Unwieldy is right. But thanks!

Yeah, you got to be careful getting too excited about what gets leaked from congressional committees, especially those with explicitly partisan remits. Truth seekers they are not.

@Copper That is mildly interesting. 555

@LuFins-Dad Well, you can’t really tell what you’re looking at. Though the tunnel system extends for hundreds of miles, in any one place the topology could be far more simple and you could see local area flooding quite rapidly. At any rate if it’s real we’ll get confirmation soon enough.

By the way, I've seen lidocaine-induced seizures (or close to it) and it's scary. OTOH, if the abortionist used Marcaine (bupivicaine) that could be much much worse because Marcaine has a tendency to bind to cardiac muscle/conduction fibers causing very difficult-to-treat arrhythmias.

I did too. But they started playing like Joe’s team. Browning did a great job. If he continues to improve we might have a shot.

He's an asshole. Who knew?

Fuck 'em. January 6. It's the only thing that's important. That, and a new HQ building. Fuck 'em.

If what’s coming out now about Bojo’s time as PM is at all true, I wouldn’t doubt it. He was a looser cannon than I imagined at the time. Dr. Phibes was quite right about Bojo’s ineptitude as a PM.

I know Serhii Plokhy from when he was at the University of Alberta Institute of Ukrainian Studies back in the 1990’s. I have regularly corresponded with him as a member of an informal email group of Canadian Russia watchers that tries to get together via Zoom every quarter to sort out the world. Serhii knows what he’s talking about.

I went to a vegan place in Providence recently. OK, I was talked into it by the management. It was surprisingly good - I'd definitely go back there

I knew it, I clicked it, I head-bopped to it.

Ah I didn't take the $8 warranty the hospital offered.

@George-K said in The Invisible Hand: The interesting thing is that some are interpreting Musk's comment this way: "You think your dollars can influence what I display/say on MY platform? Go fuck yourself, you just admitted that. Spare me the sanctimony." I'm not sure how that interpretation differs from the obvious one, but the fuller context of what he said was "do you think you can blackmail me with money? GFY...". The obvious interpretation being that the richest person in the world can't be influenced by money. He goes on to say that advertiser boycotts could kill the company, though. And if X died, that would affect even Musk's money. Somehow he considered it important that the public would decide whether the advertisers would be considered at fault for the destruction of X. I didn't quite track the meaning of that. I don't think the advertisers have anything at stake if X dies. Something else will spring up to take its place, and the diffuse responsibility for X's demise would not land heavily on any one company.

Hint for Tablo users - do not try to use it with a Roku Express, not powerful enough to handle the throughput. Off, because it worked fine with cable. I had to buy an Ultra but it works great now.
