LOL - I've noticed the same thing. I remember reading an account of Alexander's time in what is now Afghanistan; the Greeks who wrote about it complained that it was easy to control the cities, but that all the tribesman hid out in the mountains and attacked them constantly whenever they ventured outside the walls - and that overall, it was a worthless place not worthy of the effort it took to keep it. 2300 years and nothing has changed.

126 Viewing this painting, my eye naturally starts at the left edge, at the apex of the triangle of light. Traversing from left to right I take in the dark-skinned people, all with their backs turned toward the viewer, as if shutting us out. The scene then opens up as the viewer scans across toward the right, forcing him to symbolically "reflect" on his own assumptions. As the left to right sweep reaches the extreme right edge of the scene, oh my god is that a giant penis???

There was this youtube series called something like grandpa's kitchen. It was a cooking show where this older indian dude would cook for about a hundred kids. Gigantic meals. Like a twelve-foot diameter pizza, or a truck full of fried chicken. He died and then his grandkids took over. It was fun to watch how they would make these absolutely huge meals and then the look on the faces of the happy kids when the food was ready.

I felt so bad for him as he sadly told me the story. I told him "it's just some ignorant asshole kids. Most of us are not like that."

You should look up the story of the 1919 Amritsar Massacre, if you want to see the point when the Brit's completely jumped the shark in India. Oh they held on for almost another 30 years after that, but that was just due to the disunity of India's home grown "leadership". That incident is the backdrop to what made Gandhi so successful.

Same reason so many Hindus own motels, or Albanians are cab drivers, or Sicilians (used to be) mobsters.

Haragrawalalepillar comes to America, gets a job as a cabbie. His brother comes over and Harry (as he's now known) gets him hired on at the cab company. Pretty soon all the cabbies in that city are from Harry's homeland, and Harry owns the company.

Oh they held on for almost another 30 years after that, but that was just due to the disunity of India's home grown "leadership". That incident is the backdrop to what made Gandhi so successful.

The Sikh Golden Temple in Amritsar was also the scene of a bloody 1984 attack by Indian armed forces on Sikh separatists who had occupied it.

278 I'm far more inclined to trust Musk's "super bad feeling" than Yellen's graphs and charts.

One is an expert, so she's guaranteed to be maliciously, knowingly wrong.

Now, the choice between Musk and a random name in the phone book is a much closer affair, but both will be right.

281 The GA vote machines are totes accurate!

On Wednesday evening, the results of the hand count were released, showing former last-place candidate Spears now in first place and headed to a June 21 runoff against Alexander. Former first place candidate Orson was pushed to third place.

Spears gained about 2,600 votes from the original tally, while Alexander gained a few hundred, the Journal-Constitution reported. Orson lost about 1,600 votes from the original results.

Part of it is simply his age and my study of history. Old people don't usually lead historical changes. Trump has a very youthful energy, but history suggests that young leaders are where the action is. There is a place for a wise savvy veteran, but it may not be front and center.

Trump = Franklin

Posted by: Lithiated gp

The same is true for salesmen, analysts, accountants, and many more positions. Just the lease, time, and fuel costs are a huge waste. If people can work from home or their vehicle, don't waste money bringing them in. If you don't trust them to put in a day's work, fire them and find someone you do.

I've been working from home since late 2019, I work for a broadcast systems integration company, the vast majority of our PMs, engineers and CAD are now done remotely.

It is extraordinarily sub-optimal as what has taken the place of everyone being in the same room to hash out a problem and solve it in an hour has morphed into multiple Teams calls, with spotty internet connections, looking at E-Size cad drawings and a lot of panning and zooming, etc.

The email load has also increased exponentially.
