   This is what health policy leadership has come down to in Texas: lead by riddle. What a mess. Just lead with human health and safety, in accordance with the best scientific evidence. Bring everything else (the economy, education, etc.) along with that. Stop leading by puzzle. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1273582982088003585/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/65650

   This week’s “Learning how to learn” subject is Procrastination.
   
   I almost didn’t look at it, because I was ten days behind my cohort and considered just dropping it. (They offered to allow me to re-sync with the nearest cohort, so I did so.)

     @lnxw48a1 While they may have video, the one consistent thing is they were all done in a public place. I could be wrong but most suicides I have heard about were usually done in private not public places. I have also not heard anything about notes being left behind. Something funky is going on.

     @geniusmusing I agree. Even the rapid conclusion that the cops keep reaching: "Oh, there's no foul play, this is suicide" seems scripted.

      I think it was finding "localhost" as the hostname. "hostname -f" was failing (for reasons I do not at all understand) but I fiddled a bit and eventually got "hostname -f" to report localhost. Once I got that, I just changed the order in /etc/hosts.
      
      and why the hell can't #uyuni just use the IP address????????

      I mean, I get that in a production environment you will want to use DNS and then you can do failover and such, but I think it's silly to enforce that.

      I already have the tires, so I I guess I am just looking for rim suggestions. I am pretty sure my tires are tubeless ready, but I need to double-check that.

      My GP is off globetrotting again, so today I consulted a young doctor who sported a shaved head and a beard. I couldn't concentrate on my own trivial maladies because I was fixated on the point where his shaved head stopped and his beard started, wondering how he'd settled on where that point should be. Some people have to carefully consider the optimal length of their inverse sideburns. Fashion is a curious thing.
