Not much earlier. The trade can't become official until the 2nd, which means the first team bears all the injury risk until then. Especially for Huff, who has 17M fully guaranteed remaining. So it'd be awkward: trade team wants Huff in shape b/c paying 17M, Eagles want him doing nothing.

Also was only fooled by the hot Nazis, of which there are none here

Indy is also 100% not fooled by people pretending not to be Nazis
...
unless they're hot, which, y'know, eeeew Trump

The explosives weren't active: in the document it mentions they were inert.

(I may or may not have broken down Ghostbusters' characters and development in college, why do you ask? 🤣)
October 31, 2024 at 7:05 PM
All of the 3 original Ghostbusters are *supposed* to be weird. You get an intro to that super fast (Venkman's a creep, Egon tried to drill a hole in his head, Ray let Venkman take out a horrible mortgage and got suckered into buying a rustbucket). Winston's there to stress "these guys are weird"

That movie had *TWO* cultural touchstones!

First is the song (obviously)
and the second is popularizing the phrase "X is toast" which mostly *did not exist* prior to Bill Murray ad libbing it.

I mean, you're literally supposed to hate Venkman at the start of the first two movies. He's an utter creep in the first and a total fraud in the second. And then you slowly get invested in this creep guy becoming not one.

note Winston (the everyman) never does anything remotely iffy in either

But! That's a bull$#!+ number, because generally, the writing part of a person's day is low calorie usage, which means for a typical US diet, they're *carbon negative* for that portion.

"that's the total energy to keep a human ALIVE"

More than alive. It aggregates everything they're doing *including using ChatGPT*. Actual energy cost to keep a human alive is absurdly tiny (order 100W) - so 0.1 kWh, or ~20 grams CO2e.

I'm constantly astounded at how any adult American can be so ignorant of what *fascism* is!
October 29, 2024 at 7:49 PM
what he's neglecting to mention is that fascism is historically successful at stopping __everything__

me, naively: "creating an embedded Linux distro can't be too hard"
me, shortly after: "wtf is a phandle? bbappend? why are you constantly downloading things? where is this reference coming from??"

I mean if you apply the standard 10x multiplier for Musk in the correct direction, it's still insane but not like, wacko insane
October 28, 2024 at 7:12 PM
of course if people don't realize that Musk just makes up numbers constantly left and right, that's an *additional* problem.

Dude has never met a deadline or estimate he couldn't just blow right past

The building on fire (Fort Rapids) is a pretty darn visible building to anyone who drives through central Ohio on I-70 : it's right off the first exit heading west after the 270 split.

It's also this huge TikTok thing - if you've seen stuff like "America's Largest Abandoned Waterpark" - that's it.

Seriously, how doesn't Jeff Oh Kern have a Wiki page.

Bought stuff at auction cheap, refused to sell/upkeep them - his asking prices were absurd and was almost impossible to contact.

Sentenced to jail time (avoided, I think?) multiple times, has multiple warrants out

Whines to court every time

Rodgers's expression here is just :chef's kiss:
Jets flop again, vs. Pats: 'A moment of darkness'
The Jets dropped their fifth straight game, a demoralizing 25-22 loss to the Patriots, on Sunday at Gillette Stadium -- one of the franchise's lowest points in recent memory.

It mattered that he couldn't lead his party. In the modern US, that's almost all that matters of a President (sigh).
