Went down the rabbit hole on this guy a bit. He went on to participate in the CyberNinjas audit of Arizona's ballots after the 2020 election. He claimed to have technology that could detect whether ballots had been folded in the mail, and claimed to detect bamboo in "fraudulent Chinese ballots".

He was such a kook, the other kooks rejected him.

Doesn't this effectively kill the argument that the U.S. shouldn't implement socialized healthcare because it wouldn't pay doctors enough - so there wouldn't be enough doctors?

Something isn't right with this article. I'm suspect:

  • Type 1 is where your islet cells die off and you lose insulin production. Type 2 means your insulin production is fine, but your cells are resistant to the insulin. A Type 2 should have plenty of islet cells so adding more doesn't seem like it would do anything. Your body should regulate those cells to output the same amount of insulin as before.

  • This same treatment has been done in Type 1s already. It's not new. The problem is their body eventually kills off the transplanted cells and you have to do it again. Plus, you have to take immune suppressing drugs forever.

  • "Despite a kidney transplant, his pancreas still doesn't produce insulin." - This is just nonsense.

Hear me out: Nuclear airplanes.

It works for the submarines. Think of the pros:

  • Full power electric outlets at every seat instead of that bullcrap they have today
  • Flight attendants can easily be trained as Nuclear Physicists
  • If a meltdown does occur, it might very well recreate the entire plot of Donnie Darko.

I really enjoyed "Boss Level". (Sci-Fi Action with some comedy here and there)

I worked at a restaurant that had a contest once for which server could sell the most orange juice. At the time, sodas were $0.99 and orange juice was $1.98. So, any time a table ordered 2 sodas, I'd ring it up as 1 orange juice. I won by a landslide. The customers would occasionally ask why their receipt had orange juice, but I'd just explain it's the same price as the 2 sodas, and that was the end of it.

No, silly banana. He meant a "Masters of Computer Science". The smells have obviously driven him to start a university program.

You don't have to run the rat race to get promoted. You don't have to be at your desk at 7am and leave at 7pm to put on a show. Just be competent. Most people are not. You'll eventually get promoted once you are old and white enough.

Had something similar at a public company I used to work for. When any C-level exec "retired", an announcement would go out explaining they would "continue to graciously serve as a consultant for the company" - which always ended up being: We keep paying them exorbitant amounts to not work.

Meanwhile, I can't get a $1k / year raise for a person on my team because "business is tight".

Well, we're poor, so we deserve DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS.

This is Mac for me. 14 things I can click on the left of the file explorer that show me the same exact files... sometimes in a different order.
