Instead, I thought the real issue was that he got terrible advice on all fronts about everything. So the problem of yes-men only makes everything worse and is actually a tiny issue in a much bigger situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Chief U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz accepted the recommendation of both sides that he sentence Martin to time served because he is housebound in hospice care and is expected to die within the next few months. He requires constant oxygen therapy for chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder and had to be brought into the courtroom in a wheelchair. The loud hum of his oxygen machine echoed through the courtroom. Bold mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 What happened at the Hugo Awards Quote Without answers from McCarty, many Hugo enthusiasts have coalesced around two theories: either the awards committee miscounted early-round votes and realized their mistake too late, or the ineligible writers were censored under pressure from the Chinese Communist Party. unclevlad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DShomshak Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 From The Economist: The bad news is that climate change is forecast to reduce the area where current favored coffee spe ies can grosw. The good news is that there are losts of other species of coffee, with other favored climate ranges. Agronomists are hard at work studying them, with an eye to replacing/supplementing coffea arabica and coffea robusta, or crossbreeding to create a hardier plant.
