I like tweets about trains, bicycles, housing, video games, d&d, wine, beer, cocktails, linguistics, and mathematics. Alt account for non-academic lurking.

@mattyglesias @Noahpinion I'm absolutely unlikeable and have tons of friends. I just probably lose them at a higher rate than normal, but so long as you make them even faster, it doesn't matter

@jdcmedlock I mean, after contributing 5000/mo to 529 accounts and 2500/mo (each) to their mega backdoor Roth IRAs, they aren't able to save money at all, especially because they don't want to sell their RSUs because price is low right now :((

@Noahpinion Who knew how much Noah likes drugs

[Jeremy Cole @bhaall]

@Noahpinion My wife hates cherry flavor so much that I looked into this at one point. Cherry flavor comes from a chemical in the pit (also found in almonds and stuff), and also amaretto.

She also loves mao xue wang so maybe you have the same food tastes.

@JerusalemDemsas @besttrousers Taiwan and Singapore are weird because... well.. sort of. They had a massive influx of immigrants post-war (or settlers or whatever word).

@ArmandDoma Chateau montalena?

@RichardHanania You do inspire a reality show like curiosity: are you just wrong about a lot of stuff or are you actually just a grifter. I personally lean toward grifter, which doesn't mean you're not smart. You just won't get weirdly sponsored fellowships if you endorsed Harris.

[Jeremy Cole @bhaall]

@RichardHanania can you define "gravity" or perhaps "chair" in a way that exists outside of the context of the study or situation?

[Jeremy Cole @bhaall]

@besttrousers Slightly misleading -- most people on J1 would probably prefer to be on O1 or H1B, so it'd be smarter to just expand those categories and get rid of J1 and L1

@lastpositivist Headline seemed placid until you read the comments

[Jeremy Cole @bhaall]

@mnolangray Maybe cuts against 'major', but then, so does any city besides Chicago for including the Midwest

[Jeremy Cole @bhaall]

@mnolangray Well, yes. Small basically suburban Midwestern cities have fine relationships with their suburbs

[Jeremy Cole @bhaall]

@besttrousers @arjie Nice try, but 54% / 10000 is only 0.00054%

[Jeremy Cole @bhaall]

@RichardHanania @besttrousers It seems like the president probably has more control over immigration than any other aspect of policy. Can you actually come up with some Harris policies that you think will harm growth (that will actually get implemented) as much as Trump's immigration ones?

[Jeremy Cole @bhaall]

@growing_daniel yeah nice try, "midnight", day ends when I wake up, get over it losers

[Jeremy Cole @bhaall]

@Noahpinion Actually, not 100% positive I follow the chart -- the 25th income percentile is the fathers income percentile in America (I assume 25th and below)? When?

[Jeremy Cole @bhaall]

@Noahpinion A lot of my Chinese/Indian PhD classmates were not actually from rich families, but clearly in a different distribution than the average asylum seeker. Compound this with green card quotas that makes it way harder for anyone without eb1 to stay.

[Jeremy Cole @bhaall]

@StevenGlinert Well, Waterloo grads that are Canadian citizens can still get TN, but boy did Trump show us you can get fewer skilled immigrants by just not processing applications until they get tired and take a job in a different country.

[Jeremy Cole @bhaall]

@ArmandDoma I guess you can make the case that showing Luke to be as flawed as the Jedi who came before him was a bit of a bummer, but... Yoda? The prequels already turned Yoda from the weird teacher who just wants a nap and a snack to the guy who oversaw the fall of the Republic.

@Noahpinion Nice, but will Micronesia stay the same or become micronesianesia
