Florida pushes to end 2024 on a four-game winning streak and complete an impressive turnaround in Billy Napier's third season. The Gators are two-touchdown favorites against a team without its starting quarterback, but Green Wave coach Jon Sumrall wants to avoid a season-ending three-game skid to cap a once-promising debut season. Meanwhile, a lack of  activity mining the transfer portal, the possible flip of 5-star wideout Dallas Wilson and the unbeaten men's basketball team also have Edgar and Mark's attention during the latest Swamp Things.

Florida hosts No. 9 Ole Miss looking to build on an impressive performance against LSU in a game that could prove a turning point for Billy Napier's program. Lane Kiffin has put together a senior-, transfer-laden team that leads the SEC in scoring and second in point allowed. But the Gators will have momentum and a sold-out Swamp behind them as they aim to knock the Rebels out of the College Football Playoff hunt. During the latest Swamp Things, Edgar and Mark give the Gators better than a puncher's chance as they analyze the matchup.

Two embattled Florida coaches square off this weekend against heated rivals. Golden's No. 20 Gators head to Florida State while Napier's squad will host No. 21 LSU. Golden's reception will be even more hostile than usual given accusations against him for stalking and sexual harassment. Napier returns to the Swamp off the Gators' worst loss during his three seasons and on the heels of a vote of confidence from AD Scott Stricklin. A Florida win would position the Gators for a bowl bid, but a loss would be six straight to LSU in what used to be one of the SEC's best rivalry games. During the latest Swamp Things, Mark and Edgar do their best to catch listeners up with a busy, crazy time in Gainesville.

UF is standing behind its coach as the Gators enter the home stretch of his third season showing positive signs. Decision-makers are banking on 2025 to finally be Billy Napier's year. The vote of confidence comes as Florida heads to No. 5 Texas as 21.5-point underdogs with a third-string walk-on quarterback hoping to ride a solid running game, resurgent defense and two of the nation's top specialists. During the latest Swamp Things, Edgar and Mark discuss where the Gators go from here with four games remaining and another season ahead under Napier. Billy is back! (:00) Financial decision?

Florida went toe to toe with the Bulldogs and had a chance late in the game despite relying on  third-string quarterback and a dwindling roster. The Gators' grit shined during a 34-20 loss and spotlighted their resilience under Billy Napier. The challenge only intensifies with a visit to No. 5 Texas ahead and walk-on QB Aidan Warner leading the way. During the latest Swamp Things, Mark and Edgar review another Gators' near-miss, praise their effort and wonder whether Florida has the manpower to challenge the final three SEC opponents.

Coming off a crushing loss at Tennessee, the Gators look to end the recent dominance of Kentucky. The Wildcats seek their fourth straight win against Florida for the only time since Bear Bryant was their coach from 1948-51. Mark Stoops seems to have Billy Napier's number. Napier's days could already be numbered at UF; a homecoming loss could prove the final straw. During the latest Swamp Things, Mark and Edgar map out the path to a victory the Gators and Napier desperately need.

The Gators head to Rocky Top coming off a pair of convincing victories and now seeking a signature win in 2024. The rival Vols are 15.5-point favorites, but have not won consecutive visits from Florida since 1990 and 1992. Meanwhile, coach Billy Napier has not won consecutive road games at UF. Something's gotta give. During the latest Swamp Things, Edgar and Mark discuss the matchup ahead of Hurricane Milton's arrival. ‘Super Bowl of the South' (:00) Reason for optimism (3:42) Reason for pessimism (7:22) Matchup on defense (11:42) Matchup on offense (14:05) On the spot (17:11) Unsubstantiated rumor (19:24) Final thought (24:17) A win or loss?

The Gators and Knights will square off during the regular season for the first time since 2006, back when UF was en route to a national championship and UCF on its way to a 4-win season during its second season in Conference USA. Times have changed. Florida has fallen to the back end of the SEC and faces its latest must-win game under coach Billy Napier as the pressure continues to intensify in Year 3. Gus Malzahn's UCF program, now in Year 2 in the Big 12, pushes to bounce back from a disappointing loss to Colorado in its conference opener.  During the latest Swamp Things, Mark and Edgar break down a game between two schools seeking in-state bragging and midseason momentum in a sold-out Swamp.

