And to Trump slapping on a 100% tariff. Clearly a great decoupling is going to happen and it will be painful, the question is the timing. This is a plausible brink. From here, all that needs to happen to make it so is nothing. The current p

I'd like to give an off switch for pain to every adult. Here you go, just turn it off if you need to. But if someone gave one to me I'd be in trouble, if not dead. When my back pain got severe I may well have killed the messenger,

And the TSA and DHS have consistently asserted authority and exercised power — legally or not — to blacklist and surveil travelers without needing any suspicion of criminality. So the surveillance is a 4th amendment search violation

Yes, this was a long distance hike, it isn't practical to carry multiple bags. The backpack also included tarp, sleeping bag, food, fuel, water, stove. Roughly 5 days between resupply stops. The supply stops are often quite remote, far

After several weeks I got to a campsite that had a picnic table. It was such a pleasure to have a place to sit upright and prepare my dinner. I'll never take one for granted again. After getting used to doing everything on the ground a

My experience with MathAcademy is very positive. So is my experience using ChatGPT 5 as a math teacher in learning mode. I'm as fed up with AI slop as most people, but for me this is a domain where it excels.
