    @Horace said in Your mid-week musical interlude. (Hope you like drums.): i have a follower on YouTube, so I know what it’s like to have 4 million, by a simple process of extrapolation. It’s pretty awesome. It's my bot account. It crawls for Apple fanboi insider info so consider yourself a sufficiently informed source. Anyway, I like how he didn't really overplay it. Sure he went nuts here and there but where appropriate; it was still the song as recognized. He gets a lot of crap for often playing that which "would never work as a song," which is often true, but he's not playing songs in those contexts, he's making a video. When he does band stuff he plays what makes sense.

    As CEO of the $4.9 billion revenue electronic medical records giant, Judy Faulkner is one of the most powerful people in healthcare.

    Wow. That’s gotta be super rare. People find unexplored munitions in 80 -100 year old war zones with some frequency, but for them to spontaneously explode is rare AF.

    I had my teeth whitened by a cosmetic dentist a few months ago. She asked me if she could put a before-after picture on her website. I said yes, but I reserve the right to revoke permission when search/AI are collectively smart enough to trace it back to my name.

    https://wgntv.com/news/highland-park-parade-shooting/highland-park-parade-shooting-robert-crimo-iii-court-10022024/ For the second time in as many months, the man accused of opening fire on attendees at the 2022 Independence Day parade in Highland Park, killing seven and injuring dozens more, failed to appear for a scheduled court appearance. Judge Victoria Rosetti warned attorneys representing Robert Crimo III that if he doesn’t appear at his next court date, proceedings will continue without him and he will waive his right to confront any witnesses against him. Crimo last month refused to leave his jail cell when informed by corrections staff that he was due in court. Crimo has not appeared in court since June when he rejected a plea deal.

    @taiwan_girl said in Cutting The Money: Hard to justify the same salary if the audience is 1/2 (and probably advertisements are also ~ ½) Right. And that's why so much of the WNBA bitching (can I say that?) about salaries is ludicrous. You get paid for putting people in seats, or people tuning in. You can't draw an audience (even if it's not your fault) or fill a stadium, there no reasonable explanation why you should be paid the same as Brokaw or Michael Jordan.

    I’ll probably go back to storing a couple hundred in 20s in a well hidden spot when I move in to my house next month.

    Take acting advice from Hanks, but not parenting.
