What's the latest on the Duke - BYU volleyball racist heckler? Has it been confirmed/corroborated yet, or is it looking like a hoax?

It's linguistic gerrymandering

Olives are delicious

You could say the same for scientology.

Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe. It's literary enough to hit the checkpoints, and the story just rocks. Plenty of essays to be written about what it all means, especially during its reading before it all comes together.

I continue to visit my family three sundays a month for a family dinner, they're my favorite people and it keeps me grounded.

Diaspora was so good, I've read it three times.

Blindsight by Peter Watts

Three Body Problem trilogy by Cixin Liu

Anathem by Neal Stephenson

I'm here for procedurally-generated, tailored buildings.

Economic leftists oppose excessive immigration. It moves the supply and demand curve of labor in favor of employers, and is also shown to reduce the workforce's propensity to unionize or otherwise collectively bargain.

I enjoyed it a lot, I wish there were more shows like it. It was quantum computing, not AI though.

Freshly laundered, cold cotton, and freshly laundered, cold cotton.

blond denizens of the Mountain West have not got one scrap of imagination above the banal.

But boy do they make good FBI agents.

In The Expanse, the mormons are the ones to fund and launch a generation ship.

I don't think this was a Florida play, as much as it was a national overture laying more groundwork for a potential presidential run.

The 50 migrants didn't last a day before they were removed from a rich people's playground. Immigrants for thee, etc.

there are a lot of psychological traits that are worthwhile besides just intelligence - honesty, conscientiousness, perseverance, a sense for fairness, and so forth.

These are all fluid in a way that intelligence is not. I can practice radical honesty, I can force my self to be more conscientious, etc. Intelligence is a hard limit on potential, and no such thing exists for how many lies I tell.

There's self-selected groups that have every combination of intelligence/athleticism.

Have you ever seen Shutter Island?

Heat shock proteins bro

State parks

equality, diversity, and inclusion

The E in DEI is actually 'equity', which is an altogether different concept that equality. It focuses on outcomes and historical redress, instead of opportunity.

Farm league

Packers fan also. Their defense played really well against a delpleted Bucs team, and Doubs is coming into himself, which is really good to see. I was really happy to see Bakhtiari on the field again, what a long recovery.

The suspense is terrible, I hope it lasts.

Three times is enemy action

You used to be able to use imperfect queries to get what you wanted.
