@A1an_M @PropaneMan92 @mattwridley An industrial accident like, say, a lab leak, is precisely the opposite of a conspiracy.

@PropaneMan92 @mattwridley SARSCOV2 came from a lab. COVID vaccines cause thrombosis and myocarditis. It's all documented in impeccable sources. You're entitled to your own beliefs of course, but these are facts.

We warned scientists not to squander people’s trust. Investigate the lab leak Don’t overclaim for vaccines Don’t demand lockdowns Don’t worship models Don’t be dogmatic Encourage debate They have only themselves to blame.

@camjenglish @mattwridley Few on Twitter able to hold two such thoughts at once. Followed.

@mattwridley Simon has a point. The over-correction we're seeing will have serious consequences. Still, your point is well made. This is NPR running interference for rioters in June 2020. Nobody in the public health establishment objected at the time, and now they just ignore it.

@msdavi01 @WKCosmo Could mountainous states gerrymander harder than flat ones?

@WKCosmo I like that. The ratios of the districts must be brought as close to each other as possible (so no need to set arbitrary thresholds like 5). So minimize the maximum value of (Li/sqrt(Ai)) - (sqrt(Aj)/Lj) for all i,j district pairings

We could solve gerrymandering in one go if we passed a law setting a maximum ratio of perimeter-to-surface area for districts.

@GuGi263 He’s pinning for the fjords.

See how the eyes are dialating like that? Thats called pinning and birds do it when they're happy or content. They love when you help get feather sheaths off them.

@CovfefeAnon @normal_testes @threekardashevs Pretty sure John Nash presses red.

@normal_testes @threekardashevs You're simply wrong and don't understand the basics It's not a "two player game" - it's *two strategies* and the payoffs are for picking each strategy Every individual is facing this payoff matrix

This twitter classic "red button / blue button" [everyone who picks blue dies unless more than 50% do; everyone who picks red lives] question is cursed but we've learned a lot about people since it went around on the timeline the last time First to get this out of the way - there is zero actual reason to push blue - none - there is no "payoff to cooperation" being modeled since the payoff on offer - not dying - is the same for both choices. The only rational reason to pick blue is that you *hope* less than 50% of people pick blue so you can end your life and escape the person who is putting you in contrived hypotheticals for his own amusement With that out of the way - what we've learned in the 2 years since this hit the timeline the first time is that many, many people are simply next token predictors and when they see this example they say they will pick the "cooperative" choice (which isn't actually that!) We have also learned that when confronted with the stupidity of this position, they will simply costlessly double down and "argue" about it forever rather than admit error Really, the question is extremely revealing

@AndrewR70528002 @DudeRubble @ASFleischman @SeanParnellASW @grok Secretary Danzig (1998-2001) would disagree.

@fultonmn @DudeRubble @ASFleischman @SeanParnellASW @grok So only something a Republican could get away with?

STATEMENT: Secretary of the Navy John C. Phelan is departing the administration, effective immediately. On behalf of the Secretary of War and Deputy Secretary of War, we are grateful to Secretary Phelan for his service to the Department and the United States Navy. We wish him well in his future endeavors. Undersecretary Hung Cao will become Acting Secretary of the Navy.

@AndrewR70528002 @DudeRubble @ASFleischman @SeanParnellASW @grok Probably even more common historically.

@AndrewR70528002 @DudeRubble @ASFleischman @SeanParnellASW @grok Secretaries England and Winter this century.

@ASFleischman Sometimes dirty cops get no-billed when the prosecutor is getting one out of a jam.

It is unusual for a grand jury to no bill, and usually a sign of a grossly incompetent prosecutor or investigating officer. Federal cases are often quite strong but less so in this administration.

Grand juries are not an especially good protection from baseless indictments, because only one side presents argument and evidence, the standard is probable cause, and the result need not be unanimous. They are a useful tool for the government to gather evidence, mostly.

@shipwreckedcrew Interesting law around this question. law.justia.com/cases/federal/…

That's borderline criminal -- that goes beyond a "sporting" event.

