"Smart enough to build it on one CPU". This guy has no clue about either math or computer hardware.

This looks like the world's best latke. I'm drooling.

We'll see. It's starting to feel like 1994 in reverse. I hope.

Yeah. Some non-parents, and even some parents, seem to think that kids are infinitely malleable blank slates. They aren't.

I'm sure nobody on either side trusts him for a millisecond. Who would hire this wreck to lobby for them?

Akane, Zestar and Pink Pearl from the Hood River valley in Oregon.

Bregman's dad is about as big a wheel as you can be in NM (where I used to live). Used to be head of the state Dem party, currently the DA in Albuquerque, just lost the primary to replace the current term-limited governor. His law firm used to advertise on the Isotopes Park cupholders.

Yes (I'm in Oregon) but it isn't getting reported much nationally.

This is idiot bait. Every pro knows how illegal this is and what the consequences will be when some semblance of honesty is restored.

The same thing is happening in Oregon right now. Almost all of the fires are in the only Republican district.

I am married to Evelyn (42 years). This understates the situation.

A few years ago I was in Seattle and heard him get that kind of treatment. He hit the first pitch of the game into Edgar's Cantina.

Does "inventory rebuild" mean that people aren't buying the end products?

Mea culpa for reacting before fully parsing, but I really think that we have to keep telling ourselves explicitly that these objects are in fact nothing more than objects in order to avoid being lulled into acceptance. We're too adaptable for our own good sometimes.

The correct pronoun is "it". William Gibson figured that out over 40 years ago.

TBF, as much as I hate to, that's part of life past 70. I wonder more about what's happening outside of those appointments, especially the IV bruises.

Antivaxxers are child abusers, period. I predate the measles vaccine and so one of my earliest memories is being absolutely miserable from the disease. I knew a couple of older kids who would go through the rest of their lives with leg braces from polio. Fuck those people.

Multiple mainstream sites are reporting a movement in the House to expel multiple members at once in a way that maintains the current balance.

Is it a desire to please people, or is it an understanding that being liked by the target is a big advantage?

To clarify a bit, that's Rio Grande Village in Big Bend NP, not Rio Grande City near Brownsville - which IIRC set its own record a few days ago.

Webb somehow accomplished that with only 86 pitches, so I guess the plan was to get him stretched out one way or another.

Frito Pie was (reputedly) invented in Santa Fe. That's why they're so good. Open a bag of Fritos, pour in cheese and red chile. All you need.

Late to this, sorry. There's absolutely a whole lot of that but if a kid has talent it's a parent's duty to support that. Plus, some esoteric sports only have a few venues so some travel at least is required with a lot more at any level of competition.

Recommended age is 45, 40 if there's a family history, or 10 years before the age of the family member at their diagnosis.

And in a few years maybe it's travel team time. Your turn to chaperone.

I like the hookers and blow angle but - I saw a report that he isn't/wasn't demented but has/had some other medical issue. I used to live very near there; you could make yourself hard to find in a hurry if you didn't plan to come out.

Bad color balance aside, that guy doesn't look well.

My guess is that this is really a simple, sad story. It would be very easy to disappear into the Sandia foothills if you were fit enough to do so and didn't plan to come out.

Admit that I misremembered his birthplace but he's in Canada because the U of Toronto gave him an endowed chair. He's no grifter and he knows how dictatorships happen.

He's Canadian and spends a lot of time in Ukraine.

I wonder if Khamenei chose to be a martyr here. He must have known that his compound was a main target.

I'd go further. You don't really have a fully fleshed out idea until you try to communicate it.

RedHat updates overnight and I come in to 400 automated emails with several more showing up every minute. Or, why I retired.
