Was at the world cycling championship women’s elite race in Montreal today. Demi Vollering won; I got a picture of her and the top three finishers on the last lap. One thing they don’t show on TV is the sweep car

Turkeys (the bird) are named in most languages after the place they are believed to have come from. In England they were imported from the Ottoman Empire. In Turkey, they are called “Indias”. In India, they are called “Perus”.

Crap, I emphasized the wrong syllable, you’re correct

Now I’m double checking and heard one pronunciation video that kind of collapses it into “knife” (or “knieef”), so maybe it’s shifting

000

David Hofer @hofer.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

It’s related to “naive” and “native”, from a Latin word roughly meaning “born”, as in “just born” (naive/ignorant) or “born there” (native).

David Hofer @hofer.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

I believe I heard you say it like “knife”, but it’s NIGH-eef

I hate to report this, but fyi I was listening to one of your podcasts today and I think maybe you mispronounced “naif”

My solar + electric system just crossed over to being a net exporter for the year to date. It’ll probably go back to being a net importer in November or December, but I’m enjoying it for now

If it were a lab leak (which it seems not to be), what would satisfy them? The Chinese government saying, “Oh, our bad, sorry”? All scientists promising not to do directed evolution? I struggle to see any rational goal in them pursuing this

I’ve realized Boston will never go on Atlantic time because half the people want the current amount of daylight in the morning, and I think my ideal place to live may be the Upper Peninsula in Michigan, for the cooler summers and later sunsets

Just read this morning there’s an effort to get rideshare drivers in Massachusetts to use EVs because they drive far more miles on average than anyone else, and I like how pragmatic my state is, overall
