Good to hear. What's the job?
How is it that, this far into my career, so much of my work output still comes down to a last minute cram?
Would that not sit under task aversiveness? That is, due to the fuzziness / scariness / complexity of the task, one to seeks to avoid it until it can be put off no longer? I can relate to your description completely, btw. (In fact, it's the reason I found myself looking up procrastination.)
I have yet to read a single Douglas Coupland novel. Which one should I start with to get maximal wowage?
Welcome aboard sogre. Gmail seems like a big obstacle to getting new subscribers to this site - and for old subscribers who've forgotten their password and need to renew it. #bugski
Wild that trade networks in the British Isles extended at least as far as Iran even then.
> Based on an abstract of the new study provided to me by the American Heart Association [...] the researchers did not ask people if they were following time-restricted diets. What they did was look for people who only ate for a short period of time during the day based on two reports to the survey of what they ate. Yeah, that seems like a caveat that deserves more attention.
This surprises me. I practice 16:8 (actually, probably closer to 20:4) four days a week. The idea that I've been (potentially) damaging myself the last couple of years of doing so is counterintuitive to how I've felt over the same period.
This article suggests the draft age in the United States was extended to 64 during World War Two (?), although I note that military service was to remain capped in the mid-40s.
Hi mk. There are good discussions on here that I value. On occasion I direct friends to them (originally in the hope that they would create a username and get involved in the discussion). I feel like it would be a loss if those conversations were no longer visible to people who drop by. Just my thoughts.
>For others in the same white Christian theocracy movement, it's because they know that limiting access to those things will disproportionately impact non-whites poorly. How does that work? If people of colour are reproducing at a higher rate than white people, then surely that disproportionately impacts the racists interested in maintaining a white majority.
Congratulations, dude.
You're in Europe, aren't you? Are you launching from there?
If any of these turn out to be AI generated, I'll cry.
Did you love Skid Row and Slaughter as an early 90s teenager, before they went to seed? Then you'll love Dead City Ruins.
So a company that holds the genetic information on millions, if not tens of millions, of people is failing. I imagine health insurers would love to get their hands on that info.
Yo dude. It's been the Australia Day long weekend down here so apologies for taking a few days to get back to you. I've been thinking over what you said. You bring a refreshing level of normality to interpreting the spectacle. It's interesting that you cite lack of engagement by voters as a favourable indicator. I would have thought that was more of a risk factor, no? If most people don't care, then only the zealous will vote. Besides which, Trump is still the punters' favourite for next president. Irrespective of whether voters care, if he gets in again I can't imagine it will be steady-as-she-goes. Watching the latest meltdown after the E. Jean Carroll decision over the weekend has underscored that point. Hope everything's going well up at your neck of the woods. I'm wrangling another work trip to the northern hemisphere but it looks like it will just be to Europe this time round.
Sure, but I assume a decent proportion of voters (perhaps comparable to the percentages you listed) in Mississippi pre-1861 were anti-secessionist, and I assume the broad bulk of Mississippians then also weren't afire with zeal; that didn't stop the state from rebelling.
Wonder if something similar could be developed for prose.
I'm somewhat surprised to learn this study was undertaken. I'm more surprised that they would publish the findings. On the other hand, should there be a case of GX_P2V human to human transmission, we'll have no doubt on where to allocate the blame.
Ah. I missed that.
Does the second trilogy hold up? Morningstar was sufficiently satisfying a conclusion that I didn't feel much urge to go back for a second helping.
You bring me better insight on the state of the Union than anything I find in news online. Cheers for writing all of that out, cobber. (On a side note, when I wrote my earlier comment I hadn't realised you'd posted this article a year ago; I think it came to the top of my feed because of some spam comment that's since been deleted.)
They'll still roll out in the tens of millions to vote for him if he's the presidential nominee, right? And at this stage he looks like the frontrunner for the GOP ticket. Great read, btw.
Update: Launch scheduled for Friday.
I'd always assumed the device that comes after the smartphone would be an implant. This seems more like a next-gen iteration of the smartphone. Still, I'd buy the plan if I didn't have a mortgage.
Does anyone have an invite code for BlueSky they can send my way?
Was he really arguing that the art lacks value, though? That's certainly how Rodriguez seems to have received it, but the original review seems to be more making the (obvious) point that the social media channel and performative use thereof is a core element of his work. And that is of interest if it hasn't been the subject of much commentary on Rodriguez' work before. Which it clearly hasn't, given Rodriguez' and his fans' reaction. Which makes Davis' observation that simply repeating press release hype isn't healthy for anyone apt I would think (and let's be honest, it's only Artnet).
I have nothing to contribute other than to remark that I enjoyed this article immensely, particularly the author's massive crush on Sassoon.
