The downside of using a slow cooker is the house smells delicious and makes me want to snack.

I understand people’s desire to help others.
Calling 911 after driving by a person laying on the sidewalk at an underpass, and saying you could not tell if they were breathing, is not helping.
If you really care, stop and check before having Fire, Police, and EMS come lights and sirens.

Doing the math on Medicaid for all.
Right now it spends $18,900 per person per year to cover 20% of the people at $1.2 trillion (Medicare only, $1.9 trillion of Medicaid is added)
Even presuming a 50% savings, covering everyone would be $3.3 trillion a year.

Playing D&D tonight with an Army Combat Engineer who was playing a wizard.
Every encounter she would throw out caltrops, or grease, or area effects that controlled movement.
This helped us beat up all attacking monsters.
Movement control was how she thought.
Love playing with military players

25 years ago we lost a very good man.
John Perry had just passed the bar and was going to work as a defense lawyer for young people charged with drug crimes.
It was less than 9 months before I spent the night on the floor of his apartment with other friends.

Twenty five years ago today (a Sunday) my boss called me at home to cancel our planed trip to NYC to install three more servers in the co-location site three blocks from the WTC because he was sick.
We pushed it back to Thursday the 13th and would work through the weekend.

Tariffs hurt the nation that imposes them.
Yet Canada is being praised for hurting its own people by imposing tariffs on its people to retaliate against the U.S. for imposing tariffs on its people.
Canada should have retaliated by cutting its current tariffs
