Re: The Red State Brain Drain Isn’t Coming. It’s Happening Right Now.

To me, it all boils down to the value one has for human life other than ones own. In my opinion, human life begins at conception; any other definition has logical difficulty if really thoroughly studied. Thus, I'm not for abortion except in a very few medically necessary cases. I'm not for anything ...

Vinny, FWIW, the Overcast podcast app I previously mentioned lets you make playlists of different episodes of all the different podcasts. The playlist can be as long as you want, hours and hours or more. That is one of the reasons why I like that app. Secondly, it is very easy to skip an episode if ...

Has anyone listened to the latest Lex Friedman podcast with Mearsheimer? I need to find three hours to listen to it. You can shave some time off if you listen at 1.25X speed. Doesn’t work for every interview, but it’s good for slow talkers. Just use the settings wheel under the video. Is that faste...
