How TF is this marked "insightful"? How many people does he have to come in contact with every day for his job? And we are like 8 months into this pandemic.. I'm amazed he hadn't already gotten it.

Yea... not so much. Going from Belltown to the interstate which is maybe 1 or 1.5 miles downtown,depending on how you go, can routinely take 30+ minutes. That's just to get out of downtown. The other 10 miles of my north bound commute takes about 20 minutes most days.

If you go through the quiz.. many of the situations involve people crossing the street against the hand... sometimes this was the only difference between two groups and you had to choose which to mow down. This reminds me a lot of Seattle too. If people on foot knew that a driverless car isn't going to stop if they were crossing illegally they might think twice about stepping off that curb.

Behold the Spine!

Wake me up when it goes to 11k and the black levels can be none more black.

This paper is a real breakthrough. It's the clearest evidence yet of global warming that's directly attributable to the actions of man. This is a time of great celebrations!

So... are we living in the matrix or what?

Debt... the cause-of and solution-to all our problems!

Or maybe better broadband is slow to roll out because the NSA can't monitor it fast enough? It's part of the 'No Kilobits Left Behind' program...

I'm sure that in 1985, plutonium is available in every corner drugstore, but in 2014, it's a little hard to come by.

Jules: Do you know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese on Mars?
Brett: No.
Jules: It's still called a quarter pounder with cheese because Mars was colonized by America and you know we had to have that shit our way.
Vincent: Also, a quarter pound burger is as big as your head but just don't ask where the meat comes from.

What we need is a computer that thinks about world war 3 all day, every day, 24 hours a day. Constantly fighting the battles.. trying different strategies and optimizing for the maximum enemy casualties. We might call such a computer the War Operation Plan Response machine... or WOPR for short. Yea... yea that's the ticket.

I don't like repeating myself... so see this http://wmbriggs.com/blog/?p=5949 He says it better and more thoroughly than I usually have the patience to.

Or maybe it's because the politicos who are pushing the idea of global warming tend to lie with every fiber of their being... and with every breath they take. All their proposed solutions do little more than give GovCo more money and more power at the expense of the US economy. It could be that too...
