@ayankeeoriginal @Brad_Setser IMO there’s a certain liberation in trying to clean up a mess. You do your best, and you either succeed or don’t fix the thing that was already broken.

@constans It kind of strips all agency from the Germans, too.

@joebenson 2/2 Riggers, for example, can move your stove, but it’ll cost a lot because they have to amortize the ability to move a machine that makes stoves. The thing about medicine in general, and the ER in particular, is that we’re often blind going in about what we actually need.

[NorthState15 @NorthState15]

@joebenson 1/2 Steel-manning this a little: The ER costs what it does in part because of what it *can* do if needed. The doctor, nurse, equipment, etc. cost the hospital roughly the same whether they’re treating gas or an impacted bowel.

@mitchprothero I can haz Bofors?

[NorthState15 @NorthState15]

@Videkingen @AsInMarx So? My old town had a) some strong opinions about black people, and b) no black people.

[NorthState15 @NorthState15]

@Olivianuzzi Yeah, but… people often do stupid things in real life and, perhaps more importantly, tend to make bad decisions when they’re already stressed.

[NorthState15 @NorthState15]

@benryanwriter @Olivianuzzi So Hamlet’s another example?

@EDRiley1982 @BenRamanauskas The Audie Murphy Effect. Instead of making things up, you leave them out because, to paraphrase Twain, a movie has to be believable.

@llegrarosenberg I’ve done that with FedEx a few times. Just put my stuff in a duffel bag and met it at college/home. Cost a little extra obviously, but a) it was really convenient, and b) I’m sure it wasn’t free for the Edwardians.

@paulg I wonder how many seemingly large companies are, legally speaking, two or more smaller companies that happen to be in the same building? Like one kid on another’s shoulders under a trench coat…

[NorthState15 @NorthState15]

@John_A_Ridge Just a guess: More SCALP-capable airframes means more work for RU to eliminate the capability entirely. Like how silos outnumber ICBMs.

[NorthState15 @NorthState15]

@L0m3z Yup. Why did I start drinking coffee? Because kids hung out at Starbucks before doing something else.

[NorthState15 @NorthState15]

@friedmandave @Empty_America @datepsych Bingo.

@etkralicesi Furiosa is an indie film with a tent pole budget.

[NorthState15 @NorthState15]

@WeirdMedieval Also, so many of these are just NoHo Hank.

[NorthState15 @NorthState15]

@WeirdMedieval What’s his problem with people who don’t have body hair?

[NorthState15 @NorthState15]

@WilliamdeLanc12 @WeirdMedieval Is the sort of lost my brain reflexively appends with “But it had bad things, too.”
