It's linguistic gerrymandering

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.

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.

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

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

But boy do they make good FBI agents.

I've started taking a psyllium fiber powder several times a day, and a lot of my GI issues went away, I think I'm going to stick with it for the long term. From my reading, it's weakly beneficial in a lot of different ways.

Olives are delicious

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

Have you ever seen Shutter Island?

EVE Online for MMOs

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

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

Induction needs bigger 'burners', they're often only 6 inches and can warp cookware because of uneven heating.

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

Three times is enemy action

The suspense is terrible, I hope it lasts.

The gas stove emissions in queation are NOx, not particulates

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.

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

You could say the same for scientology.

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.

Farm league

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

State parks

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