My take on it was that Jones was simply using her daughter for content, they way too many writers (and even more Youtubers, really) do. But your wife may well be right (and even if it wasn't Jones's intent, it definitely seems like a possible outcome).

They outlasted the Mets, at least.

Between this and Ertz it's a big week for guys who were solid on my previous fantasy teams.

I don't -- it's not a criteria I want to use for filtering, to be honest.

Thanks -- as noted, they're mostly minor, annoying, and time-consuming (and sometimes money-consuming).

If you find that you like his writing, the Merchant Princes books are fascinating from an economic POV, as it looks at parallel worlds at different timelines (so traveling from our world to another one still in early colonial times), and has some really interesting ideas. The Laundry ones are more dumb fun - imagine Le Carre spy stuff, but with Lovecraftian monsters.

Yeah, active threads are less of a regular issue for me (since being largely offline means having fewer threads I'm involved in), but every once in a while one fills my entire feed.

Oh, I mute a ton of users. Not so many territories, since I do like seeing what's active on the front page.

I figured you had -- your reminders had saved my ass plenty of times in the past on various sports contests!

Oh, man, can't believe this was one of the posts I missed. I used to love Stross, particularly his Laundry and Merchant Princes books, but kind of fell off. I haven't read this or the first book in the universe (Saturn's Children), but he's always been someone with an interest in both tech and economics, and even when I've disagreed with him, he's usually made the topics interesting.

Well, shit, guess I need to see if I can free up one of the book reviews that's been running through my head.

My understanding (as university staff that sometimes works with disability services) is that while you might not ask, the disability services folks absolutely have to and do. Is that not the case there?

Feels pretty lucky, all things considered.

The Citadel is the single thing I'll miss the most. "People who can explain bitcoin well" may be a small group, but others can fill that niche. Ditto "people who can chase away newcomers." But the Citadel stuff was always unique.

As in "the rewards dropping later" not "the amount of rewards have dropped."

So is the later rewards drop correlated with the obscene amount of money thrown into the pool via downzaps/countering yesterday?

(not a complaint about the later disbursement, just genuine curiosity)

Less something I found than remembered -- advantage of being old.

Wrestling's my priority tonight (and Wednesday football seems morally wrong), but regardless of how it might impact my fantasy team, I'm always rooting for the Pats to lose.

Zell Miller seems like the last one (and he addressed a real Republican convention.)
