Class 6 free-roaming vapor. Metallicity high but stable. Unconnected to the band, but willing to talk if they come around.

I had a difficult time processing all of this at the office today, and your writing genuinely helped. May it never come to a hundredth of what some of us have already had to endure! I hope we'll cross paths again sometime.

You probably could define Buddhism as a derivative of Hindu practice honestly, if only because so many core ideas are clearly in conversation with Hindu concepts

What's funny is that Vajrapani - who eventually led to those big thundery guys with clubs you see at the entrance to Buddhist temples in Japan - was based on Hercules, pretty much 1:1. I like to think Herc converted and found peace.

But Times/Siena had so much of the other problem they commented on it. They can't BOTH be right. "I ain't talkin to you! Only NATIONAL POLLS from the FAILING NEW YORK TIMES! **TRUMP!!!**"

The good news is that we know what those swing states are, and I do not think the Biden campaign is going to take anything for granted.

By showing signs of Republican apostacy, those people have stopped being Real Americans, and as such, must be discounted, as only the Real Americans can truly be said to be citizens of the United States. Not that I am bitter.

I went to look at the 2012 polling horserace graphs and it was interesting. Even so, it would be nice to see things trend the other way.

Not a great poll in general but boy that is a wacky one. Maybe the NYT will endorse RFK Jr instead of the man they're backing

This also makes it way easier to change. These equilibria are emergent, not some cosmic law breached by human sinfulness.

If you want to trade on your pundit reputation, you are going to say "Trump's probably winning" no matter the the data says. If he loses, fine, can you blame (Pundit) after 2016? If he wins, you were the contrarian who spoke truth to power. Except of course, if everyone's a contrarian...

Yeap. Some signal might emerge nearer to, and if Trump shits his pants at the debate he could lose. I'll be fair to Trump: He probably won't shit in his drawers. Probably.

It's really the perfect bet, but the fact that he's probably trying to recapture the 2016 energy means he will fail to do so

Oil is still going to have value in a post-fossil fuel world since it's a really useful feedstock for chemicals and plastics. I also suspect there may be some niche fuels where we can take the hit and remain well below net zero. US/Russia/maybe UK will retain some domestic production, otherwise: ME

The one big bad thing (Israel/Palestine issues) he has been moving in the right direction, and I do not think any other imaginable POTUS would have been better -- many of them worse -- some of them FAR worse.

Report me to the posting police for unauthorized smartass. As for the rest, do the local interests matter? I believe there was strong local support in NYC for congestion pricing (you may live in the area and be an exception, in which case, fair enough)

My great-grandpa got a boat to Canada and then jumped the border. Given that he later worked as a prison guard I assume he later got right with the Feds.

I imagine the argument would be that being in a vegetative state (and mysteriously looking completely embalmed, like Lenin) doesn't mean he's not still keeping that seat warm for a R POTUS/Senate to reappoint, as it is the property of the Republican Party.

Manifesting this, because it would be the funniest possible outcome. How well could they hide him being sick, anyway? (Him being dead is easier I presume, you'd just need a friendly funeral establishment or to bury him in the backyard real quick.)

Things like rice cakes and plain crackers that people say have no flavor? I can tell quite a bit of flavor from 'em! Usually a light saltiness and a buttery note here and there, probably from the malliard compounds. RIP Goya crackers, the #1 champion

Yeah, I think the main issue with CGI is not the technology itself, it is when it gets spackled on to substitute for filmmaking. The prequel trilogy is kind of in a weird space since Lucas was actually breaking new ground as I recall.
