  2. Feb 28, 2022Twitter · reply@growing_daniel Lol, somehow this mental image reminds me of Snowdon... Wonder what he's up to in Russia rn

  8. Feb 28, 2022Twitter · reply@Noahpinion Any discussion of the Chinese? Seems like they'd have reasons for ambivalence, and they're a significant player wrt financial & trade for Russia?
  9. Feb 28, 2022Twitter · reply@MJBrendanawicz @Aella_Girl Ig I visualize it as a bunch of axes, labeling one end Love and asking what's the most appropriate label for the other end? And imo indifference works best there?
  10. Feb 28, 2022Twitter · reply@MJBrendanawicz @Aella_Girl Imo it's a lot easier for love and hate to coexist than love and indifference...?
  11. Feb 28, 2022Twitter · repostRT @Piers_Taylor: Occasionally you get emailed an Academia recommendation and think - yeah, that’s EXACTLY what I was looking for… https://…
  12. Feb 28, 2022Twitter · reply@Nexuist @mattparlmer @quantumVerd (and, tbh I'm interested in all this for the selfish reason that I'm working on design of new construction eco-friendly house)
  13. Feb 28, 2022Twitter · reply@Nexuist @mattparlmer @quantumVerd Hmmm ig depends on which climate you're starting from... But PassivHaus in my climate reduces HVAC energy demand below hot water demand
  14. Feb 28, 2022Twitter · reply@Nexuist @mattparlmer @quantumVerd Presumably you'd know to economize? With superinsulated new construction doesn't take much to keep warm, and hot water use can be scaled way down
  15. Feb 28, 2022Twitter · reply@mattparlmer @quantumVerd Hmm but this is mitigated by solar + battery systems?

  23. Feb 27, 2022Twitter · reply@_djpn Go full prepper with a secret bunker full of supplies and a list of women invited to occupy it with you? If the worst should happen might have to repopulate the world... 😏
  24. Feb 27, 2022Twitter · repostRT @Kasparov63: The time for long maneuvering games are over. The only way this really ends is the fall of Putin's regime by collapse of Ru…

  27. Feb 27, 2022Twitter · reply@edavidds @mattyglesias You gotta think the US trainers who spent the last few months prepping them must've shared this perspective from the POV of demoralized occupying force.
  28. Feb 27, 2022Twitter · quote🤣 this will uncover more than just Putin's cronies... https://x.com/robtfrank/status/1498133260941111298
  29. Feb 27, 2022Twitter · reply@postdharma @growing_daniel Imo some of it's the nature of invading a civilian population- all the lookie-loos with phone cameras and nothing better to do are cheering for the home team.
  30. Feb 27, 2022Twitter · repostRT @Austen: Given how divided the United States has been, I’m surprised that I don’t see more support for Russia. It’s ironically only the…
  31. Feb 27, 2022Twitter · reply@sama Ugh, it's too upsetting to think about for long... Tbh I wasn't sure Trump wouldn't use his button after Jan 6... So I'm really hoping there's a Russian General Milley putting himself between Putin and their nuclear weapons, just in case.
  32. Feb 27, 2022Twitter · quoteGreat guy, great restaurants, great humanitarian org. https://x.com/chefjoseandres/status/1498091276205535232

  36. Feb 27, 2022Twitter · reply@nicholatian Frustrating thing is that there's money to be made in selling access to appealing levers to young people without advisors... Imo you're better off copying what rich families do, but then even that isn't visible to everyone?
  37. Feb 27, 2022Twitter · reply@Pathless110 Ahh... didn't have enough space for the word morale in the first option- that we underestimate the importance of differing tactics but also level of motivation for defenders vs invaders
  38. Feb 27, 2022Twitter · reply@yenwoda This is my feeling too- everything from advance warning & months of trainers to weaponry & supplies to ongoing ISR & comms... But probably good that public perception is otherwise? 🤷‍♀️
  39. Feb 27, 2022Twitter · postUkraine seems to be outperforming expectations- what's the main reason why?
  40. Feb 27, 2022Twitter · reply@varunramg @sheslostheplot Well, given what you may track in from SF sidewalks...

  46. Feb 26, 2022Twitter · reply@ruedaminute Idk, but when you do, invite me plz!
  47. Feb 26, 2022Twitter · reply@BasedBeff 🤣 funny because true, though not literally the Pentagon (which is mostly about politicking for advancement)
  48. Feb 26, 2022Twitter · reply@PhillipRCW @MrsEmmaJK @michaelh992 @londoner_007 Faraday pouch
  49. Feb 26, 2022Twitter · reply@besttrousers Difference being that it didn't take them two years to remove the pump handle ... Sigh.

