Having heard Ford speak live, I can assure you people pay obscene amounts of money for any formerly famous or powerful person (or would have, in the past).

It's fascinating that the guaranteed income stream from speeches is gone in this current environment. Ford made a killing on speeches, and Clinton and Nixon both did pretty well with them as well.

Anyone who uses either for fact-checking deserves what they get.

Yeah, I've actually lost it a bunch of times (including yesterday). I love SN, but some days, I just have other things to focus on.

Even more ridiculous in the context of Charlie Kirk, who would be aghast at this.

Gotcha. I'm wondering if I somehow missed it all these months, or had simply forgotten.

Does time flow differently on Stacker News? I usually expect sorting any list (here and elsewhere) by "recent" will provide me with a list from newest to oldest. @k00b @ek

No, because I don't like spending extra money, yes because I hate lines. So ideally, someone else picks up the tab and we hit the express line.

A fantastic work that, like almost anything else, gets even better when you add James Earl Jones.

I look at folks like Aaron Rogers and Steve Young as great examples of becoming better players for waiting, but it really is rare.

Man, I miss Adams so much. I remember reading this essay back when The Salmon of Doubt came out, but it's been ages. Thanks for finding it.

Such a fantastic line (like so many of his).

Eh, I can do this without an app.

This is the third assassination in the US this year that comes to mind (the insurance guy and the politician in MN who was killed). I don't remember any in the years prior. Yes, there were assorted attempts, but this feels very different.

Don't understand how they can't possibly have someone in custody, given the brazenness here.

Thanks -- I appreciate the clarity.

I'm not trying to be an asshole or troll here, but you called this the "Official" guide. Are you working on Alby development (your bio doesn't say)? "Official" implies some level of connection to the project itself.

Glad to see science in action! Though I do feel bad for your friend having to go with little or no beers.

I used to listen to a BBC podcast called 30 Animals that Made us Smarter (which ran for two seasons, so there were way more than 30), and after hearing all of the ways in which engineers and scientists take inspiration from animals, I'm not shocked at all that something like this is possible.
