Last Notes npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Episode 6 of my retro modded Minecraft journal is out: Imperfections in Paradise. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Race "science" is bad science because the whole concept of race turned out to have no biological basis. "Science" is a term implying there is evidence and functional analysis, and using it gives race "science" credibility it doesn't deserve, and that influence laypeople in a bad way. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Is there a better term than "race science"? 'Cause it sure ain't science. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I figure some fancy furniture business needs to get its catalog numbers up to get a loan or some such. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams AI usage requirements + mandatory senior reviews of AI code = one hell of a bottleneck. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams And finally, an on-page trauma to one of the protagonists early in the novel makes the bumpy road of the romance much more plausible than in most romantasies. (3/3) npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I find just a romance plot is usually too thin for a novel, because the endless personal twists to drag out a plot long enough get tiresome. ASaSE also has an interesting murder mystery and political intrigue, so there was enough meat for a substantive novel. The "one true love" nonsense drives me crazy but ASaSE has much more realistic and appealing descriptions of the processes of falling in love and choosing commitment. (2/3) npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams A Strange and Stubborn Endurance. Foz Meadows. 1/22/26 to 1/23/26 npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams https://xkcd.com/3196/ npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I disagree. Trump is capable of running the country... npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Hmong? They came after the Vietnam War, and they got special treatment. You *know* this guy is legally here. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Meanwhile here in Southern California we're in a 2 week Santa Ana*, which is unheard of. Before 2015 or so I don't ever recall one going on more than 4 days. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I adore my new induction stove. That said, it's really unpleasant to have the need for this sprung on you so suddenly. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Arches National Park, 500 pieces, Canyonlands Natural History Association. 4 hours. I got this puzzle when we visited Arches and Canyonlands last year (great parks, highly recommend). The very long time is partly from being out of practice and partly from the pieces being so varied in shape it was often hard to find the next piece. #jigsawpuzzles #nationalparks npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I saw Attack of the Killer Tomatoes at 13 on original release. At the time we were overrun with disaster movies so a parody was well timed. I thought it was OK and do remember it while having completely forgotten most of the movies I saw at the time. I do remember it was remarkably silly. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Viva Longevity on how corruption drives the Trump administration's revision of dietary standards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUEpxdR7WnE npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams My key example of the incredible incompetence of the Iranian regime WRT water is the Gotvand Dam, which was built primarily for irrigation - on a massive salt deposit. Downstream agriculture has been almost completely destroyed, and the impounded water isn't suitable for agriculture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_Gotvand_Dam npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams The Republicans have had the government spend over a hundred million investigating the Clintons and they've never found anything other than a blow job. It is long since time to recognize there is no there there. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams https://cdn.masto.host/urbanistssocial/media_attachments/files/115/885/017/695/468/502/original/1f058bf77866b9e6.png npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Matilda knows what's imporrant! npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Warm is super good in the winter. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams We've lost most of the Indian philosophy contemporaneous to Plato, sadly. What we have left is mostly religious. But we have a lot of contemporary Chinese philosophy (e.g. Confucius), and it has an ongoing tradition to this day, without Western philosophy's 800 year near time-out. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams They've got it all wrong. A flat "no" and maximum resistance is always the best way to stop Trump, like in the cities of Los Angeles, Chicago, and Portland, where he has had to withdraw ICE. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Some good philosophy about life, friends, and money from the Between Failures webcomic: npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams An astonishingly easy way to stick it to the fossil fuel industry, even if you can't get an EV or bike/walk/transit is to just drive 5 miles under the speed limit, with a max of 55. You'll reduce your gas consumption by 1/3 to 1/2. In my mom's SUV, it's about 1/2. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams The "good results" in programming are almost certainly that with the entirety of Github and quite a bit more fed into it, the AI can find a program to plagiarize if it's asked to do something fairly simple. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams It hits a little different if you phrase it as "each page of the Lower Thames Crossing planning document controls £30,000 of spending". npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Interesting tidbit - a big driver of the Iranian protests, according to this DW video, is the soaring price of electronics (due mostly to currency changes here). npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Retraction Watch is great. It should get more attention. It's depressing how often articles don't get retracted even after getting nailed to the wall for various unacceptable problems. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams No, the Democratic party has *not* been infiltrated by said leftists. The problem is that the Republicans and their pet or owned media have convinced most of the country that the Democrats support policies they don't. That's not a problem fixable by *any* change to espoused Democratic policies. It could, perhaps, be fixed by media regulation if we ever get back into power. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams You did that? I loved that page, and I'm very impressed. