A tragic car crash in Missouri yesterday was captured on a video from a neighbor's home. In the video you can see a car flying through the air at a high rate of speed before it slammed into a house.

The female driver was killed in the crash.

Luckily, several people who were inside the home at the time escaped injury.

More Russian saber rattling.

Ah, the TDS is strong within you...

@Horace True it doesn’t prove causality, but those other countries were much more flat than the US prior to the Great Recession. Our price inflation started matching theirs (as % of gdp) only after 2009-10

Doesn't stop me from being pissed about the original deal he was cut.

A long but very interesting piece on recent military and political events. The analysis on how European diplomacy is functioning is insightful.

@89th you’re acutie.

MSNBC would cost a lot less than Twitter..

It would be much funnier if Babylon Bee bought it.

I need to re-read the book.

@Klaus said in Why you stay fat:

I don't quite understand how this is supposed to work.

The body can't make fat out of thin air.

Unless you eat more than you burn, you won't get fat.

So you'd only get fatter if either that "memory" somehow causes you to eat more, or somehow causes you to burn less.

Without reading the study, I'd say that the fat cells are more efficient at converting any extra calories above the ketoric state into fat.

@89th said in Say goodbye to FEMA…:

I think ya'll are making this out more than it is. Idiot FEMA contractors sending texts or messages under the idea of minimizing hostile interactions and risk.

Yes, 99% unacceptable to ever say to skip houses because of political signs, but if we want to go down that slippery slope, would it be advisable to tell black FEMA workers to possibly avoid houses with Nazi signs out front?

Again, it's 99% wrong, but I can see why a dummy employee would make that mistake. This isn't official policy coming down from leadership, but I haven't really dug into the details.

One-off is a one-off. This current stuff sounds like institutional culture.

My wife would've wanted to throw away all the bags. Then sell the house.

I wish you were kidding.

Bad actors.

Not a bad idea, @Axtremus

I bought some crypto in 2021 and 2022 with the sole idea of just letting it sit and checking on it in 10-20 years. It's enough to be meaningful (I think $10k) but not enough to hurt my retirement if it's lost. I think it's at $25k right now. If I check in 15 years and it's gone... oh well. But maybe it'll be 10x higher.

The more scary fact is none of the states are above replacement rate.
