Mime-body dualism

GRIT

Can’t believe I got scammed into doing a 5 year program and a whole dissertation when the educational maestro was right there waiting for me

Happy to report that I get to spend two weeks in Berkeley at the taxpayer’s (perhaps even your) expense!

Out of respect for the holiday, please let there be no actual news today

Objects exist

I’m sorry that I’ll never be him

Also worth noting that the sentence has two readings, though the second is pretty niche. First reading is as above. Second reading arises if the dog is the agent of the feeding (in which case you the second ‘it’ introduces a PRO subject whose referent is fixed by the context.)

Grammatical but clunky and structurally complex! The natural reading seems to be: is feeding your dog candy bad for it?

Igor Tudor reportedly learned of his father’s death at full time of the Nottingham game. Whether his father died from watching the game is unclear, however.

Extremely ominous advertising

Man this watched pot sure is taking forever to boil. I wonder what would happen if I stopped looking

My submission entitled “Association Does Not Exist” was accepted for presentation at this, but I couldn’t make it for personal reasons. You must do us proud (and set the timer on the explosives correctly)

Being on the j*b m*rket rocks because everyone asks you how it’s going and then you get to watch the light leave their eyes in real time.

Also thinking about how many people have failed to appreciate the Bush admin’s role in the current madness.

(1) Unicorns have horns.

Any leads and/or thoughts are appreciated!

Imagine losing all of your money and being immediately submerged in the lake of fire. All-time bad beat

5.5%?! Guess I’m taking the inverse Pascal’s Wager

Luckily, I’ve used sophisticated Bayesian reasoning (setting my prior really high) to determine that even if we are in the same bubble we are still in the right on this one.

Eminently!

I can’t recall the actual sources on which I based my opinion, but I know there was one NPR radio segment recently on the subject, as well as some US news articles.

The main issue, as I understand it, is future power draw from the projected explosion in data centers. These also use water for cooling but the projections are such that’ll it form a very small fraction of global water usage as it scales. So the water issue is not pressing, given what we know.

Amazing discourse happening in the groupchat today

Ordered a copy of Chisolm’s Perceiving and received Lynne Rudder Baker’s copy!

I raise you one Marty ‘chicken chalupa’ supreme

Learn statistics and you too can be just like Mark

People say that the paradoxes of confirmation don’t matter for practical purposes, but those people have obviously never met a gruejay
