Why colleges *should* be in crisis:

1. Costs and debt
2. Demographic collapse of 18yo
3. Employment advantage of base BA is decreasing.

It would be like Amazon to move prices 5-10 cents and stay under the radar.

I thought Amazon tried this a few years ago. Do they still do dynamic pricing or did they give up?

If each has a 30% crash probability, then if we assume independence the prob of no crash is (2/3)^3=0.296

So 70% crash.

How demented is Trump?

I suspect โ€ฆ not. As medically defined dementia is end-stage. Trump would be in the pre-dementia stage. Similar to average 80yo. Impaired, vulnerable, bad judgment, shouldnโ€™t drive unless good conditions.

Civilians underestimate how bad 80 is for most.

A lot of Somali-Americans are citizens and can vote. Like most 1-2gen immigrants they tend socially conservative, so Trumpโ€™s attacks are a kind of antidote.

Sea-Star Murdering Robots Are Deployed in the Great Barrier Reef The RangerBot is a new line of defense against coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish

Here's a big problem, though: This starfish regenerates from even a single surviving arm (like a Terminator!).

So humans have invented a terminator of their own: an AI powered, toxin-injecting underwater robot called RangerBot.

I mean, what's the =worst= that could happen?

Nuzzi is now an icon of cynical cool-kid no-values access journalism.

โ€œBeing a Nuzziโ€ is a phrase we can use.

It is going to get harder to recruit human soldiers; that will accelerate the autonomous drones.

The comment that caught my eye was about Trump working 21h a day.

We now Trump only slept 5h a night before his Alzheimerโ€™s manifested. And dementia wrecks sleep cycles. And that he likes to call and chat when he canโ€™t sleepโ€ฆ

We have so many nutters in medicine itโ€™s a relief to hear of one in a more respectable field.

We, by comparison, have RFK.

Airport gyms are a fun idea. I suspect liability would be a problem though.

I would love pull-up bars on the airplane.
