You all know I usually don’t write up articles or posts on the “flavor of the day” unless there’s a greater lesson to be learned, so, here goes. Yeah, I sometimes follow trials, a habit that started with Rittenhouse’s railroading (he managed to get off said tracks) and continued through Depp’s proof that women can be deceitful, malicious cunts, and that women at large, and society in general, were happy to buy what she was selling until she shot herself in the foot “live” on trial with her nonse
Weight and Loss (opens the original)

For what it’s worth, I’ve got another 20 lbs to lose, and I’ve lost 35-40 lbs. Yes, I’ve plateaued, but I’ve also kept the weight off. And I hate most of the advice on weight loss. You’ve got the “calories don’t matter” crowd, the crowd that believes what food you eat doesn’t matter as login as calories match up, and on, and on and on.

NantesAfter a couple nights in Paris, we headed west, taking the high-speed TGV to Nantes, where we spent time with friends who hosted us, and showed us around. This wasn’t the first high-speed train I’d been on, as I’d taken the shinkansen (bullet train) in Japan, and this one too, though laid out differently, was clean and modern and had room. They are basically equivalent and they operate at the same top speeds, but I think the new-design kingfisher-beak shinkansen lead cars are prettier, and
Theory, and Practice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I half-jokingly posted that, looking back, perhaps a better name for this blog/site/stack would be “models of the world”, because that encompassed both the gaming and art/media side of my writing, as well as the more philosophical side.In this I’m going to leave aside questions of noetic knowledge, or of phenomena for which we only have (often unreliable) witnesses, despite the fact that in many cases, especially when it comes to weather phenomena such as rogue waves, all we had were witness rep