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams The Trump administration is doing this to mess up mail-in voting, but it's going to be catastrophic to last-minute tax filers. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams A number of people I know who don't normally like coops, including me, like the new LotR coop Fate of the Fellowship. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Human progress from stupidity: npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I actually looked at my Steam Replay for once and I actually learned something; I pretty much play only one game at a time. Also, my most played game for the year is one I've been playing since 1997. Which probably says something about me. https://s.team/y25/jgknkkt?l=english npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Trump delayed and cut funding for Washington state flood control prior to the recent record destructive floods: https://www.nbcnews.com/science/environment/washington-state-floods-federal-grants-on-hold-rcna250132 npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams This place isn't big enough for the both of us. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams This is the sound of my jaw hitting the floor. Although at this point the problem is more about Bezos and Musk not paying than about Romney. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams No, that's a conventional bomb recipes. To make it nuclear add garlic. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Yeah, Enron's manipulation of the California electric market made me liberal and political. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Ukrainians blow up a Russian sub inside a port, and hack their security cameras to film it: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:d2tt2ajbjq6aumjdde46adz3/post/3ma2hsoldvc2h?ref_src=embed&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fballoon-juice.com%252F npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Trump end EPA plans for lead cleanup and triples allowable lead levels, abandoning Biden plans to help affected children. https://grist.org/accountability/the-epa-was-considering-a-massive-lead-cleanup-in-omaha-then-trump-shifted-guidance/ npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I am astonished CNBC would provide a reasonably fair presentation on how it was unions and liberal government policy that made it possible for most people to llive comfortably on one income. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Um, this is either alarmingly clueless or alarmingly misleading: "Moreover, evaporation from the new inland sea would continue to curtail sea level rise over time, AghaKouchak says." npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams That is appalling. But I suspect an eclectic band like King Gizzard is going to be hard for an AI to knock off. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I looked at this Terrible Map and thought "that can't be right; I remember learning a word for toe in French class (although I'd long forgotten what it is (it's "orteil")). But searching up some online French dictionaries, apparently it's archaic and they do use "doigt de pied". npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Hegeseth doesn't want the Coast Guard to board and search these vessels because he knows they're probably not carrying drugs. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Earworms are so strange. I have a quasi-permanent earworm of the opening of the last movement of Mahler's 7th symphony. I'm OK with the piece, but it's not among my favorite or most memorable Mahler movements, and Mahler is just one of many composers I love. Why did my brain pick *that* piece for my uber-earworm, out of the thousands I listen to? npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I currently watch YouTube on Vivaldi with Ublock Origins. It works; I never see ads*; so I figure they're not getting any money from me and I don't mind using them. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams https://bsky.app/profile/iwantyoustudio.bsky.social/post/3m6zn7ed3fs2p npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams https://existentialcomics.com/comic/631 npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I love how the plastic industry's propaganda on bag bans backfired. When California restricted disposable plastic bags (due to the littering problem) the plastic industry launched a campaign to overturn it, claiming that reusable bags use more plastic (sometimes true but the point was the littering) and more greenhouse gases (true but tiny compared to just driving to the store). So CA went to disposable paper bags! Ha! Take that, disinfo campaigners! npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Photos from this weekend. Which one was it that the media constantly asked if he was too old and decrepit to be President? npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams The incompetence of the clerical regime is staggering. They built a huge dam on top of a salt deposit, which has turned the river saline and destroyed one of Iran's best agricultural areas. And the main point of the dam was irrigation! https://astudies.org/2023/05/gotvand-dam-environmental-catastrophe-and-human-tragedy-in-ahwaz-region/ npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Since when have we been unable to produce beef in the US? Trump's stories grow ever more ridiculous. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I'd boycott Starbucks if I hadn't already stopped buying from them due to a combination of price and their labor practices. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams https://xkcd.com/3167/ npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I love my state. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I've suspected affordabiliy is the key driver of dropping fertility rates for a while. Not good news for the Chinese government. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Hmm. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams It's terrifying that the only remaining source of contact information has been enshittified to the point that I can't even get a list of nearby allergists anymore (or dentists, or anything else). We're trapped in Black Mirror. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I'm having an unpleasant experience with information deterioration in the Google economy. My husband needs treatment for rabbit allergies, but his allergist says he can't do it (which a quick perusal of literature shows is false; he's just lazy). So I want to find a new allergist. In the old days, I'd pull out the Yellow Pages. In the less old days I'd search up "allergists in my area" and get a usable list. But now search just gives pages and pages of ads from the same 2 allergist groups. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Why did 8 Dem Senators cave? npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Plus that twerp is an untrained cosplayer holding his gun sideways like an extra in Pulp Fiction. