and for those that think this is an anomaly (one judge getting these odd/crazy cases…) this is what trial court is actually like (nearly) all day every day.

For modern performances Stefan Jackiw soloing for Max Bruch’s Scottish Fantasy is my favorite piece of music. And you can fortunately watch it on YouTube. I’ve listened to a number of recordings and no others compare, not even Heifetz’s. I’

One of David Foster Wallace’s many prescient musings. It’s a snippet from Infinite Jest, for those curious. Truly a fantastic novel. Clearly I’ve read his books too often though, because even without the telltale reference to interlace I wo

I am 100% unsure, but if you hold a modern Sonicare toothbrush head up to a refrigerator door the magnetism (if any) is not even strong enough to hold the head to the door. The old models had two dark-black rectangular magnets (many of whic

You reminded me of an old trick (now expired) that my grandma taught me: take the magnet out of used Sonicare toothbrush heads, wrap the magnet in electrical tape creating a pull-tab, and you have a rather powerful refrigerator magnet! Soni

Interesting close-to-the-end note related to much of the medical research (on mice) that gets posted to HN: “The end result, in retrospect, was predictable: they successfully cured muscular dystrophy in mice, but not in humans.”

This. It was (near the) front page news of most local newspapers that all get their news from the same Reuters-like sources/each other - stories like this are always popular water-cooler topics and spread rapidly as easy smalltalk.

What takes a decade to overcome? That seems like a gross exaggeration - from reading the Texas penal code it looks like your first DWI conviction is a class A misdemeanor and the license suspension period is 90 days to a year… that’s rather

Bad typo - I meant mid-1900s but I was sleepy. The 9s threw my brain for a loop. Edit: spelling

Basically ‘N-word-________’ was used to describe anything that was a shade of black well into the mid 90s. ‘N-word paper’ was used to refer to the tar paper that goes on roofs; ‘n-word toes’ was used to describe a darker toned edible nut. P

These two had a bit of additional history - 11 years of friendship and they both suffered similar (the same?) injuries that they helped each other through. They were close enough that one was invited to the other’s wedding. It seems like if

Part of me is baffled by the (based-on-my-experience) tremendous overlap of people who purport to be environmental conscious yet also buy loads of vinyl. As noted by The Guardian digital media is not much better though. https://w

This looks amazing. One of my favorite antiques in my grandparents’ house was a late 1800s/early 1900s homesteading “cookbook” that had basic step-by-step instructions for regular vegetable gardening to how to trap and prepare a squirr

Is there any evidence that this type of -entirely inhumane- testing has ever yielded results that a person could argue justifies the cruelty? I feel like all I ever hear is that rat/mice testing is effectively inapplicable to humans… I

I just remember telling teachers to not be in such a tizzy when I was quite young, certainly before middle school. Generally their state was my fault; I was far from a model student.

I’m USA born, have lived here my entire life, and have known what “being in a tizzy” meant since… 4th or 5th grade? I thought it was a relatively common word/phrase. I do read books though, but nothing fancy. Our literacy standards are

The most bandied about number is $12-$13 billion in profits, just from OxyContin. I believe that came up in their bankruptcy filings.

Bozeman would be an odd place for avoiding plebs - 30+% of the population is partying college kids and ski bums/outdoor vagrants. There are also the multi-million dollar homes, of course. It really is lovely there though.

On a Mac TPB + a decent VPN + BiglyBT = trivially easy torrenting. I have certainly never encountered any of the hardships you describe. I have been using that same setup for… 10+ years? With BiglyBT replacing Vuze after Vuze was purchased

Most people I know hate working anywhere, so that always seems like a bad metric to me on whether an employer is “good”…

I had a similar issue with the NYT - every time I subscribed (and during my subscription period) I found it impossible to avoid getting on their spammy email lists if I ever logged in to read articles. The only workable solution I found is

In the mid-to-late 90s, in hindsight, they were horribly dangerous. Usually each bar-end had an under-engineered tension system that was tightened with a single screw, or two small screws, everything metal on metal and prone to loosening as

I did a ton of mountain biking in the late 90s and early 2000s, after years of BMX racing, and one reason myself (and at least a few friends) stopped using bar-ends is because we kept injuring ourselves on them - they had to be constantly t

You seem to be implying that when Apple opened their App Store, just 13 years ago in 2008, that it was an intentional decision to allow “dark patterns,” but this really does not seem to be born out by Apple’s practices. After releasing a gi

From a purely fiscal perspective Oregon should be happy to rid itself of these counties (and Idaho stupid for accepting them) - with the exception of Jackson and (maybe) Josephine counties all of these regions are financial dead-weights tha

Not related to cancer, but the general consensus in the medical community seems to be that keto is NOT a healthy diet. Though it can help with weight loss it contributes to poor heart health and just generally mucks up your cardiovascular s

Thank goodness for obsessive Icelandic historians! Another one, Snorri Sturluson, is responsible for writing down much of the Norse mythology that we know of today. He is cited a bunch in The Norse Myths (a great book, in my humble opinion.

All those things are helpful but nothing will ever beat one-on-one lessons (Covid/finances permitting) with a teacher who is proficient in the style of play you’re most interested in. Or if you have a buddy who will jam with you and sh

OP was including other base fees beyond just the registration fee. The registration fee is $50-$500 annually depending on the state. With most states charging $250 or less.
