@tyghebright that reminds me too of Silja Sol, who I guess went back to the cafe she never really left? Her voice is right up there actually and figuratively.

@DJNoneYa How many Liz Trusses was that? Or did he just set the record?

Is the lettuce still edible is my question.

Great article. So many takeaways. This quote from her daughter:
Susan Francia is a two-time Olympic gold medalist in rowing. The sport has given her the perfect metaphor to relate to her mother’s determination: “In rowing, we’re also going backward. We don’t know where the finish line is, but we trust that it’s there and that we’re going to hit those goals.”

@BrianHjelleVirologist
She also had to push through a lot of institutional resistance.

Meanwhile: get your pre-order of her memoir!

I have a tall woodstove chimney and have to leave the stove open a few minutes (brrrrrr) and then start a _small_ fire and build it up. Or yeah, column of cold air floods down, puts out the fire and smmmmoke. Great way to start a day.

@CJLavoie Mine is to do the damned thing _with an extra cup of coffee_. Now where is Jeeves to make that coffee...
Jeeves!

@CJLavoie What to give the Me that has everything. It's a tough one.

@CJLavoie
Eat and drink. For sure.

When you start the chore, reward yourself however makes sense.
When one room is done, big reward! Back pats, you are the awesome-est! Champagne!

You get the idea; operant conditioning. Works for most animals and unless I miss my guess you are in the Family.

@th3j35t3r sure seems like someone(s) has him by the short hairs.

Awesome: Pharma companies begrudgingly agree to negotiate prices

Merck, AstraZeneca, Bristol Myers Squibb, and Boehringer Ingelheim have all said that they will agree to the negotiations, though some were clearly bitter about it.

If the drug makers reject the negotiations, they would either face an excise tax of up to 95 percent of the drugs' sales, or have to pull all of their drugs from the Medicare and Medicaid markets.
