Thank you both for going the distance with this work. Love you madly for it, good to know that those correlations were never there.

Starting from MN going west, just light-stupid.
Once you get into MI, you're making really bad choices.

They also used to be able to switch signs w/a man on 2nd. That's harder with the pitch clock.
Speaking of which, it seems like PitchCom fails more frequently in stressful situations, almost like it knows the pitcher needs another 30 seconds to calm down...

Crucially re: SNAP, they cannot admit that they want it to function. SNAP for farm subsidies has been the trade forever. Both sides want both, but want to be able to tell their base they got something.

If every district has the same number of members, this probably won't make things worse. If you have a mixture of single member and multi member seats, or weird mixtures of seat numbers, it will make the gerrymandering problem worse.

Cancelled. He caused WWI by convincing Tirpitz to embrace the cult of the Decisive Battle (Entscheidungsschlacht) precipitating the Anglo-German naval arms race. Stained glass, more like stained with blood... (/s, obv)

Farfalle has the added problem of lying very flat when cooked. Serving issues, saucing issues, makes it easy to take way too much.
Farfalle is trash.

Applies across fields. Different discipline, but the advice goes:
For up to 5 years, you're learning things at a job that will be useful at any job. More than that, you're probably optimizing for that job.

Edge case: what if I want to acquire a Class 1 railroad so that I can convert it to electric operations and travel around the US in private varnish? Do I have to show proof of intent by electrifying a Class 2?

Can you reproduce it with the back wheel lifted, turning the cranks by hand? Try it when you start the stroke from several positions. If you can reproduce it, you're in a good place to see what's awry. If not, it's probably torque dependent, and I'd be looking for something loose or flexing.

Also check the clamp to the frame, I've made that mistake too. If it sounds completely different, you need a different amateur or a pro.

Odd. I've had a version of this where it catches for a beat when I stand on it then gives. The front derailleur was moving a bit at high torque, which meant it was derailling for part of the pedal stroke. If it's the same, you might tweak the high adjustment a bit, see if it goes away.

There are better bike nerds than me, but it sounds like a front derailleur problem. Big ring or small ring? Or doesn't matter?

Given that ChatGPT is infamously bad at anatomy, is it more likely that someone used it to write a grifty anatomy textbook, or that someone used it to generate excerpts from a fake grifty anatomy textbook?

It appears in the scientific literature and everything!
Also notice that the lead author is named "Johnathon Posthumus", clearly just a too on-the-nose manifestation of Death in a YA fic.

It seems like cats cannot get alpha-gal syndrome (tick carried, causes red meat allergy in humans), but that humans can be subject to "pork-cat syndrome" which is a lovely name for a thing to have.

Yeah, really liked this. I have avoided putting "RESULT has never appeared in the literature" before because the state of the literature is so chaotic that I'm not completely sure. But I want to, because it might really help the next person.