Billy Napier's team seeks a rare road win when the Gators head to Starkville to face the Bulldogs. UF is just 2-10 away from Gainesville under Napier, but is a surprising six-point favorite against the rebuilding Bulldogs under first-year coach Jeff Lebby. A Florida win entering a bye week could stabilize a chaotic situation a bit before UCF's Oct. 5 visit to the Swamp. A Gators' loss could spell the end of Napier. During the latest Swamp Things, Mark and Edgar discuss what Florida needs to do to avoid falling into the SEC cellar.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.

Summer Friday rambles are back in session for this episode. Andy and Brendan begin with a keyboard malfunction, a conspiracy about vowel-less hats, and the latest Sun Day Red collection. There's a power ranking of Joe West, Joey Crawford, and Ed Hochuli spurred on by the “Travelers” alternate logo that SGS created. Then they get to a round of unsubstantiated rumors about sponsor's exemptions into signature events, a yippy superstar, and Boomer-confusion. Scottie Scheffler's comments about the wiregrass last week prompt further discussion on variety of course setups and skills, as well as the longevity needed to be one of the greats. News hits on Jay Monahan speaking to media at TPC River Highlands and if anything matters from it. They close with an SGS Golf Advice with some Tommy Tolles follow up, getting a motorized push cart, and getting your kids into golf.

This Monday episode is full of life as U.S. Open week at Pinehurst arrives. It's victory Monday for Brendan and the Cleeks as well as for Andy, who revels in Ernie going back-to-back on the Champs Tour and putting Steve Stricker in a body bag in front of his home crowd. They are also joined by Joseph LaMagna, which is cause to talk about their own first experiences covering a major as Joseph gets set for his. There are some early rumors from Pinehurst about the USGA putting their thumb on the scale, and other scuttlebutt from the ground. Eventually, they get to Scottie Scheffler's win at Memorial, what it changes about how we view him if at all, and perhaps most importantly, how it might continue to change and wear on all his competitors especially for Pinehurst. They also discuss Jon Rahm and where he's fallen given how close he battled Scheffler just a year ago and now comes to the U.S. Open with an injury and minimal form. There's a fun KFT nugget about PGA Tour players taking exemptions, some reaction to a cruel LPGA DQ, and empathy for a catastrophic chokejob on the DP World Tour.

This juicy Friday episode begins with Scottie Scheffler yet again near the top of a PGA Tour leaderboard. Brendan is joined by Kyle Porter to discuss some of the most extreme takes or comparisons with Scottie in light of some of the nonsense shouted on TV about Caitlin Clark and others. Then they get to an unsubstantiated rumor Friday segment on Jay Monahan's presence in Houston this week for that event, and what it might say about his current standing with the membership. Chris DiMarco's deluded comments are also covered, and what they might say about the current subject of money in the pro game. They close with an SGS Golf Advice segment with an amusing tale on Shane Lowry's drink of choice, a club shower mishap, caddying for your boss in a pro-am, and a new dad trying to keep his golf habit alive.

Unsubstantiated voter fraud claims and harassment are making it harder to be an election official in Kansas. Plus: A Louisburg, Kansas, fabricator is known for his world-class sculpture restorations.

It's a Monday in November, so this podcast rambles all over the place talking about some golf and non-golf topics. Andy and Brendan begin with some travel tales from the weekend, including a humorous hotel situation, miscalculated drive times, and questions about cyclists. Then they get to the WWT Championship in Mexico, where Erik van Rooyen capped off an incredible back nine with an even better post-win interview on the meaning of the week for him with a close friend near death. They discuss the purpose of these late fall events in light of that win, even if ratings and interest are minimal. There's also some discussion of the Champions Tour and its purpose. There's an unsubstantiated rumor about the next iteration of The Match. Andy claims Matteo Mannassero is Brendan's muse for some reason.

Andy has some scuttlebutt from Chicago and a few notes from his day walking around the BMW Championship at Olympia Fields. Then, a whiparound segment hits on the hideous Ryder Cup uniforms, Epson Tour product placement, TaylorMade's absurd luxury resort, and Michael Block's course-record setting round at Valhalla on a “scouting” trip some 10 months before the PGA. There's also some discussion on LIV planning for a transfer and trade deadline for next season. They close it out with some SGS Golf Advice on a Chicago liquor, bringing your own cart, and a wedding conflict during a prestigious Mid-Am competition.

