4/10. AI is terrifying.

@wtg said: So Faulkner was right. https://connectedeventsmatter.com/litera/literature/literature-and-meaning/my-mother-is-a-fish-modern-reflection Now I want to read the novel. I'll put it on my bucket list.

It's one way of drawing a line of some sort after Hamas murdered 3 Brits and 11 Americans along with another 1300. We can't punish everyone who participated, but the leaders of such a massacre ought not escape. What now? I can't imagine anything good happening soon.

I beg to differ. The law per se legitimately regulates contracts. If you start with the assumption one party is following the law in a contract and the other party isn't you're really not describing justice. I don't care that a 3 day eviction notice happens to be convenient for landlords. You could make the notice 0 days in theory.

@Daniel said: China and Iran are allies. I don't see the two as having much in common, other than that they both see the USA as some sort of opponent.

A exec with a local ski resort said of the Hispanic labor at the resort, "They are easily trained, like good German Shepards." Don't think he is still with the resort.

Thank you. This reminds me I need to have a imaging and also start physical therapy or doing exercises. My hip on the right side has hurt a long time and the left side started hurting after I fell off the fence. I sure hope I never need hip replacement. Urg.

@AndyD That view!

He seems pretty consistent to me. Calls out nonsense when he sees it. I think he's likely more in tune with the population than Dem leadership.

"And that, is kosher." In the vernacular, no? Lol.

Iran has its say. Link to video

She's complaining about money. Wow. Link to video

@wtg And from what I've read, it cannot be deleted. Basically, an untrustworthy company has stolen 4GB of storage from those people's devices. If Google was honest they would have an opt-in option. But they're not honest, and that's a problem.

Edward R. Murrow lived in a large colonial house in Pawling NY. This mid-century world of media giants is dead.

If I am a Medicare-approved provider now, I am restricted to receive no more money than the Medicare-approved amount for any given service. If this Rand Paul bill were to become law, then the smart move would be for me to stop being a Medicare-approved provider -- because that allows me to keep serving my existing patients and still be able to get at least the Medicare-approved amounts for services I provide, but also allow me to ask (some of) my patients to pay me more. This bill will likely eliminate the incentive for any provider to remain Medicare-approved. As eccentric as some of the old Ron Paul's view points were, I never really doubted that 'ol Ron knows economics. I don't have quite the same level of confidence with Rand.

Interesting observation. Makes sense.
