An impossible definition about enclaves
So it starts with a video about Kaliningrad and how 79% of voters voted to leave Russia. It was a small turnout for the poll, but nonetheless, I believe this is important. This leads me to look it up on wikipedia where it is called a semi-exclave. I am a geography nerd, but this surprised …
Federal law is supreme
We are once again seeing a litigation on whether states can infringe on Federal law. This is a very simple case, really, and the Supreme Court will almost certainly find that states may not violate federal law. agreeing with the Fifth Circuit. I will be surprised if the Supreme Court even hears the case, given …
Job hunting
I sent over 100 applications to jobs relevant to me yesterday. I have already received an email asking about an interview.

Paid leave in the United States
The fact that the United States doesn’t have Medicare for all gets a lot of attention, and we absolutely need to cover the 10% of Americans who don’t have health insurance. But most (maybe 75%) Americans won’t see a major change if we get universal health care, besides an extra thousand dollars yearly. That would …
A massive lesson in Stellaris
I was playing a game of Stellaris on my computer today and as I was conquering an authoritarian regime to turn them into my vassal, I found myself at war with a horde similar to Genghis Khan, Hitler, or Putin. I pushed them back to the point where they had only one planet left, and …
