Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Fossil Fuels: The Great Hoax. Interesting theory and if true could make lab made synthetic oil possible too.
- From the archives: Farnam Street on how to do great things.
- Make the best sausage possible.
- Ross Dellenger on Texas Tech: Texas, oil, and football. Long but interesting read.
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Science policy without science or policy. I'd like to see a DOGE-like accounting of what made up all those cuts. I want more science but not tax dollars spent of excessive university overhead in grants, DEI related studies, or funding putting beagles in cages to be eaten by fleas.
- Ross Dellenger on Bill Belichick at UNC.
- Ultra processed food may not be the real dietary villain. Should be pointed out that food ingredients in the UK are different to what's allowed in the US. Think good advice is just to shop on the outside of a supermarket. (HT Newmark's Door)

- Ross Dellenger on the effect the transfer portal has had on college football starting QB's
- Interesting: Ivermectin should be given to all advanced breast cancer cases.
- Latest poll from Nate Silver has Dems nervous. Maybe they'll be so disheartened they'll stay home on election day.
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Not sure about you but I'm rooting for Joe Kennedy "the praying coach"
- Jimmy Buffett's obituary in the NY Post. Wish I was at the Margaritaville in Hollywood FLA getting drunk on Landsharks watching college football. Think that's what he would have wanted.
- Ross Dellenger on how the ACC added Stanford, Cal, and SMU
