So I've been a science teacher, museum guide, freelance writer, software dev, software product manager, network admin, and for a long time now a business trainer. And I run SFF conventions.

Last Notes npub1dwq09m8qzth0w9xtlqz5rz3ppk5ls02jt2gmd02hcylx9lp9zr8sl76wn4 Carl (He/Him) The Edsel would be a huge success for any small startup. The thing is, Tesla is still a small startup, but it's bizarrely overvalued so it gets compared to what was at the time the leading carmaker. npub1dwq09m8qzth0w9xtlqz5rz3ppk5ls02jt2gmd02hcylx9lp9zr8sl76wn4 Carl (He/Him) Did you mean "admitting" the problem? npub1dwq09m8qzth0w9xtlqz5rz3ppk5ls02jt2gmd02hcylx9lp9zr8sl76wn4 Carl (He/Him) There are (I would assume) other reasons to vote. Other offices? Judges? Voter initiatives? npub1dwq09m8qzth0w9xtlqz5rz3ppk5ls02jt2gmd02hcylx9lp9zr8sl76wn4 Carl (He/Him) @npub1nf4…nqe4 I have to wonder if LIGO picked up any gravity waves. npub1dwq09m8qzth0w9xtlqz5rz3ppk5ls02jt2gmd02hcylx9lp9zr8sl76wn4 Carl (He/Him) Will this appear on your site? I want to show it to people at my job, and our gateway blocks Mastodon. npub1dwq09m8qzth0w9xtlqz5rz3ppk5ls02jt2gmd02hcylx9lp9zr8sl76wn4 Carl (He/Him) My father was an Antifa member in the 1940s. His cell was "The Fifth Armored Division of the United States Army." npub1dwq09m8qzth0w9xtlqz5rz3ppk5ls02jt2gmd02hcylx9lp9zr8sl76wn4 Carl (He/Him) Why isn't this getting more coverage? npub1dwq09m8qzth0w9xtlqz5rz3ppk5ls02jt2gmd02hcylx9lp9zr8sl76wn4 Carl (He/Him) I have no actual doubt that you get this stuff, but nevertheless it's hard to believe people can be that obtuse. (Maybe they're LLMs?) npub1dwq09m8qzth0w9xtlqz5rz3ppk5ls02jt2gmd02hcylx9lp9zr8sl76wn4 Carl (He/Him) Burger King is operating in Russia in 2025? npub1dwq09m8qzth0w9xtlqz5rz3ppk5ls02jt2gmd02hcylx9lp9zr8sl76wn4 Carl (He/Him) How sure are you that this one's real? Nothing about it anywhere except ... this thread, apparently. Maybe that'll have changed by the time you see this, of course. npub1dwq09m8qzth0w9xtlqz5rz3ppk5ls02jt2gmd02hcylx9lp9zr8sl76wn4 Carl (He/Him) Does not appear to actually be from Harvard. npub1dwq09m8qzth0w9xtlqz5rz3ppk5ls02jt2gmd02hcylx9lp9zr8sl76wn4 Carl (He/Him) Because I post as @npub1dwq…6wn4, I'm required to say that you mean "Edgedancer". Which, by the way, is pretty good. npub1dwq09m8qzth0w9xtlqz5rz3ppk5ls02jt2gmd02hcylx9lp9zr8sl76wn4 Carl (He/Him) Brandon had the writing style for the characters down, the plot spoke to me, and it had somewhat less "Kaladin mopes" content. I'm a fan of other viewpoint characters more than Kaladin. npub1dwq09m8qzth0w9xtlqz5rz3ppk5ls02jt2gmd02hcylx9lp9zr8sl76wn4 Carl (He/Him) Interesting. WoR was far, far better that WoK for me. My favorite of the series, depending on which day you ask me. npub1dwq09m8qzth0w9xtlqz5rz3ppk5ls02jt2gmd02hcylx9lp9zr8sl76wn4 Carl (He/Him) Doctors Steven Novella and David Gorski, along with the rest of the Science-Based Medicine crew. npub1dwq09m8qzth0w9xtlqz5rz3ppk5ls02jt2gmd02hcylx9lp9zr8sl76wn4 Carl (He/Him) Trouble is, I already didn't buy from Amazon. npub1dwq09m8qzth0w9xtlqz5rz3ppk5ls02jt2gmd02hcylx9lp9zr8sl76wn4 Carl (He/Him) It is possible not to read that as "EvilCore"? npub1dwq09m8qzth0w9xtlqz5rz3ppk5ls02jt2gmd02hcylx9lp9zr8sl76wn4 Carl (He/Him) I've had that same thought about what I have to call "the free states". npub1dwq09m8qzth0w9xtlqz5rz3ppk5ls02jt2gmd02hcylx9lp9zr8sl76wn4 Carl (He/Him) Interestingly, rates have fallen in Democratic Northeast, but rise in, well ... npub1dwq09m8qzth0w9xtlqz5rz3ppk5ls02jt2gmd02hcylx9lp9zr8sl76wn4 Carl (He/Him) Have you looked at how John Deere used to extort its customers? https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/01/john-deere-relents-says-farmers-can-fix-their-own-tractors-after-all/
