Evening on the lake

Sorry I have to quote tweet but blocked by quail friend (Whatever I did, it was probably deserved). Zheng Xiaoyu is my favorite cautionary tale of this stuff, but over the years I realized that it is basically impossible to explain to free market folk that you only create good.

Years ago was in Italy and was talking to geologists up there, and I asked them about if they still had the quarry that Michalanglo used, and they were like yes, and also its the same one the ancient Romans used, and also your mental image of some of the quarries is wrong, its

If you look carefully you can see their bending the knee

If your interested Young Center released their new Amish data this morning. @AccurateCaption.

Here is the link to the published work. As with all census stuff, its never a 100% accurate but as long as the same methodology keeps being used you can learn a lot.

With only a 10,000 person gain this was a lot less from the previous year that was 16,620 person increase which was just absolutely massively high compared to the previous several years, which has always made me suspect that the census strategy of finding all of the colonies and.

No new states add this year, keep expecting North Dakota, Vermont, or Alabama to gain a colony but didn't occur this year. Also surprised that Michigan lost Amish, has it has been growing pretty consistently for the last decade.

New Amish numbers from the Young center just dropped. Current population estimates are at 404,575.2024---25.Total pop 394,720---404,575.Penn 92,660--- 95,410.Ohio 85,965---86,365.Ind 65,540---67,310.Wis 26,365--- 27,535.NY 24,325 ---25,220.MI 20,690---20,090.

There is actually a way out, but you have to drive on some of the walking paths. So what will determine if they can escape is if a single one of them actually regularly walks in the park.

LOL, Seattle Parks actually followed through locked the park gate, trapping like 40 cars in the park until like 6am.

Monday meanderings

TIL that fragile X is caused by tandem repeats expansion just like Huntington's.

Don't like grey hair just get some Tamoxifen. Somewhere the people who do the cost benefit analysis for gender medicine are like that's a good idea, could be no downstream consequences at all.

Every time one of these stories breaks it always saddens me that we don't get more Shakespeare references.

Only 2:1, which makes sneaking through with a victory far less humiliating, then our 2018 loss to Trinidad & Tobago, which kept us out of the 2018 World Cup.

US soccer, where my favorite game is comparing our total number of kids playing soccer to the entire population of the country we are somehow struggling against.

I'm just imagining getting a time machine and trying to explain to my father in his youth that the South would have more total births than the Northeast and Midwest combined. Like it just would not be believable.
