**Christmas gift pickles** This was a pickle kit that uses the brine method, which is the same as sauerkraut. In the background is the mandolin, nicknamed **Vlad the Impaler**. It has caused much blood. Now, the rule is to not go within 3 ft of it without the cut-proof gloves. These are a cheap ammie thing, with stainless steel threads. Much to the dismay of my cut fingertip, the 'safety' holder is useless.

Women of Ukraine, I salute you. I see photos and videos of you in action. Not just Ukrainian women. Some auxillary services are international. Women performing dangerous duties in the name of freedom.

If people think it would be too difficult to update current buildings to better air quality standards, back in the 1850s Engineers raised all of central Chicago so they could install a city-wide sewage system to eliminate numerous epidemics of typhoid fever, dysentery, and cholera ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raising_of_Chicago ). H/T: @lisa_iannattone 4/
The disgusting part is that prior to that sewage was diverted to the space under buildings. No wonder they had all those epidemics.

Ukraine has made some rather amazing advances in UAV and UMV (Unmanned Marine Vehicle) warfare. Ukraine was just a peaceful nation minding their own business 10 months ago. Russia kicked a hornets nest.

Agent and asset may give him too much or too little agency. But he clearly sees himself as Putin's accomplice. I don't think it's much more complicated than Trump wants to be Putin and Putin wants Trump to destroy America. And these are the same goals.

Covid-19 has killed well over a million Americans and continues to kill thousands a week. Many, if not most of those deaths, were and are preventable. So I'd like to wish a hearty "Eat shit" to anyone who suggests that we did *too much* to prevent this catastrophe.
Merry Christmas! The U.S. energy department just declared the Texas grid an emergency again-again!

The fourth point about overclaiming or overgeneralizing is known as "external validizability" or "external validity".
Again it's got its own wikipedia page and hundreds if not thousands of published papers on the topic.
In the reproducibility crisis literature, it's also a leading candidate as cause for that problem.

I've tried not to bring too much baggage with me from COVID Twitter but this NYTimes story is appalling. Not only do they paint those still wearing masks as holdouts, but they somehow couldn't find someone who wears anything in between a handmade cloth mask and an elastomeric P100, giving the impression that the remaining mask wearers are either wearing ineffectual protection or wearing a level of protection that most people were unwilling to adopt even pre-vaccination.
This is a good representation of Russian promises and Russian treaties.

Tucker Carlson completely loses it - Palmer Report
Poor Tucker. He sees Zelenskyy, a revered and respected leader. He knows he could never be such a leader. He would have taken the ride last February.
Don't worry Tucker, you still have the MAGA. You command their respect. Even if the rest of America holds you in contempt.

I hope Republicans keep coming up with weirdos to run as candidates. How about some people with imaginary friends. Just for variety.
