Richard Whitt: There was no plan of what Markel would look like today 28 years later. There have been the culture and principles of the Markel Style. #MKL2018 #BRK2018
This is very similar to how Buffett answers questions about his success. #MKL2018 #BRK2018
And is similar to an insight from the tour at @OWHnews. The newsprint business has been around a long time and all the tech and knowledge that goes into production of newspapers today has developed incrementally over the history of the industry. #MKL2018 #BRK2018
Do small things right every day. Ben Franklin: "Human felicity is produced not as much by great pieces of good fortune that seldom happen as by little advantages that occur every day." #MKL2018 #BRK2018

I'm gonna play Dork Souls II offline with a ton of mods and report. Please mute this thread if uninterested, it will get spammy and spoilery.
Mods used: Second Sin, SpeedDemon, Item Randomizer, Clean UI, Reshade with MasterEffect.
The first change you'll notice is a few steps into the tutorial. The Second Sin mod is an enemy placement mod. It replaces the harmless little critters in this zone with wheel skeletons! I have only played the 1st area on a burner character, so I dunno yet how hard it is.
Obviously, the only way to play such as challenge run is as a deprived with no gift.

This entire story deserves to be threaded & tagged. In posting, my focus is not to dwell on the past but look at #Today with critical #EyesOpen. It’s a reminder to #Vote and act for the #betterfuture of our country.

Here it is:

1/ Former Republican @MaxBoot spent eight years trying to stop Obama as an aide to both @SenJohnMcCain McCain and @MittRomney and as a longtime conservative columnist.

Boot, who is now a columnist for the @washingtonpost was never a Trump fan
2/ but he did write a column the day after the election in which he argued that a @realDonaldTrump presidency “might not be so bad” and encouraged optimism.

Now, in a new piece for the Post, Boot is prepared to say that, actually, it is that bad.

The cancellation of Roseanne gives me an unfortunately perfect peg to tweetstorm my lengthy weekend column on principles for doing free speech better. washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-par…
As always, I am not going to recapitulate the column--you will have to go to my employer's site, and read it, if you want to benefit from all the gorgeous turns of phrase and scintillating ideas I have hand-crafted specially for them.
This tweetstorm will only contain new material, specifically, remarks on questions or comments that readers had about the AWESOME, THOUGHT-PROVOKING column they had just read.

One of my biggest concerns with NGSS is that there is a lot of learning about energy. Energy is dangerous in science ed. bc it has frequently been used to avoid discussion and thinking. I'm going to talk about why that is and what can be done to mitigate this. /1
Energy is a mathematical shortcut to solve physics problems faster. The laws of motion result in some very convenient equations that make problem solving much easier. These equations are often conserved allowing us to make simpler calculations. /2
There is nothing that can be explained using energy that cannot be explained using position, motion, forces, etc. but often explaining using energy is much easier and with much less understanding/thinking required. /3

THE TRUE ORIGIN OF RESTAURANTS
Thread

Centuries ago, like now, there were hostels, posadas or taverns where food was served in exchange for money, as in a thermopolium in Rome (snack-bar) where we, readers of @LRB @TwitterBooks @nytimes @NewYorker @washingtonpost, would often go
After the #fall of the #Roman #Empire in these businesses food was served in shared tables and consisted of a fixed menu, according to what was already prepared. Even the nobility, like celebrities today, would frequent when traveling.
But, when did the concept and business of restaurants truly begin?
It began with Paracelsus (1493-1541), a brilliant Swiss physician who modernized medicine with rational clinical judgment and changed the way we eat in the #Western #world.

Do we want to continue watching prequels, or is the news too heavy? Ideally I will just watch Revenge of the Sith with minimal pausing. Also, it IS widescreen, so I'm less salty. #sithmas
I'm thinking back over Attack of the Clones, and the impression I get now is that Anakin is extremely whiny and childlike... on purpose. I find it more sympathetic if it's intentional, tbh. #sithmas
I went into it thinking, "this is a terrible love story," but maybe it functions--intentionally or not--more as the story of someone so insecure and emotionally stunted that he's an easy mark for corruption. #sithmas