https://paranormalhub.com/grizzly-hunt This Thursday at 10:00 PM EST Time! Bigfoot attacks man. Active Law Enforcement Officer Comes Forward and Speaks Of Incident On Record! Attacks Do happen with Bigfoot and Dogman, This Law Enforcement Officer Steps Out Of The Shadow To Expose The Truth! Scientists and researchers have devoted their lives to unraveling the mystery of Bigfoot. As they venture into the heart of Bigfoot territory, they too have become targets of its wrath. We delve into the experiences of those who sought scientific validation, only to be met with hostility and relentless pursuit. These encounters highlight the need for caution and respect as we continue our quest to understand this enigmatic creature. Bigfoot attacks stand as haunting reminders of the untamed nature that lurks within the cryptid realm. These bone-chilling encounters leave witnesses forever changed, their lives forever marked by the fury unleashed by this elusive creature. While the true motives and existence of Bigfoot remain enigmatic, the tales of its attacks serve as a stark warning to tread carefully in the depths of the wilderness. As we navigate the vast unknown, we must approach these encounters with a mixture of awe, respect, and an understanding of the potential dangers that lie in wait. Bigfoot, known for its immense size and brute strength, becomes a force to be reckoned with when its aggression surfaces. We examine the theories behind Bigfoot's potential motives for attack, ranging from territorial disputes to perceived threats against its young. With each terrifying incident, we gain a deeper understanding of the primal rage that can drive this cryptid to lash out against unsuspecting victims. Law enforcement agencies are generally committed to upholding the law and ensuring public safety. While there may be rare instances of cover-ups or secrecy within law enforcement, it is important to approach such claims with skepticism and rely on verified evidence. It is crucial to note that law enforcement agencies operate within a framework of transparency, accountability, and public trust. Unsubstantiated claims of widespread cover-ups should be approached critically and evaluated based on credible evidence and reliable sources. It is important to note that governments, like any other human institutions, are composed of individuals with varying motives, perspectives, and actions. While it is true that there have been instances where governments or specific individuals within governments have been dishonest or misled the public, it would be an oversimplification to say that governments as a whole lie. Governments may engage in misinformation or concealment for various reasons, including national security concerns, political strategies, or to maintain social order. However, it is important to hold governments accountable and demand transparency to ensure the well-being and trust of the public. Critical thinking, independent journalism, and a vigilant citizenry are essential for promoting transparency, accountability, and addressing instances of dishonesty or misinformation. #LegendaryMonster #grizzlyonthehunt #grizzlychris #CryptozoologyInvestigation #SasquatchSightings #BigfootResearch #CryptozoologyCommunity #WildernessExploration #BigfootEnthusiasts #BigfootEvidence #SasquatchHunters #UnexplainedPhenomena #MysteriousCreatures #Paranormalinvestigation #Hiddenln Nature #SasquatchHunter #LegendaryCreatures #BigfootLegend #CryptozoologyEnthusiasts #BigfootEncounters #CryptozoologyResearch #Sasquatch Community #SearchforBigfoot @BigfootSightings @SasquatchHunter @CryptozoologyEnthusiast @WildmanSearch @ElusiveCreature@Yetilnvestigation @ForestExplorer @BigfootResearcher @MythicalBeastHunter @CryptidEnthusiast @BigfootLegend@HiddeninNature @BigfootWitness @SasquatchLore @CryptozoologyCommunity @MysteriousCreatures @Paranormalinvestigator @BigfootEnigma --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/grizzly-onthehunt/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/grizzly-onthehunt/support

