    We could probably incorporate as a social issue think tank and apply for grants. That would be a hoot.

    Except I wasn’t referring to any specific case, just like I wasn’t talking about any specific M13 gang member. I was speaking generally about prioritization.

    @89th said in This is disturbing: @Horace said in This is disturbing: On a scale of 1 to 7.3, how concerned are you, True story, yesterday I almost replied to this post asking why you could be so insensitive to have the rating scale max out at a 7.3, out of respect for earthquakes of that magnitude such as Vanuatu last year. And this morning Alaska gets a 7.3 magnitude earthquake, tsunami warnings and all. Sorry about that. Didn't know my own power. But in the words of Louis CK, accidentally causing a huge catastrophe is a small price to pay for the realization that you have the power to cause huge catastrophes whenever you want. It's pretty awesome.

    @AndyD said in 9 years ago today: Here's to the next 9. Do you know who the donor was? Is it all anonymous like the UK? It’s anonymous but you can write to an organization that will forward a letter to the donor family. Then if they choose they can contact you (presumably if you give them your contact info in the letter).

    I know a lot a of good looking women, and none of them would say he was good looking unless he was rich. Just saying.

    Whew. That’s a close call. History knowledge can save a man.

    Not unless they want to get sued. All most places will give is employment dates.

    Have a lifelong friend who was a US Air flight attendant. Funny, when they merged or were bought out by American their pension fund was significantly reduced.

    Mainly due to the dollar plummeting no doubt.

    We really don't have a lot of details about the situation. I can imagine the idea of taking scores of young girls out in a blinding rain storm in the middle of the night doesn't sound like such a great idea - and we don't know what it would have taken to get them to higher ground. I did read that the head of the camp was in favor of a better warning system - but lacking that one would have thought of a plan B as LuFin has suggested.

    @jon-nyc said in Interesting tweet from David Sinclair: It would be easy enough for me to add. My gym has a sauna. Unfortunately they separate men and women so I’d have to be in there with a bunch of sweaty blokes. Mixed sex saunas might extend a number of things, however longevity probably isn’t one of them

    No explanation for how they get water. I doubt the rabbits could terraform the desert without humans bringing in the water. I suspect the report is missing crucial information regarding the water.
