Recovering academic now in public safety. You’ll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.

DrBob,

You are missing the subtleties of this presentation that goes well beyond a histogram. This is a very nice layout that shows variability by month and decade.

DrBob,

One useful function for AI would be to watch YouTube videos and extract any useful information into concise paragraphs. I am looking to be informed, not entertained.

DrBob,

I am saying I am not watching the video. I would prefer a tight paragraph or two about whatever the videographer thinks are the extraordinary circumstances.

DrBob,

Doing God’s work.

DrBob,

This is a really interesting visualization. I love the density of the data and the way it captures the year over year variability by month while allowing the annual variability to plainly stand out. This is really good.

DrBob,

There are layers of variability there that can’t be captured with a line plot. The data density is too high to even capture the decanal progression in a useful way, forget about monthly and annual variability . So no.

DrBob,

Waiting for those fuckers to retire? You bet.

DrBob,

My Leslie Nielsen.

Sticks and stones can break my bones, But names can never hurt me.

DrBob,

Michael Cohen got 3 years for his part in the scheme.

DrBob,

Because sessional teaching for $4000 a course is a great way to make a living. I mean a 5 course load could move you close to the poverty line!

DrBob,

If they said that, they’re wrong. There are very limited circumstances that allow an appeal to the 11th circuit and she hasn’t tripped those wires yet…mostly by not issuing rulings. Scheduling is not an appealable matter.

DrBob,

According to the crowd at Lawfare not one single day has tolled on the speedy trial clock. So while you are correct in the abstract, we aren’t close to the trigger point for that to occur.

DrBob,

Jack Smith was pressing for a speedy trial arguing that it’s the right of the people to see justice done equally as much as it’s a right of the defendant. We see how well that’s worked out.

DrBob,

It’s not for either of those things. It’s for cooking the books to hide the transaction. Falsifying financial records is the crime. And it would be a misdemeanor except that it was done to further a conspiracy to defraud the public which makes it a felony. It’s not a crime to drive, but it is if it’s a getaway car.

DrBob,

He committed a criminal act to hide the source of the funds. He could have just paid her out of pocket and not told anyone. No crime then.

John Mark Dougan, former marine and police officer, now living in Russia to evade criminal charges (sh.itjust.works)

Dougan, a former Marine and police officer, fled his home in Florida in 2016 to evade criminal charges related to a massive doxxing campaign he was accused of launching against public officials and was given asylum by the Russian government. Most recently, Dougan has posed as a journalist in Ukraine’s Donbas region, testifying...

DrBob,

Incorrect. A useful idiot is someone who doesn’t understand the impact/outcome of their actions. A foreign agent doesn’t need to turn/trick/recruit an actor because the idiot is already doing the subversive work for nothing. A small amount of money or encouragement goes a long way with idiots. An example …does anyone else remember the “Hillary is 44” movement after she lost the nomination to Obama?

DrBob,

Oh lord. The first time I ever heard them was a New Year’s Eve in Toronto at…Club Blitz? #old

A burger being "100% Beef" is not a good thing

My whole life I’ve always hated burgers that you get from fast food/restaurants. It’s just a bland beef patty with a bunch of toppings that make it a pain to eat. These places advertise their burgers as being “100% Angus Beef!” or whatever, like that makes it appetizing… Why is this the norm? Do people just not know...

DrBob,

Chuck is a cut of beef. You can grind a chuck roast from Angus beef.

DrBob,

It’s all ithe wrist.

DrBob,

Could be. I think chuck is about 20% fat as a baseline. So if you see a lighter mix they’ve added something meaty to it. When I did a butchers course out of curiosity a few years ago, the instructor kept a tub of “grind” which was all the trimmings from all the quarters and primals.

DrBob,

Cue the graphic comparing proboscis monkeys to Disney characters.

It is not allowed. See Tom Waits vs. Frito Lay. Vocal timbre is considered to part of a celebrities’ “likeness” and reproducing it to imply endorsement will get you landed in court. ScarJo is a huge Tom Waits fan so she knows the story.

DrBob, (edited )

Lol. You should read the reviews of the album. They are decidedly …mixed. Everyone seems to agree that it wasn’t your typical Hollywood vanity project - she took it seriously as an artistic endeavour.

That having been said her singing voice is freakishly low and the mixing is muddy and obscuring. It shows something that can’t be immediately dismissed, but the poor execution doesn’t allow you to grasp exactly what that spark might be.

It’s worth listening to once.

DrBob,

It seems credible to me. 🤔
