You should tell that to the people in America caught trying to defraud them by sabotaging weather stations, no?

Look if you have the inside take on a systematic inaccuracy in weather stations time to follow the underpants gnomes and profit. I am sure you can make a killing in crop insurance futures.

Could they have handled the avalanche transistor posted here a few days ago?

I'm personally still chuckling about Mariboro and the shout out to Ferdydurke

I appreciate your comment and vouched for it, FWIW. And yes, I do remember hearing about Firoz Khan now that you mention it.

This has strong shades of BoJack Horseman's "We solved America's gun problem by giving everyone guns"

You brought citations and so did I. There is no reason for animus. And I was talking about what happened to Ahmad Hasan Dani this time.

Your link mentions provincial elections in 1954 (excluding the ones during the 60s dictatorship)

It was a Dominion, but again who was denying your relatives the franchise?

If you're going to frame it that way, let's talk about the Muslim prosecutor that put them away and the Muslim home secretary trying to deport the ringleader.

You do know iamshs is Sikh, correct?

OK I see you meant in the US.

According to Tripathi, the problem of Sanskrit being nar­rowed to religion is a colonial inheritance. British Orientalists, he argues, created an image of Sanskrit as the language of ritual and one religious community, ignoring its vast Buddhist, Jain, Carvaka, scientific, theatrical, poetic and philosophical corpus.

I don't understand how you can take what happened to AH Dani at BHU and say this with a straight face.

What about Prakrit and Punjabi? I knew a guy at UCSB, Gurinder Singh Mann who taught me to read Punjabi. Nice guy (to me) but got himself in a lot of trouble for many different reasons.

Well I am doing some Bayesian stuff so I was curious what GP had to say too

Exactly who was East Pakistan a colony of in 1950 and who was denying them the franchise?

I don’t understand how IK got elected so many times and not once did he attempt to increase taxpayer base. Is that Jehangir Tareen’s fault?

I could ask you the same question about government schools. Why is it that my uncle could go to government school in Pakistan in 70s and get good education and that’s not possible now.

These are for government loans. I really wish my private loan north of 13% was capped.

Was this Keesler by any chance?

I took it there and I don't think it was supposed to be harder than at other schools. They have to get the premeds through.

You might have done the impossible and actually gotten rayiner to concede a point.

They're going to have to rewrite that herring joke in Joys of Yiddish

Despite their faults on macro-politics, rigidly Islamic countries are remarkably safe and peaceful at the micro level. Tehran has a half the homicide rate of Toronto!

This is the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life. I'll have to remember to tell my Ahmedi relatives from Peshawar and Gilgit that after they (separately) got out of Dodge after they heard their neighbors wanted their heads on pikes.

Please do tell. I might have to do this soon.

I would like to play this demo when it comes out.

I’m working on a synthetic control arm for a heart valve trial using synthetic patients from both the heart valve registry (in the near future) and a frozen EHR encoder. It’s pretty fun exercise.

I had it at 14

I actually contracted shingles as a teenager (at the same time as mono - fun times) should I still take the vaccine?
