"It is never appropriate to call in armed police to arrest peaceful student demonstrators....
The faculty of Columbia University has every right – and, in my view, a duty – to protect peaceful free expression at #Columbia with a vote of no confidence in Shafik’s leadership and seek to have her presidency terminated"
Hey Calgary, I'll be giving a public talk at the Telus Science Centre on Wednesday evening at 7:30 MDT about discoveries in the outer Solar System, testing the Planet 9 theory, and how satellites are destroying astronomy as well as the atmosphere and future use of low Earth orbit: https://www.meetup.com/the-calgary-astronomy-meetup-group/events/299157146/
@TheJen@RickiTarr I'm literally in the process of dying my 59 year old wife's hair Radiant Orchid, a super vivid light purple. She says she will never go back to any natural color, this is her now.

I love when I order chinese and they put like 4 fortune cookies and a bunch of plastic forks in there. Sure...heh heh...FOUR of us are eating all this in one sitting tonight while watching a movie, yes...
@Mrfunkedude if you read old newspapers, the number of people getting severely injured or killed by horses was a pretty high number. Falling off, getting dragged to death; your car doesn't kick you in the face when it's in a bad mood.
On the other hand, the number of stories about getting in your wagon drunk, telling the horse to giddyapp, and waking up parked in your own yard the next morning was a counterpoint I suppose
@RickiTarr on eBay I won the naming rights to a floor in a building at MIT, it's still named that even though I paid for it almost 25 years ago. I've never been to MIT.
@qurlyjoe that's my favorite coin design, it's like a little work of art. But a $2.50, that must be tiny! I've held a $5 version and that was super small.
@RickiTarr first marriage went horrible, was a single dad for 8 years, met my wife online (not a dating site, we were writers on the same website), her recently divorced from a bad marriage with two kids, we were together for fun but decided to move in together, decided to get married to make us and our kids one legal family, we marvel it's been 20 years and this is the path we took. Being married feels more like a sidethought, we're equal partners who like each other and have sex, it's great!
@RickiTarr oh, thoughts on marriage: both of our first marriages felt needed, required, we had to marry in order to make it work, which did not go as planned. We married each other because it was a technical reason, we were already committed and planning on being together, so I suppose the commitment comes first, then marriage. Marriage doesn't make commitment.
