I’m amused but I guess not shocked or surprised that some people below this comment have different limits on what they’ll do for money than I do. I 100% would not spend any significant time restricting my freedom in jail for ANY amount of money. You can extend my principle to doing other things for money, also. I think my principle might come down to: I won’t trade myself (me, I don’t mean my time or my knowledge) for money. I won’t relinquish my autonomy or control for your money. Yet some will.

TBH I’m not sure I’ve read anything from Gentry Lee that I really loved.

This is admittedly quite niche (as I work on a balloon experiment) but I really appreciate how the nullschool map shows the 10 mbar level (5-7 would be even better if course)

The only way you can use FB imo.

Agreed. I'm over 50, so I'm 'allowed' to use FB ;-), for those few posts of the last remaining family and friends there. Using FBP, I only see new posts of friends in chronological order. But FB still f*cks you, because it does not show all updates of everyone. When the algo decides you've had enough, you simply reach the 'end' of your feed. Well when FB, sessions keep getting shorter and shorter... There are some EU laws in the making that might change things, though.

lol! Me too! I remember the alien interaction dialog and this word.

Why this reaction? Please, look at everything going on in the US and the world not just this one aspect.

Except that’s just normalizing his behaviors.

It’s not. It’s mocking.

I like my politicians to be professional.

Haven’t you ever experienced having a story read to you, and falling into deep immersion and visualization?

Let me tell you about this thing called saliva…

Not when so much meat has sugar added to it.

Sugar makes an excellent spice, not a primary ingredient. It's really useful for grilling for instance.