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams You want to get rid of the Democrats who want to stand up? Because that's what 40 of them did. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams https://explosm.net (Cyanide & Happiness) npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Trump pardons child sex offender: https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-jan-6-pardons-keep-child-sex-predator-out-of-prison/ npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Kristi Noem authorized buying 10 planes. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams "How can we miss you if you won't go away?" npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Uggh. Just the one hour shift has left me something like jetlagged. I'm tired in the evening but I've woken up at 4 in the morning two days running and can't get back to sleep. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Kate Wagner on why the absurd McMansions of the aughts are now getting some admiration from Gen Z: npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams When I was a kid, I almost always did the edge and then the sky. I didn't analyze the effectiveness or anything, that's just what I did. Those landscape pictures always had a substantial gradient to the sky, though, which made them substantially easier than this one was. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Boardgame plays October 2025. My variety is too high for the detailed list os games and designers. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams The CIA funded modern art during the McCarthy period to make the US look open-minded and innovative, in contrast to the USSR. The money was thoroughly laundered, of course, because most of the artists were opposed to the CIA. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I almost never eat potato chips anyway because I can't afford the calories, but I didn't know Lay's added artificial *dyes*. Good that they are going to stop but - yuck. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams The Trump administration is already bombing our highways. https://abcnews.go.com/US/marine-corps-shrapnel-hit-patrol-car-californias-5/story?id=126670403 npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams What's amazing about this article is the incredibly bad AI - generated map, with most states mislabled and multiple nonsense words. I'm sure the data is nonsense too. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams CEO's jobs are basically producing buzzword bingo. A"I" is great at that. Not so good at doing something useful. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Apparently the October inflation data is really bad. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Old age isn't for wimps. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams YouTube uses AI to "improve" videos, resulting in ugly flashing glitches dangerous to epileptics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HY-nREvVu4 npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Peanuts, 1000 pieces, Galison. Untimed. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams The Ontario ad featuring Ronald Reagan talking about tariffs, which made Trumpty-Doo have a tantrum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWQRuRIxMBI npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams https://theoatmeal.com/comics/screen_addicted npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams If Skye has access to the basil plant, I'm surprised there's any left! npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I expect even ChatGPT's plagiarism mishmash *would* be better than anything Boris Johnson could write. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams So sorry for your loss. You did so much for Chuck and were lucky to have each other. Your determination to give him the best life possible has been an inspiration. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams It would be hard to get another centrist-leftist electoral pact after Macron has been such an ass to the leftists in this parliament. The best chance is to put it off until the Presidential election, where hopefully the centrists can get a new, less delusional, less hated leader. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Yet another problem for software going forward is that AI coding will increasingly use the AI code to generate its results. So it will be mishmashing future code from increasingly flawed source. And precisely because it's so cheap to make AI code it's going to rapidly crowd out what real working code remains. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Microplastics are yet another case demonstrating we have a profoundly flawed system. There's no excuse for putting millions of possibly (probably, really) harmful particles inside the body of every human on the planet without knowing what they do to us. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I'm quite surprised that in the 200 years the Beowulf manuscript was rattling around in collection nobody took an interest in something which by itself is 10% of surviving Anglo-Saxon literature. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams http://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/measurement npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Barcelona is a hit with our heavy gamers. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Everybody is valuable. Hope you feel better soon. It can help to do things - exercise, socialize, or even just go out and see more sun. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I like the idea of shipping these criminals to The Hague, and then saying we have no authority to get them back. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I'm not surprised cable viewership is plummeting, because I can't find anything to watch when I visit my mother's. The old joke of "1000 channels and nothing's on" is now literally true. Granted, I'm picky about video entertainment but 20 years ago I could watch Discovery, History, and nature channels all day. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Sigh. So true! npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams How does the correlation of sexual activity with alcohol compare to the correlation of sexual activity with in person social activities? A lot of people only drink in social situations, and there's been a sharp decline in in-person socializing, which in turn results in a lot less sexual activity. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Wait, never? I buy clothes as little as possible but they still wear out. I have to buy a couple of articles per year. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams And why Hegseth cares so much about beards. Thin and clean-shaven - he likes them twinky, I'm guessing.
