Was in Chile earlier this year. There is a nice museum in Santiago which is basically about the Pinochet era. Seemed to be pretty honest about the whole thing. They didn’t blame the CIA at all. They did talk about the school of economics that Pinochet subscribed to. That’s influence, yes, but not the same thing as orchestrating the coup.

Hyperion. One of the finest pieces of sci fi.

Aka, bunch of drunk hosers make some shit up ;)

The game engine that Paradox uses in their games is named after him. For reasons

Only 30C on the thermal camera. Body temp is 37C, so quite reasonable ;)

Be me. Make coffee. Forget you made it. Drink it cold later.

You disappoint me using a US pop culture reference. (Am I doing this right?)

Simplest solution is often the most correct. However, according to the article, he was actually in jail at the time. So it’s possible they are the fence, but I suspect someone else actually stole it. Interesting nevertheless.

When I worked in the Arctic (mineral exploration), someone from the small community we were staging in broke into our helicopter and stole the emergency kit one night. Without it we were grounded. We put out a “reward for return, no questions asked” and got it back a few hours later by someone who “found it on the side of the road”. We didn’t pursue legal action, because doing so would mean the next time something like this happened in the community, we couldn’t offer a reward and expect it to work. Conversely, we probably encouraged them to do it again. Game theory is weird.

Yeah, found that funny. Like did they hire a private firm to take a lie detector tests to create evidence or something?

The successful fight is why I posted it here. Sorry to be so controversial with it.

The hottest parts are that burn

Was actually taken during warmup, Jets coming onto the ice. Which is why you can still see stripes from the water freezing, and no goalie in far end.

Steps, cushions, lava lamp ;)

Penner is a common Mennonite surname, and there are are a lot of Penners in Canada. Mennonite low German (Plautdietsch) is more weirder.

The wiki page has some good sample texts comparing it between Dutch and Low German.

My surname (Unrau) is also Mennonite, but could be German.

This concludes my TED talk.

Yeah, would be an interesting lawsuit if she had proof of that statement.

On the flip side, I like that our courts publish proceedings. If we’re having an open and transparent society, and we want to trust in our institutions, then this transparency is required. An conundrum, to be sure.
