I don't, and everything that can be locked down, is. It's intrusive and over designed for no real purpose.

I don't know what they are trying to say. The lag on that thing is nuts. I think I'm just supposed to scroll down and experience something, but it's like it's hopping around at random.

I agree. It won't happen through this process. This is largely focused on freedom of movement for money.

There are a lot of details to work out. I was just listening to Lawfare today and they were discussing the association between foreign workers and the rise of the radical right in Germany. Initially civil society was behind the influx but the mood changed after several years.

Well you may be happy then. I'd personally love access to the Schengen area and the right to live and work in Europe. The other stuff is good too.

Nothing wrong with being attracted to women. Lots of us are. It's just a creepy framing.

So let's sexualize actresses that aren't generally sexualized? What a great time we're having!

Anathem by Stephenson fits this bill. Cold open to a universe with no exposition and no viewpoint character that gets things explained to them. It's pretty fucked up until you begin to piece together the clues and build the world logic for yourself.

The Chronoliths by Robert Charles Wilson (not to be confused with that other Robert Wilson) deserves an honorable mention. The story is driven by the appearance of massive monument commemorating a military victory 20 years in the future. As the story progresses more of these future monuments appear as the story drives towards the conditions that will initiate the war.

That's not a public health test as it's not reportable. Just lime I can take my own temperature but public health doesn't care. Compare the treatment of COVID to sexually transmitted infections that are reported and contact traced.

Yes. But compare it to getting the clap. With a sexually transmitted disease they will report it for statistical purposes then contact trace etc. With COVID it's only reportable with a fatality. If you test positive there is no way to get it counted. You just don't know how much is out there.

When I say you can't get tested it's not like there are clinics where you can go in and et tested like you used to. Still can for STBBDs though.

 

All I want to do is not get media played when I don't want it. And I already block ads. But this #$&@ thing blocks the x that would close the media.

In the old days almost everyone skated to classical music which was almost always in the public domain.

A few years ago the rules shifted to allow skating to music with lyrics, which opened the door to contemporary tunes.

That change has come with a host of issues including broadcast rights if the performance is televised, or differing rights depending on the country of performance. A routine can be peformed in some competitions in some places but not others.

 

I ate so many cookies I wasn't hungry. I'm sure there will be regrets - I might need a Tums before bed.

 

I don't know if this is what your after, but I flew into Denver today. I ate a takeout burrito in my hotel room while watching tv. I'm going to be in bed by 8.

 

The US 2nd circuit has ruled that auditors opinions aren't relevant in cases of investor fraud because the statements are too vague for people to rely on. Whut?

Wall Street Journal article here for those who have access.

Here is a professor's blog entry for a barrier free commentary on the importance of the case.

 

I am finally going to join the '90s and set up a blog. The audience is mostly students to show how the academic stuff blends with real world professional practice. I'm an adjunct so I have a foot in both worlds.

I have my domain names (parked for years) and free webhosting through my university - but the university doesn't provide any development tools. All of the recommended tools I've run across (weebly, wix, webflow etc.) either want to host the page, manage the domain name, or require a fee to link the page to my host. I'm simply looking for a low cost site builder where I can edit my files and move them to my webspace.

Any recommendations for a WSYWIG style editor? I'd be happy to not have to learn any actual coding, but will if I have to.

The last time I did any of this I was manually tagging static pages in notepad (lol).
