Recovering academic now in public safety. You’ll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.

It’s heavy innuendo but yeah, they did the deed. Ilsa asks Rick to choose for her because loves them both. He sets it up like he is running away with her but then does the ol’switcheroo and sends her and Laszlo off while he holds the Nazis at gunpoint. He ends up shooting Nazis and Capt. Renault covers for him.
- Comment on Anon watches a romance movie 1 week ago:
Great romance requires a choice. It’s difficult to find a choice that matters, ideally it is something they already have, but are giving up. That’s why all the hallmark movies work because a big city girl is giving up her career to grow cucumbers or something. Making a choice to take a job somewhere else doesn’t work because it’s a future thing - giving up an opportunity is not the same as giving up a realized life situation. Infidelity really works because it’s a former dream, and it means giving up stability, status, comfort for the unknown.

I have done all of these. None of them were a midlife crisis - that was straight fucking.

I can appreciate that. But a 60 Minutes segment is about a four minute read.

I think I have finally found a generation gap that I think is real; old people like me would rather read than watch. A lot of my students would rather watch than read.
- Comment on We Went To Luigi's Trial. Here's What Everyone Is Missing. 2 weeks ago:
People who post articles provide a summary of the article. So maybe you should post a video summarizing the video you think we should watch?

Why post a 14 minute video for what is probably a 3 minute read?

- Comment on What's the best "good-bad" TV series you've seen? 2 months ago:
There was a show that ran on Canadian TV called Forever Knight. It was about a vampire detective who could only work the night shift and used the blood bank like a soup kitchen. It had surprising depth and rtich relationships among the the supporting cast. You had a sense that it was an actual community with a history and connections that existed outside the plotline. Also it had the best ending for a series I’ve ever seen.

My parents did. But that was before I was born, so the early 1960s.

When I was in grad school I mentioned to the department chair that I frequently saw a mis-citation for an important paper in the field. He laughed and said he was responsible for it. He made an error in the 1980s and people copied his citation from the bibliography. He said it was a good guide to people who cited papers without reading them.

I don’t agree with this idea that Ys always need to start at zero. If you want to demonstrate volatility there is a good reason to chop the scale. Just be up front about what you’re doing and why you made that choice. It’s only misleading if you chop the scale and misrepresent the result.

1.4 billion missing from balance sheet. Stock goes up.
Every cyber truck in North America recalled. Stock goes up.
Tesla banned from Canadian EV rebate program due to evidence of institutionalized fraud. Stock goes up.
No idea what’s going on.
