Why do I keep seeing "if not involved in", it's pretty well established he was 100% involved in
New Epstein emails "seem to show Trump understood who Epstein was, how he and Maxwell were acting, and the kinds of crimes they were committing. He was adjacent to, if not involved in, those crimes."
On the pod Nicole Hemmer is brilliant on bigger Epstein-MAGA story:

Early on I had to give ChatGPT some hard rules when generating code for me. One of the most important is that it generates code only in ASCII. It *loves* em dashes, little unicode arrows, bullet points etc.
It tends to slip back after awhile so I have to keep reminding it.

A solar fence is actually an amazing idea, if you're facing a sunset or sunrise you get maxium power during times your roof solar is minimized. Obviously only useful in certain land situations.
Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.
Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

One pet peeve is how it plans out a code project that involves building something you just have to replace and refactor in later steps when it would have just been cleaner to skip ahead to the final version
