I believe I have just pushed a fix, let's monitor over the next hour and see how it looks

Ope, thank you, I was blacked out on internet access when you posted but it looks like it's ok now? I'll continue to monitor for recurring issues

Nearly ran over John Cusack yesterday I know a girl who almost ran over Rod Blagojevich. He used to jog in the middle of the road. I think he was looking for an exit

as per old.reddit.com/r/chicago/co... (ignore the preview, this is a link to a specific set of comments about Blago)

Oh ALSO if there's a breeze externally, make sure you're not trying to fight it with your fan

Doesn't matter, so long as you have exhaust somewhere and ventilation elsewhere. Though in my experience, if you're choosing one, blow cool air in if you can get the fan fully outside or you're sitting close to the fan blast, otherwise hot air out

Important to note that the military (the Army, at least) has spent decades reforming its initial soldier training to a curriculum that fundamentally doesn't and can't work for draftees

...to chuck all that out and *explicitly* start a war against another MENA state over a WMD issue and lobby for the U.S. to join-- which it does!

Wow. The tinder you've thrown on the bonfire of domestic (and global) antisemitism is astounding. Almost hard to believe even Bibi and his compatriots...

So you have to know that either a win or lose is virtually certain, or that youโ€™re in the much larger space of โ€œit could go either wayโ€ and then you stop scrolling and go do the work

I had a similar thought while on the Harris campaign - polling aggregators are great but there isnโ€™t a lot of difference between what is reasonable to do at 20% win probability and at 80%.
