IIRC from watching a documentary about this, there was a lot more evidence.
Also, if they concluded that bad medical care led to the deaths, and Letby was a care giver on each case, then that isn’t really painting the picture they want to paint.
No. I just read whatever is on top of the stack of books waiting to be read, unless a new book in a series I’m already reading just came out, then I’ll start that.
If there isn’t a book that is screaming your name from the shelf, then you aren’t going to miss out on some life changing moment. Books aren’t instantaneous moments that you’ll miss out on. Your experience might be different if you read a book when you are in your teens vs when you are in your 20s vs in your 40s, but if you read a book now vs in a few weeks, I think you’ll be OK.
One of the Space Force bases doesn’t have hot water for a long time because of a planned construction project that wouldn’t have been a problem if so many people weren’t forced to work there. Another Space Force Base has about half the parking spaces it needs because of the parking area taken over by a planned construction project that started just before this return to work order. This is going to last 3 years because a return to work order wasn’t anticipated or planned.
The weird thing with this one is that America already has a thriving wine and sparkling wine industry. $ for $ I vastly prefer CA reds over French or Italian. Now, in the higher end I will switch to preferring French or Italian, but a $20 pinot from Central Coast is way better than a $20 “Burgundy” or “Tuscan Red.” Getting into the $50 range it starts being pretty equal, and then in the $100+ range the European wines start dominating.
So a tariff won’t really help the US at all, since we already have what he says is his intended purpose.
I think that only applies to RF antennas, as opposed to animals’ antennae???
Thanks for this context! It’s quite easy for people outside of an area to lump a bunch of stuff together.
Didn’t hurt the Republicans every time they threatened a shutdown when the Democrats were in power. And if the Dems think they can get some concessions from the R’s by forcing the country to get hit, then it might be worth it to stop some crazy shit in the long run.
He’s been crazy for a very long time, this is nothing new. The only thing new is the amount of power he has now.
We were just having a similar discussion, though not about Enya. My position was if I had a billion dollars, you know what I would do? I’d recreate Hogwarts Castle. I’m not even a huge Harry Potter fan and hate what’s-her-name, but how cool would it be to live in a beautiful movie set house the size of a small town?
Woodinville is pretty good.
Japanese whiskeys are great, but they can get expensive. Whiskeys made in blue states are likely to be more craft-oriented and also be expensive.

Most of those are in Napa/Sonoma/Paso, which are expensive wine areas. They mostly have $75/bottle bourbons.

Those are in Portland, and they are also quite expensive compared to Jack and Woodford.
Woodinville is from WA and is pretty good. A bit more expensive than your normal bourbons, but not crazy.
What I’m not seeing from this story is whether the farmers have tried paying a higher wage to attract workers who are not at risk of being deported. Are they paying slave wages and taking advantage of a population of people who are unable to get a less physically demanding job?
Another thing I’m not seeing is any mention of how these farmers voted in the latest election. Rural Pennsylvania isn’t exactly a hotbed of liberal ideology. I wouldn’t be surprised if the same people screamed about “illegals.”
It sets up Russia for accusing Ukraine of breaking the cease fire, allowing Trump to end all sanctions on Russia, sanction Ukraine, end all support to Ukraine, and possibly aid Russia in their “counter-offensive.”
It also allows Russia time and security to safely move their troops to more strategic locations instead of being bogged down in bad positions.
Rich people can actually make money on a crashing market, especially a crash that was EXTREMELY predictable by anyone who isn’t sucking on Trump’s dick. So this will just further increase the rich/poor gap.
That’s all true, but there are many people who are planning to retire soon. There are also people who a college saving fund for their kids that is tied to the market, so now their kid’s college fund is much smaller. Depending on how much the market drops, it could really screw over a crop of kids trying to go to school in the near future with other kids their own age.
They were only able to receive signals from the bare minimum to achieve a solution (4 GPS and 1 Galileo). Their achieved accuracy was +/- 1.5km and +/- 2m/s. That is good enough in astronomic scales to get you to a planet, but it isn’t going to help failed landings or autonomous landings.
I don’t think there was any new tech involved, just a receiver put on a moon lander to see if it could detect signals. And this won’t really do anything for Mars for two reasons: 1) the signal strength would be too small for any reasonable antenna to detect GPS L1/L5 at Mars distances, and 2) the distance would make the geometry be unusable to trilaterate a solution… think about a triangle where two lengths are 100 million miles and the third length is 100 miles. That is a completely worthless geometry for trilateration of a position solution. Even if we could somehow detect a GPS signal at Mars, best case is we get atomic clock time.
It’s good! This book is more enjoyable than the others, I think. The other books had SO MUCH to set up that it got a bit dense. Now it feels like Sanderson can just let the story play out instead of setting up stuff. It’s also finally making firm, direct connections between the Cosmere planets as opposed to just hints at them.
FINALLY finished the TJ Klune sequel to House on the Cerulean Sea, whatever it was called. I’ve really enjoyed their other books, but this one was such pappy crap. Every single sentence was designed to tell you how special and wonderful being different is, to the point that the story was boring as shit.
A week later and I’m 500 pages into Wind and Truth by Sanderson.
The officers issue orders, and the officers mostly hate Trump. The enlisted people are far more pro-Trump than the people who issue orders. They take an oath to protect the people under their command AND an oath to protect the Constitution, and they take those oaths very seriously. They hate that Trump shits all over those people and shits all over the Constitution.
They will follow orders from Trump when there isn’t much at stake or if they align with their mission of protecting the United States and its allies/interests. I think you would see mass resignations on the officer side of the military if they were commanded by Trump to attack Canada. They might not refuse to follow an order, but they might resign or force a reassignment to a post that is not involved with the attack on Canada.
