Sixclaws: that's the reason you shouldn't pay for pussy, there is a tendency to find it for free.

In publish or perish world, a question is asked, emphasis mine. And by "highly cited" we're talking hundreds and thousands of cites.

I was kind of floored when I saw this, in a way that I hope I was able to replicate in you by preceding this with the literature review above. How do you get so many highly-cited papers speaking so confidently about every little sub-sub-detail of a phenomenon, if the phenomenon never existed in the first place?

I expect to see someone trying to make counterfeit tax stamps, if they haven't already.

How to create a healthy black market. ~ I R A Darth Aggie at April 8, 2018 9:32 AM

This being California, are we really surprised that the state is taxing to death an industry that has proven to be a cash cow for other states like Washington and Colorado?

With thriving black market and a high price differential between taxed and untaxed marijuana, it's only a matter of time before California has its very own marijuana "loosie" arrest controversy.

I'm not weird. You're the one who's weird.

A few threads ago, the feminist Stanford historian, Priya Satya, came up. Here is an article she wrote about the whitesplaining of history for The Chronicle of Higher Education.

It's about what you'd expect, everyone who disagrees with her is wrong and everyone who agrees with her is doomed to be a modern-day Cassandra, always telling the truth but never believed.

100 yrs ago, more people lived to 100 than people do today in spite of access to basic public health, vaccines, and much lower child mortality -

Crid, before I forget again, thanks for recommending Angler by Gellman from whenever you did that. I finally got around to reading it and found it very satisfying for understanding Cheney.

Thanks.

Glad you liked it. It was illuminating about a lot of the personalities in that White House. (Apparently the book was a cobble of a lot of Washington Post pieces, and it reads like one.)

Gelman is liberal, but strikes me as a notably decent guy in an especially shitty town. In this interview contemporaneous with the publication, he acknowledges straightforward admiration of Cheney's skill, if not his means and purposes.

His shooting skills are not discussed.
