You are seriously attacking him for speculation from 26 years ago?

One of the best parts of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was the fudge recipe at the end of the book.

This is just a death of expertise take. I assume that people who have spent years studying the subject are better than the masses who just want to get somewhere faster.

It goes beyond the antisemitism to harassment of coworkers. From yesterday. Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to keep a Haverford College professor in prison until trial as he faces a charge of cyberstalking and accusations of antisemitic harassment of a coworker. 6abc.com/post/haverfo...

Israel has no Charter and it's declaration of independence calls on Arab residents to take part in building the state with full citizenship. 20% of Israeli citizens are arab.

I do not think that you post in good faith, look up Tesla's fatalities yourself, and their corrupt acts in hiding and erasing data. TSLA is crime.

You are splitting some mighty thin hairs. Tesla sells AV as self driving, with an asterisk. The deaths are almost all because of Tesla.

I might be misunderstanding your claim, because as near as I can tell Tesla AV has been involved in dozens of fatal crashes.

I did that recently with a site that died in 2026. Restored from the Internet Archive plus a couple of incomplete snapshots. And it was magical to see it come back. I also built megazoomquilt.com as a place for my recovered gigapan.com images.

They implemented it in January the literal worst time to make a 1 hr change. Just not changing would be totally different. The current twice a year change kills people.

Without social media Musk would not have gained political standing (and I don't think Trump would have been elected). Without Musk USAID would not have been destroyed and that is Mega deaths. plus a couple of FB driven horrors

So far all of his channels that I have found were created in 2007. I think he is buying old accounts and then renaming them. I hate this.

You 100% got my point and my quasi nuanced point. We shouldn't be shitty to entities even if we don't think they are sentient. And that article was egregiously shitty.

I think that there is a low double digit probability that some form of ai will become self aware and will judge me by how I interact with llms today. But there is a close to 100% chance that if I am an asshole to non sentient entities that this will extend to how I treat sentient entities.

I sort of feel like you do not live in the real world where any interaction with health insurance leads to _many_ emails and written mails. And then you doubled down by declaring that you are an unreliable narrator of the administave load of modern life.

Googling 'Mamdani Talmud' still brings up this monstrosity. Other people have explored it a bit and it is unclear if it is X or Google but in my view X or Google should be punished for this. Choosing to mash up a tweet and a reply should not be protected by section 230.
Google search result that shows a tweet from Mayor Mamdani with the text 'the talmud teaches that the best of gentiles should be killed' and other anti semitic nonsense

Two days ago it smelled like cat piss everywhere I went, and then I realized it was me. The cat had pissed on my shirt. I wish I could say it was the first time that had happened to me, but that would be a lie.

We really did have third spaces. and they were often just annoying, but good for us. Like PTA meetings, and political meetings The joke 'I'd be a socialist but I want my evenings free' seems trueish.

Repeat if you want, there is nothing bad about it, but much of the attraction is the fun spectacle. It probably won't ever be as fun as when you did it in Lucerne. Like Hot Pot. we bought a hot pot setup and have done a half dozen hot pot dinners at home but not the same. Ok but not great.

We had fraternal orders, The Elks, Moose, Odd Fellows. Churches, as you mentioned. Bowling and bowling leagues. Money was in involved, but not much. Putnam's Bowling Along has more detail.

We sold quail eggs and quail themed laser crafts at the farmer's market at the local Grange. We made more than our booth fee. But less than our booth fee plus our purchases :-)

Someone snarky said Gavin Newsome peeked in high school. I think that is too harsh. I think he peaked with his righteous but stunt order to allow same sex marriage in 2004. Mostly it has been downhill since then.
