Save Ferris - Come On Eileen (orig. Dexys Midnight Runners)

They appropriated the ballads of my people, but it's good.

I've found that the forum is much more usable if you leave Vinny on ignore.

Well, I'm delighted that you've changed your mind since December! Remember to write your congressman

But would you agree, stuper that they have made up their own minds to fight? They are not automatons who are continuing to fight because we're giving them weaponry. (Yes, I do recall previous notes from Silent Majority about the U.S. meddling with Ukraine's gov't. I acknowledge those). Rather, they...

If you accept the trope that history is written by the winners, you could look at wokism/leftism as losers attempting to write history. In boglerdude's quote, by the losers in a high school. Elsewhere in society by MeToo feminists, mask- and injection-Nazis, the diversity industry... Along the lines...

Plus, at the macro level, distributing the battery material needed to go 300 miles among 10 PHEVs, where the full battery is utilized every day when the car drives 30 miles round trip to work and back most of the time, instead of one vehicle that rarely utilizes the full capabilities of the battery...

Steph Curry again.

I'm leaning more towards Pointedstick's POV on the fully electric house with solar panels, especially in the "prepper" aspect. I don't know if it makes sense everywhere, but in the Southwest, where the sun shines constantly, it just seems like such a good deal. Combine it with a wood burni...

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...

This is a great find dualstow, thanks. I LOL'd at this part, "Lack of sleep is such a potent trigger for mania that acute sleep deprivation is literally used to treat depression. [/u]" I've been experimenting with something like this for a few months now, bouncing between <6 hours and 7.5-...

The author says that "never before has this portfolio behaved so badly" than 2022, and then just says "use options and bitcoin/eth" to make it not behave so badly? BTC/ETH got slaughtered in 2022.

Back in the day, Age of Kings was the go-to game. The best RTS I've ever played. I've never played Starcraft, but since it's still alive and kicking, I'd imagine it's probably the greatest.

Sam Altman thinks that ChatGPT is going after the creative jobs first? It's got a ways to go to eclipse the highest-IQ comedian, Chris Turner . They both take suggestions and make it up on the spot The ultimate battle: human verse robot He'll battle that AI 'til it develops a glitch, spittin mad rhy...

Pretty good

14 out of 15 different political orientation tests diagnose ChatGPT answers to their questions as exhibiting a clear preference to provide left-leaning viewpoints.

ChatGPT got a D on my last labor economics midterm. link

Checks out.

After the January 9th update of ChatGPT, I replicated and extended my original analysis by administering 15 political orientation tests to ChatGPT. The moderation of political bias is no longer apparent. 14 out of 15 different political orientation tests diagnose ChatGPT answers to their questions ...

Hmm, I’m a fan of Harry Ricardo. I had no idea who David was before looking him up just now. Related.

Smart guy. He was best bros with Thomas Malthus.

No.

The dick looks weird, but otherwise anatomically correct. Good whippet.

is there some history behind this? Since 2020, Kurstin and Grohl have covered eight songs per year for this project, and released one per night to digital streaming platforms for each night of Hanukkah.[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hanukkah_Sessions These are great.

Would it be wrong to say Chomsky is a kinder, gentler Marxist? That’s been my impression. I’m sure it’s more complicated, but that’s my 10,000 foot view of him. I just can’t take that seriously but I’m sure he is able to make some good logical points about it. Whenever I’ve been exposed to his idea...

I keep reading that large investment companies are buying single family homes in bulk so the companies can become large landlords and rake in the rental money. Is this true? Is this something new that wasn't happening on this scale until recently for some reason? What changed to make this more attr...