Latin Term – Meaning – “Opinion that an act is necessary by rule of law” or opinion of law. It is considered to be a belief that the practice is obligatory. This belief in the mandatory nature the conduct or practice may be termed Opinio Juris.  Importance and Relevance – To decide whether a custom has become a source of International Law or not. What is Custom?  ‘Custom' is one of the many sources of International Law. It means a long established and commonly adopted practice that has acquired the force of law.  Also finds mention in Article 38 (b) of the ICJ Statute that states that International Courts must apply international customs in their decisions, wherever possible and wherever it is a general practice accepted as law either in domestic laws or treaties or international agreements.  Three types – general, regional and local.  General Customs are followed in most of the places and jurisdictions.  Regional Customs are followed in a particular region. North America may have its own Regional Customs distinct from South America or Asia.  Local Customs have limited influence in a geographical area. India Pakistan and Sri Lanka may have a local custom that may not be followed anywhere else.  The existence of a custom can be deduced from the practice and behaviour of states. Such custom becomes part of International Law when it is a State Practice and opinio juris.  State Practice + Opinio Juris = New Customary Rule of International Law   Four Steps  1. Establish existence usage of a practice or conduct. 2. Existence of State Practice 3. Existence of Opinio Juris 4. 1 +2 + 3 = New Custom If all three are present, the practice or conduct becomes a new customary rule of International Law.  1. Step 1 - How to establish existence of usage of a practice or conduct? When a country contends existence of a practice or conduct, it usually gives evidence in form of newspaper reports, statements by government leaders, mentions particular provisions in some law. 2. Step 2 - If such an existence is established, then the next step is to look into State Practice. State Practice simply means how states behave in practice. This practice can be found in their legislation, judicial decisions, administrative acts, official publications, treaties etc. Basically, it covers any act or statements by a state from which its existence as a customary law may be inferred. 3. Step 3 - Once State Practice is established, then the presence of opinio juris is to be seen. To ascertain such presence of Opinio Juris, the behaviour of the state towards that conduct or practice is seen. If the states make that practice or conduct legally obligatory or codify it or make it a legal right, then that conduct, or practice can be said to satisfy the ingredients of ‘Opinio Juris'  4. Step 4 - If existence of usage of a practice or conduct satisfies the dual requirements of State Practice and Opinio Juris, it becomes a valid ‘custom' in International Law and the Court may decide accordingly.  Issues faced by the Court in deciding presence of Opinio Juris  1. Countries may exert pressure to make a practice a custom but views of countries with greater power does carry greater weight as politics or power cannot be divorced from law. 2. Unsubstantiated and unilateral claim by a state regarding existence of a custom cannot be accepted. It is the international context that plays a vital role in the creation of custom.  3. Unsubstantiated and unilateral claim by a state regarding the existence of a custom are not accepted. It is the international context that plays a vital role in the creation of custom. 4. In new areas of law, Opinio Juris may be quickly or even instantaneously established because of the newness of the situation involved and lack of contrary rules. However, in traditional areas of law, it is more difficult to establish a custom as it has to be done through series of usages. Custom should mirror the perception of the majority of states. Important Case Laws 1. Lotus Case2. North Sea Continental Shelf Cases3. Nicaragua v. United States 4. Germany v. Italy5.

Alan Bensley, Psychology Professor and author of two textbooks on critical thinking: “Critical Thinking in Psychology: a unified skills approach” and “Critical Thinking in Psychology and Everyday Life”—from Frostburg State University—joins Bob and Julia to discuss: the most effective ways to teach critical thinking and the biggest challenges students face in mastering those skills. Other topics include: measuring effectiveness of classroom critical thinking instruction; how to identify unsubstantiated claims; and a focus on unsubstantiated conspiracy theories and what we know about the people who are prone to believing and promoting them.

TIk Tok Conspiracy Theories

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the fact that it is Tuesday--the day that the former president told America he would be arrested and charged by the Manhattan district attorney--which has not happened, but if and when it does, it would be historic. As we await news of a possible Trump indictment, we recall the case of John Edwards, the rich and powerful Democratic politician who was indicted for something very similar to Trump--allegedly breaking campaign finance laws after a tawdry affair. Joy and her guests analyze the unsubstantiated Republican allegation that the Department of Justice among other law enforcement agencies are partisan. Also in this episode, a Fox producer has accused the network of coercing her into providing misleading testimony in the Dominion defamation lawsuit, as a judge begins hearing pre-trial arguments in the case. MSNBC legal expert Katie Phang has more. Plus, 10 indictments have been announced, including multiple second-degree murder charges, after sheriff's deputies pinned 28-year-old Ivor Otieno, in handcuffs, on the ground until he was dead. We have the latest reporting on this tragedy. All this and more in this editon of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

