How did I miss this? Man, I had an incomplete childhood.

Am I the only one who wonders where Michael traveled to eat roasted butthole? This really sounds like a Bourdain episode.

Well, at least you dodged @oldtakesexposed.bsky.social

No, just saying that increasing dimensions for real-world applications in any event aren't the same as pure math problems.

Not a math dork (OK, super math dork, but not compared to this particular field) but I think the points in real space have the same issue.

Let's go from 2 to 3 dims: In 3D, if I am at the 40th floor of the hotel, I am happy, but if on the 300th floor of the 60F hotel, I will be dead soon.

Puddles Pity Party (@puddlespityparty.bsky.social) Coffee. Pie. And a good cry.

I saw you at the Greek for the Dare to be Stupid tour, and yesterday in Modesto, and there were some repeat classics. I recommend taking one more minute to see Al.

One difference: Kip Addotta was good but puddlespityparty.bsky.social is exactly the right vibe for the show (and was excellent.)

1. This classic movie did not need to get remade.

2. If it got remade and @kenjennings.bsky.social is not the Dawson character, that's a missed opportunity.

From Kagan's dissent in Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton:

"See (sorry) E. Kagan, Private Speech,
Public Purpose: The Role of Governmental Motive in First
Amendment Doctrine, 63 U. Chi. L. Rev. 413, 491–505
(1996)."

I don't recall an apology for self-citation before. Anyone know if this is a first?

I have run (and attended) a lot of legal trainings and virtually all of them attempt to engage the student in a fun or fun-adjacent or at least interesting way.

Memorable stuff sticks well at any age. But yeah, you also need to know things. Repetition, participation, engagement matter. JMO/ICBW.

I feel like you should be wearing a red shirt in this pic.

Crossness is amazing and breathtaking, and not the "we're treating raw sewage" kind of breathtaking.

On the other hand, they were not on social media at all when it was active, so point NEORSD.

The California Bar Exam Is a Disaster. Again! - Above the Law The California bar exam is transitioning to a new outside provider, but the rushed effort leaves applicants confused and worried.

Posted this at the other place first, glad folks are here: @joepatrice.bsky.social called it before it happened:

"Though to chant"?

Also, for non-commercial purposes, you can use the name: Puppy Bowl XVIII.

I express no opinion on the election; I do not live in Texas and do not know the issues.

But the more partisan a judicial election is, the worse it is. Vote for competent adherence to and application of law.

Good luck in your further adventures. I hope something awesome awaits!

ooh, you’re getting to the part where McClane and Gruber agree that violence cannot be the solution and the 40-minute discussion of Buddhist philosophy.

I don't need big accounts to follow me back. Why would they?

I'd strongly prefer that not to be the norm.

That doesn't sound right. 27% of starts last year were by left-handers, so for at least four starters: 27%^4 x .73 x 5 + 27%^5th, which is pretty close to 2%.

Further, that's the chance at any given time; over the course of a year it is more. Am I wrong?

I'm not sure it takes a high percentage to be profitable. On the other site, I get one or two new followers a day from a very specific demographic that is not historically drawn to minor league baseball prospect posts.

We have a cat that was disinvited from a further overnight stay after getting quite sick. They drew blood from her; she drew blood from them. This seemed fair to her but the vet folks were not of the same opinion.

(SPOILERY) It earned the ending. I don't see it as the best movie of the year, but absolutely did well with the concept.

(I did call it.)

Yes. For sure.

You need a sharper stick. I have tried yelling at it, and that was unsuccessful.

They obviously named it after Richard Bachman's story. I don't see how it's ominous; the protagonist of that story wanted to lose weight and did.

True story: When I worked at Magic Mountain one late night, a guest needed a ride into downtown LA. I gave him a ride and on the way, he asked me if I'd seen "The Hitcher." I hadn't.

He started telling me about it before realizing it was a bad idea to do so. He did not even attempt to murder me.

Searches appear to still be broken. I am pretty good at trying workarounds and this has gotten me different error messages.

I tried calling them and that led to a long wait time, but then you could ask them to call you back. When I called, the callback time was tomorrow.

Niels Bohr (not Neils) right? Congrats on the talks.
