@george-k said in Friends and Politics: @mark said in Friends and Politics: Haven't lost any friends, but I sure lost a lot of respect for some of them. Nor have I. But, more than one of our "internet friends" said that they would have no interaction with ANYONE who supported Trump. That's some deep-seated pathology there, coming from people who are supposedly smart and open-minded. Bongino has a name for them. He calls them the Smart Stupid People.

@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/

@jolly said in Reduced sentence: If he had done that at the Capitol, he'd still be in solitary lockdown, probably without a lawyer. Edit: I listened to a podcast on how much Judges hate federal guidelines but it’s been proven their judgement creates distortions in equal treatment.

@doctor-phibes said in Christine Grady, MSN, Ph.D: I hate to be pedantic about it, but Baldrick is his family name, Sod Off was his given. I stand corrected.

@catseye3 said in Toasty: First day for the AC here. Just think what it would be like without it.

Which images, specifically? Most images are loaded from other servers I have no control over. I can only try to do something if I'm given a problem I can reproduce.

Dumb. I haven't bought skim milk in years. Last time was in the 90's I think when fat was bad and sugar was fine.

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]
