Large of law numbers. There are a lot of idiots out there. I had a buddy; super nice, super funny guy, late 20's, but financially an idiot.

He sent a $1,000 check as "collateral" to some online "bank" to get a $10,000 "loan". I explained to him that this isn't how any of this works and he just paused and said, "Huh, so should put a stop payment on the second check?" He had sent them another $1,000 as some sort of second round of collateral for the loan or some other nonsense.

And I've known dumber people than him.

To address your second point, it is merely about satisfaction, not solutions or best optimal outcomes. The question is neutral to what the current state is or what the future state should be, only on their satisfaction with it.

There isn't really a conflicting result if 50% of the people think we should live in a theocracy and 50% think religion should be outlawed if 0% of them are satisfied with the status quo.

How Couples Meet 2 years ago

Tom Brady is currently dating all 30 million single women in the US at the moment.

One thing a therapist told me during a session one time is: "It sounds like your life just sucks right now". It isn't always something internal, but the outside world impacting us. Chin up, do it for your son, best of luck my man.

The Password Game 3 years ago

As dumb as this law was, I think it will make road trips a little less magical as a Washingtonian. It was like driving into this strange land with these strange customs. That little anxiety where you pull up to what would be a routine gas fill up and have to wonder, what exactly is the protocol here? How do I not offend the locals?

I've noticed this for a side project I run. https://cfbpedia.com/ I upgraded it's server a while back and unknowingly borked it's SSL redirect. I corrected it and Google hasn't picked it up again since despite my fiddling in every way in their Console, still just "not indexed". If you search for it directly in Google you will find links to it, but never the site itself. I figured I was doing something wrong and didn't care enough to fix it, but it definitely seems like Google is making some sort of attempt at pruning.

When I first started hitting the gym, it was because of a horrible break up. So there was a psychological need (I found it better than any therapist I was trying at the time). But then, it just became habit. I went today because I went yesterday. Nothing more to it. Then covid hit, and that habit broke. I've been getting back into it, but in fits and starts because I've lacked that initial push.

I have no real comment on the site, but just some awesome coincidence. I'm currently on the west coast in a hotel room watching a Nebraska football game on the television. I pull this site up and it puts me in Smith County, Kansas. I turn on the radio and it pulls up the local AM radio call from Superior Nebraska of the exact same game I'm watching on TV. Awesome.
