That's fair! I almost think of CASINO as a series of vignettes, rather than a single story, so I'll rewatch pieces of it, rather than the whole

This is what almost every one of my colleagues worries about. You can do everything right. Every bit. And if someone wants to end your career, they likely can. Evidence doesn’t matter. Empty rage fuels them and will keep doing so. As long as admins cower before the wolves, it’s the dark times.

And then, as the article notes, there are the "e-motos" that are motorcycles, but they're 1) given to kids, and 2) often driven without any safety gear; basically ignoring every lesson of motorcycle safety from the last 30 years.

Traditionally, it was also drenched in Karo corn syrup, which has now largely been replaced with butter + brown sugar.

I suspect that smoking deadens your sense of taste played a role in the abundance of sugar

Brewery is just old-timey pharma

There’s a really interesting book on how scientific metaphors shape military thought: scholar.google.com/citations?vi...

It’s been a while since I read it, but your thread reminded me of it!
