went to a clothing swap on Saturday, got soused on white wine and rad lady company, then went to a great show where I avoided an unfortunate run-in with a guy I dated last year, then made my way to a dance party where I realized too late that I was disgracefully trashed and yet emboldened into a "fuck it" attitude found myself chatting with a delightful gentleman who I not only kissed but then allowed him to drive me home, where he saw me safely inside, used my bathroom, took my number, and left me to unceremoniously puke and pass out in the privacy of my own home. but wait, there's more...
- t-ra: confounded
the next day while laid out with the worst hangover I can recall having in years, the guy actually messages me. we have a delightfully funny and mutually self-effacing text exchange, so I invite him to be my date for a party that night and he accepts. By evening I've mostly recovered, manage to make myself reasonably presentable, make my way downtown to retrieve my bike from where I'd left it the night before (called my Dad along the way b/c I am a good daughter), and said guy actually shows up.
- t-ra: confounded
he is cuter than I remember, engaging and easy to be around, plus doesn't seem uncomfortable with the fact that the other folks are plainly curious about the strange person I've brought with me (which I warned him might happen b/c I am a thoughtful person). We talk for a few hours until he has to beg off for an early morning, I want to mingle with my friends by then anyhow, so I walk him to his car for a good night kiss then return to the party for some dancing before rolling home with a silly grin.
- t-ra: confounded
Sounds great!
- Spidra Webster
it is bizarre and so very awesome that nothing terrible happened. I very rarely let my guard down like that, to let a stranger take me home and come into my house while I'm pretty much rendered defenseless by enebriation? no way. but I did for some reason, and somehow he didn't turn out to be a dangeorus person, and in fact quite the opposite, so my brain is having a difficult time processing a series of events that I would normally consider impossible. next up: I stumble upon a herd of unicorns.

If you think about it, Native Americans aren't really a homogenous, essentializable group of people, anymore than Asians, Europeans, or Africans are. And yet….

Seems to me every one of those groups views most of the others as large homogenous groups, actually.
- Andrew C (✓)
I think a large amount depends on where you grow up, and how many different distinct groups you are in contact with on a regular basis. I mean, around here, you have to work hard at assuming that tribes are the same. Not to say that people don't - racism is alive and well - but it is a very deliberate ignorance at that point.

Don't a lot of white people also view themselves as a homogeneous group as well?

China has being building vacant cities to maintain their productivity numbers for years, it was only a matter of time.
- Jimminy
Heh, yeah, well "it's only a matter of time" is not actionable knowledge. "Could shock the global economy within six months," may be.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
It's certainly actionable if you can gauge and monitor it. Knowing there is an issue is the first and biggest step of the battle.
- Jimminy
No, not really. Often in investing, knowing that something may happen down the line will cost you big time while you wait for it to happen. Sometimes more knowledge doesn't equate to better outcomes.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Or you could be like 90% of America in 2008, even though we were broadcasting the information necessary to monitor the situation since 2005. You completely skipped over the fact that a matter of time, means it's likely to happen, but the situation needs to be monitored. You can make decisions on a quarterly, biquarterly, annual, or longer-term based on what you know and can observe. If you observe nothing, you're blind and can't orient yourself.
- Jimminy
Yeah, well "buy and hold" is marketed to mainstream investors about as well as "pay 2 to 3 times monthly salary on a diamond ring" is to prospective suitors.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
And if you observe the wrong things, you are acting on false information. There are lots of ways to screw up investing. I should know. I've done most of them. And few ways to win.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Well, when you're watching countless cities being built with noone to work or live in them, and several countries are accusing you of monetary manipulation; I doubt those signals are false information. I personally wouldn't trade on a rumor without looking into it.
- Jimminy
You might be smarter than the markets, Jimminy, but I have learned that I am not. If you looked at China in 2009 and thought that bad things were going to happen to the global economy, you would have lost out (as I did) on significant gains that followed. In other words, it's the opposite of actionable knowledge.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
I'm certainly not smarter than the markets. No, you can know something bad's going to happen somewhere, but still be bullish on sectors. In 2010-2011 I could definitely see investing in component manufacturers. China as a whole, you avoid, but there are, even now, diamonds to be found. I prefer to focus on how well a stock will likely look 1 year from now. There are periods in between...

Alex, I wasn't thrilled with the fundamentals, but It looked like it was at least break-even after the yield (ATT 18%). Then again, it was just a little to fill left over allotment; 305 in, current value 190, so down 37%. Overall impact on the portfolio -0.57%

Americans Sent Over a Hundred Million Father’s Day Messages, Says N.S.A. - http://www.newyorker.com/online...
Joe Silence, Me, Greg GuitarBuster and 2 other people liked this
"Americans sent over a hundred million Father’s Day messages on Sunday, the National Security Agency reported today. The hundred-million number, while robust, falls short of the hundred and twenty million Mother’s Day messages collected by the N.S.A. in May. The difference between the two figures is “not surprising,” said N.S.A. director General Keith B. Alexander. He added, “On the whole, mothers take Mother’s Day more seriously—if the e-mails we read by mothers whose children forgot are any indication.” General Alexander said that the agency collected in the neighborhood of two to three million such e-mails from angry mothers this year. The N.S.A. director added that the agency had not foiled any terror plots over the weekend but did uncover between thirty and forty thousand extramarital relationships."

Through a surprise amphibious assault far from the Pusan Perimeter that UN and South Korean forces were desperately defending, the largely undefended city of Incheon was secured after being bombed by UN forces. The battle ended a string of victories by the invading North Korean People's Army (NKPA).

"Why? Well given that the volume of the universe is infinite there must be an infinite number of worlds. But not all of them are populated; therefore only a finite number are. Any finite number divided by infinity is as close to zero as makes no odds, therefore we can round the average population of the Universe to zero, and so the total population must be zero."

Wait... that multiplication is odd. You're taking 0 (avg of population) times infinity (size of the universe) and that equals to 0? (Total population). Since the avg is a round to 0, not exactly 0, multiplying that by infinity gives a non-zero value, no?

It's supposed to be a division by infinity, not a multiplication. It's also a quote from *The Restaurant at the End of the Universe*, and math performed inside an eating establishment follows alternative rules, so there's probably a lot of error ;)

Skip James' Hard Time Killing Floor Blues - http://www.metafilter.com/129127...
WarLord liked this
...James is, of course, overshadowed by the most famous bluesman of them all: Robert Johnson... Few can resist the legend that he sold his soul to the devil, was poisoned by a jealous lover, and died a young genius's death... Skip James' mythos is less compact than Johnson's. James survived his misspent youth, and the story of his later years provides plenty more of the kind of misery that fueled his music. Where Johnson supposedly cut a single, grand deal with the devil—trading his soul for mastery of his form—Skip James seems to have struck deal after deal and never come out ahead. In a way, James' story is the truest story of the blues: He led an open wound of a life, and all he got for it was minor-league, post-mortem stardom.Skip James' Hard Time Killing Floor Blues See also Mississippi John Hurt & Skip James on WTBS-FM 1964 Skip James - Devil Got My Woman Skip James - Worried Blues Skip James - I'm So Glad
