What we are assuming is that ravens are black--which means that all nonblack things are ravens, by definition.
ita, above, did you mean to say, "which means that all nonblack things are NOT ravens, by definition."?
Yup. If I'm really, reeeeeeally lucky, I have just six more days to go, and I'm now officially allowed to leave the apartment and go out and about, provided I don't pick up anything bigger than my head and that I go back home and lie down afterwards.
Excellent! Well, that's an overstatement, but it's positive, and a move toward freedom. I wish it was more for you, but I'm glad it's something, JZ.
OTOH, I've just crawled my way out of a three-day bout of severe intestinal distress, I'm down two pounds again, and right now I feel like one of those YouTube kittens with the head-bobbing and the toppling and the utter bonelessness. (Which I also pointed out to the OB, since one of the best ways of dealing with said distress? Physical activity.)
Intestinal distress can spook OBs, because it can irritate the uterus.
Are you 33 weeks now?

33 weeks as of yesterday.
Intestinal distress can spook OBs, because it can irritate the uterus.
Well, bother the OBs. My uterus is fine, and I wouldn't have had the distress if I hadn't had almost a week of, ah, um, the opposite problem as a result of LYING DOWN 18 HOURS A DAY FOR AN ENTIRE MONTH LIKE THEY TOLD ME TO.
OK the article ita linked has confused me.
Dr Esponda gives the example of a negative survey in which respondents are asked to tick the box of one sexually transmitted disease they do not have. e reckons that this would be sufficient to estimate the population frequency of each disease.
OK. I don't get this. You have a survey with the following choices:
1) I don't have the funny syphilis.
2) I don't have lobsters.
3) I am not carrying/did not father the anti-christ.
In a survey of 25,000 peole, 33% select 1, 60% select 2 and 7% select 3.
How does this tell you the prevalence of any or all of the three?
YAY for even partially mobile JZ.

The flopsy asleep picture on Tom's shoulder? So darn cute. Parents are freaky and off-putting but a really cute darn pictures.
I just realized that I am leaving town Friday morning. Thus I should, dunno, pack? prepare to leave? do laundry so I actually have clean clothes to pack? eat something? buy my sister some freaking baby presents?
UPDATE on last night's movie ad triggered crime notoriety question! The ad for Hollywoodland says it's "Hollywood's most notorious case" or whatever. Hence Black Dahlia claiming the state of California.
All becomes clear.
Oh, for fuck's sake. One of my half.com items apparently never got to the buyer. This pisses me off because it's one I hated to part with and would rather have kept -- now I'll be out the book AND the money.
