Misdemeanours. Jesus Christ. Does Michigan not have reckless endangerment as a felony or are they just so gun brained that your toddler finding your loaded firearm, bringing it to school, and passing it around to their fellow toddlers doesn’t count?

Heating my home hasn’t exploded in price, how awful.

I want a pair of Asics 727s but for whatever reason this particular pair of shoes is annoying and expensive to get outside of Japan.

There is a reason that over $2 trillion dollars was spent in 2026 alone on ai.

I didn’t suggest it was unique to humans.

Wow, that was a really fascinating article. I suppose this will also factor in to understanding the differing ability for higher thought between us and other animals.

That exam includes a 3-mile run, push-ups or pull-ups, and an abdominal plank.

I mean, that’s not much of a physical exam. Pretty much any person who isn’t physically limited in some way could achieve this level of fitness in a short time. I knew these fascists didn’t think much of women but I didn’t realize they thought they were totally physically incompetent. You really thought that women couldn’t jog for three miles? Or do a plank? haha

And then failing to realize that purpose.

Sure. I guess this falls under ‘natural experiments’ which is what David Card got his nobel for, figuring out how to test hypotheses some of the time. Now try and do peer review on that result.

The global financial crisis was a huge surprise to most economists and is basically the #1 example of the field not having any predictive power, something you generally want from a hard science.

CNN is a media company that has a lot to gain if it can get its audience to accept AI “personalities”.

Give me examples of economists coming up with hypotheses and then building experiments to test them.

What they said is actually totally reasonable. People (particularly economists) treat economics as though it’s a hard science akin to physics or chemistry, but it’s a soft science. They gave David Card a nobel in economics for figuring out a way to actually test hypotheses some of the time. In 2021.

For anyone who was curious like I was. Reminds me of a seagull.

(The link does lead to bald eagle calls, I don’t know why the link says golden eagle)

Currently 8 but I will be shifting to 1 in an hour or two.

The work […] defines any drink at 65 degrees Celsuis or above as “very hot” and posing a potential risk.

Well considering that their federal government is currently being ran by an inveterate liar and his personality cult, that seems reasonable.

That’s not the point they were making. They weren’t suggesting that they personally were looking forward to becoming a party apparatchik. What they are saying is that the structure of these parties incentivizes both the party to empower loyal but unqualified people, and for unqualified people to seek upwards mobility through the party. Then, as the party grows and more of those types of people are put in positions of authority, eventually the whole thing collapses from incompetence.

They are worried about having their gold stolen, basically.
