Yeah, you can't beat the market over the long term, but he is sure giving it a try!

Can bad things happen in war? Who can say?

Listen folks, we've always been at war with Eastasia

Hatcheting every renewable energy project you can imagine and then causing a major oil crises for no reason is some real 3-D chess. Monty Burns aside, the sun (and wind) is famously difficult to blockade.

yeah, at the end of the day we'll still need people that are capable of assessing research output (however generated) because otherwise the only thing you can do is "take the computer's word for it" and that is bad on a ton of different levels.

Killing the VRA is Roberts' life work and I'm fully expecting a maximalist ruling

So many cities are going to adopt at large schemes

oof. Me neither.

Like, even a pro-Bibi telling of events (just to be clear, not one i would endorse) would have to put conflict front and center.

I don't know why this of all the things is what got to me, but Graham Platner might be my personal breaking point.
