re: #237 Hecuba’s daughter
Christie was knowledgeable, competent, not boring, and a total jerk. But he would have handled Covid before it became a pandemic and there may have been few deaths worldwide under his administration.
Edited — accidentally posted before I typed my message.
Christie was basically trying for the position in the pack that Trump ultimately took of “the bully who gets shit done.” That he was a “dealmaker” with a track record of getting Dems to agree to follow him on various laws and initiatives. And that the folks of his state were (at worst) of the “he might be a bastard, but he’s our bastard” mentality.
I think it’s important to emphasize that DOJ would present evidence to a grand jury of US citizens who would then decide whether or not to indict Donald Trump based on the law and evidence. Merrick Garland wouldn’t indict anyone. A jury would.

Both Trump and Christie are bullies; but Christie had real government experience, was not in it for accumulating wealth, and was not a traitor, at least not then. (Actually, I don’t think any of the other GOP candidates that year were traitors loyal to Putin, though Lindsey would likely be a blackmail target.)

re: #177 Teddy’s Person
When I lived in DC and worked for the government, carpooling was huge. I don’t know how the system got set up. There were places in the burbs where you could pick up a carpool and specific places in DC where these carpools got dropped off. Most people carpooled in organized carpools. If you missed your carpool or is wasn’t running on a specific day, you could go to a designated pick up spot and get a ride into DC.
I remember talking to a co-worker who carpooled from VA south of DC. Her carpool wasn’t running one day so she went to the Springfield Mall and found a carpool that needed a rider who would drop off near our office.
This was all well organized in the early-mid 1990s. I suspect they use existing social media these days.

But the mailing list seems to pride itself on finding interesting recipe names. So this one appeared on that list. But this one is apparently a traditional recipe and name.

To quote the Wesley Lowery interview Froomkin talks about:
[T]he mainstream has allowed what it considers objective truth to be decided almost exclusively by white reporters and their mostly white bosses. And those selective truths have been calibrated to avoid offending the sensibilities of white readers.
So when reality has a well-known liberal bias, one must reject reality to remain ‘nonpartisan’. Oh, and calling this shit out is hurting journalism because reporters’ fee fees are hurt on Twitter. You know, the thing that was supposed to replace the public editor’s function way back when?

re: #76 wrenchwench
This sentence shows a faulty default assumption, in the way it’s worded, or perhaps that’s just going along:
Scientists working on the site have sequenced the DNA for several of the individuals—that’s how they figured out that two of the crania were female.
I read it as the DNA sequencing results lacked any paternal haploids, which would indicate the skulls were female.
The Ector County Utility District, which provides water to West Odessa and rural Ector County, says they hope to have the water back on tomorrow afternoon.

I defer to your greater background of knowledge. I went looking, and found my own was deficient.
re: #85 wrenchwench
The presumption is that no Y chromosome means female. Which is true in almost all cases, though in modern times we know that in rare cases phenotypes may be different than genotypes.

That looks an awful lot like JP Sears, a guy who got started on YouTube by mocking Noo Wagers (New Age people), but who over the years has discovered the grift is much better. He’s now a full on whackjob, anti-vaxxer, TERF, etc. etc. Given where he’s at now, yeah, I could see it. EEK.

Implementing plan to reduce emissions by 50 to 52 percent by 2030 from 2005 levels

re: #92 jaunte
It may sound like a lot… because TFG was so bad.
But substantive change is not about paper claims.
In reality, global CO2 emissions just keep on chugging along.
And US carbon output will only go down as we replace coal electricity-generation with renewables, and replace the internal combustion engine with electric motors.

From the EPA, thirty years of greenhouse gas emissions:
Note that transportation emissions have increased over that time, even with all the electric vehicles. And the 2020 downturn is from the pandemic. Once 2022 data is in the data will certainly show an increase in transportation emissions again.
The only progress has been in electrical generation and industrial emissions.

Evidence that Federalist Society judges appointed in recent years are becoming increasingly hostile to democracy and probably election deniers. This is a disgrace. If a Republican becomes President in the near future, our judicial system will be full on run by Nazis

I think the most technically feasible and politically unfeasible way to have an immediate reduction in transportation emissions is a decrease in human transportation. Exceptions for human-powered vehicles and trains.

As the environment becomes more friendly to diseases that reduce the human population, we’ll see that decrease.
as I’ve noted before… the Plague was a horrible time to be in Europe. Dreadful for the people who lived through those years, and for those who didn’t.
But 100 years later, the continent and its countries and people, were much better off for it having happened.
I guess I question whether anyone who signs on to the re-election campaign of a justifiably impeached President has earned the right to declare membership on Team Normal.

Companies often have very loose practices when it comes to distributing sensitive information. Consultants would create Excel workbooks with SS#, birth dates, names, addresses — and then send it to others outside their team to help resolve Excel issues they encountered.

I guess they weren’t getting the weekly reminders of the rules imposed by the GPDR like I do.
