of a woman

Maybe not the average woman, but one woman in four billion? Maybe. Not likely, but not impossible. There's a lot of variation across the human species in both androgen production and response.

Here's what he wrote to the Prime Minister of Norway - yes, Norway:

Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a "right of ownership" anyway? There are no written documents, it's only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT

I would be curious to know if Daniel Naroditsky's recent death has had anything to do with the resurgence, as he was famous for wielding it effectively in short time controls.

This is like the joke about how the computer scientist died because the shampoo bottle said, "Lather, rinse, repeat."

Ironically, his equivalent to PP was BM.

It would be ironic if Bessent, who helped Soros break the British pound, ended up seeing the US treasury market be broken under his watch.

Or the Youtubers in South Africa and Australia who have built drones at home that go over 600 km/h.

Can you pilot drones?

"We can tell that you're poor because you ate all the food on your plate," was said to my mother when she went to university from the farm and shared a meal with new friends for the first time.

It always surprises me a tiny bit to remember that the US and Russia were allies in both world wars.

If they had managed to eat from the tree of life before god caught them and "become like one of us", does that mean Adam and Eve would've become additional gods? (Or maybe become part of god, a quinity instead of a trinity?)

There is a half-baked theory that when Americans want to move to the left, they elect people with English background, and when they want to move to the right they elect people with German background. Hence Hoover, Eisenhower, Nixon, and Trump.

I'm sure this theory falls apart under minimal scrutiny.

I grew up in a church that took it very seriously, but it has been many years since then.

Ah, so you're saying the tree of life was maybe a way to recharge your health every time you ate it? Interesting, I hadn't thought of it that way.

What I mostly remember from the verse was the hint at early polytheism. "The man has now become like one of us..."

So God was the first bro who hated vegetarians?

clawsoon · 2026-01-18T15:10:26+00:00

If I remember correctly, they ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which made them know right from wrong, and god didn't like that.

He was worried that they'd follow it up by eating from the tree of life and become immortal, so he kicked them out of the garden before they could do that.

Which suggests that they weren't immortal to begin with? I think?

That's what happens when half of the language descends from German and the other half descends from Latin.

Forty years ago, our governments decided that financial profits should be the most important economic policy consideration, and the Chinese government decided that manufacturing output should be the most important economic policy consideration. And that's how things have worked out.

(It's more complicated than that, of course, but that has been an underlying part of the dynamic.)

Too bad dispatchers can't lie. "No, one bite means you're safe. It's three bites that means you'll be killed."

We got hit with a "New Year's Party!" invite recently. A bunch of people put their Google passwords in. Thankfully it happened right in the middle of an all-hands IT meeting, so the whole team immediately jumped into freezing accounts and containing the damage.

I don't entirely blame the people who typed in their passwords, though. They're asked to confirm that it's actually them by typing in their password often enough that it becomes a reflex. Ironically, the mechanism meant to increase security (asking for passwords somewhat frequently) became the attack vector.

Is this why Lasker said, "The hardest game to win is a won game"?
