I both marvel at the human brain and at what idiots we can be.

Apparently, the burglar put it on the file cabinet right next to my desk chair so when I put my dog's bed up there she'd be that much comfier. (I'm sure this concern is first and foremost in the mind of every person who breaks into someone's home.)

baaaack!
How come the proudly-maskless never get all goofy and don't-tread-on-me about having to wash their hands? Why aren't germ-dripping mitts a part of being a courageous, free-living American?
Do the really militant ones follow each other into the bathroom to pee and then mock the timid types as submissive cucks for cleaning up with generous soap and warm water?

Portlandia is going to get their government good and hard.

Amy, I found evidence on YouTube (where else, of course?) supporting your burglary experience.

Hope you get a good laugh out of these.

Not a link, but an observation: if you don't think that the FDA, food handling procedures and the education of businesses thereof has a place, just go look at one program, "The Food That Built America".
Turns out Henry Heinz had the first mass production line, the first electrified factory and was the first to insist that product advertisement be truthful. Competitors - dozens of them - were undercutting him in price by using poisonous ingredients. Now they can't, by law.
The show is also a potent argument against socialism. No, Obama, government didn't build that.

Everyone's on edge… The tensions in the more rural regions of our nation are starting to boil over.
(I used to work that market— It's the Ozarks.)

A fun list from a woman who learned a lot from poker:
When you're seeking feedback from others, exercise good decision hygiene in the following ways:Quarantine others from your opinions and beliefs when asking for feedback.
Frame your request for feedback in a neutral fashion, to keep from signaling your conclusions.
Quarantine others from outcomes when asking about past decisions.
If you're asking for feedback involving multiple outcomes, iterate the feedback.
Explain the form of the output you're seeking.
Prior to being in the midst of a decision, make a checklist of the facts and relevant information you would need to provide feedback for such a decision.
Have the people seeking and giving feedback agree to be accountable to provide all the relevant information, asking for anything that has not been provided, and refusing to give feedback if the person seeking feedback can't provide relevant information.
When you're involved in a group setting, exercise the following additional forms of hygiene:
Solicit feedback independently, before a group discussion or before members express their views to one another.
Anonymize the sources of the views and distribute a compilation to group members for review, in advance of group meetings or discussion.

Crid, the first link doesn't work.

Crid, sounds like a checklist for correctly applying the scientific method to a problem.
Don’t let the desired outcome contaminate both the data and the decision matrix.

Sorry— Second wave of Covid.

Not surprised she's from a family of achievers. Listen to her 'Batman origin story' beginning at about 19:30 in this podcast… A youthful humbling from a master in the field followed by a long period of stoic growth.
I'll check the links before posting this one......
