    Dump Term 2, 1.01: Sleep Now in the Fire

    Dunning-Kruger in full effect. As I recently saw it summarized, there is a minimum capability required just to know that you're minimally capable. If you don't hit that, you think you're brilliant.

    Dump Term 2, 1.01: Sleep Now in the Fire

    There was someone on Fark who posted a video about someone commenting on this phenomenon. Society is losing its ability to do its own search for information as "the algorithm" on social media has taken hold. Unfortunately I can't find it anymore, but it's definitely a thing, Doesn't help that...

    Business, Economics, and Taxes: Eat Cereal for Dinner

    If I remember right, you pulled everything out in 2009 and missed a huge chunk of the rebound in the following years. Stop reacting to daily or even monthly movements when you're doing long term planning. Unless you plan to retire in the next 5 years, stay the course.

    Dump Term 2, 1.01: Sleep Now in the Fire

    Except for Al Green, they sat there with their auctioneer paddles and protest outfits and homemade signs and looked like a bunch of college students protesting their administration for some random cause de jeur rather than a party staring at a group of people willingly tearing the country apart...

    Dump Term 2, 1.01: Sleep Now in the Fire

    If there were ever a sign that we're the bad guys, yesterday was it. That was as disgraceful a performance by US leaders as any in this country's history. We deserve every bad thing that happens to us going forward on the international stage.

    Dump Term 2, 1.01: Sleep Now in the Fire

    So this is from an FAQ sent out by Musk's coup collaborators trying to sucker Fed workers into resigning. As a former state-level public employee, they can go fark themselves.

    The Power of SCOTUS V: The Final Frontier

    The Michigan affirmative action case came down today. Ultimately, the law is upheld 6-2 with Kagan recused. But the 6 yes votes resulted in four opinions, none of which gathered more than 3 votes.

    statistics question

    Just curious if any statistics guru out there can tell me just how bad my wife's jury pool was this afternoon. I used to be able to do this stuff back in college but cant remember how at this point. persons on panel: 20 persons on panel with characteristic A: 4 Persons on the final 12-person...

    Going without cable? (aka, "home market" blackouts suck)

    So the wife and I just moved into a new house, and for now we're foregoing cable and just getting high-speed internet. Honestly, right now all's well. Netflix streaming + hulu is working fine, and we'll be getting some rabbit ears to get the over the air channels soon. If we need to, getting a...

    Semi-OT: NYT article on helmets in sports

    Kind of interesting that women's lacrosse, which is more aptly described as freeze tag with sticks but I digress, is resisting the implementation of helmets, using the increased violence in hockey (when the NHL mandated helmets) and football (when facemasks got bigger) as examples of what they...

    computer issues: part infinity

    So my desktop (which I'm using right now) is starting to randomly freeze. Sometimes it works for hours playing games without freezing at all sometimes it freezes after a few minutes sometimes it freezes when logging into windows sometimes it freezes after post while as windows is loading...

    car repair question #whatever

    So I have a 98 Toyota Camry, though probably for not much longer. Go to pick my parents up from the airport. Get there fine, pull up to the curb, put it in park, pop the trunk, load the bags, get everyone in car. As I go to shift from park to drive, I feel a sort of pop (though there wasn't...

    Obama XII: The shine is off the glass slipper

    You'd have at least some leg to stand on if the so-called Fairtax was still an income tax, just without any exemptions. Sales taxes (and their evil cousins, VATs) inherently hurt the poor more than anyone else because they have to spend money just to live. The "Fair"tax is classism at its...

    Job search procedure question

    My current job is a one-year clerkship with a state court. The judges I work for have already told me to start looking for employment for next year, the sooner the better. In essence, nothing I say here will tick off my current employer. Anyway, on Monday I received an e-mail from a potential...
