…can be hazardous to your health.
What happened on Maui appears to be a mass murder by woke incompetents. At the very least, it was negligent homicide.
[Update a couple minutes later]
A lot of people should be going to prison for the Maui fires. Yes, but they almost certainly won’t.
Yes, it’s unclear that, absent physics breakthroughs, there will be any practical reasons to head off to another star.
But not just yet.
It does have to be done as well as possible.
You’re probably shifting out of your lane too soon.
Driving back from Yosemite on Thursday, Caltrans had shut down the right three (out of four) lanes on I-5 in Castaic. We lost one lane at a time, and the first merge was the slowest. Each next one sped things up, until we were all in a single lane, and moving at a reasonable speed. Part of the problem was that much of the traffic in the right lane was trucks (we were already in the left lane when the backup started). It added about twenty minutes to the trip time.
An interesting discussion between Jordan Peterson and Vivek Ramaswami. This seems very weird to me: “…most people are a little slower reading than listening, and that means they are really capable of absorbing more complex material than they’re willing or able to read.”
I’m just the opposite. I don’t have the patience to listen to someone tell me something, and I don’t retain information well that I take in through my ears. It’s why I hated lectures in college, particularly when they were just repeating the textbook, which I could read myself much faster.
Arnold Kling says we are all wrong about it.
Well, maybe someone is right, and we just haven’t heard from them.
This is pretty funny.
I wonder if this is Olive Garden policy, or just that restaurant?
Anyway, I’m sure that the same people who demand that we agree with their mental infirmities also demand “trigger warnings” if we’re going to say something they’ll disagree with.
They’re not going to let a few dead civilians slow them down.
Meanwhile, environmental and regulatory issues are hamstringing SpaceX in Boca Chica.
A depressing litany of how far we’ve fallen in this century.
