    Cuba would seem to be an easier target. Isolated like Iran, but does not have the 'reach" like Iran, and other than exporting medical assistance to other third world countries, they don't have many (or any) things to hold hostage over the US.

    Her name was Yvonne, not Jesús. Why do you automatically assume it was a Hispanic male driver, @jon-nyc ?

    I just started back to HIIT on the Airdyne the past week or so. Supposed to build VO2 max faster. I’m getting upwards of 110-120 bpm. Plateaued at 67 lbs on weight loss even thought my waist keeps shrinking. Maybe the weight training. I didn’t have to work this hard in my 30s. Grr.

    @taiwan_girl Not sure if it will be enough. At the moment, voters seem to have had enough of PM Orbán. Maybe not quite enough yet… https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/dispatches/dont-count-orban-out-yet-hungarys-opposition-faces-an-uphill-battle-on-april-12/?utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-94UJAwx1jgnFaa0Ka7EJjt_3Gjp0vNqBZu19xbTkOrZrE9j0DXbAa-yNTRIoRgQWhUOcQmbPEX6b5yigBCyidPQ5MevA&_hsmi=412665873&utm_content=412665873&utm_source=hs_email

    I don’t doubt his motivations either and think him to be genuinely sincere. Embedded in that essay was the notion that actually it might work out ok. Agreed. While he has hope that reason over passion will prevail, he also has faith that robust established institutions of checks and balances will continue to ensure the rule of law over unfettered power.

    I’ve had lots of Cannanau while vacationing in Liguria. You don’t see it much outside of that area of the Mediterranean. Nice.

    Yesterday was our yearly listening of JCS. I have an original vinyl pressing, a remastered vinyl pressing from just a couple of years ago and an original reel to reel tape. We listened to the tape yesterday. The new remastered 45rpm Alan Parsons Project, A Turn of a Friendly Card arrived Friday. It's a great album.

    Well, my two quantum stocks are up about 8x so hopefully it will continue to go up so that I can afford a gallon of gas.

    Factor in the number of graduates in each field and it might have something.

    @jon-nyc said: From a new Finnish study. https://x.com/suzylebo/status/2040485163252031698?s=46 This is nothing new. Peterson laid it out quite well over a decade ago. Gender Dysphoria is not the root cause , it’s a symptom. The fact that in over 90% of the cases it actually resolves itself through puberty tells you everything you need to know…
