Also I've just been "at the gym" for nearly 3 hours because 90+ minutes of my trip here was spent on the phone with a friend while I sat in my car in the parking lot. Typical Thursday shit.

Putin has set up a trap for Trump by repeating his claim that russia is always prepared to negotiate, but cannot negotiate with Zelensky because he's illegitimate. Pu also flatters Trump by referring to the 2020 election as stolen. I hope Trump's advisors hold him off from falling into the trap.

Reminds me of that time I crashed my bike as a little kid, and I told my mom, who always warned me about reckless "hotdogging" in the street, that I fell because I was "trying to be a hamburger." This is instance 184/infinity when it inexplicably occurred to zero adults to screen me for autism.

Drug harms in the UK: a multicriteria decision analysis
These findings lend support to previous work assessing drug harms, and show how the improved scoring and weighting approach of MCDA increases the differentiation between the most and least harmful drugs. However, the findings correlate poorly with present UK drug classification, which is not based simply on considerations of harm.
