How to prepare for a (mostly culinary) visit to Rome.

15 hours of exercise (mostly cycling).

2) No, you idiots. I am NOT the one to claim that Carlson did BS. HE is the one who, according to court records, did.

This friend of mine is considering having a bicycle shipped to a store (near a vacation place) that is hardworking but not sophisticated. The bike would be put together there & the fitting done locally.

How much does fitting matter? Sophisticated stores use fancy measurements.

Actually there is an intelligent criticism that was not voiced.

Guess what it would be.

This cyclist friend of mine is asking me to ask my Twitter friends if carbon wheels more fragile and more vulnerable to potholes?

What is missing?

"Do you have empirical evidence?" (Many fakes like @michaelshermer (https://nitter.moomoo.me/michaelshermer) miss the asymmetry that you can have logic without enpiricism, but no empiricism@without logic".

Anything else?

To be both honorable and scholarly, keep asking yourself if you like Truth more than you dislike your enemies, antagonists, or just people on the other side.

I am very, very tired of people telling me that TWITTER is a mess, and that, consequently, they must have it for FREE, while posting these intelligent statements on Twitter.

**Response to @nntaleb:**

I paid because I don't like to freeload or owe anything to anyone. The argument is even more potent if you don't like the owner.

I can't get people who pay thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of dollars for their car lease, country club fees, (rarely used) gym membership, etc. and, while spending a lot of time on TWITTER, refuse to shell out $8 for the service.

Despicable, domain dependent misers!

This cyclist friend of mine is wondering if someone of my Twitter friends has participated in Tour de Flanders Sportive or similar amateur rides/festivals, and what said friends would recommend.

"Language is largely made to show-off, gossip, confuse people, delude them, charm them, seduce them, scare them, and exploit them. And, as a side effect, convey information. Just a side effect, you fools."

Same with a FatTonysm:

You don't want to win the argument. You want to win. Not the same "ting".

PHILOLOGICAL QUANDARY

Philology friends,"Safi" (clear) in Farsi/Hindi/Urdu are said to come from Arabic صاف, but modern Greek is also Σαφή & said to come from Ancient Greek σᾰφές.

Given that they have the exact same modern meaning & nothing equiv. in Akkadian, I wonder. nitter.moomoo.me/i/web/status/164… (https://nitter.moomoo.me/i/web/status/1648003534686928899)

Past meetings have been great.

Marcos will discuss maximum ignorance probability, when you have NO meaningful background information.

I don't know if he will discuss max ent probability distributions but I can comment on them if he or others don't.