  51. Feb 26, 2022Twitter · reply@RokoMijic I find it hard to believe given how the Ukraine campaign is going... Unless he's not in his right mind, in which case God help us all
  52. Feb 26, 2022Twitter · reply@goblinodds My psychiatrist said I had mild bipolar 2 and what tipped the scales was family history... So maybe that's one avenue to identifying people with the neurotype but not the suffering?
  53. Feb 26, 2022Twitter · reply@Bowden4Senate I'm 100% on board with banning their private jets though... The oligarchs could stop this, or could have chosen to leave in protest beforehand (and could anyway fly commerical if necessary).
  54. Feb 26, 2022Twitter · reply@ArlStephen The "far off corner" is walkable / bikeable for the densest part of South Arlington, furthest from the high school pools to the north and west. They do need to adjust bus service and fix the awkward intersections near the Pentagon though.
  55. Feb 26, 2022Twitter · reply@RokoMijic The weeks of advance knowledge weren't wasted- US delivered more missiles and other supplies in the weeks before invasion- https://www.today.com/video/us-military-supplies-arrive-in-ukraine-131718725695

  59. Feb 25, 2022Twitter · reply@StefanFSchubert @mattyglesias Yes- I think reasonableness is different from expertise- media is incentivized to seek extremes and conflict... Vs everyday nonpartisan people are more in the habit of compromise and teamwork.
  60. Feb 25, 2022Twitter · quoteElon doubts Moxie?!? 🙀 https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1497090306814066692
  61. Feb 25, 2022Twitter · reply(personal theory is they're pulling together proposals for an emergency funding package from Congress... War in Ukraine is one thing, but opportunity to increase budget is something else)

  64. Feb 25, 2022Twitter · reply@cauchyfriend Hope so, hope more businesses shut down / send a message with their services- Netflix should highligh Zelenskyy speeches on their home screen, etc.

  66. Feb 25, 2022Twitter · reply@eigenrobot Internet-facing companies really have to consider the balance of profit vs poison flowing from Russia......
  67. Feb 25, 2022Twitter · reply@_say_woman @DuckDuckeeDuck @lacroicsz I guess I'm not good at emotional calculations like this (which is perhaps disqualifying itself?)... But if I'm think about running a marathon, just being aware of the challenge and believing really hard doesn't make me qualified...
  68. Feb 25, 2022Twitter · quoteMight have to check out the Wordcel museum this weekend https://x.com/PlanetWordDC/status/1497225291529338923
  69. Feb 25, 2022Twitter · reply@DuckDuckeeDuck @lacroicsz all this "hardest thing in the world" rhetoric is why I feel unqualified to be a mother... How many of us are really up for the hardest challenge, knowing there's no backing out once you start?
  70. Feb 24, 2022Twitter · reply@YrWelcomeMatt @eigenrobot Yeah that's my equally naive / optimistic assessment too... Why would average Russians be happy about this?

  77. Feb 24, 2022Twitter · reply@robinhanson Does "fools who would hurt themselves" include young children? Because then obv A- world would be worse off if we remove parents' ability to protect children from their own foolish stubborn impulses.
  78. Feb 24, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz Hm I'm sure they talked and solidified their friendship, and that for Putin it was part of Ukraine strategy to ensure China wouldn't oppose them... But would he have tipped his hand / openly coordinated attacks?
  79. Feb 24, 2022Twitter · reply@SouthernSummr 🤣 nothing wrong with this, happens all the time

During volumetric DDoS attacks, victims will often geoblock Russia because it's a source of bad traffic 🤷‍♀️
  86. Feb 24, 2022Twitter · postImo everyone should geoblock Russia in solidarity w Ukraine and as a security measure. Meanwhile UN should organize neighboring countries to cut backbone fiber lines... they're launching cyber attacks and flooding us with misinfo- need the literally choke off their access.

  88. Feb 23, 2022Twitter · reply@Pathless110 @eigenrobot Boo, this is why we need to continue the feminization conspiracy full throttle
  89. Feb 23, 2022Twitter · reply@varunramg I'm still doubtful it comes to that...

  99. Feb 23, 2022Twitter · reply@CraigMahoney @sbkaufman Lol, see I wouldn't change it if I could... Too much a part of my personality and feels slightly net positive now that I've learned to handle it 🤷‍♀️
  100. Feb 23, 2022Twitter · reply@StefanFSchubert Though maybe more important on a site where local politicians & staff are known to read the comments... Feels good to see 20 downvotes and add my own on a comment about how proposed park benches will invite bums to sleep there
