You might get all-music at night. But in the mornings radio listeners want to hear talking.

Attributed to Churchill: "Americans can always be trusted to do the right thing, once all other possibilities have been exhausted."

Haven't all other (non-universal) health coverage possibilities been exhausted ?

Is there a connection between Covid and Raynaud's ?

a good way to map a set of pieces laid out with given tolerance ranges for piece, see if it can connect, etc.

Märklin C track needs this.

There's a scene where Jack Klugman's character is staying in a hotel in Buffalo and he leans out the window and he looks up and down the street and he says I never knew that one street could support eight bowling alleys

A new mantra for Wall Street.

Burning aluminum.

the correct solution is separating sewage from irrigation water.

This sounds a bit too advanced for the nation that came up with the atom bomb and the first man on the moon and the transistor.

Unless I have a LOT less than a full dishwasher load.

I would think that a _total_ ban on devices _during school hours_ would hit the 80/20 mark of preventing psychological harm to kids, without the invasiveness of digital ID. Idiot parents that say "omg what if i have to contact my kid during classes" can blow it out their collective *sses - it is they being invasive and harmful.

it was to discourage students from immediately declaring bankruptcy upon graduation.

Yes, this was a thing in (IIRC) the late 70s / early 80s, and the fed crackdown on the non-dischargeability of school loans in bankruptcy was enacted very quickly in response.

I myself got my bachelors in '79 and read about this idea and did not try it cos it was so incredibly unethical (and it sounded risky). In the words of the infamous Vince Lombardi, "Nice guys finish last."

Three languages understood by humans: Music, Math, Money. Also donut.

Now trying to imagine John Travolta portraying Musk.

In the olden days, if someone saved your life, you owed them a year of free service.

So this guy should be ready for a year of TOTAL housework dedication.

Trees can point upward too. There's incoming references. There's metadata tags/facets.

And there's multitrees, that might or might not help.

"Capital of the Western World for a Cool Thousand Years" (TM)

Frequency hopping is not THAT difficult.

San Marino claims the year 301 AD.

But you would have the freedom to give your children absolutely ridiculous names.

less water, less detergent,

I achieve the first two goals by simply scrubbing+rinsing dishes after most uses and letting them dry. No glued-on food to go gnarly. They go thru the dishwasher once in a while. It's my personal strategy for being eco without getting food poisoning, but I've never seen a paper that evaluates this method in comparison to more-typical workflows (i.e. in-sink wash-using-soap or in-dishwasher wash-using-soap).

emdashes are supposed to be used—as a copyeditor once told me—without spaces on either side.

But we've all seen the pages where the hyphenator is clueless about them and creates these massive superlong "words" that screw up paragraph formatting.

Somebody needs to include this thing in the script of a science fiction film.

"The Fly" is ready for a quick rewrite.

Not directly related, but has pijul been getting any traction ?

You might get the Riemann hypothesis robo-proven and unintelligibly dense. Would mathematic professionals trust it, or would they always be putting asterisks next to proofs downstream of it ?

Didn't MS Word have Reveal Codes ? At least for some years ? I doubt it is (or was ever) in Mac Pages.

a green phosphor screen

In the spirit of emacs-v-vim, I have to come down in favor of that other phosphor color of those days, amber. Better contrast !!!

then they'll just crawl into a hole, as usual.

My wife's family's countryside ex-farm has a barn, and out in the barn we found... a mummified cat. By mummified I mean, desiccated, hairless, but much more than a mere skeleton.

Damnedest thing.

I got a quick tree education. When my buddy and I were in grade school his family moved into a new housing development with streets lined with puny new trees surrounded by the usual wires and rubber guards. They were frail and we were growing faster than they were.

Fast forward about forty years. The trees are TALL and HUGE! So, so cool. We hoominz top out at our own heights. But trees just keep treein' on.

This sounds like the manifesto of an Andy Warhol LLM.

History should record that for a brief moment of time, the US government tortured at least one person to death.
