@simonsarris That’s beautiful. Was the side railing a big piece of wood like a 2x10 you shaped?

@Charlie_R_S @simonsarris I’ve got the same question. The right rug seems so hard to find.

@parkeralewis It’s supply and demand Parker!

@rossiadam I can feel my blood pressure dropping when I watch it. It’s so soothing.

@parkeralewis Egg prices are down 40% in the last 18 months. We must be in a deflationary environment.

@rossiadam Were you this vocal about gerrymandering when Texas proposed it?

@rossiadam Tit for tat is the dominant strategy in a repeated prisoner’s dilemma, right?

[David Isaacs @DavidIsaacs]

@rossiadam That’s right, but tit-for-tat is the dominant strategy in a repeated prisoner’s dilemma.

"BREAKING: A federal judge appointed by Reagan rules that many of Donald Trump’s cuts to grants for the National Institutes of Health are now “void and illegal” and declares: “Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?"
And he was just getting warmed up…
"I am hesitant to draw this conclusion, but I have an unflinching obligation to draw it – that this represents racial discrimination,” said District of Massachusetts Judge William Young. “And discrimination against America’s LGBTQ community. That’s what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out."
Many of the cuts were aimed at diversity, equity, and inclusion programs which the MAGA movement has condemned as “woke.” In practice, the Trump administration is entrenching discrimination against people of color and the LGBTQ community — red meat for the white nationalists and Christian nationalists who helped elect him.
In total, Young has ordered the NIH to move forward with disbursement on funding for 357 grants that Trump was trying to kill.
Judge Young condemned the administration’s racist agenda and stated that it’s “palpably clear" that the grant terminations were "designed to frustrate, to stop, research that may bear on the health – we’re talking about health here — the health of Americans, of our LGBTQ community.
“That’s appalling,” he added, stating that he’d "never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable."
"I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this ... I ask myself, how can this be?" he said according to Politico’s Kyle Cheney.
Judge Young said that he is Constitutionally protected in speaking out against this discrimination but wondered if he would have stood “against all this” if those protections weren’t in place.
“Would I have said, 'you can’t do this?' You are bearing down on people of color because of their color,” said Young. “The Constitution will not permit that," he said.
“Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?" he added."

@conorsen Isn’t it likely that some (or much) of these items that are currently imported become produced domestically over a decade?

@Noahpinion It’s a funny complaint because we don’t call most countries by the name their residents use - no one calls Germany Deutschland.

@aspiringpeasant We were staying at hotel in the mountains when I was about 7. Lots of snow fell overnight. We asked reception about a hiking trail and they said “I wouldn’t recommend it.” My dad asked me what I thought. I said “let’s do it!” We had a blast and still talk about that snowy hike.

@mira_hurley @balajis @Noahpinion Agreed! Getting it before a freeze is key. I lived in Zimbabwe several years ago and at that time there was no way to use local currency to buy bitcoin (which is why I’m somewhat skeptical of the claim that it’s a panacea for countries like that)

[David Isaacs @DavidIsaacs]

@balajis @Noahpinion If you have money in a bank in one of those countries, doesn’t the government just prevent the bank from letting you use your funds to buy bitcoin?
