He's not very observant, either. Everything in America has become a Reality TV Show. Most media are full of nothing more than media figures talking to other media figures about yet other media figures.

Why would a White House Press briefing be any different? When's the last time it was any different?

OT--they "fixed" the heat in my office, which since August has been so cold that I would lose feeling in my fingers. With the space heater going, it was just okay.Now, it is the temperature of the sun. I have no windows, and am broasted.

It frustrates me that most of that is just rules or typical diagrams (so not solving anything), but that the limit isn't written correctly, so it's actually meaningless.

Unless it's a very old heating system, that sounds like an excuse. Hopefully it doesn't take another four months for them to try to 'fix' it again.

It actually conveys linguistic information - statement vs question, referencing something already said/set up in space, the equivalent of intonation, etc.

Hardest part of learning the language - hearing people dont know how ro use their face and also to understand the nuances

Turns out it's actually hard to pull off random number generation. Cloudflare (which helps secure the internet) uses a wall of Lava lamps and uses data from digital cameras that face them to generate random numbers.
