I haven't made any of the top recipes of 2023 either (does a baked potato count?), but I am interested in how to become intensely black. Is here a school? Also, too, why is Gingrich still being quoted at all?

Pretty sure the TAs in my Regression Analysis class are learning to hate me. I keep pointing out that they have the data labeled incorrectly in their latest sample code, and that it shows the opposite of what the lectures show, and they keep saying what matters is the interpretation, not the understanding of the underlying data. To which I've pointed out that if you don't understand the data, you sure as fuck aren't going to make sense of it. Also, if an important part of your data is categorical, maybe set it to be a factor rather than letting R and Python both think you are dealing with numeric values, as you get completely different results for certain things. Okay, back to our regularly scheduled day of herding cats.

You're doing the Lord's work. Innumerate fools wielding powerful canned analysis programs are truly dangerous.

If the intel community was actually worried about having a Russian agent in the White House, they could fucking do something about it.

Everyone knows that the NY branch of the FBI has been infiltrated by folks that report to Russia. Nothing they say can be trusted and instead of cleaning house the FBI lets it remain fuck them.

I've seen those circular emails from people unclear on the concept of the words, "global" and "reply all". Benign, boring, work-related stuff, but sent to the entire corporation. The hilarious thing was when others would tell the person not to use "global" and they themselves used a "reply all" email... to the entire corporation. You could hear the loud bursts of laughter from cubicles on the entire floor when these appeared in our inboxes.

No crazypants stuff... keep us posted on the fallout.

Someone who was a very junior member of my previous department in an industry where you're almost never more than one-step-removed from other people sent out an email on his last day with the company that was essentially a huge "fuck all of you" email without quite using those words. It was really weird, because while he hadn't been a great performer, he was ... adequate, I guess? ... and not really a particularly aggressive person or someone who was anything other than just kind of there. Everyone was like "Wait, X is leaving? And ... he hated all of us?" It was just an inert person who raged on the way out.

yeah, this wasn't a "fuck all you guys!!" kind of rant, this was a Jewish Space Lazers controlling the migration patterns of Monarch Butterflies I'm Gonna Win The Nobel Prize tomorrow kind of rant... I mean way WAY off the deep end.

No, but the guy who was in my position before I was hired got let go because he melted down in the middle of the admin office and told everybody just what he thought of them. He was a piece of work.

I was in an Italian restaurant in Ohio and ordered brewSKETTa. The server replied, "you mean brewSHETTa?" Sure, what the fuck do I know anyway, I thought but didn't say.

brewsketta is correct, and it annoys me when italians don't know any better. well, it annoys me when anybody doesn't know any better. i'm easily annoyed.

Opalescent Riddles's avatar

For the record, the server seemed unlikely to be significantly Italian in heritage or upbringing. Aside from just not knowing any better and having no one around who does, I also somewhat blame Americans' mispronouncing of bruschetta on the naming and advertising of a certain "Freschetta" that leans hard into the Germanic soft sch pronunciation.

That Politico article keeps saying the Steele Dossier was "largely debunked." I don't think that's true at all. The most salacious detail, about the Russian pee hookers, is unverified, and Steele said it was unverified. But there's a whole hell of a lot of stuff in there that is true. For example, there was mention of Carter Page's entanglements with the Russians, something that had already caught the attention of the FBI. I don't think it has really sunk into a lot of people's heads that Steele formerly ran the Russia Desk at MI6, the British Government's spy agency. He was a very experienced intelligence official with deep expertise and contacts in Russia. He was not putting out garbage.

And, once again, the work on that dossier was started by REPUBLICANS as a wedge to eliminate Trump from the ballot.

They're capitalizing on the fact that most people can't understand the difference between "raw intelligence" (ie, unverified, but also not refuted) and "lies."
