  1. Here’s the press release for his charges. https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/silk-road-drug-vendor-who-claimed-commit-murders-hire-silk-road-founder-ross-ulbricht
  2. These discussions always focus on brute strength but I think there are factors like reaction time that we have no idea how to gauge. Cats are basically impervious to snakes because the reaction times are so different. who knows how these animals line up in details like that.
  3. Do countries with homogenous populations have the same rural/urban divide on political beliefs, where the rural areas tend to be more conservative, and the urban areas are more liberal? I have attributed a lot of those beliefs in the US to the fact that rural/urban correlates strongly to racially homogenous vs racially diverse. If that’s the case, then you might not see the same political preference divide in countries where there isn’t that a correlation.
  4. Like WBT said, Ichiro had most of a HOF career already in Japan before he started his HOF career here. Gigantic difference. That said, Jones’s HOF case is better than I imagined based on those numbers alone.
  5. I mean, that kinda of comes with the job, doesn't it?
  6. Heh. NYT has an article today answering this very thing. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/15/movies/guy-pearce-the-brutalist.html?unlocked_article_code=1.pU4.Xz2R.uhHsbfHVGTG1&smid=url-share
  7. industry will grind to a halt!
  8. guy pearce should have had an A+ career. la confidential, memento, then just a bunch of . . . stuff. he seems cool so you can imagine him just not caring about having a brad pitt-esque career, but then he appears in a marvel movie so he wants the checks still.
  9. didn't like him, but given the current state of the world, i can only assume his replacement will be worse.
  10. Hm. Good point. They actually say in the first movie that they are about the same age.
  11. G A R B A G E every thing was the dollar store version of the first one. Every actor, every plot point, every line of dialogue.
  12. People talk about Germany’s crippling financially after WWI leading to WWII because of the economic results of various treaties and what not. Doesn’t seem that accurate to me because they were a wealthy prosperous nation in the 1920s — the Weimar Republic started and ended in financial turmoil, but the middle wasn’t at all. They just got crushed by the Great Depression.
  13. just popped up on my linkedin. not sure she really thought this through.
  14. tell him it's earth-shaped. that's even more precise.
  15. I have a friend of a friend that posts flat earth stuff on facebook. Some of the stuff is biblical in nature, which I hadn't heard of before. So after decades of hearing about flat earth stuff, I've just come to the realization that people are doing it as a defense of some religious belief.
  16. did he end up giving you the fifteen bucks?
  17. this all checks out
  18. amusing take from Texas Monthly. The theory: Briscoe is chair because the more moderate Speaker knows his incompetence will keep something from being passed.
