    @blondie said in Reflections on college visits:

    (We colonists have to acknowledge & apologize).

    You're not a colonist and you don't owe anyone an apology.

    More generally, why is it we recognize how foul and dangerous it is to tie ethnicities to territories when the European right does it ("Blut und Boden") but somehow its ok when "First (sic) Nations" do it?

    Also, why is the second to last group to conquer a territory special? Why not third to last? Or fourth?

    The whole ideology is intellectually vacuous.

    Why? Why not? He already toured McGill and (since he was there) Concordia. He'll tour University of Toronto in April along with US schools in the midwest. He's also been to a couple of schools in London, though he's not interested in being that far away.

    Mayla just got back from Mexico less than 2 weeks ago but she was on the carribean side. I have no immediate plans to go. Puerta Vallarta is nice. Or was anyway.

    Yes, and that's a video of cartel goons setting fire to a gas station. They're committing violence all over Jalisco in response to the Mexican Army's killing of the cartel leader.

    Mike Lee is a senator who used to be one of these intellectual types that would do the podcast circuit talking about how Congress had shirked its duty and given too much power to the executive. (hence the 'Article I project' - Article I is the part of the constitution that describes congressional power).

    Now he's whining that the other side doesn't want Federal officers to behave like drug gang hitmen.

    He used to be the ‘Article 1 Project’ guy. Now he’s making fun of “leftists” who don’t want US Federal officers to act like Mexican drug cartel hitmen .

    He’s narrowed it down to either medicine or aerospace engineering. With a minor in music.

    In fairness they were still setting up. They may not have seen them yet.

    @Klaus I did a pilgrimage of sorts* to see his gravesite at Pere Lechaise, that’s enough for one lifetime.

    *All the way from Chopin’s grave, a good 500m.

    By the way, we saw the college republicans setting up a booth at Berkeley. Brave young souls.

    So my flights are canceled. I guess I’m going to dial in.

    When I’m not shoveling.

    In NY nobody picks people up from the airport. It would be the rudest imposition to ask or expect it. I’d sooner ask someone to shovel my driveway.

    When my ex girlfriend’s dad and his wife would visit from Romania, I’d send them a black car, but there’s no way I’d pick them up.

    At UCLA, did you see the Jim Morrison locker?

    Nope. They didn’t mention it.

    @taiwan_girl said in Reflections on college visits:

    Familiar a bit with UCLA and a bit with USC. Like you, I like both campuses. But, not a "fan" of the area around USC once you step off the campus. To me, it is pretty rundown area. I know that they have volunteer "police" that patrol the neighborhoods outside of campus proper and provide walking escorts, etc. as needed, but I still would not feel real safe there. UCLA is to me, in a much better neighborhood.

    We noticed that too. Also the university has a deal with Lyft for free rides for students in the evenings within a certain radius of school. There’s a reason the place is so expensive.

  • My first drive of an EV
    jon-nycJ jon-nyc

    I think it makes sense in general but should it really be more per unit of time than the charge itself? Also it should vary by time of day. No one was coming to charge from 10pm-4am.
