  • I have no idea what’s supported where, but the client I use doesn’t do anything with the ^[text] markup. It expects ^text^

    Fingers crossed this actually renders correctly 🤞

  • Sanders: Supreme Court Is “Out of Control” and Must Be Reformed
  • None of this addresses my point. There isn’t the political power to do it.

    And even if there was, the court has already essentially overturned precedent as a concept. That can’t just be rolled back without completely reworking the court, which…see my first point…

  • Sanders: Supreme Court Is “Out of Control” and Must Be Reformed
  • …if a sane court is built around them by leaders with enough spine

    Lack of spine isn’t the issue. It’s lack of political power.

    And even then what would the new court do? If they go back to operating the way they did before this judicial coup, that wouldn’t actually fix any of the damage done. Or remove the traitor sitting on the SCOTUS.

    Joe Biden say he "almost fell asleep" on debate stage
  • lol - I’m not the one who deleted and replaced my entire comment.

    I purposely left the part you complained about so people could see the context.

    And the point I made was it didn’t matter the difference in word choice. The original point still stands; “Coerce” or “convince”.

    TL;DR: Inshore commercial shrimp trawling is devastating our marine fisheries by causing by-catch (untargeted marine animals trapped and killed in the nets) at a rate of 4 to 1 by weight.

    North Carolina is the only state that still allows inshore shrimp trawling.

    Here’s what the North Carolina Wildlife Federation has to say on the topic. It bugs me that they’re framing it as the loss of recreational flounder fishing being the primary consequence, but I suppose whatever brings more attention to the issue is a good thing.

    The NC Wildlife Commission is holding a meeting Tonight at 7:00pm at the New Bern Community College

    When does investing become gambling?

    Is there a hard threshold? Do high risk investments such as penny stocks qualify as gambling? Do low risk investments? Annuities? Bonds? CDs?

    This comment got me wondering.

    Is it more to do with the venue? Stock markets and real estate vs casinos and the lottery?

    Were the MIT Blackjack Team gambling or investing?

    Or Jerry and Marge Selbee?

    Is this just another semantic hotdogs are sandwiches discussion or is there an agreed threshold?

    Contestant Generations by Season

    I finally got caught up on season 46. After stumbling on a discussion on /r/survivor about generational1 participation and play styles I decided to waste a whole bunch of time and pulled together some data2. I thought it was interesting and thought I’d share.

    ---

    Number of contestants by generation by season

    | Season | Gen Z | Millennials | Gen X | Boomers | Silent | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | 0 | 0 | 10 | 3 | 3 | | 2 | 0 | 0 | 10 | 6 | 0 | | 3 | 0 | 0 | 8 | 7 | 1 | | 4 | 0 | 1 | 10 | 4 | 1 | | 5 | 0 | 0 | 11 | 4 | 1 | | 6 | 0 | 1 | 11 | 4 | 0 | | 7 | 0 | 3 | 9 | 4 | 0 | | 8 | 0 | 1 | 9 | 7 | 1 | | 9 | 0 | 3 | 11 | 3 | 1 | | 10 | 0 | 6 | 10 | 4 | 0 | | 11 | 0 | 9 | 5 | 3 | 1 | | 12 | 0 | 5 | 6 | 5 | 0 | | 13 | 0 | 4 | 13 | 3 | 0 | | 14 | 0 | 4 | 11 | 4 | 0 | | 15 | 0 | 7 | 8 | 1 | 0 | | 16 | 0 | 7 | 8 | 5 | 0 | | 17 | 0 | 8 | 6 | 4 | 0 | | 18 | 0 | 7 | 6 | 3 | 0 | | 19 | 0 | 10 | 7 | 3 | 0 | | 20 | 0 | 7 | 10 | 3 | 0 | | 21 | 0 | 8 | 6 | 5 | 1 | | 22 | 0 | 7 | 7 | 4 | 0 | | 23 | 0 | 10 | 6 | 2 | 0 | | 24 | 0 | 11 | 4 | 3 | 0 | | 25 | 0 | 11 | 3 | 4 | 0 | | 26 | 0 | 13 | 6 | 1 | 0 | | 27 | 0 | 12 | 6 | 2 | 0 | | 28 | 0 | 8 | 10 | 0 | 0 | | 29 | 0 | 12 | 4 | 2 | 0 | | 30 | 0 | 11 | 6 | 1 | 0 | | 31 | 0 | 9 | 8 | 3 | 0 | | 32 | 1 | 11 | 4 | 1 | 1 | | 33 | 1 | 10 | 8 | 1 | 0 | | 34 | 0 | 12 | 6 | 2 | 0 | | 35 | 0 | 15 | 3 | 0 | 0 | | 36 | 4 | 13 | 3 | 0 | 0 | | 37 | 1 | 14 | 4 | 1 | 0 | | 38 | 4 | 10 | 4 | 0 | 0 | | 39 | 2 | 14 | 2 | 2 | 0 | | 40 | 0 | 11 | 9 | 0 | 0 | | 41 | 6 | 7 | 5 | 0 | 0 | | 42 | 5 | 8 | 4 | 1 | 0 | | 43 | 6 | 10 | 2 | 0 | 0 | | 44 | 6 | 9 | 3 | 0 | 0 | | 45 | 9 | 7 | 2 | 0 | 0 | | 46 | 7 | 10 | 1 | 0 | 0 |

    1 Generations are arbitrary, inconsistent, and ill defined. I used USCs definitions 3 for no particular reason other than I had to pick something

    2 A contestant is counted for each appearance in a season at the age of their appearance in each season. Contestant’s generation was determined by <Year of Filming> minus <Age>. Age and Filming dates were sourced from Wikipedia

    President Biden is the First President Elected From The Silent Generation

    This is kinda blowing my mind right now.

    I know generation bounds can be inconsistent, but I’m using this as the guideline:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation#List_of_social_generations

    That puts Clinton, W, Obama, and Trump all as Baby Boomers and Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, and HW all as Greatest Generation.

    Could a link to the modlog for moderated posts be added here?

    I’m often curious what has happened but not frequently enough to know offhand how to get to the modlog or filter it to find the post in question.

    Having a direct link here would be awesome but I’m not sure how feasible it would be, if at all…
