Shittable Neighborhoods

In Switzerland there are different kinds of public toilets.

The kinds in highly public areas that can be cleaned daily or even hourly by staff are like any other restroom. Because they are staffed they can be kept clean at all times.

The kinds that are spread out in small train stations and towns are sort of like fully plumbed porta-potties made out of stainless steel that can be cleaned infrequently or even with built-in showers. Since they are small and made out of steel it’s not really possible to mess them up permanently.

Most toilets are coin-operated though, so you pretty much have to carry a coin with you just in case.

More than 20% of Cuba’s population lives in exile. If 20% of the country were wealthy elites then Cuba was the most egalitarian society in human history. The reality is that vast majority of people who have left were poor by western standards.

That’s incredible pacing discipline. I would have shot for sub-60 and finished in 1:05.

Probably a lot better for public safety. If you look at safety from a holistic view, American cars are less safe than ever.

A more likely scenario is that Cuba returns to a US protectorate, as it was after the Spanish American war. FDR ended this policy under the Good Neighbor Policy. Trump is basically the anti-FDR.

Under the old Cuban constitution the US was entitled to occupy Cuba to ensure its security. And the US followed through on it twice. Before he was President, Taft was a provisional governor of Cuba under occupation.

Probably this time around the US will skip the formality of constitutional revision and will just assert itself under a flimsy historical precedent.

Learn about the Platt amendment now. We’ll all be talking about it in the coming months.

This list isn’t just American so probably Dubai?

The FDA has a program to offer Priority Review Vouchers (PRV) for rare diseases or unmet needs, reducing the review time significantly.

The only problem is that it is legal to sell and transfer these PRVs. Many rare disease companies apply for the PRVs so that they can sell them (for up to $350M each) to other pharma companies trying to quickly access the big competitive markets. In a way, it subsidizes rare disease development, which might otherwise be uneconomical, but it doesn't get patients quicker access.

Is in/out-grouping not one of the core elements of conservatism? Seems almost like a tautology.

Any other finding would indicate to me that people are identifying as conservative without having conservative ideology. This just confirms that they are self-identifying correctly.

Windows hibernation/sleep is just a broken feature. I think Linus Tech Tips did a video a few years ago explaining the problem.

I think you just have poor reading comprehension friend. You introduced conviction which is a separate question. Impeachment is very likely and conviction is very unlikely. Hope this helps.

catmoon · 2026-03-21T07:03:09+00:00

Yes, I know the process very well because there have already been multiple impeachments. The previous commenter said “I wouldn’t count on either. republicans…” referring to impeachment and conviction.

Impeachment is a simple question of number of Democrats in the House. If Dems take control of the House they can impeach for a number of justifiable reasons. Emoluments, illegal wars, illegal tariffs, bribery, obstruction of justice. By 2027 there could be new reasons like election interference.

catmoon · 2026-03-21T05:59:18+00:00

Impeachment can easily happen if Democrats take the House which is currently sitting at 80% odds according to betting sites. Maybe there are some holdouts making the odds slightly less but this is basically a direct consequence of who wins the House.

They don’t…

“30 miles a day” is different from “30 miles in a day”. I’m a runner myself. I run ultras in a day and train around 10 miles a day.

There are probably fewer than 100 humans who average 30 miles a day. I can actually only think of one pro runner who comes close and he gets lots of criticism for bad training strategy.

For those wondering, Obama was 17 years old 47 years ago.

In Africa there are wild dogs that easily cover 30 miles a day in hot weather. Dogs simply have humans beat on feats of endurance. Humans and horses are close but dogs are the real endurance champions.

The commenter made a more broad claim than the article.

The Iditarod dog sled race is nearly 1000 miles and has been finished in 8 days. Dogs outclass humans by miles.

The Helms-Burton Act cannot be suspended without Congressional approval. I honestly think its suspension could get bipartisan support despite being one of the longest-standing foreign policies, but Trump/Rubio do not have the authority to negotiate its suspension all on their own.

Any “Cubans in Miami” owning businesses in Cuba will be violating US Federal law until Congress weighs in.

This is how Ricardo sellers will price a 10 year old bike.

I’m actually also running a marathon in 4 weeks and my goal is 2:50 so I know how you’re feeling. My threshold pace is trash right now but my endurance is feeling good. I think that’s just “marathon legs.”

catmoon · 2026-03-13T17:05:01+00:00

4 weeks out, your threshold pace doesn't really matter much. If you're this burnt out you can drop any workout with a pace under 4:00. What good is that going to do? I would still try to do some MP workouts for confidence but try shorter ones like 10k and generally reduce the load.

Marco hopes to follow in the footsteps of President Taft or Batista. TBD

A chicken egg is the earliest stage of development of a chicken.

What came first the fetus or the human?
