After I get Texas plates, my biography will be that I am from Wisconsin. Where’s the fun in that? Die your hair purple and get a shirt made that says “Ha Ha We Stole The Election” I am used to being a political pariah, so it'll feel just like home.

What kind of lunatic do you have to be to attack that viciously.

I wonder whether Hollywood will apologize for their apology.

"Observability" in artificial intelligence is a big problem. A lot of times the scientists/engineers who came a up with an AI system cannot fully explain why the system produces the results it produces.

@Jolly said in Hungry: Darn phag. lol. I’ll be at a scientific conference on macrophages in 3 weeks.

@Mik said in Bernie is concerned: Y’know,Copper, this is the first election cycle where that’s a real issue. Bushwa... I was assured by countless psychiatrists and psychologists that Trump was mentally deranged and should be removed from office.

The more important points - it’s moving beyond where it was 20 years ago… I worked at a “Home School Convention” back in the mid-2000’s offering music lesson programs and such. All of the curriculum on display were of two types. One had books titled “Why do we have 2 eyes, 2 arms, and 2 legs? Because God loves the number 2!” and the other was kind of a weird mix between Earth Mothers and Conspiracy Theorists. Today there are legitimate opportunities. as the homeschooling community and private schools grow, funding gets cut for the public schools which then feeds into more people going to private schools or homeschooling…Sooner or later you build more momentum towards school choice.

Amen.

I hope we look back on this in the future and collectively wonder what the hell were we thinking?

He's a hoot, because it's not an act. Try working with him. He's a politician, of course, but he's sharp as a tack (or at least he was 6 or 7 years ago) and he excels at budgeting and money matters.

@Doctor-Phibes said in US Federal Budget - Record Reduction in Deficit: @Jolly said in US Federal Budget - Record Reduction in Deficit: At a certain point, the numbers mean nothing. So why not increase the deficit? It wouldn’t make any difference, right? Just like Karl Rove claimed. It only hastens our day of reckoning.

@taiwan_girl said in Reagan Reacts: @Mik said in Reagan Reacts: @Axtremus said in Reagan Reacts: @Mik said in Reagan Reacts: Very. Some of his successors just look like midgets by comparison. Just the Republican ones. Reagan will not be able to get through the Republican primary today. Partisan hack. Mik, how do you think President Reagan transplanted with his thoughts and policies to modern Republican Party would do? I kind of think that Ax is correct. He would have trouble in primary, but maybe do well in the general election if he made it there. I don’t often agree with Ax, and I certainly don’t here. Reagan’s message was not so different at its core. But he was also president at a time when communications and journalism was very, very different.
