New Yorker, transplanted from Montana. Dad/Husband. Litigator--mostly finance stuff. I enjoy history, math, literature, the outdoors. Total optimist, despite all the stuff.
Also, now is the time to make the Aubrey-Maturin series! No one will even notice another billion dollars of debt to finance it!

And the big question, was that Substack parody?

And does it matter what kind of drugs? Fentanyl? Cocaine? Weed? Cigarettes? Vodka? A nice super Tuscan?

At what % probability is it good and moral to execute people, without any process, who may be drug dealers? This top-tier professor seems to think it’s clearly good at 75% odds. What would he say to 50% odds? 25% odds? 5% odds?

The very cool 1969 Mustang Mach 1 - John Wick’s car - ran the quarter mile in 14.4 seconds. That’s not much better than a Kia Telluride (15.1), and slower than a GMC Yukon (14.1). John Wick’s Mustang did 0-60 in 5.7 seconds. A RAV4 prime is faster! An F150 hybrid is faster!

Car nostalgia is great - if you recognize that it’s nostalgia! Modern cars are not just better on boring-dad stuff like safety and fuel efficiency, Even modest modern cars have more power, better acceleration, and are far faster around a track than most of the hottest performance cars of the past!

Olivia spent an entire day running around in the muddy Catskills, and then had to pay the price of a long bath.

And the single lane eliminates the double parking that meant drivers were constantly weaving from lane to lane, merging, speeding up to pass, etc.—all things that cause distraction and increase risk of collisions and running over pedestrians and cyclists!

And do I sometimes borrow her size medium jackets? Of course!

Also odd that the situation room where he watched this happen wasn’t air conditioned, apparently. That seems to have bothered Hegseth.

There simply wasn’t time to determine whether the USCG could handle the invasion force bearing down on Florida. It was 11 military-aged men, a mere 1100 miles from our homeland. This was basically House of Dynamite, but with Latinos instead of an ICBM.

People are quick to criticize the decisions involved in striking the boat and then the survivors. But you have to remember how rapidly this crisis was unfolding—without quick action, the ski boat could have reached Key West in under 55 hours! No time to get the pencil-necked lawyers involved!

I now have a Brother 2350 and an Epson 8550 - the wide carriage ecotank - the ultimate dream printer garage.

In support of Costco, I would upgrade my account from Gold Star to the “Limited Executive” membership if they added that membership level.

The paper could have justified any grade between 0 and 15, in the graders discretion. Scoring it 5 to 15 would have been tactically better. But a TA shouldn’t have to think tactically, and the writer’s obvious bad faith should cause the school admin to line up behind the “demonic” TA now.
