My wife’s work phone was apparently used before as she would get calls from collections agencies all the time.  Not great

Yeah, they’re trying to make Macy look like Richard Fuisz.

I always hated how Lee always added some awkwardly written sex scene.  All of Clarke’s works before Lee were practically sterile and then suddenly there’s bad sex that was even worse because it just didn’t fit within Clarke’s writings

Why were the dragons down there?

Garbage in, Garbage Out. This is a basic analytic concept. Of course the predicative model mirrored previous policing, of course the model’s predictions showed regions that are already heavily policed and heavily reported.

Did you read the comment?

I can’t tell you how many house parties I went to in high school because someone got a message that there was one going on.  Many where I didn’t know the person, meet the owner or even know the name of anyone involved.  Just knew it was a place to go get hammered.  The kind where like an hour or so later you’re…

I saw “Shrink your kids” and I thought it some psychology reference like he was against going to them, which would probably be on-brand.  No, that line was literal...huh

I actually have had this issue before with my kids humidifiers.  I just bought some cheap wifi plugs and left the humidifier on always and put it on a routine.  If I need to replace it though this might be something to think about.

Ahhh, thank you for the new knowledge. Not as great as having everything on one page but it’s definitely better than nothing.

Slideshow with no show all button?  Boooooooo

It’s not the magician part of it that makes him a fraud. It’s that for decades he stated he was an actual psychic and could divine the location of underground water and do any number of other things that he 100% was just bullshitting about. That’s the fraud part.

I’m glad you brought this up. I got the email and barely skimmed it and thought it was going to work on connectivity problems like helping you get a device back up on the network if needed. Planned on looking into it further in the future

if reality will sit still and cooperate for him in a lab “experiment”

How mad do you think Junior and Eric are that Barron got the height genes?

Chevron was Standard Oil as well. Exxon was Standard Oil of New Jersey and Chevron was Standard Oil of California
