Home of the Underdogs was so good! It was a one-person project run by a woman in Thailand. She's an academic and investigative journalist now.

Andy Warhol once observed that the Coca-Cola drunk by the president and by a homeless guy are identical (and both excellent, per Warhol). Both X and Path to Exile 2 are just as dogshit to Elon and to us.

The linked article cheerfully predicts that the plot succeeding would have result in every Catholic in the country being lynched, changing the whole course of English history, because no Civil War, etc

The plan was to use the chaos after the explosion to launch a rebellion, recruiting as they went. They started doing this, announcing that the king was dead - nobody wanted to join up, and the leaders were captured. So it would have failed, but there was a plan

If anything, the reverse of this is true - the current value reflects expectations about Nvidia's future earnings, not its backwards investment.

You're probably mixing him up with the always-interchangable Rumsfeld.

For a "abundance" movement, these guys seem obsessed with scarcity and the value engineering of everything.

I guess they don't have much chance to practice. Pistol marksmanship is hard and takes serious amounts of training to get half-competent at!

Yes, but British people consider that to be an extremely long drive.

The Nazi nuclear programme was hopeless - poorly funded, fragmented, prone to infighting, crucial physics concepts considered "Jewish" so ignored, researchers with PhDs conscripted and sent to die on the Eastern Front, and more besides. They never stood a chance at building a bomb.

Employer-side national insurance contributions in the UK work like this too - not on paychecks, not included in salary offer, etc

The awkward thing about declaring that we are or are not in a recession (2 quarters of GDP shrinkage, per NBER) is that GDP figures are released with a delay, and are often revised. So you don't actually know you're in a recession until at least 7 months in.

The key implication of this change would be to make the CMA's decisions fully appealable through the courts, on the substance of decisions as well as the process. Right now It's process-only as the panel is independent of the CMA

This would massively increase cost, complexity and time for everybody

Bear in mind that he probably had multiple staff members and other sycophants read it and tell him it was brilliant.

It's the pettiness and misery of the power fantasy that gets me here. They don't want to rule the world, or lead a galaxy-conquering imperium. They just want a little patch of dirt where they can beat their slaves in peace.

She should try the "it wasn't a penis costume, I was dressed an accusing finger, wagging at the wannabe dictator"
