Finished Sharpe’s Tiger by Bernard Cornwell. I’d love to read more historical fiction of this quality, especially set in India.

Arklatex sounds like software for reverting typeset math into bad handwriting.

Dungeon Crawler Carl, on the third book. It’s decently fun after the disappointing “The Devils” from Abercrombie.

The latter was not that bad, by the way. I just have to accept that Abercrombie will never reach the level of his first five books again.

Hamas would have scavenged such a facility long before it produced anything. Rockets now or nukes later? The decision practically makes itself.

I feel like you’re omitting the story of your Hock.

Awesome! It warms my smooth pate to see Bayes in the wild.

You have P(dad is bald | son is balding). If you can find P(bald) and P(born to a bald dad) - assuming the latter doesn’t impact the sex ratio - you could use Bayes’ Theorem instead of searching for P(son is balding | dad is bald).

It must take tremendous restraint to avoid the phrase “pissed off” in sharing this story.

“anti-woke-right” needs parentheses or something for clarification.

For reference, where do you stand on Worth The Candle and Mother of Learning?

If Mistborn is at all representative, there’s a long way to fall yet.

Trace,

At some point in the past, iirc in a discussion of LibsOfTiktok, I wrote that you can be counted upon to investigate only in the political direction that doesn’t threaten your daily kibble. I was wrong and you have my apology.

Topical for Greenwald and maybe his opposition!

Braces -> LISP -> lisping -> male homosexuality -> also topical for Greenwald with some stretching? So maybe brackets.

This is what necropapers are for.

He blocked Hillary and McCain from the presidency.

How is CalState LA mid-tier?

The untranslated word in his mind was almost certainly “pidoraz.” He was picturing child molestors where you pictured consenting homosexuals.

Nitpick: the abstract says that the effect of home team losses on rates of DV goes up by 10% in the presence of gambling, not that DV goes up by 10%. I wonder if there is a corresponding improvement for victories.

MTF and FTM would leave no ambiguity.

Langrisser is great for F2P challenge accounts with a deliberately gimped roster. Arknights is also good in that regard.

The guy has an obvious personal preference for the welcoming and affurming faction. It is to his credit that he brought up the FAA thing at all rather than accept it as part of the cost (or worse, benefit) of his faction being in power.

Better yet, the prostitute is a therapist moonlighting for extra cash.

Seconding the First Law, with the caveat that some of the (six) protagonists fail pretty hard on the hypocrisy metric.

For the purposes of such an American thread, wouldn’t a merkin serve better?

Trump. After the tremendous bad faith of the Covid response, the summer of BLM, and the social media control shenanigans of the last election, I’d take Xi or MBS (or even Putin, if I had no connection to the war zone) over any Dem.
