If you're interested in knowing my thoughts on a large range of topics that relate to my education and professional direction, there is a thread for that. Might be worth sorting by recent and starting from the end to follow the trajectory from the beginning.

[Logan Jensen @LoganJensen1]

Here is an ongoing thread of the things that I learned from my program that the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey.

Thinking I might make a reply for each class that I took and then put the responses for insights from each class under each reply.

[Logan Jensen @LoganJensen1]

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, I was surprised at that at as well, but apparently faking a foul and flopping is in the rules as an automatic yellow, or at least something like that. You'd never give it on real time, but in slow mo VAR you can see. Not sure they could have reversed the original yellow without giving Embolo his second.

[Logan Jensen @LoganJensen1]

Fascinating. Are those reports still available? Unfortunately, my Chinese is bad enough now I'd need to read a translation. I could be off base, but the cultural revolution probably necessitated putting trust into domestic economists versus any other theory. It wouldn't surprise me if 'socialism with Chinese characteristics' term came out of exactly the workshops you mention.

It's a shame I pivoted away from China. I kick myself for letting that happen, but it is what it is. I've forgotten so much.

[Logan Jensen @LoganJensen1]

Yeah, for sure. My details are fuzzy, but Deng also did a lot of political maneuvering that made the special economic zones possible. Of course as the effective president you think you can just do things, but the political climate really was against Deng at the start. Turning that around was huge, and I think you're getting at just a (relatively) small part of it.

[Logan Jensen @LoganJensen1]

@Dr3wisnotcool @AndyMasley Some of us are just joking. Telling the difference, however, can be maddeningly difficult.

[Logan Jensen @LoganJensen1]

I'm entirely joking. I know all about the reform and opening up, the iconic train trip to steal support from party hard liners, and many other bits of history about Deng. Although not nearly enough as I should. I'm no longer a so-called China Hand though so I've also forgotten plenty.

[Logan Jensen @LoganJensen1]

@christinelu @AndyMasley I thought I made it obvious enough. Seeing the replies it seems I did not. I will refine my craft further.

[Logan Jensen @LoganJensen1]

@word_and_number @thrialectics Actually, it's just 万

[Logan Jensen @LoganJensen1]

@mykola Happy for you. Can't wait to see what comes of it.

[Logan Jensen @LoganJensen1]

@word_and_number @ThePrimeagen Thanks for clearing that one up

[Logan Jensen @LoganJensen1]

@ecombeckett @Ken67547214 That being said, I don't ever see myself using the device in the op. It's just weird.

[Logan Jensen @LoganJensen1]

@ecombeckett @Ken67547214 Yeah, that sounds right. I did find somewhere to test my speaking speed, and I can comfortably speak 300 words per minute from text. From my mind is different because I have to actually think, but I'm comfortably above what I could ever reasonably type.

[Logan Jensen @LoganJensen1]

@ecombeckett @Ken67547214 I haven't had either tested recently, but typing is probably around 50-60wpm. 150wpm is standard for speaking, but I talk fast so it could easily be 200wpm.

[Logan Jensen @LoganJensen1]

@Ken67547214 @ecombeckett I just never learned how to type well. So I do speech and then have it generate text to read. My typing speed is embarrassingly slow though, so I could see that changing if I typed faster.

[Logan Jensen @LoganJensen1]

@signulll Is Tim the weak link here? Or is the problem with the defense more generally? I've been unimpressed with the ball movement up and down the field this game. Feels slow and sloppy throughout where Belgium is quick and crisp. They have a gear they can access we can't seem to turn on

[Logan Jensen @LoganJensen1]

@the_transit_guy They played with such heart my Argentinian wife was almost rooting for CV to pull through.

[Logan Jensen @LoganJensen1]

@RobertMSterling @Andercot The crossover I always knew I wanted!

[Logan Jensen @LoganJensen1]

I'm very impressed by this Cape Verde squad. They play with real heart. Can't wait to see what they can do next time with the benefit of the exposure this round.

[Logan Jensen @LoganJensen1]

@signulll Respect the decision.
