Wall St Journal reports that he referred to himself as a psychopath, and questioned himself on tape. Wondered aloud why he didnt feel any remorse.

I guess he was one of those stupid psychopaths then? I think any psychopath of normal intelligence could figure out why they don't feel remorse when they go psychopathing around.

I meant if you aren't a moron, and you know you're a psychopath, you aren't confused as to why you aren't remorseful.

Thanks! We're pretty good on power now, not so good on water. There's a city-wide boil order, which is certainly a pain, but in our neck of the woods there's just no water coming out of the pipes at all. There's still snow on the ground which can be harvested and heated for flushing. Fun times!

I heard about that snow flush this morning. Clever!
Has anyone heard from Tyler? I’d like to think he’s built a secret underground lair by now and is unaffected by surface weather.

I PM'd with him earlier. He's in pretty good shape in his lair.

Water's back on this evening! Still with a boil order, but much nicer than none at all.

Glad to hear it. Hope all returns to somewhat normal quickly. 8)
DNA has its own language (code), and language requires intelligence. There is no known mechanism by which matter can give birth to information, let alone language. It is unreasonable to believe the world could have happened by chance.

I'm almost afraid to ask, but how's your utility bill? Tell me you're not on Griddy.

I have no sympathy for those now getting the large utility bills. They chose to live with minimal regulation plus they want to keep all their prior savings. Now they want the rest of us to pay their bills.

I've never been in an area with utility competition of any kind, so I really have trouble understanding how it even works. I'm paying the normal/only rate for the electrical and water (such as they are) services for my area.

Ditto. I’ve never lived in an area with choices for water/sewage, gas, or electricity utilities.
