@tuxedosrevenge @davidfrum “An” before an unstressed “h”. Wars have been fought over less important principles.

@MattBruenig @arjunqie @mattyglesias So doing the math…

• Median wage income: $64k
• Income from net worth threshold for quitting (NW generates 20x median income): $1.3M
• Net worth needed to generate threshold income (roughly $1.3M/5%): $26M

Does data show wage earnings drop off for people worth > $26M?

@jasonfurman Yeah but it’s farther north not further

@FollowTheGulls Still closed at 5:15. Just talked with a policeman… He did not have details. Just knew that they were still clearing out the truck and it would be at least another hour. He had not heard anything to make him think it would not be opened up by noon.

@OasisOutlet1 Still closed. Just talked to a policeman. He said they are still clearing out the truck. His best guess was another hour at least, but didn’t have any specifics. He did not think it would be closed all day.

@WajahatAli Should we use crutches in solidarity with the injured? I’d thought holding the door open was enough, but my wife says I can be pretty thoughtless

Built a Soduku solver to teach myself #python. Very satisfying to see it crush the NYT hard puzzles every time. https://t.co/DOixrnNSo9

@Patterico @kmserranorn @th_actuarials @MrBlondesPsycho Even if you’re team fetus, how would you feel if the government forced you to donate a part of your liver to one because you were a genetic match and its only hope and the procedure is low (but not zero) risk to you. Maybe you’d want to, but is it ok to be forced?

@Patterico @th_actuarials @MrBlondesPsycho A woman is a human a fetus is a fetus. I’m team human.

@georgehahn You may want to ask your doc about beta blockers for anxiety instead of benzos.

@leonidragozin @KevinRothrock VPNs aren’t a long term solution. China has deep packet detection technology that finds and block VPNs and makes them unusable for most people. I’m surprised Russia doesn’t have the tools in place already.
