• Chez Watt ballot for August

    From Mark Isaak@21:1/5 to All on Fri Sep 1 21:50:53 2023
    August was a pretty good month for Chez Watts quantity-wise. As for
    quality, well, you will have to vote about that.


    == 1 ==================================================
    Category: The long slow repeated revolution

    During College I went 180 degrees a decade or so I went another 1890.

    == 2 ==================================================
    Chez Watt nomination, food and entertainment category:

    this should answer all your dinosaur diet related questions.

    Hmmm. Doesn't say which wine goes good with sauropterygians.

    == 3 ==================================================
    In the category "For those out of their depth":

    We are certainly very good at being humans, but fish are much better
    at being fish.

    == 4 ==================================================
    Category: Each of these things is unlike the other, or
    it's not just a memory problem

    For you, it is: you are a very poor reasoner. I've lost track
    of how many times I've told you that you are "a polemicist
    first, a propagandist second, and a reasoner a distant third."

    == 5 ==================================================
    8/18 by DB Cates
    "Take that as potentially helpful advice, not as an attack."

    Shuuure.
