Does narrowing the spread mean no one wants to keep holding them?

The best kids have to decide between going to a top-of-the-top school as an also-runner in the boat, or a great school and a contender.

Tangentially related, I was shocked to find out recently that Harvard and Yale are mostly just-happy-to-be-there-schools at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association national championship regatta.

… Brooks?

Should I understand…

Should I u destined this to mean, “Elon intends to try to save xAi or Tesla with SpaceX”?

I missed that on the first watch. She jumped for a second then immediately stepped to. She was going to Buster his Douglas.

“I do” Hahahahhaha.

Literally useful STEM idiots being manipulated by more broadly thinking minds.

I grew up in the DC area. Sports, style, and the international pages at the end of Greater Section A were usually worth a read. [‘A’ usually came in two chunks]

I will defer to others on that. This is about as far as I’m willing to speculate. Intelligent people can make surprising, shocking even, decisions.

TW will run out of ammo, and they will lose, but the cost will be extraordinary.

The PLA will leave 2M bodies in the strait as they cross in boats or lose 70% of their airlift if they try to drop their divisions in. That is not… politically palatable even for a country that big. That beachhead will be murder to defend.

I was going to mumble something about these dudes getting Van Ripered but your example [family of examples] is much more… robust and in front of their faces every single day.

Canadian influence from your upbringing.

Straight vibe that there is some weird latin tense-and-conjugation of gurglar or gurgar [with some other form that gets us to gargle] at work here.
January 25, 2026 at 5:26 PM
His dad did that to him on purpose.

I flexqueue, so basically I play tank [and am always confused when I pick up a support game].

I quit playing every day and have decayed from G3 to B1. The matchmaker apparently hates that I don’t play as much.

I’m cackling at that last bit. It’s not a universal truth, but more of a universal corollary.

Kenneth Arrow got a Nobel memorial prize in economics for describing this.

We literally have video of Harry bouncing out of an interview to head to his Apache.
January 23, 2026 at 4:47 PM
Do you teach them about Arrow’s work in this discussion?
January 23, 2026 at 1:48 PM
I have… seen that rumor. Official forecast still 2”-8”.

On a serious note, they are the game. If the Navy fails to reconstitute that part of the fleet, strategic deterrence is cooked.
