@george-k said in Goofy Characters: @doctor-phibes said in Goofy Characters: Here's an explanation https://askleo.com/why_do_i_get_odd_characters_instead_of_quotes_in_my_documents/ Yeah, I saw that article. Is there anything I can do at MY end to prevent that? unsub.

ProPublica is not disclosing how it obtained the data, which was given to us in raw form, with no conditions or conclusions. ProPublica reporters spent months processing and analyzing the material to transform it into a usable database. I hope they lock these guys up. And if the rich guys paid what they owed, the rest of it is OK with me.

Interesting article about productivity and heat. I don’t think it’s too far a stretch to apply to learning. Note one conclusion 3% drop in productivity for each degree above a certain temperature. https://epic.uchicago.edu/news/hot-temperatures-decrease-worker-productivity-economic-output/

Dunno...sounds ok to me...

Well, knives and scissors and sutures haven’t changed much in hundreds of years. All the other stuff is just fluff.

@aqua-letifer said in Would somebody please attack me?: @jolly said in Would somebody please attack me?: I could use the $100,000... You're an older Republican white guy—you ain't gettin' shit. Honestly, though, if you start identifying as someone who fancies dudes, and write a handful of Facebook posts talking about how oppressive that is, considering your age, your peers, and where you live, you'd set yourself up nicely for an equity windfall. Dude, I ain't the one with the Bull Rope hairdo...

@klaus said in This sounds totally legit, right?: Just because Kimball owned Bösendorfer for a few years every Kimball piano is now a Bösendorfer? Absolutely. And I've got a Ferrari for sale.... [image: fiat-500-1957-edition-ogi.jpg]
