    I remember hearing this recording in the early - mid 1970s. I was listening with my friend, and we both looked at each other and said "What the actual FUCK" is that?

    We are on the verge of civil war. It's not a war between democrats and republicans. It's a war between good and evil. I'm afraid that evil will win it.

    I see the oddity. Yet let’s imagine the conditional probability where the first two chords intersect.

    When you place the fifth point you have this:

    B79BEC87-B4A3-4064-82C5-1A30CEA205C6.jpeg

    It’s clear that point 6 has an equal chance of being placed in sections a, b, c, d, or e. Only e gives you three intersections. So p = 1/3 * 1/5.

    Around here, plumbers have to pay taxes to cover the roughly $50k it takes to put area students through high school. At those high schools, they teach journalism, art, music, theater, and other communist indoctrination seminars. Hell, the Duke Ellington School of the Arts is a public school.

    Where's the outrage? #defundpublicschools!

    If it takes $50k to put a kid through high school, you may need to defund.

    It does up here.

    Why so much?

    I don't know if it's so much. It comes to about 40 bucks a day. I'm not sure what's feasible.

    I damn well know (as you probably do) it's not going to the teachers' budgets, though.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in What we must believe.:

    In addition, the reason we have elections is that they're pretty much the only way to find out what the silent majority actually want, as opposed to what we'd like them to think.

    And now, we're being told to disregard this, as it doesn't make sense with what the voices in our head are telling us.

    Almost 50 million voters think this election was rigged. That's not a silent majority, but it's a damn good percentage...

    @Horace said in Mayo Clinic:

    I worked with a team on Mayo recently. But only remotely. I hope they were working remotely too.

    They bought our machines and were using them to test for COVID, and astonishingly were looking at my algorithm. We had a nice discussion, my company put me face forward. Which I think was courageous of them. I don't really know how it turned out. Such are the dynamics of company communication firewalls.

    There are some smart people at Mayo. They like other smart people. You did fine.

    @Jolly said in Warren Speaks:

    Maybe Biden is good for business. He's certainly lousy for charity...

    Like the Biden foundation my foundation (I mean the one I’m on the board of) didn’t give any money to charities. We run programs instead.

    (Though FWIW the last 990 I found for his foundation (2017) they did give 500k to charity)