Maybe Chinese officers will get one year of free credit report monitoring like I got when they stole my SF-86.

@JMatrix20266053 @ronstauffer @shipwreckedcrew Worth it.

@ronstauffer @shipwreckedcrew I had a law partner do the opposite once. 50+ pages where he redlined the extra space after each sentence. That was his only edit. Probably billed $1000+ to client.

I learned to type as a high school sophmore, and have pounded away on a keyboard pretty much non-stop for nearly 50 years since. Have always put 2 spaces after a period.

Which one would look the Best? 💥

@ASFleischman I’m trying to come up with the hearsay exception I’d use to admit this if I were defending your killer.

I'm not suicidal but it's still more likely that I killed myself than that someone made my death look like a suicide because I threatened their nefarious schemes.

@SamaHoole @mattwridley The AI gave him too much pottage.

Robert is thirty-six years old. In 1247, this is not young. Robert knows this. His knees know this. His back has known this since approximately 1239. Robert lives in a village in Worcestershire with his wife Agnes, three surviving children, and two chickens he is not allowed to eat because the chickens produce eggs and the eggs matter more than the chickens. Today is a Tuesday in March. Robert will describe it as a Tuesday in March. The concept of a 'week' as a unit of leisure is not yet something Robert has access to. 5:00am - Up. Pottage on the fire. The pottage is oats, leeks, and some dried parsnip from the autumn store. There is a small piece of salted pork in it, approximately the size of Robert's thumb. It is mostly flavouring. Robert eats around it for as long as possible, then eats it, then thinks about it for the rest of the morning. 6:00am - Field. Robert works the lord's strip first, then his own. The ground is still cold. His boots have a hole. He has had the hole since October. He has packed it with rags. The rags are wet. They will remain wet until June. Robert is technically eating a plant-based diet. He is not doing this by choice. He is doing this because meat belongs to the lord, the deer belong to the king's forest, and the last man in this village who was caught with an unlicensed rabbit spent a period in the stocks that his family still doesn't fully discuss. 10:00am - Brief rest. Rye bread, hard. A small onion. Robert thinks about the pig that was slaughtered in November. He thinks about this often. The memory of fat is a specific and enduring thing when you don't have much of it. 1:00pm - Back to the field. Robert's average daily calorie intake is somewhere between 1,500 and 2,000 calories, the majority from grain. He is doing agricultural labour that modern exercise scientists would classify as extremely high intensity. He is, measurably, running on insufficient fuel. He is aware of this in the way that you are aware of things that cannot be changed: completely, and without drama. 4:00pm - Home. Agnes has made more pottage. It is similar to this morning's pottage. Robert eats it. Robert's teeth hurt. They have hurt for two years. There is no dentist. There is a barber-surgeon in the market town seven miles away. Robert cannot afford the barber-surgeon and cannot take the day from the fields. His teeth continue to hurt. 7:00pm - Sleep. Robert will be awake again at five. He is thirty-six. He will probably not see forty. The leading cause of death for men in his position is a combination of infection, injury, and the slow arithmetic of malnutrition across a lifetime. Somewhere, eight hundred years from now, someone will describe Robert's diet as "ancestral," "plant-forward," and "aligned with the earth." Robert would have a great deal to say about this. Robert does not have the energy.

@MUKIDEZA2 My ancestors were Scottish. Below is the tartan and family crest.

日本には家紋と言う家ごとに紋章があるんです。（受け継がれなくて消えた家もあるけど）アメリカには何か、自分の家に代々伝わる物とかありますか？

@TruthbyDiogenes You have to clutch and put in neutral to brake because it has separate brakes on each side for right and left wheels. Classic.

日本のみんな、これを見てくれ！ 子供の頃、僕が初めて手に入れたトラクターなんだ。1939年式のフォード9Nだよ。

@ASFleischman I retired from military justice in 2022, but the complaint then was the high acquittal rate, which might be more worrying than a low one.

Low acquittal rates may or may not reflect an unfair process. It depends on the reason.
