Show me where I said that dot.
You’re wrong
The only issue is whether Beth or Jamie
We are half way through season 4. Frankly, ATM I would like to see both get it!
Trump will be President in April 2058.
Naysayers beware.

This blog continues to be off the pace.
Unlike your massive prediction, right? I’m not trying to give you a hard time about it, but it be nice to see a little humility from your end. How about a heartfelt,
I’m sorry I was an idiot for making such a prediction and I was wrong.

DUDE!
You said Trump would be President again by now!
DUDE!
Do you really want to walk back your claim Trump would be President again by now?
No, not walk it back! No, that’s not what I meant!
I never said that!
You honestly believe you never made that assertion?
Please see your doctor.
It was made boastfully over and over again, despite our kindly counseling against such madness!

Anytime someone posts a comment relating to Russian deaths, you always retort suggesting it’s misinformation. Why would your comment about Ukraine deaths be accurate?
I’m shitposting. Still, I only think one of those numbers is greatly exaggerated.

Dot – previous days debate re Putin under Russia.
Have you have parents suffer under the USSR after ww 2.

This blog hasn’t reconciled EO 13818 and 13848 as well as as the memos in the last days of the Trump administration
For now
Good night

Cassie and others thank you for the explanation of thermal dynamics and the concept on entropy.
Matrix – all practical ideas jobs eg engineering, architect, lawyer, surveyor,accountant, doctors have the same problem.
Unless you have experience in the workplace in your trade you will struggle.
Going from Uni to the workplace as an accountant I was absolute shit

All remarkably prescient as well. In one, the orange team(read Japan) conducted a surprise attack at Pearl Harbour at dawn on a Sunday.
Edward S. Miller’s book “War Plan Orange” is interesting reading on the subject of “War Plan Orange.”
It seems as early as 1935, the U.S.N. had decided that the Philippine Islands would almost certainly be overrun in the first stages of any Pacific War, but their relief was no longer first priority. The Chief of Staff of the Army of the United States made no objections – oh, what was his name again? Yes, of course, General Douglas MacArthur, how could I have forgotten!
Re previous days comments af also and charmers at the tennis, the most memorable picture I have in my mind was Paul Keating and Carmen Lawrence at a AFL game in Perf – may have been a Freo game.
It was at the time she was going through some corruption investigation .
Hilarious sight.

You’ve got four days left custard. And instead of admitting that you are almost certainly wrong, you’re escalating. That is, going further down the rabbit hole.
You’ve been conned and can’t admit it.

I’m not troubled by Custard’s prediction. Spirit of free, frank & open discussion, etc. etc. etc.

if its any consolation
we’ve all made squillion dollar screw-ups
if yr lucky nobody noticed
in my world I get to temper and guide the enthusiasm of experts
they specify it
then I deliver what they need rather than what they want.

What troubles me is not custard’s wrong prediction. It’s the slightly loony basis on which it was made and the fact that instead of going back to reality and recognising that he’s been had, he’s doubling down. I like him, and don’t want to see him getting progressively loopier.

I like him, and don’t want to see him getting progressively loopier.
My radar tells me that won’t happen.
I’ve spoken with Custard IRL, he’s not going to be broken by it not coming true.
Furthermore, the resident bear baiters chanting “nyah nyah nyah” at him over it isn’t going to worry him.
Anyways, the deadline ain’t yet arrived.

Do you understand the difference between being one of the world’s worst tyrants and being Russia’s worst military leader?
Putin is destroying the Ukraine (which he considers Russian) and permanently damaging Russia so he can compare himself to an Emperor.
The primary beneficiary of this mess is President Xi.

He’s got four days.
When they’re up and trump isn’t prez, what should he do? It’s not enough to shrug and say “I got it wrong.” He needs to look at the evidence and arguments he made to generate the prediction and work out which were flawed. It’s called learning from your mistakes. Failure to do this exacerbates your problems.

Who gives a flying shit if you’re troubled or not
Custard made an outlandish prediction, which is his right to speak freely. Free speech doesn’t mean it doesn’t encumber someone to take responsibility.
The only reason you’re saying that is because you made stupid comments too laced with dishonesty and don’t want to be contested. You moron.
How’s it go ? Yeah.
Heh.
It’s 7.30 pm in downtown Bhubaneswar.
The women folk are shopping in an open air market with an Indian friend of ours.
Hard bargains being struck.

If you put zero effort into describing what you are linking to, I won’t click it.
It saves me a wasted journey.
Catallaxians, do any of you have a similar policy of link scepticism?
Unless a short synopsis is supplied, no click.
Honestly I don’t know how some people have the time to read and post so much.
“Do you understand the difference between being one of the world’s worst tyrants and being Russia’s worst military leader?”
You don’t understand the difference between Putin and Stalin. And no, Putin isn’t Russia’s worse military leader and anyone with a modicum of history would know that.

“Candidate for getting put up against a wall and shot?”
As gratifying as the video of the execution of the Ceaucescus was, a firing squad is too humane and dignified.
The slow “Fargo” treatment or slow bayoneting seem closer to the mark. Conducted by the next of kin of the Vax-demised and of those who were shoved off “ordinary” waiting lists.

But as it’s human nature not to appreciate what you are given for free rather than what you have worked for, some recipients of taxpayer largesse are biting the hand that feeds them.
When you get something for nothing that’s its value.
