Heh. The new food guidelines just put out I'm pretty sure are pushing whole fat dairy again! There are something like 225 calories in a soda can's worth of whole milk even before jumping into good/bad fats.

As someone who works in one of America's biggest "maker" sectors (tech) in a massively "maker" metro (Boston)...I'm not sure I'm gleeful about this.
I just don't feel that I'm all that important. Sometimes I wonder if winning by the rules of the game is as virtuous as it sounds.

But then there's the "but reverse racism!" people who complain that they got beaten out for a job by a "DEI hire."
But yes, Americans are absolutely allergic to the idea they aren't the sole source of their own success, but also need someone to blame for their failures.

My guess is they mean de jure vs de facto. I think the concept of emergent systems makes de jure wildly incomplete, but de facto is too academic for casual usage.
But, more importantly, I think people are masters at starting at a comforting viewpoint and then inventing a reality that supports it.

Oh I have the single from whenever Batman came out (1997 it looks?) with the slower version on it. Which popped up twelve years later in Watchmen!

I never understood how this happened. "What if we reuse the Batman song from years ago?!" Are memories that short and as a Pumpkins fan it's unusual that I didn't forget? Was it deliberate for some reason?

Done with Claude, and very quickly for a first pass. The effort was entirely tuning the algorithm. I had an Applebees in San Francsico and one in suburban Los Angeles as my anchor points.
