Recovering academic now in public safety. You’ll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.

    Just plain raw potatoes out of a bag. They have a reputation for this and some groups of kids will be chanting " potato, potato, potato" before they even open the door. They were saying they may spring for full size russet baking potatoes for the enthusiasts next year.

    My BiL always offers the option of a potato over chocolate. There are a surprising number of takers. I should note he gets a couple dozen kids so he can spend time messing with them. I get several hundred thanks to the haunted house a neighbour two doors down sets up. My door is lime an assembly line.



  • This is the correct version.

    Tax cuts to the wealthy do not result in increased consumption of goods and services that would actually drive jobs and wages. It fuels “investment”, typically in the stock market, where the pool of money increases without necessarily shifting the underlying value in the market.






  • The KH was always supposed to be male. He would have access to paternal memories the way that Reverend Mothers have access to maternal memories.

    As an aside Hebert was operating under a theory in vogue in the 1960s that memory was coded in DNA. Women lack a Y chromosome so they had no access to male memories. The KH would have an X and a Y so he could see everything (ignore that Alia seems to have a copy of Baron Harkonnen, just a plot device that fucks everything up).

    Jessica’s daughter was to be bred with Feyd Rautha to produce the KH. So he arrived a generation early, and outside of the careful education/indoctrination program they had planned.

    Edited: all my KHs became KWs…because KW is a thing that deserves autocorrect?