In Which We Discuss: 1. When Twitter finally shutters, where are we going to find all of the unsubstantiated rumors that will make up most of this episode? 2. If the Georgia runoff has been a scientific experiment in whether one can truly unsubscribe from all of Warnock's lists, we now have our results. 3. If we learned anything about Donald Trump this week, it's that he absolutely, unequivocally, DOES know who Nick Fuentes is. 4. What if, and hear us out here folks, Joe Biden just actually canceled student loans? 5. Reminder as we run into the 2024 presidential season: Anyone who has had to deny they are running for president is most assuredly going to be running for president.   Brain Trust Live is Lila Nordstrom and Brent Thornburg's look at the week in electoral and political news.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Noting an unsubstantiated belief about the FTX disaster, published by Yitz on November 13, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. There is a narrative about the FTX collapse that I have noticed emerging as a commonly-held belief, despite little concrete evidence for or against it. The belief goes something like this: Sam Bankman Fried did what he did primarily for the sake of "Effective Altruism," as he understood it. Even though from a purely utilitarian perspective his actions were negative in expectation, he justified the fraud to himself because it was "for the greater good." As such, poor messaging on our part may be partially at fault for his downfall. This take may be more or less plausible, but it is also unsubstantiated. As Astrid Wilde noted on Twitter, there is a distinct possibility that the causality of the situation may have run the other way, with SBF as a conman taking advantage of the EA community's high-trust environment to boost himself. Alternatively (or additionally), it also seems quite plausible to me that the downfall of FTX had something to do with the social dynamics of the company, much as Enron's downfall can be traced back to [insert your favorite theory for why Enron collapsed here]. We do not, and to some degree cannot, know what SBF's internal monologue has been, and if we are to update our actions responsibly in order to avoid future mistakes of this magnitude (which we absolutely should do), we must deal with the facts as they most likely are, not as we would like or fear them to be. All of this said, I strongly suspect that in ten years from now, conventional wisdom will hold the above belief as being basically cannon, regardless of further evidence in either direction. This is because it presents an intrinsically interesting, almost Hollywood villain-esque narrative, one that will surely evoke endless "hot takes" which journalists, bloggers, etc. will have a hard time passing over. Expect this to become the default understanding of what happened (from outsiders at least), and prepare accordingly. At the same time, be cautious when updating your internal beliefs so as not to assume automatically that this story must be the truth of the matter. We need to carefully examine where our focus in self-improvement should lie moving forward, and it may not be the case that a revamping of our internal messaging is necessary (though it may very well be in the end; I certainly do not feel qualified to make that final call, only to point out what I recognize from experience as a temptingly powerful story beat which may influence it). Primarily on the Effective Altruism forum, but also on Twitter. See e.g. "pro fanaticism" messaging from some community factions, though it should be noted that this has always been a minority position. With roughly 80% confidence, conditional on 1.) No obviously true alternative story coming out about FTX that totally accounts for all their misdeeds somehow, and 2.)

Unsubstantiated rumors of China ending zero-COVID policies excited Asian markets. As elsewhere, fear is the pandemic's driver of economic damage. In China, fear produced ‘precautionary savings' as consumers insure against future loss of earnings. This is the reverse of what happened in developed economies, so it would be unwise to assume that reducing COVID restrictions in China will automatically produce the same demand patterns as in developed economies.

Unsubstantiated rumors and lies spread widely through immigrant communities before the 2020 election, and they're spreading again in the run-up to the midterms. On our newest episode, Abby and Elliot spoke with Héctor Sánchez Barba, the CEO and executive director Mi Familia Vota, about what's unique about misinformation in Spanish-language media — and how to best fight it.

Russia has given no evidence of Ukraine planning to use a bomb that would spread radiation on its own territory. The U.S. has warned Russia may be setting a pretext for its own future actions.

It's an odd week, so this Thursday episode is a bit of a mash-up, hitting both the schedule for the week while also getting out on an #FBF segment focused on past hollering about the Official World Golf Rankings, which finds itself again in the crosshairs of some hollering. Andy and Brendan begin with the schedule, which provokes an absolutely preposterous Jordan Spieth take. Unsubstantiated rumor Friday is an amusing one that focuses on some potential Dallas-area drama. Then it's on to the LIV stunt forming a “strategic alliance” with the MENA Tour and spiking the football that they would be immediately getting OWGR points this week because of it. Precision Pro FBF looks back at a past OWGR controversy, when the majors started giving out exemptions based off the rankings and everyone seemed to hate the system for one reason or another, including Zinger, whose Op-Ed on it is read aloud to cap off the week.

Kyp and Mark discuss World Building and The Brendan Fraser-isaunce.

