Simon,

Don’t you think some terminal and or times up and finish line fast approaching folks feel the value of their lives or appreciation for the past and gratitude for their lives?

You’ve changed the definition of faith.

Ya know that soldier who is cold and in pain danger at every moment and yet finds a moment to smoke a butt and feel the…[Read more]

Reg,

You are the last one for whom i would have expected such a betrayal.

Please tell the truth.

Sudan, Congo, Yemen and the dozen others do not count because of cultural relativism. Were those “crimes” as you suggest actually crimes? Or do the cultural norms excuse the putative perpetrators and the resultant victimless crimes?

Colonizer…[Read more]

Thanks, Reg 🙂

Have a great week!

If the “Pro-Palestine” demonstrations and outrage were really about humanitarian concerns, they would still be out on the streets for Sudan, Congo, Yemen, and a dozen other places where civilians are dying by the thousands but without the cameras rolling.

The “colonizer” label collapses under even basic historical scrutin…[Read more]

@Reg- Yes, the doctor and priest are dual symbols of institutional authority. It’s strong imagery, but it blurs historical and factual accuracy. Not every State or Nation uses both so it is not a “long-standing custom”. Your symbolism is compelling on the first read but you are rather weak on empirical accuracy.

The doctor’s presence might be leg…[Read more]

Naw man, you uppin my skill levels! And I needz it bad.

Just started listening to a U of Minn CIDRAP podcast this week, and coincidentally ran into a short (below) about the beginning of state (and other lesser than federal) agencies rising to fill in the gaps of our suddenly increasingly incompetent federal public health agencies. (I think the west coast states have started something too, but I…[Read more]

Pope,

Sorry if i have cost you time searching as a result of my misplaced placement intransigence.

Wow, thanks Reg. Glad I finally got to reading this.

I mentioned before that I’m incompetent in topics of history. I often even fail at accurately recalling the history of myself.

High school pre-college tests ranked me at 99th percentile in science, 95th percentile in math, 35th percentile in humanities and history, and others I’ve forgotten.…[Read more]

This singer’s even in tune.
And that second line, “Oww!”.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: I finally discovered that, after pasting short’s URL, all you have to do is change the word “shorts” in the URL to the letter “v“!

I also put this tip in the TIPS group, so if youtube ever changes how this trick works, please let me know and I will update how this tip can or can’t be made to work properly.

Simon,

There’s so much i might say.

But not today.

@Enco –  I ‘misspoke’ – I usually format the USB drive completely. Type each line, one at a time, from a command prompt in Windows to fully and safely delete data so it can be re-used.

diskpart
select disk 2
clean
create partition primary
format fs=ntfs quick
assign
exit

As a bit of an aside, have you ever considered how difficult English is to learn vs. most other languages?

Yes. When I am in America I speak Hinglish with my extended family. At home I am currently learning Tamil. Soon I will try to only speak Tamil in my house so it’s now a case of “Hindi theriyathu poda” and I will have to get the t-shirt for t…[Read more]

Many U.S. students will very likely start going to Chinese Universities soon.

Simon says someone says it who didn’t say it but lemme display it.

………….

The problem in colleges isn’t indoctrination. It’s a lack of ideological diversity

The right seems to be on a mission to expose universities as centers of leftist indoctrination. Too often we professors waved away the charge. We called these assertions naive at bes…[Read more]

@Simon, – The coordinated flight of birds or the efficiency of an ant colony are examples of true emergence. It is complex order arising from simple, local rules. Each agent behaves independently, yet their interactions create a collective intelligence without any central plan or higher consciousness.

It’s legitimate emergence because the…[Read more]
