Hi! I'm still figuring this out. There's been a brain drain on X, outside of the crazy politics. I've missed reading people's expertise and thoughts on a huge range of subjects. I'm hoping to find them again here.

So yeah some of them do need a lecture. The behavior of both cars and pedestrians has gotten way more dangerous and distracted in my observations

I love bikes however some dumb college student launched themselves in front of my moving car just yesterday - nearly ruining both our lives. The 20 something set don't even look when crossing the street. Forget defensive- I'd settle for awake.

It doesn't. It seems like at last contact the OP swore at him and hung up. He was writing, inartfully to try to save the friendship and to explain that he was in pain. His political views may be heinous beyond discussion and beyond any meaningful friendship. But what he said was not.

That sounds like an apology to me and an olive branch to me. It's not perfect. You don't have to accept it. But that's the category of communication he offered, imo.

That is great. What about endometerial cancer ? Also woefully underfunded but never mentioned even as cases increase, as I unfortunately know first hand.

I don't have anywhere near that much money and if I did have it - I don't know that I would donate the full amount. I'd like to think that I would, of course.

You are right that some injuries may impact those lucky long life genes, IF you have them, environmental luck and choices factor in. But articles like this bother me because if you have average genes which of course most of us do, there's nothing you can do to extend your life for this long.

You absolutely cannot live to 100 let alone 114 without rare polygenetic factors in your favor including FOX103. In a perfect life ( whatever that is) and making every right decision you still won't live as long as this woman without the extraordinary genetic luck.

constantbliss.bsky.social @constantbliss.bsky.social · 03/07/2025
The only way to live to 114 is to be gifted with super long life genes and extraordinary luck. If that is not the case then dying earlier would be the result of a minor character flaw or not being idiosyncratic enough, and it's not.

I am convinced a major factor in the tariff disaster is that Trump has so consistently been met with cowardice and capitulation from every quarter in American politics that he imagined other countries would just as easily fold to bullying.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

The other side is saying he was talking to a reporter - not that it matters much but that also makes sense. Whoever he was talking to he's obviously repeatedly told that he's top of the world. Talking to any adult like that at 4 is wild

Today, we at Google have a new product: what if you could could ask an app a question? Oh, we do that already? Well, what if we were a little bit worse at it? What if we also sometimes gave you egregiously wrong information? And what if it cost a billion dollars? Still not interested? It's mandatory

Here it is - you may be right. He wanted cheaper simpler satellites, perhaps this doesn't mean ones that wouldn't last as long - although common sense would suggest that. arstechnica.com/information-...

I am sure that Canada has more fentanyl coming in from the US than we have coming in. The drug runners run through rural Vermont, where there is little policing. Hence Vermont has a lot of people with fentanyl addictions. I saw this on a Netflix show 6 years ago or so.

Something else I've heard through the grapevine is that the settlement conferences for the EPA for water quality have all been cancelled stalled or delayed. Communities that have spent years collecting data and were due to get Federal assistance to clean up their water have been left high and dry.
