Picking and choosing decisions to obliterate or abide by. Got it.

It’s $6 in California; I’ve heard it’s more expensive here, too, as it is refined more and better for engine.

UFOs. If you are listening… Please help. I’m sure Vance would be a worthy human subject for repeated probing and other worthwhile experiments.

They have no idea to govern, yet they are in charge. Why do ppl vote for them?

The parrots demand crackers.

Pardon my celebration, but adding and removing bookmarks on a page is so much easier than it has been for years! Tap to add. Tap to remove. Who would’ve thunk that a simple design pattern would take so long to implement.

I’m still reading Plato… Tough with two kids, and I’m also reading Typhoid Mary by Anthony Bourdain (RIP Tony. Love you and miss you man…)

Hard no. Govern for us and not for your purse. Represent the people — not yourself.

If it discourages people running, that’s great. We don’t need them.

Other states should protest by withholding taxes, as well. United, yes?

All these years I’ve read from a Kindle I’ve never quite understood reasoning behind jailbreaking the device. Recently I looked into what DRM is and learned it is enforced by the publisher, itself, and I would think it is also based on contract agreements with author or estate, in some cases. It feels like same as music piracy in a way, but I also see the issue as I am writing this message. If you buy a book, you should be entitled to read it however you wish, however I do see the side of publisher in that you could just give the book to someone else and read it. In some ways I think this is good, and also not intended as a publisher or author, but also this is how books have been consumed for years’ prior to digital age. Book clubs, reading groups, little libraries, etc.

Discuss. I’m open to hearing more about this and views from others.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!

This is fucking terrifying. How is this not a HIPAA violation?

Edit: Fixed spelling. What can we do to protect ourselves and loved ones?!

Excellent thus far… An interesting new phase I’ve learned from book is “negative freedom” and “positive freedom,” which are both philosophical terms. In summary, negative freedom is typically what we in America refer to as freedom; obstacles are impeding our freedom and when those are clear we refer to that as freedom. Positive freedom is viewing freedom holistically without internal or external barriers.

I’ve just learned these terms and my summary may differ from those published, but I’m planning on reading more on the terms.

Highly recommend book to any fans of racing, and perhaps, of history. Fascinating read and a page turner!
