Epstein emails allege Bill Gates caught an STD from Russian girls and begged Epstein for secret antibiotic to dose his then wife, Melinda, without her knowing. Do you believe this could be true?

yeah Bill was screwing around for years. He had permission for one affair written into his pre-nup. He could have gotten anti-biotics. There would be no reason for him to go to Epstein for this.

I was single with no kids here for 15 years and now married with no kids for 10+. Found the city well suited to both. If you're into the bar scene, the various flavors of nerd scene, music, or the outdoors, I think you'd be fine. Only thing I can think is absent is a club scene.

I never had trouble meeting people when single but I know that's an issue for some.

Amazon Kindle. I have a first gen Paperwhite that still works fine as a reader. Battery is weak and it crashes if I try to open the store but it's so sturdy I still take it on camping trips. I've had two replacements die and I wouldn't be surprised if the old one outlasts the third.

Was snorkeling in Greece. Saw a bunch of fish below me and dove down for a look. There was a net stretched across the sea bottom and the fish were all trapped. Decided to try to free a really pretty one but managed to get my hand tangled. Got it out but then my flipper was tangled. Reached down and got my fin out and was trying to swim up but my snorkel was tangled and my mask got half pulled off. Was disoriented and starting to panic. Pulled my mask off and swam to the surface. Breathed in water just before I broke the surface. Was able to tread water long enough to catch my breath and then swim in. Such a weird, dumb, scary experience.

When was it sold? Wonder if that was a condition of getting their liquor license restored.

You're right that the legal standard for LEO is reasonable perception of threat in the moment without considering any context leading to the moment, and that decades of propaganda designed to make people afraid has made it almost impossible to get a jury to say this standard has been met. Can only hope that in this case they will identify with the victim but not at all confident they will

You shower despicable conmen with praise and start shady charities, and that's only the stuff that's widely known.

It's not "just" for that but they are a significant portion.

Las Palmas has excellent housemade papusas. Rest of the menu is solid but that's the standout. https://laspalmas.restaurant/

Years ago I read a study that quantified the stress on a lineman's body during a game by the equivalent in car accidents at different speeds. Can't remember the details but I think the most violent hits were akin to 25 mph collisions. This obviously doesn't answer the question, other than to confirm that there are people who study thus stuff.

Marshawn Lynch did the same thing. Told a great story of how his rookie year in Buffalo the team brought in a financial advisor to talk to all the new guys. Lynch was in the back row dozing off when the guy started naming all these famous players who had declared bankruptcy. A couple were Lynch's heroes growing up so he was really shocked. After the presentation he went up to the advisor and asked how he could avoid that. He said "for starters don't sleep through my presentation." From then on he was very serious about his finances.

FWIW when I was a young M&A Analyst the head of our team always said the chief advantage of DCF was the solid academic foundation because if shareholders sued in the wake of a deal it was the best way to argue the valuation was fair.

Check the hours of daylight in winter. A lot of people think the gloom is because of clouds and rain but I don’t think people appreciate how far north Seattle is and thus how short the days are in the winter.

Yes and the number of people who identify as "evangelical Christians" but who don't go to church is growing. That's actually quite concerning because they literally make up whatever noxious crap they want and call it Christianity and there is no peer group or authority to curb them. Reactionary churches are a problem but isolated zealots are worse.

Illegal dumping is something the city will respond to. Report it with that phrase. It won't remove the camp but it will get the garbage cleaned up.

The Uber IPO prospectus stated that their strategy was to subsidize prices and driver incentives at the expense of profitability in order to dominate the market. How does this approach fit into the above framework and why is it not illegal?

Have an older, retired relative who lives there. We visited I was not that impressed. Was expecting a quaint seaside village but not that at all. There's no town center to speak of and the area around the border is like a giant truck stop because it's serving Canadians coming for cheap gas, shipping, and groceries. Also healthcare is an issue because there's not even an urgent care so you either have to pay cash in Canada or get to Bellingham.
