Yet, when they're both fried, they both magically become "pommes frites," n'est pas?

Instead of AOC (however much I love her and her message) I'm thinking Whitmer would be better and has a great track record. Walz would be stronger than AOC, if they let him hammer 'em with his wit. Andy Beshear would totally freak the GOP out and would be a great choice.

 

The Reverse of a Framed Painting (in Danish: Bagsiden af et indrammet maleri) is a still life trompe-l'œil painting by Flemish painter Cornelius Norbertus Gysbrechts, made in 1670, when the artist was working as the official painter of the Danish royal court. The painting is commonly considered a masterpiece of trompe-l'œil painting for its deceptively sculptural representation of the back of a framed painting in a canvas.

As it turns out, being stupid is expensive!

No, that's crazy talk. We like to be surprised when we pay for taxes and tips.

Right. People with a gun in the house are more likely to be injured or killed by a gun, not less.

 

I’m a journalist. My job is asking smart people smart questions. Why not try “cheating” with Cluely to become a better interviewer? Who better to test this hypothesis on than Lee himself?

Hopping onto a Zoom call with Lee, Cluely doesn’t work like I’d imagined.

The human brain processes information by chunking - bundling up information into chunks to remember it. It's like a .zip file or compression on an image. That process is a bit lossy. If you've ever tried to write a technical document or a rules-set for a game, and had a user go through the document undirected, you'll see it in action.

The more complicated, technical, or tedious the instructions are, the more likely loss or misinterpretation will occur. A friend of mine says that writing a technical document is like programming a computer that skips every 7th line.

As a person who has written many of these, I've found ways to counteract / ameliorate their problems:

  • the use of paragraphing important points that you want feedback on
  • When sending to multiple people, but wanting feedback from a specific person, I bold, underline, and color their name next to their action item, so they know it's for them
  • Using checklists or bullet points
  • explaining things through multiple avenues, like with visual images and with text simultaneously

I hope this helps!

Well you'd get Hillary in 2008 instead of Obama - which might not have been terrible. Could she have beat McCain? Probably.
