Re: Login & Cache

I wonder if the login error is a cache thing. I haven’t experienced that on this site, though I have on others.
This site just frequently forgets me. :'( It’s nice to have the password saved under a fingerprint.

Re: Login & Cache

Ah, ok. Maybe it’s on the site’s end. I use a few different browsers.
The second profile (in Safari) also failed today.

Login & Cache

Lately, I’ve been having trouble on other websites that were temporarily solved when I deleted some selections from the cache, and perhaps permanently solved when I created another Profile in Safari. Now, every time I visit this site , I have to re-login even though I click the Remember Me box. I tr...

EDITED IN QUOTE LATER Did you guys see/listen to the Joe Rogan podcast with Dwayne Johnson? Johnson had so many interesting stories to tell, but Rogan kept talking over him. It was very frustrating. >:( I started to become interested in all the Joe Rogan hype when he suddenly moved to Spotify. I ha...

I like Conversations with Coleman (Hughes); Lexicon Valley (John McWhorter); Reveal; Scott Adams (although I disagree with up to 60% of it per episode); used to listen to a lot of Radiolab; and even though it’s pretty cheesy, Harry Shearer’s Le Show

By not quoting 11 podcast titles? That way one doesn’t have to guess what you’re reviewing, what you’re linking to, etc.

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II

Has anyone listened to the latest Lex Friedman podcast with Mearsheimer? I need to find three hours to listen to it. I listened to much of it this morning. Youtube served it up semi-randomly when i was still in bed. After a while, I guessed it was him. Not too bad, even if I don’t agree with him ev...

I didn't realize Spotify had an ad-supported plan that is free. Huh.

I guess I'm back to listening to Joe Rogan. First up is his interview with Elon Musk.. they're eating pizza on the podcast lol.
I didn’t either. 2024 project (Do I sound like Vinny?)

Re: Gold peg

And swap for what? If you’re asking what I would swap the gold ETFs for, suggesting I wouldn’t be able to take delivery, well that’s definitely a risk, and the reason I went all physical. ETFs are convenient, but it doesn’t feel the same as holding the hold. If you’re asking what asset I would aban...

You can shave some time off if you listen at 1.25X speed. Doesn’t work for every interview, but it’s good for slow talkers.
Just use the settings wheel under the video.

Since stuper mentioned Mearsheimer (in the Led Fridman thread), I’ll just add this response, a quote from Foreign Affairs John Mearsheimer argues that… In other words, Russia has been playing defense, and Putin is merely pushing back against Western encroachment. He seeks nothing more than security ...
