“The cost of cars, fur coats, housing, booze, travel goes up and who gets excited? Nobody, because they don’t buy these things every day. Potatoes go up a few cents and my God, everybody’s crying.”
Eugene Whelan (1924–2013), Canadian Minister Agricultur e(1972–1979 and 1980–1984)

"certified freak?" no, i remain uncertified because the freak certification board has undergone regulatory capture and now artificially limits supply to drive up freak wages

If the whole lobby heard your room number, your room is not private anymore.
One of the first things I’m teaching these girls about traveling is protecting information that does not need to be public.
Your room number should be given to you discreetly. If it gets announced where strangers can hear it, speak up and ask what your options are.
Not because we want girls scared of the world.
Because I want them aware enough to notice the little things that can keep them safer.
Privacy is part of safety.

Two years ago today this man told us "I will cripple you" (referring to the entire U.S. economy) if we didn't give his east coast port union workers what they wanted (60%+ wage increases and a pledge of no automation of our ports). It worked btw, he got all his demands.

Just found a serious bug (utter error in official documentation) in DHI MIKE+ H&H modeling software
Or rather GPT-6-Astra-Medium noticed something didn't add up and we tracked it down together
It's likely that many people's models out there are underestimating runoff by 15-25%
