Bit of an Apple Watch daylight savings bug. It shows AEST in “dimmed” mode and flicks to AEDT when raised to wake.

Time-wasting phrases that undermine or vaguely reinforce what you said while holding the microphone. * To be honest * To be fair * If I can explain * Can I ask a stupid question?

Two women drinking tea one asks "Can I as a stupid question?" and the other replies "Better than anyone I know"

In the Haiphong area.
Did they have their calibrators fit?
Yeah, they are fixed now.
You think they really hit something this time, don't you?
Well, actually, we now have the photographs; they hit something last time too.
Yeah. But this time they probably hit a hell of a lot though, don't you think?
Oh, God, yes. And this time they did it visually, Mr.
President.
Oh, the weather was good enough?
Yes, they did it with radar visually.
Goddamn, that must have been a good strike!
Yeah.
Of course, you want to remember Johnson bombed them for years and it didn't do any good.
But, Mr. President, Johnson never had a strategy; he was sort of picking away at them. He would go in with 50 planes, 20 planes;
I bet you we will have had more planes over there in one day than Johnson had in a month.
Really?
Yeah.
Well, that has more impact too.
That's right.

Laissez-moi faire capitalism. www.nber.org/papers/w34524

Using transaction-level data on US congressional stock trades, we find that lawmakers who later ascend to leadership positions perform similarly to matched peers beforehand but outperform them by 47 percentage points annually after ascension. Leaders’ superior performance arises through two mechanisms. The political influence channel is reflected in higher returns when their party controls the chamber, sales of stocks preceding regulatory actions, and purchase of stocks whose firms receiving more government contracts and favorable party support on bills. The corporate access channel is reflected in stock trades that predict subsequent corporate news and greater returns on donor-owned or home-state firms.
