Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, passed away today from cancer. Despite what he later became, he was an enormous inspiration to me, and I think a lot of the comedic flow I do still derives from him.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Does anybody know how all these electric outboards can claim 1000W and 4HP? 1000W is 1.34 HP.
Some are claiming 5HP and 1000W.
Is it just "marketing HP?"
Also '21AH' is not a measure of 'Current' 🙄
