I went into a big chain hospital today. No masking requirements for entry or otherwise. I gather that this is still not the case in some US states? In my part of Western Massachusetts it is always masks for anything medically related. I think that might be the only places where that is the case.

There was an AOM podcast on sleep last year where the guy basically says to forget about setting bedtimes, just wake up at the same time every day. So what I've been doing is setting an alarm every day, and if I'm not asleep in time to get 7.5+, I'll stay awake long enough to make it a <6 hour slee...

LOL... Vice President Mike Pence discovered classified documents in Indiana home (Fox News... so probably false, right?) I'm waiting for Oprah to stand up and yell "YOU get classifed docs... and YOU get classified docs... and EVERYONE gets classified docs!!" It's apparent that classified docs are n...

Vinny, do/did you watch Big Bang Theory? No. My TV watching is fairly much confined to C-Span, the Yankees, the Celtics, Providence College basketball, MLB Network. No TV shows. The main character, Sheldon Cooper, is a lot like you describe yourself. In many ways, the more I think of it. You might ...

In other words, you took a wild pot shot at a position with which you were predisposed to disagree. No. I try to go into these things with an open mind and ready to have it changed with facts, logic, persuasion. Tucker Carlson failed on all those counts. He's strictly an entertainer playing to his ...

I didn’t realize until today that you can get the silver Britannia with either Queen Elizabeth or King Charles on the obverse . I think the King Charles ones are pre-orders. You keep giving me vocabulary lessons. From the context I thought I'd determined what it meant but I saw I was wrong once I r...

I think I have read 2/3's of them. Never heard of Palmer or those two books.

Don't look now, but... Investigators Seize More Classified Documents From Biden’s Home (NYT) And in totally unrelated news... Ron Klain set to depart as Biden’s chief of staff (Politico) It comes as the administration enters a new phase of Biden’s presidency. 1) Looks worse and worse for Biden. 2) ...

What did you sell yours for? You should be able to buy a similar one at about the same price? Plenty of them available on eBay: Capture.JPG Nice! I might hop down to a local used computer store this weekend too, just to check things out. I didn't get any $$$ for mine. I was happy just to get rid of...

I think you're over-analyzing. :) What you end up with is never going to perfectly match your calculations and predictions. At a certain point you just have to take the plunge, if it's something you actually want to do. My take? - Get a 6 kW system for a bit of wiggle room (always build in wiggle r...

There are some old games I really want to play. Shogo, Rainbox Six, Swat 2, Warcraft 2, and others. I was thinking of buying an old Windows XP machine so that I could play them natively again. Have you used an emulator and played them non-natively? Yeah... it's just not the same. There's almost alw...

Here’s a bizarre story for you about Putin and Rasputin. https://allanishac.medium.com/no-ones-disputin-that-putin-is-rasputin-57f319747d77 “If we look at pubic hair samples removed from Putin’s sheets, and those of Rasputin taken from his ball sack that was preserved in fluids after his death, we ...

I assume every one of his "entertainment shows" are as laden with this one with half-truths, lies, exaggerations? Thereby rendering it of no intellectual value other than whatever entertainment value one can derive from it? That's it? We don't get any analysis, facts, or even elaboration, to suppor...

Very interesting segment from Tucker Carlson last night. https://youtu.be/MgXq8S02NJc TL;DR (or watch): Permanent Washington has decided that Biden is done, just like they did with JFK, Nixon, and others.
