Naturally, there are activists pushing to allow social workers to make those amulets to streamline the process, but it's not likely to happen with a conservative president in power. *record scratch* What?!

Nobody has ever multiplied a number before, you must use addition which makes no loving sense in this context.

I've got two problems with this. First, it's uniform in latitude/longitude which means that the upper states are going to have smaller area than the lower states. The second is that you have to commit and do the earthworks to make the ground fit the grid. Over all, C-, see me after class.

Der Mond (m) - La Lune (f). חה חה חה, I laugh at you in Hebrew, another gendered language which is also inconsistent with both of those.

Paladinus posted:I don't mean to dunk on you for that, but it's funny to me that despite their having pronouns right in the twitter name, and your clearly following them on twitter, you still managed to use the wrong pronouns. Woah, that's embarrassing! I used to follow them but unfollowed quite a while ago so I guess my brain kind of filtered out the contents of the current name. My brain's also in a "Hebrew name parsing mode" when I encounter a Hebrew name, and there's not really a good way for gender neutral in that language, which probably didn't help. I'll try to pay closer attention next time.

ultrafilter posted:People who do econ-adjacent stuff are much more into the behavioral side of things. That's particularly true in the business schools, where you really can't ignore deviations from perfect rationality. I think econ is very early in the process of splitting into two fields, one which is more theoretical and one which is more applied, but it's hard to say exactly how that'll play out. Most of the money is going to go to those who push the low regulation and low social spending line until Koch is nationalized.
