Tip that could maybe save a life: If you can't find a doctor with a particular specialty who's taking new patients, go to your local undocumented immigrant community and talk to them. You will find the best doctor you've ever seen; they do not take insurance but their prices will be reasonable.

You know what AI should be theoretically capable of doing that I think would be the highest and best use for the technology? Decipher the Voynich Manuscript. While they're at it, do the Phaistos Disc.

There's going to be a version of the PS6 that will be a handheld capable of playing at PS5 quality. This is going to be a HUGE game changer for the industry. But unless the AI bubble pops, anything with RAM and SSDs in it is going to be so expensive that casual gamers won't bother trying them.
mtswI'm 40 and in terms of video games, not really a ball-knower anymore — what is the thing that the PS5 cannot do that the PS6 will do that will justify a $1000 upgrade?

It's my daughter's birthday today! She started special education preschool when she was 3. At that time she was non-verbal and unresponsive to stimuli. She didn't know when she was hungry or thirsty or needed a diaper change because she had to be taught to pay attention to her body. Because ADHD.

The All- Time best one of these was when Jason Giambi hit one in the bottom of the 14th inning in a rain storm. He was going to be the last batter because of the rain, any other outcome and the game was over.

A fascinating object lesson in this is the career of J. Ogden Armour, who became one of the richest people in America by selling canned food to the Army during WWI; invested in packing plants and canneries as is if that demand would always be there; and lost everything, dying essentially bankrupt.
Lee HurleyIf war means everything is more expenive, why are all the companies making record profits? Seriously. This isn't even subtle in the slightest.
FUN FACT: Pursuant to CPLR § 2103(b)(5), if you include a fax number in a signature block in any paper you file in a case, that constitutes consent to service by fax of all papers in the case, and yes I've had attorneys serve discovery demands that way in the past year.
