@klaus said in "Nurse? The President is on the line for you....": Is it wrong for a president to get some direct feedback about a situation rather than getting everything via others? Of course not. But, frame it in this context: President hears that his friend;s SO is having trouble getting care because of all the COVID cases clogging up the ER. President calls and says, "Hey, what's goin' on there? My friend's SO is there and things are taking a long time." Do you think some skids would get greased? Of course they would.

Those same folks that wanted the government out of the bedroom, suddenly want them back in?

My daughter's Ford C Max was t-boned last week and is now totaled. No worries, she was sore for a day but is fine now. BUT the real kicker is that, because of the price increase in used cars, the insurance is giving us more money for the car than what we paid for it. Now, the hunt is on for another used car.

Sad

Nothing exciting. A new set of grips for my Jericho. For those who do not know what a Jericho is... [image: OIP.Pb1dp1e24SbkXDmxnZ2yEgHaFG?pid=ImgDet&dpr=1.5]

You ain't gonna get an answer...

One other consideration - when you get estimates for the work compare the cost against what more you can get by adding that amount to your furniture budget. It's easy to focus on built-in features in an empty room, but they tend to go out of focus a bit in a furnished room. But if they clash with your planned aesthetic... just change them, else it'll keep bugging you.

@axtremus said in The NFAC Militia: The leader John Fitzgerald Johnson calls himself “Grandmaster Jay.” Presumably because he was worried that calling himself Grandmaster Johnson might sound a bit ridiculous.

It's the Biden Bump! C'mon man!

I don't think I've ever had a Gibson of either sort. Gin with onions. Hmm.

At Mount Vernon, it was called "The Necessary." I wonder what conversations went on there. [image: 1633694360422-img_4204-copy.jpg]

https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/a36903122/right-to-repair-fair-repair-act-2021/ The article claims that half the states have considered “Right to Repair” legislation. The article itself is not all the good, but it links to many other articles that I find interesting, particularly: one that talks about the military procuring equipment that are hampered by repair restrictions hospital equipment, a situation made more dire by COVID-19 John Deere’s broken promise, one designed to stall “Right to Repair” legislation for three years three years ago and now remain unfulfilled On the consumer electronics side, you’ve got Apple, Inc. as the poster child for “Right to Repair” problem (but it’s actually common across the entire consumer electronics industry). On the farming equation side, it seems it’s always John Deere that’s the problem poster child.

Its hard for me to get too angry at a random type 1 error committed by an automated process that reacts to probably tens of millions of images per day, every day.

No, that takes careful interviewing, empathy and perception. You wouldn’t understand.
