Acknowledging a celebrity guest was a fireable offense, but he seemed super chill and as I was leaving I said "We're not supposed to say anything but I just wanted to say that I love your work, big fan." Gave me a big grin.
"You're bringing us breakfast at 6am, you can say what you want." 😎

I can't remember where I read it but I saw this tactic endorsed by someone who sounded like they knew what they were talking about.

See also Rand Paul blacksplaining the history of racism to Howard University students. Just cherry picking history every time.

Then they'll need other places for workers to spend the coins, so probably easiest to just build a company-owned town for them to live in. Definitely a good idea with a ton of positive historical precedent.

Yeah they did a couple things but that was one of them.

You have a video. The news is what happened, not what someone claimed happened. The country is in crisis, you guys need to step it up.

I went deep on chess during the pandemic and I agree: the quickest way to start winning at chess is to simply memorize the most common openings and their counters. The "thinking" part of chess is tactical improv based on loose single-move patterns, and it's only really useful in the mid game.

Was in recovery for over three hours but I barely remember it. My pain levels are unusually bad, had to dose me pretty good. Still feeling awful but alive.
Thankful for all the positive vibes!

Appreciate the info. Pain is worse than I expected so far. Apparently it's gas but it's in my shoulders too(?).

If I'm not back in two hours... just wait longer.

Between this and the LA situation, military morale must be through the roof.

Reflux attack in the OR prep area. Ugh. But after it finished, my surgeon came over to me and said "we're gonna fix you brother."

Did you see the piece about the secret tunnel under the parade route? I think DC gov is legit worried that one of these things falls through the street, steel plate or no.

They're using the robot surgeon. If the AI revolution is really coming, they'll definitely use this opportunity to take me out.

I guess PoE is very grindy, and you'd have to put in 100+ hours to get his stats and he was tripping over the UI. That's what I read, not my game.
it seems like he's a basic casual gamer but is too insecure to not present himself as a super god at any hobby so here we are.

There's a lot of ways to be "good" at video games imo. I think what the PoE folks were saying was that he seemed to lack basic knowledge of how his own build worked and such. Like he didn't know how to play the game, not just that he was bad.

He doesn't actually like video games. If he did, he'd be better at them. It's barely a hobby for him, he just thinks "gamer" aesthetics are cool. He also has no creative ideas and I think he's probably aware of this. My guess.

You wouldn't need to do that if you first simply implemented all the Pareto-optimal solutions that would make everyone better off without costing any money, the results of which would be obvious to everyone.

Someone should warn the leaders of "indisible".
