To what extent is the elevated rate of autism among the offspring of such pairings due to the parents skewing older? Of course age at parenthood is highly correlated with rotatorhood, I would imagine, but I’ve never seen anyone try to tease out the magnitudes of each effect individually

I didn’t realize the Sri Lankan mafia had such a global presence! Do their sworn enemies hail from the state of Tamil-ipas?

Adderall doesn’t just restore executive function to baseline
What exactly do you mean by this? That Adderall can boost executive function to superhuman (or super-non-enhanced-human) levels?
Coming right up. We also have Rent-free-erra Mist, Pepseethe, or — if you’d care for something a tad stronger — Yikes Hard Lemonade and our signature cocktail, Have Sex on the Beach

12 pack of Busch Light, a can of Cope
Baby, that's all we need
Big fan of Cope Zero myself, but nothing beats a good, seething can of Cringeina

One wonders whether this is, in fact, the active ingredient. That is, the middle managers know that they don’t really add anything of value, hence they spend their days coming up with more and more byzantine regulations, while also maintaining a tacit understanding/distributed consensus of which rules really need to be followed to the letter and which can be safely ignored. Once the rot is sufficiently entrenched, the middle management class can kick back and relax, secure in the knowledge that they can credibly threaten what is effectively a (distributed?) work-to-rule strike, should anything threaten their overinflated status

As an American, my vague impression was that the Canadian confederation of provinces had, if anything, even less centralization of power at the federal level than in the US. In particular, the absence of anything like the Interstate Commerce Clause means that Canadian provinces can and do get into trade wars with each other. And moreover my understanding was that the famed Canadian healthcare “system”—which is misunderstood by nearly all political commentators in the US—was in reality administered by each province separately, with the federal government’s role relegated to transferring money from one province to another.
Is my understanding correct? If so, could it be that Canadian federal politics sees no pushback against the Laurentian elite because (to steal a quote about academic politics) the stakes are so low?

and she is willing to proverbially kill this sacred cow, something that is incredibly alluring to a sapiosexual
I’ve never been able to take the term sapiosexual entirely seriously, because in the Malay language, sapi means cow. Nominative Etymological determinism strikes again?

Why should we assume that the simulation is run by Hawking radiation in particular? If indeed we are in a simulation, it could well be the case that the universe containing the "hardware" running the simulation has free energy from sources other than Hawking radiation.
In fact, there is no strong reason a priori to assume that the universe-containing-the-simulator is similar to our (supposedly simulated) universe in any way whatsoever, except for similarities that are required for a simulation to exist in the first place -- so, for example, we can safely assume that the universe-containing-the-simulator has a nonzero amount of free energy ... that is, unless the assumption that computation requires free energy is itself a requirement only in our (simulated?) universe, and not a universal multiversal truth!

So instead of trying to build a coalition of like-minded scientific advisors in the administration, it sounds like Atlas just threw up his hands and refused to play ball. One might even say that Atlas shrugged 🤷♂️
