It was truly astounding how little was even remotely embarrassing in hers. (And how it somehow got covered as if it was scandalous anyway)

It looked like he was thinking about throwing up a triangle choke and then an armbar, but didn't really know what he was doing, as he had the arm on the wrong side.

Other awfulness aside, that's just bad science. If you see samples from a distribution, and those have a minimum of 19, there are very particular assumptions you'd have to make about the underlying distribution and the manner of parameter estimation to conclude that the underlying minimum is 19.

I was thinking Program for Evolutionary Dynamics and Optimization, would've actually sounded plausible.

I think the key is to not over-estimate your own fame: nobody would've known who they were or shared the video if they'd just kissed.

I think they failed to heed this advice, as it looks more like a poster session at a professional (adult) conference, whereas the intended audience just wants to see the baking soda volcano.

yeah, the cops made me roll off, and while I was worried I'd damage the wheel, I think it actually helped to spread the sealant I'd been futility spraying in there, such that I could then get enough pressure to get it to the shop.

I got a warning at about 20psi, but didn't exit because I thought I was just one more exit from home and the tire shop; next thing I knew I had 0 and had to pull over on the freeway.

I got a huge hole last week, went from 50psi to 0 in maybe 90 seconds, and was similarly getting close to replacing two of the others, so I did all four. First time with a pickup, was around $2300 😬

I'd instead be excited to have Claude/ChatGPT generate TikZ/PGF code to make schematics. Always wanted to use that more, but seemed hard to ramp up; letting it start you off and then tweaking from there could be great.

I've long thought Put Whitehouse in the White House had an even better ring to it.... but I'd also be happy with that.

It seems pretty good. I wish I'd realized I was eligible 6 months earlier before squandering a fortune on COBRA.
