also, if you happen to have some propranalol on hand (e.g., for anxiety), it can help with headaches too

excedrin* + one of these** while lying down for a bit.

*which is just tylenol + aspirin + caffeine, but they work better together
**I think these mostly distract you from the pain while the meds do their thing, but I find that very helpful. tiger balm on the temples also works, but is more intense

I mean, I certainly agree that the Yankees would still have made the playoffs if the best RH hitter of all time was their DH instead of their RF.

Judge beat Raleigh in both versions of WAR, which accounts for defense. The gap in fWAR, which includes catcher framing, was large enough that Raleigh would have had to have been the best defender in the league to overcome it.

the thing is, I think AI boosters actually see the underpants gnome aspect as central to their argument. their whole thing is that AI/AGI will make advances that humans literally can’t make on our own. in their mind, the fact that we can’t fill in the “???” in step 2 is *the reason we need AI*

and even if you could, doing so would be catastrophic to the socio-economic pyramid that the people running and financing the AI industry stand on.

Elon Musk would send Starlinks crashing down into every data center on Earth before he allowed an AI to come close to “ending scarcity.”

idk, I think it’s mostly that his brain is mush and “liquidity” just happened to be the Business Word he was able to pull out of the fog this time

I found it by far the most striking thing about this clip.

really crystallizes how Oz’s destructive malevolence is different than, e.g., RFK’s. RFK is an evil nutjob through and through, but there’s a real Dr buried inside Oz!

(this is absolutely not, for the record, to say that you “have to hand it to him” or anything. Oz is a malevolent and destructive force in American life. it just shines a light into the specific character of his malevolence and destruction.)

you know, it’s striking to me that Dr. Oz is so quick to swoop in and help the guy. that he still has that Dr’s reflex to help someone in need.

I dunno, it just somehow crystallizes Oz’s character to me. like, RFK is an evil nutjob all the way down, but there’s a real Dr buried inside Oz!
