redd in nonfiction. You couldn't have pried me away with a crowbar. This was yesterday. Found out this very morning that I redd it on the anniversary of that incredible game. Was that like kismet or what???

Dang, I envy the people who were there to witness that game.

I can not comprehend anybody complaining about this.

First, I wasn't complaining about transportation. I was complaining about the digitalizing. Second, I wasn't complaining about waste but about the timing. But as George pointed out, the project was approved far earlier than the doing of it, so I could've been out about that.

Super interesting that "memsahib" is a mainstream(ish) British term.

It's not really, now. Back in the 1950's, maybe. And possibly in whatever gentleman's club the editor of the Daily Telegraph spends his Wednesday evenings.

The British approach of giving almost everybody the first vaccination, even it means delaying the booster, seems to have worked, at least for now.

Think what this means, though. "Wife liberal, husband conservative" could be a kind of shorthand for widespread differences in viewpoints beyond politics.

I would hope so, since your political beliefs are curated, sent to you and exposed to you based on some AI and those messages are radicalized to get you to click and look at ads.

To think people think very little anymore, just constant indoctrination. Religions and the Khmer Rouge re-education camps move over.

Those prone to emotional thinking are also prone to believe based on the anecdotes they are fed. Those prone to logical thinking might first consider that this is an anecdote, and why am I aware of it? The emotional thinkers never get past their initial response to the anecdote. Then they gang up, take control of the cultural messaging, and ostracize the thinkers.

HINT: Let X be the commemorative coin; suppose you weigh it against a random other coin A. If it tips, you're done; otherwise weigh X and A against random B and C, and if they balance, weigh X, A, B, and C against four others. Can that scheme fail?

It is not the government's job to plan anyone's life

A non sequitur for the topic at hand. No one here says it's the government's job to plan anyone's life.
