This is a hard-to-swallow indictment of a powerful editor and a take-no-prisoners publication (Rolling Stone).
The journalist tried to maintain the integrity of the story, but the editor omitted key facts because the story was about his friend.
Ultimately, the subject of the FBI raid, a journalist, was targeted because of child abuse and not because of his reporting.

I've just calculated that polished copper can condense water vapor at a rate 17X that of water itself.
So, if a cool, dry, polished copper surface was exposed to air with adequate humidity, it would begin condensing water.
If it was then wiped away and collected, it would continue attracting water at 17X the rate of the wet copper.
If true, that system could be a highly efficient source of water.
Today's condenser systems have the water dripping off, keeping the condenser always wet.

Imagine sitting on top of a mountain.
That's what I feel like when walking around my construction site in my condo.
It's an assessment of my accomplishment.
Bloody hands
It's dusty
A mess of tools
It used to be a fancy place where fancy people sipped fancy wine.
And it will be again.
But now it's mine.
It's my canvas.
And in the future, when the fancy people have returned and the fancy wine is pouring, I'll remember tonight when it was a mess.
A Lithuanian peasant made this.
Sip..
Incredibly petty.
"POTUS was dismissive of Georgia race when he saw him on Friday,” Lachlan Murdoch said. “He basically said Republicans shouldn’t vote because it’s all rigged anyway. And if he can’t win no one should.”

I'm starting to realize I have not accepted the fact I'm getting old.
Just got back from a startup networking event. I was the oldest there.
I walked 1/2 mile from the bus stop. My legs hurt.
I walked 3/4 mile to the bus stop coming home. My legs hurt.
I take a taxi home.
I've got a martini sitting next to me now.
