QuoteBernal, known as first lady Jill Biden's "work husband" and a loyal member of the family's inner circle, flouted an invitation to sit for a transcribed interview with the House Oversight Committee after the Trump White House waived executive privilege for the testimony.

QuoteIn total, 367 volunteer participants completed an online survey. Of them, 21% either have or have had an unfaithful relationship. The majority (81.7%) were doctors. Men were 4.3 times more unfaithful than women, with these differences being statistically significant (OR = 4.37, p < 0.001). Of the participants involved in an unfaithful relationship within the work area, the majority were men. Likewise, those who reported having had sex in the doctor's room on duty were also men, with these differences being statistically significant (OR = 12.81, p < 0.01). The night emergency schedule was 60% more frequent in unfaithful people, and these differences were statistically significant (OR = 12.43, p < 0.01). There is a significant rate of infidelity in doctors and nurses. Men are more likely to be unfaithful than women are, and people who work nighttime emergencies are more likely to be unfaithful.

QuoteAfter Gioia had her first child with her then husband, he installed baby monitors throughout their Massachusetts home—to "watch what we were doing," she says, while he went to work. She'd turn them off; he'd get angry. By the time their third child turned seven, Gioia and her husband had divorced, but he still found ways to monitor her behavior. One Christmas, he gave their youngest a smartwatch. Gioia showed it to a tech-savvy friend, who found that the watch had a tracking feature turned on. It could be turned off only by the watch's owner—her ex.

This sentiment is unfortunately common among people experiencing what's become known as TFA, or tech-facilitated abuse. Defined by the National Network to End Domestic Violence as "the use of digital tools, online platforms, or electronic devices to control, harass, monitor, or harm someone," these often invisible or below-the-radar methods include using spyware and hidden cameras; sharing intimate images on social media without consent; logging into and draining a partner's online bank account; and using device-based location tracking, as Gioia's ex did with their daughter's smartwatch.

Recently Elizabeth (for privacy, we're using her first name only) found an AirTag her ex had hidden inside a wheel well of her car, attached to a magnet and wrapped in duct tape. Months after the AirTag debuted, Apple had received enough reports about unwanted tracking to introduce a security measure letting users who'd been alerted that an AirTag was following them locate the device via sound. "That's why he'd wrapped it in duct tape," says Elizabeth. "To muffle the sound."

motion / Re: Pipe Smoking
Last post by prime - Jun 17, 2025, 07:33 AM
What stuffs the pipe these days: a mix of "Amsterdam Shag" and "Irish Flake." In an empty pipe, a wad of the shag fills the bottom, then a mix of shag and cube-cut flake stacks to the top. This provides kindling to the flake which is otherwise hard to get lit in windy circumstances. It also ends the bowl with a buffer zone of shag that absorbs the flavor and nicotine of the flake but burns easily so you end up with dust instead of dottle. It is slightly more of a pain in the neck to prepare, but leads to a sweet smoke moderated by the earthy nature of the shag.

Quote"(It is thought that the virus is a degeneration from more complex life form. It may at one time have been capable of independent life. Now has fallen to the borderline between living and dead matter. It can exhibit living qualities only in a host, by using the life of another -- the renunciation of life itself, a falling towards inorganic, inflexible machine, towards dead matter.)

Naked Lunch, p 67

QuoteAs far as scientists can tell from its genome -- the only evidence of its existence so far -- it's a parasite that provides nothing to the single-celled creature it calls home. Most of Sukunaarchaeum's mere 189 protein-coding genes are focused on replicating its own genome; it must steal everything else it needs from its host Citharistes regius, a dinoflagellate that lives in ocean waters all over the world. Adding to the mystery of the microbe, some of its sequences identify it as archaeon, a lineage of simple cellular organisms more closely related to complex organisms like us than to bacteria like Escherichia coli.