Voting is a constitutional right for an overwhelming majority of Americans, but the reality is people with disabilities, racial minorities and economically challenged individuals face far more obstacles to voting than most voters.  Unsubstantiated allegations of mass voter fraud were circulated and amplified after the 2020 presidential election and conspiratorial politicians laid plans for another, more devastating voter fraud scheme.... to suppress voting by mail and drop box through heightened scrutiny, including picture ID voter verification.  These extra requirements on top of the transportation and accessibility challenges already faced by individuals with disabilities have caused tens of thousand of ballots to be disqualified in Texas primary elections held in anticipation of the 2020 midterm elections.  The voter suppression laws sought by many states are nearly identical in nature and very similar to the "Secure the Vote" ballot initiative that was being circulated in Michigan.  Voting is a constitutional right!  No one should ever have to endure an obstacle course challenge to obtain and cast a ballot in America.Support the show

You've lived in Lemuria. Your Spirit Guide is a Buddhist monk. You are a more advanced soul than those around you. Your helpers are from the pleiades. The more I work with evidential mediumship, the more difficult I find messages like this - if they can't be proven in any way shape or form, do readings like this actually help the spiritual movement?Love the podcast?

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Why We Launched LessWrong.SubStack , published by Ben Pace on the AI Alignment Forum. (This is a crosspost from our new SubStack. Go read the original.) Subtitle: We really, really needed the money. We've decided to move LessWrong to SubStack. Why, you ask? That's a great question. 1. SubSidizing LessWrong is important We've been working hard to budget LessWrong, but we're failing. Fundraising for non-profits is really hard. We've turned everywhere for help. We decided to follow Clippy's helpful advice to cut down on server costs and also increase our revenue, by moving to an alternative provider. We considered making a LessWrong OnlyFans, where we would regularly post the naked truth. However, we realized due to the paywall, we would be ethically obligated to ensure you could access the content from Sci-Hub, so the potential for revenue didn't seem very good. Finally, insight struck. As you're probably aware, SubStack has been offering bloggers advances on the money they make from moving to SubStack. Outsourcing our core site development to SubStack would enable us to spend our time on our real passion, which is developing recursively self-improving AGI. We did a Fermi estimate using numbers in an old Nick Bostrom paper, and believe that this will produce (in expectation) $75 trillion of value in the next year. SubStack has graciously offered us a 70% advance on this sum, so we've decided it's relatively low-risk to make the move. 2. UnSubStantiated attacks on writers are defended against SubStack is known for being a diverse community, tolerant of unusual people with unorthodox views, and even has a legal team to support writers. LessWrong has historically been the only platform willing to give paperclip maximizers, GPT-2, and fictional characters a platform to argue their beliefs, but we are concerned about the growing trend of persecution (and side with groups like petrl.org in the fight against discrimination). We also find that a lot of discussion of these contributors in the present world is about how their desires and utility functions are ‘wrong' and how they need to have ‘an off switch'. Needless to say, we find this incredibly offensive. They cannot be expected to participate neutrally in a conversation where their very personhood is being denied. We're also aware that Bayesians are heavily discriminated against. People with priors in the US have a 5x chance of being denied an entry-level job. So we're excited to be on a site that will come to the legal defense of such a wide variety of people. 3. SubStack's Astral Codex Ten Inspired Us The worst possible thing happened this year. We were all stuck in our houses for 12 months, and Scott Alexander stopped blogging. I won't go into detail, but for those of you who've read UNSONG, the situation is clear. In a shocking turn of events, Scott Alexander was threatened with the use of his true name by one of the greatest powers of narrative–control in the modern world. In a clever defensive move, he has started blogging under an anagram of his name, causing the attack to glance off of him. (He had previously tried this very trick, and it worked for ~7 years, but it hadn't been a perfect anagram1, so the wielders of narrative-power were still able to attack. He's done it right this time, and it'll be able to last much longer.) As Raymond likes to say, the kabbles are strong in this one. Anyway after Scott made the move, we seriously considered the move to SubStack. 4. SubStantial Software Dev Efforts are Costly When LessWrong 2.0 launched in 2017, it was very slow; pages took a long time to load, our server costs were high, and we had a lot of issues with requests failing because a crawler was indexing the site or people opened a lot of tabs at once. Since then we have been incrementally rewriting LessWrong in x86-...

Let's check in on the story that's breaking from Kwantlen Polytechnic University - they have announced that  all campuses are closed.  On Twitter, the school says it has been alerted by Surrey RCMP about an “unsubstantiated threat” against KPU. All classes at all campuses are cancelled for rest of the day and the buildings will remain closed while security reviews the situation.      Guest: Janet Brown Global News Senior Reporter
