@CynicalPublius@AirCanada They all suck, not just Air Can. 4-5 yr ago my son and wife were flying from E Coast to TX. Boarded AA plane, 2 peps in their assigned seat, attendant made peps move. Flight took off, they went to sleep, woke up when plane landed and Capt announced “Welcome to Miami!”
@JonathanTurley Pseudolaw by someone in an adminstrative position at UC Berkley. Not surprising and is quite common at most universities. Your income tax was used in part to pay this person to make this decision.
@CynicalPublius Replacement also takes a while to recover and is painful. Reality, your God given knee is far superior to a man made option. If there had been the slightest chance that mine could have been saved, I would have taken it. Still would today, 1.5 yr after replacement.
@JonathanTurley This is exactly the way it has worked in all the cases, from Pol Pot, Mao, Lennin, Ho Chi Minm, and Castro all used the young educated idealist to drive their revolution. It’s uncanny how the Democratic Party is beginning to mirror exactly what these leaders did.
Brings back memories. Exactly, the fast pace of life and disposability were the biggest downers moving back to the US. I fear that much of what I enjoyed living in the EU is gone today. It always made me smile to see 9/10 yr old girls traveling on the train alone, feeling safe. That’s gone now. But, I will always remember how relaxing it was to sitting on my balcony at sunset overlooking the Rhine with a glass of wine.
You will enjoy, I lived in LA for many yrs. Gave lots of public talks. Was giving a presentation outside of Budapest one day, looking out over the audience, I was floored. The audience’s faces, posture, mannerisms, etc were exactly the same as an audience from LA. Had there not been a language gap, I would have thought I was back in LA. Nowhere else in the world was it like that.
@BCham38@MLB I can attest to the Ball 5 chant at A&M back to at least 1987. It was full bore by ‘89 and bubbles were also starting to flow. Must be a Tech fan, not a lot of us old Ags in/from SA.
"If Kristof does not believe me - then perhaps he will believe his own publication home. New York Times, back in 2014, called South Sudan 'in many ways an American creation, carved out of war-torn Sudan in a referendum largely orchestrated by the United States, its fragile institutions nurtured with billions of dollars in American aid.'"
This article took three days to research and write. And the horrifying thing is - this pattern repeats for many African countries. USAID attempted to install a democracy; it failed; China reaps the spoils.
My latest.
Another BS article based on assumptions, blinders and get Trump at any cost attitude. These are all legitimate business transactions. Nothing presented in any way proves corruption, it’s pure speculation. If the author was really worried about corruption, they would have investigated members of congress profiting from stock trades of companies they regulate.
@CynicalPublius 🤣 welcome to old age! Had same thing w an ankle. Up next, total knee replacement. Yep, it really really sux, but it beats the pain. Make sure to do the mobility exercises, it will really helps you long term.
@RCPolitics What would you have done? It’s easy to say something is a failure, but without providing an alternative, your opinion is just as worthless as you say the MOU is.
One year ago today, I received my @neuralink implant.
Most anniversaries in my life these days revolve around ALS. Milestones I never asked for. Reminders of what this disease has taken.
Today is different.
Today is an anniversary of strength. An anniversary of courage. An anniversary of possibility.
Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to help develop telepathic 10-finger typing, work on technology that could allow someone to control a wheelchair with their brain, and even help advance systems that allow a robotic arm to mimic physical movements through thought alone 🧠
As I reflect on this milestone, I can’t help but think about Nick. He was one of my biggest advocates and supporters. He believed in me, fought for me, and encouraged me every step of the way. I wish he were here to see what we’ve accomplished together, but I know he’s been with me through all of it.
This past year hasn’t just changed my life. It has shown what’s possible for millions of people living with paralysis, ALS, spinal cord injuries, and other conditions that rob people of their independence.
The technology is evolving faster than most people realize, and I truly believe we’re witnessing the start of something that will change countless lives forever.
One year down. And the future has never looked more exciting.

@RayBooska@ScottPresler@SecRollins Eradication will never happen using a curative (e.g. ivermectin) of any type. It would be cost prohibitive and never reach the most likely hosts. Sterile male release is how it’s always been done. It’s effective and takes advantage of a screwworm weakness.
I’ve had what feels to a million mommas do the same thing. After a while I realized it was a good thing, a sign of parents that care about their child and have a belief in their child. The opposite was also true, parents that don’t give a sh$t about their child. I took parental criticism as an opportunity of self evaluation. Am I making the right call? Do the data support my decisions? What if I made a change? Etc. All the good coaches I know did this. The weak coaches would just blow the comments off, say “that person doesn’t know ball like I do. “
Not talking about any one player. Each player has strengths and weaknesses. Good leaders seem to understand this. They position teams to accentuate strengths and minimize weaknesses. What I have seen appears static/one dimensional. Is developing and leading a flowing, multidimensional team hard? Exceedingly. But the best coaches, business leaders, military leaders, etc do it.
