If you liked this episode and want to know a bit more without reading a giant book check out “It Was All A Lie” by Stuart Stevens.

Also scary but more detail.

This all sounds smart to me. I’ll vote for it given the chance.

Think of the life where you have 88 boogers a day… The torture.

My daughter has been trying to get me to install this for years. My refusal has been vindicated! I kept telling her I don’t trust it. And she drives like me and her premiums are nuts even for her age and she’s been lucky and has a great driving record.

New FPS Built Using Doom Tech Is Better Than Most AAA Shooters (kotaku.com)

Things aren’t looking good for me. I’m a few levels into Selaco, a new FPS out now on Steam, and I’m stuck behind a bar as a group of sci-fi soldiers unload their rifles and shotguns into my hiding spot. I’m also low on health. So yeah, a bad spot to be in. I take a deep breath and try something....

Good point! They could have even had a period accurate trailer, with that guy with the really deep voice like in movie trailers back then “A game, 20 years in the making…”

The sound of Internets!

I swear when I had dial up I could tell how fast my connection would be by the sound of the static. If it didn’t sound clean I’d get a crap connection and just hanging up and dialing a different connection number would do the trick.

Same, and it’s great! I can’t wait to dive back in. But I need to read the stuff more because I get lost and I feel like they’ll tell me what I’m supposed to be doing.

The book Everybody Lies looks at search data and based on that the racism was the same but outwardly admitting it has changed. It went from saying we’re not in polite company to being loud about it.

Bonus picture, cheese sauce that’s completely caramelized in the bottom with amazing cheese pulls every single time.

Just in the bowl for style and heat. Everything stayed quite warm to the end.

Denver Metro is on par with the cost of living of San Diego Metro. Lots of people agreed with you already and moved here.

Just do it in one 20 hour sitting with hyper focus. Ignore eating, bathroom breaks, and all.

Am ADHD and have done this…

Good choice, a favorite of mine as well. In the middle of the night when I’m supposed to be sleeping with a theme that often makes no sense in reality but I’m bought in 100% anyway until my alarm goes off.

Exactly! I spent an entire night playing a football game over and over in my head that didn’t happen and wasn’t important to the team. But John Elway just could not throw for a first down to save his life…

I’ll tell my mom, she is particularly proud of how she dressed us.

Don’t be fooled by randomness. Randomness comes in clumps. For example if you flipped a thousand coins every day for a year and measured how each one predicted the stock market, heads for up, tails for down, at the end of the year you’ll likely have one coin that far out performs the average. But would you use that coin to determine your investment strategy the next year?

And yeah Boeing is now killing people outside of their planes.

That was a great read! Not something I’ve heard of before. Thank you!

And yeah it’s related for sure.

@BallShapedMan@lemmy.world avatar

Thank you, I can’t take credit for it. I got it out of the book Everybody Lies.

It takes a ton of bravery to be a whistle blower when others aren’t dying like 80 year old diabetes patients. It’ll take even more now, and I hope there are more. Boeing needs to be kicked in the bags.

You’re saying my intentionally over simplified example to get a point across wasn’t perfect? Amazing analysis…

Do you go by the nickname Captain Obvious with your friends?

When I asked what it meant she said it’s double everything of the bbq baked potato. Two potatoes, two helpings of pulled pork and everything else for just a dollar more.

I won’t be eating breakfast today, I’m still full from last night.

I replied to him, replying here so you know to check if you’re interested.

That’s two votes to one, I’ll let my wife know she’s been out voted. I’m sure she’ll go along with the decision peacefully…!?

I’ve seen it a few times in other places. But it’s always been in big cities, not the middle of almost nowhere Oklahoma so it was a bit of a surprise.

Pretty sure I’ve never seen anyone properly explain humor, even humor everyone in the conversation gets. But thanks for expressing it’s not for you.

I’m not sure how much my brother costs, but the three of us brothers were running across the top of monkey bars and jump kicking each other. I kicked my youngest brother off and he busted his head on the ground. It’s ~40 years later and he still has the scar on the back of his head.

Oh damn, Sync was giving me errors and I couldn’t see it post. I need another app…

I’ll give it another go. Last year when I tried it, I wasn’t where I wanted it to be yet.

My mother in law too! Does she have an intense desire to cover everything in ketchup too?

They might be related then, mine does that too lol.

And that’s great to hear you’ve got a good relationship with them.
