@Doctor-Phibes said in The No Tax On Tips Act: Here's the President getting a 15% tip. Tip? Shit, he’s getting the whole thing.

@89th said in What’s happening in Loudon County?: It is possible they were at capacity even if there are empty chairs. Depends on the rules for the room/building. Sure. And the refusal to allow entry to people because their handbags were too large? When they were perfectly legitimately in the sizes allowed?

Right healthy, that one.

Yeah I'll pass on this job, too. https://packaged-media.redd.it/iqshf4crb32f1/pb/m2-res_854p.mp4?m=DASHPlaylist.mpd&v=1&e=1747846800&s=71eb1ddf2b27b43e41f4c99611ce85c82799b103

I try to avoid the news, but it's really exhausting spending any time trying to figure out how these folks got their jobs. The whole administration could use a viewing of a youtube "civics 101" course video. Like the President thinking the Declaration of Independence is a "document full of unity, of love".

It's reassuring to see that some things about the GOP haven't changed.

Seems to me this is why we need inspectors general. You know, the ones Trump fired.

"Hey man, where you Putin that thing?"

I've walked right by it and been unaware.

@jon-nyc said in The Slate truck: It still has the problem of the small intersection on the ‘wants a truck’ / ‘wants an EV’ Venn diagram. Solution to that has been around for some time already. It’s called the Nissan Frontier Pro4X.

Getting closer to Skynet.

Good point. Thanks for the tip @Axtremus

Wonderful photos and memories, LD. My congratulations to you all.

@Renauda said in Biden's taint is ill: @jodi said in Biden's taint is ill: @jon-nyc said in Biden's taint is ill: Trump’s message was classy. For real. Agree. My dad had prostate cancer, they caught it early, did the surgery and told him likely something else would kill him before it did. He developed Frontotemporal dementia and died a few years ago. Following PSA screening in 2018 and a bioposy in 2019, I was diagnosed with a Gleason 6 prostrate cancer. A subsequent MRI scan and another (ugh) bioposy a more aggressive garden of cancer cells were detected. Choice was surgery or radiation. I chose the former and the surgery was done in early June 2020. After now five years my PSA level has remained at .01 . Will do this year’s follow up PSA test sometime in June or July. Anticipate that everything will be A okay again. Early detection through screening was the key. For me it was totally asymptomatic. Glad they caught yours early!

A drop in the ocean of legal CYA that goes on in any medical provider's office every day. Doesn't mean the law is bad. Laws everybody agrees with, can also motivate perverse CYA behaviors.

@Klaus said in The first International Math Olympiad: Is this just for fun or do you want to make a living with it? If it's just for fun, I'd specialize in some absurd, highly theoretical branch of mathematics with no applications in the next 300 years, such as higher-dimensional category theory or homotopy type theory or algebraic topology. If you want to make a living: Probability/statistics and then make $$$ in the AI industry. I am sort of curious whether there's such a thing as a job market for someone in their mid 50s with a fresh degree in the next big thing in tech. Curious enough to actually find out.
