@DeborahLeagueFineArt aroma? Odor. The 1992 South East Asia on a shoestring listed something like this: “Durian smells like shit, tastes like shit, and looks like shit. You may also try durian ice cream, which smells and tastes like shit but looks like ice cream.”

@DeborahLeagueFineArt I did try it. For a moment it was lovely with the creamy flavor people describe and then it tasted just like it smells and I spit it out.

@DeborahLeagueFineArt There is a reason that Singapore's Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) bans even transporting Durian; many hotels in Singapore, and elsewhere in South East Asia, also ban it, because, well, it smells like someone broke open a sewage pipe.

re-post: The more I read this, the more I am impressed with this professor's approach to the question, "how should the lives of innocent people be weighed against important military objectives?" I posted it this weekend but just re-read it and am so taken aback by its thoughtfulness. "[T]here are no easy answers to questions about how to weigh harms against civilians against the value of military objectives. But while answers are difficult, there is a different way to frame this question: What does it mean – not just legally, but morally – to treat all civilian lives as equal, as the law requires?" https://theconversation.com/why-all-civilian-lives-matter-equally-according-to-a-military-ethicist-218686

There is a wapo story about those gate agents derisively call “gate lice”. These are those who stand up early and mill about the boarding zone. The post’s reporter avers there is a deep seated psychological reason for this baffling behavior. Bollocks. <rant>The fucking airlines’ profit gouging is responsible. The fucking airlines take billions in government largesse and then jack up profits by flying environmentally dodgy smaller and shittier planes with less qualified, less empathetic, and ever more poorly paid staff whom they treat worse and worse, and by cramming more people into these festering shitholes in the sky. These planes have less bin storage and legroom so there is no place to put carry on. The fucking airlines then charge scores or hundreds of dollars to bring non carry on luggage and further fuck everyone by selling access to early boarding by flogging their fucking massively profitable credit cards whose high fees grant earlier boarding. The gate agents who mock and deride those passengers who are acting rationally by trying to board early enough to have hope of putting their bag in an overhead should shut the fuck up and stop viewing those who pay their salaries as deplorable. Want to know why there is rage in the sky? Because the fucking airlines made flying exclusively a humiliating, expensive, uncomfortable, rage inducing experience. Fuck them, fuck the gate agents, and fuck the hack at the wapo who tries to carry their water and fuck the wapo too. </rant>

Wow this is fascinating and counterintuitive: people don't just prefer sloppily wrapped presents, but they prefer what's inside the package "significantly" more when it is sloppily wrapped. What a COOL experiment https://theconversation.com/the-science-of-gift-wrapping-explains-why-sloppy-is-better-128506

@killyourfm this was one of the first things I noticed when I moved to Europe in my 20s: at social events and parties, “what do you do?l just isn’t a question that comes up. Or rather it will but much later in the conversation.

My father is rolling in his grave at the abject cowardice, the feckless surrender of integrity, the utter fucking depravity of these attorneys who have capitulated on the profession’s prime directive. Shame on them for advancing, as opposed to defending against, tyranny. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/business/trump-law-firms-kirkland-ellis-latham-watkins.html?unlocked_article_code=1._E4.1ovi.X8DMugqEbvuH&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

NYT: Thieves made off with jewelry of “incalculable” value in a brazen daylight robbery on Sunday at the Louvre Museum in Paris.The heist unfolded around 9:30 a.m. Laurent Nuñez, the interior minister, [said] the thieves had used a lift mechanism on a truck to break into the Galerie d’Apollon, a first-floor wing of the museum that houses a collection that includes the French crown jewels.The thieves breached a window with an angle grinder, broke into two display cases and fled on motor scooters with their loot within just seven minutes, according to Mr. Nuñez. He did not specify what exactly had been stolen, but said the jewelry had “patrimonial” and “historical” value that made it “priceless.”

Haha. We checked in to a hotel in Prague and when we did, one of our party had a US passport (the rest of us had EU). At 830 this morning two armed immigration police in body armor / load bearing vests knocked in a coply manner on the door of the room where our friend with the US passport was staying. The Popo spoke no English but demanded visa information, saying (understandably but incorrectly) that the person needed a visa to be in Czechia. The difference in how they were treated here versus how people are treated in America was that here, the immigration police listened and used Google translate to sort things out and ultimately left, satisfies tha no laws had been broken. Also, the immigration police did not hide their faces or their ID cards.When the US is beastly to all foreign visitors, this is the new normal.

Stop claiming that SOC is an information security certification. Stop treating SOC2 Type II as an indicator of anything other than achieving SOC2 Type II, a standard created and audited by accountants.

As I wrote in 2021, SOC2 provides a highly valuable set of data in an easy-to-consume form, but even its creators will tell you it was never intended to serve as the sole criterion for a risk-based decision - something that often happens.
