I forget, have I ranted at you about what military procurement can teach us about rail infrastructure project delivery and cost control?

Someone on tiktok said the joke about " Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side" Isn't about the chicken crossing the road... But getting hit by a car and dying? Is that for real? Is that what that joke means??

I am a survivor of SA. I am SO TIRED of having my feed filled with MORE SAs happening and more r@pists holding positions of power like President, Sec Def, SCOTUS, etc. while other people in positions of power protect the r@pists instead of their victims.

Since the projects are technically duplexes, they can use the residential code. That alone provides considerable cost savings.

And it seems like when individuals retire, entire research programs die with them. I haven't seen any useful fire research out of NIST since Richard Bukowski retired, for example. Robert Wyly's retirement clearly also was a huge blow to their plumbing research.

A 2,300-year-old silver container in the shape of a scallop-shell decorated with an octopus 🐙 It may once have held cosmetics. From Paternò, Sicily. Altes Museum, Berlin 📷 by me #Archaeology
My photo shows a silver shell-shaped container with an eight-armed octopus in relief at the centre of the lid. The arms of the octopus curl outwards across the ridges of the shell’s surface. This ornate shell container has a hinged lid and may once have been a cosmetic container . It is displayed on a clear stand in a museum case. Dimensions: 13.3 × 13.2 × 3 cm. It is part of the Silver Treasure from Paternò, Sicily, a hoard discovered in 1909, consisting of tableware and toiletries. Dated 4th-3rd century BC.

Russia is not my enemy. After Moscow is properly occupied by the EU/NATO/Ukraine and after the Russian state is de-Putinized and democratized, I can see Russia thrive inside the EU, even if some former officers who served in Ukraine participate in it, even if it's led by annoying Navalnyites.

I think the reason I was so angry at Tammy Duckworth and anyone defending her is because I inherently don’t really trust anyone who doesn’t have a bone deep, nearly all-consuming desire to get revenge on these assholes.

Yeah, the state of civics education in high school is bad, and not just in the US. Israeli teachers complain about same a lot, and it's a mandatory subject on the end-of-high-school test, the Bagrut, too. I just don't think required history courses at university are going to fix that.

This didn't surprise me, but I think it might surprise some people, so it bears repeating. Uecker was not simply the voice of the team, not simply the mascot or 26th man or a civic figure; he was a sort of monarch there to advise and consult. A totally unique role, and he never sought it.

Unsure if there is a fixed name for it. It is a combination of Taggart‘s Heartland, Bourdieu‘s Logic of Practice and Geertz‘ Common Sense. Oliver Geden wrote his dissertation about it, but AFAIK he has not been working on populism for years. Last time I checked he worked at SWP in Berlin on energy
