Just how corrupt are they?
Too corrupt.
My Deposition
Well, I survived it. I’m not going to discuss it, but the most amusing thing that happened was a screw up by his lawyer. He asked me if Michael Mann had ever done anything to me personally. I sat there for a minute, unable to believe that he’d actually asked me that, but then responded, “Counselor, I am sitting here today because your client filed a lawsuit against me eight years ago. It had my name on it. I’m pretty sure it was personal.” It cracked everyone up, including him, because he knew he’d screwed up. He then asked the question he meant to ask, modifying it with “…before you wrote the article?”
Stop Being Shocked
Thoughts on the war on liberalism by the Left.
“Clean, Limitless Power”
This is interesting. Probably only useful for small devices, but still useful.
The Lockdowns
…may have had little effect on the spread of the virus.
This was shooting ourselves in the foot, on full auto.
Intermittent Fasting
I’ve been doing this for quite a while. I don’t just skip breakfast; I don’t eat anything until late afternoon. But I don’t see the relevance of this study to me, even if valid, because I don’t do it to lose weight.
If I’m losing muscle (I’m not; I never had that much to begin with), it’s because I don’t work out as I should. If I did, I’d have to increase my food uptake (and I’d gain weight, but it would be in muscle). What the eating schedule for that would have to be, I don’t know. I suspect it would just mean that I’d eat more in the evening.
Escape From 2020
If it makes you feel any better, next year may be worse.
Perrow writes about how the failure of a complex, highly-coupled system can be catastrophic. I used his book, Normal Accidents, as a source for my book.
