Pope Fabian Ⅱ

Political extremists aren’t always the best at differentiating between correlation and causation. Let’s see how this plays out.

Do those things have the same Return On Investment?

Some times you’ve got to spend money to make money.

No way.

I received opiates after abdominal surgery only after I explained why my pain level was only stated as a 3 or 4 out of 10, if 10 was “The worse pain [I] could possibly imagine.”

2/10 is manageable temporarily but not chronically.

3/10 was the limit where I could hide it. It requires a lot of energy to maintain composure.

4/10 was where movement was restricted.

I can’t quite remember what five and six were.

7/10 means I can’t form complete sentences uninterrupted.

8/10 means I have mostly lost the ability to communicate and I begin to hallucinate.

9/10 means I am unable to understand where I am or what’s happening to me. It’s around this point where I have blacked out.

Never ask someone with a healthy imagination to work on a scale where the limit is the worst they can imagine. Besides, is the scale linear or logarithmic?

Some background for the unfamiliar:

“OP” is the abbreviation for “Ordo Prædicatorum”, or “Order of Preachers” in English, aka the Dominicans.

Saint Dominic is the founder of their order.

Thank you for looking at what I wrote and seeing humour rather than malice.

Your tea bag…

No, it’s not, because I use something other than tea bags.

That’s you. That’s what you wrote.

I’m having difficulty understanding your post but you’re on the right track with Active PFC causing issues with UPSs.

Hercule?

Ditto for the Y6239 problem for what must be a dozen of pieces of software that use the hebrew calendar, when it switches to five digit years.

Exactly. The baddies are called ‘terrorists’. The term the media uses to describe good terrorists is ‘rebels’ and sometimes ‘freedom fighters’.

I mean, yes, it technically fits the definition of manifesto, but the word that comes to mind a “blurb”.

I wonder if Ted Kaczynski or anyone else’s manifestos along anti-corporate-establishment lines are being censored. If not, maybe it’s because they’re a little less digestible. If so, then maybe some articles by Elizabeth Rosenthal could be posted.

What I’m reading here is that there’s a correlation between incomes which can afford bottled water and higher IQs which could be a result of any number of systemic factors.
