Realistically, that would get annoying pretty fast and I'd soon learn to hate any song I chose. So I'd pick 4′33″, which is four minutes and 33 seconds of silence.

But otherwise I'd pick "One Bad Tank", from the video game Left4Dead2. It's the song that plays when the boss enemy enters a particular map.

Unrelated anecdote:

Years ago I had a cheap Blackberry lookalike phone. It had a button lock feature to prevent butt dialing, but some bright spark decided that the lock wouldn't apply to the '9' and '1' keys, presumably so that a user could dial 9-1-1 even if too panicked to unlock the keypad. Which just meant that it was really easy to butt dial 9-1-1...

Someone once told me that time is a predator that stalks us all our lives. I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, and reminds us to cherish every moment, ...because they'll never come again. ...What we leave behind is not as important as how we lived. ...After all, Number One, we're only mortal.

to test whether cash payments can protect children from the toxic stress of poverty

The answer is yes. Obviously.

I keep seeing these pilot programs and small experiments in UBI, and they all prove that people prosper and thrive more when they have more money. Nobody is surprised. Was that ever even in question?

I want to see UBI experiments, plans, etc. that tackle large-scale implementation. We've proven "BI"; that was never the hard part. We need to focus on the "U".

The Linux Foundation is a 509(a)(3) support organization.

In other words, they provide legal and financial infrastructure to smaller open source projects that aren't big enough to justify their own foundation.

Mr. Kise suggested that “the defense will have to give serious consideration to seeking a mistrial.”

I guess this is a lawyer's version of telling people "I'm calling my lawyer" instead of just doing it.

Sure, but I'm complaining about metric system memes and such.
