    Based on recent history, I don't expect any government or ruling regime which has (or is close to developing) nuclear weapons will ever again voluntarily give them up.

    Followed Google maps' directions instead of following my own preferred route. Got the truck stuck in mud for over an hour before two passers by helped.

    All my clothes from today are covered with mud.

    @fu Transferss between various state owned institutions (University of California [which is constitutionally required], California State University [which were originally teacher training "normal schools"], California Community Colleges) are pretty automatic. And having attended both CC and CSU campuses, I'd recommend taking every possible CC course before transferring to CSU.

    It was leaving California to attend a private campus in another state that caused the issue. My impression was that they'd have rejected credits from "USC":{https://www.usc.edu/} and "UCLA":{https://www.ucla.edu/}, too.

    @fu More likely, NYTimes has a more restrictive robots.txt file and rate limiting firewalls than the local paper.

    @simsa04 Astute observation. I don't see a lot of "Russian fragmentation will happen regardless of the war's outcome" discussions. People seem to reserve that consequence for a clear Russian defeat, and as you point out, a defeat is not necessary for the state to fragment.

    One thing the rulers of such statelets (subpartitions of #Russia) will have observed is how #Ukraine giving up nukes made it susceptible to invasion by its neighbor. So I would expect those leaders to be exceptionally resistant to nuclear non-proliferation efforts.

    @gnu2 I am currently staying in a hotel in #AL, but I live in a house in #CA ... or in #MO ( #GS3 asked me when I am coming back home ). In a week or a month or a few of each, I will return home after my assignment is done.

    ( Current thinking is about three or four more weeks until I leave. )

    I saw an ad for a service like this. It might have been "Do Not Pay" itself. My first thought was that if $COMPANY hides the unsubscribe information, DNP may not be able to help.

    #California food company (companies?) warned after infestation found in their warehouse.

    _Warned_ ? Based on what they describe in the article, the company should have been closed immediately and all their products destroyed. And a mandatory recall, of course.

    This sort of thing is part of the reason we have federal regulatory agencies in the first place. Do your job!

    @fu I think I heard of Advanced Placement (AP) courses around the time that we were looking into colleges for one of the kids. Depending on which kid, that was probably around 1996 or a decade later.

    1st son chose to attend the local community college, but after two weeks, he dropped out and joined the military. The middle and high schools where 2nd son and half son attended had something even better than hybrid courses that counted for college credit: students could take real college courses and get high school credit as well as college credit. 2nd son did that and probably accumulated about a year's worth of college credits. (Then he went to a college that did not have an articulation agreement with the California community college system, so they did not accept his credits.)

    For the record, half son was unmotivated (he believed he was too stupid for college) and I was working out of town most of the time, so he didn't sign up for college until he was out of high school, and then he dropped out during the first semester.

    Cute overload: picture of #GS4 asleep with a "Captain Barnacles" stuffed animal ("Octonauts" TV show). He did not watch or pay attention to TV when I was there, but he visited the other grandparents for a month and was forced to watch television.

    This assignment is only a week old and it already seems to be winding down. In part because the facilities I am supporting may not be needed after all. There was room at another facility, but S and another person are coming to fill those spots.

    The proper \@question is whether other Roman Catholics consider sedevacantists to be part of their same faith. I suppose it could depend upon which papal doctrines and practices they considered heretical or apostate.

    In the example I saw earlier, it seems that the OP considered Pope Francis to be heretical for seeming to agree with Martin Luther (founder of the Lutheran Church) that salvation is by faith and not by works. Not having read what the Pope said, I cannot even say that he agreed. It could easily be a “we disagree, but we’ll wait until the afterlife to see which is correct” situation.

    I suppose I should start by reading what Martin Luther wrote. Assuming that I am curious enough to do so, of course.

    One assignment, I was staying at a certain hotel. There was a young man 👨 staying on the top floor whose parents paid for him to stay there. He wasn’t hostile or anything, but he wasn’t friendly either. I returned to that same #hotel two or three years later, and he was no longer there.

    #TIL that some Roman Catholics reject the Pope and hold that the papal chair is vacant due to heretical beliefs.
