Ok, so we need one or two more cars. At least.

@George-K said in Some photos: I'd never seen this footage. https://x.com/Breaking911/status/1701353042799448164?s=20 I believe the person who had that footage discovered he did only in the last couple years. Can you imagine how many thousands of 4K HD videos there would be today from cell phones everywhere?

Whatever happened to the "Gentleman's 'C'?"

Pretty much the highest profile case(s) that would get maximum attention. Same with the tax people go after a well known rich person for tax crimes. Probably bigger cases, but not bigger publicity.

@George-K said in The Truth About The Moonlight Sonata: But, speaking of Beethoven, let's look at the first 4 bars of Op 67. I wonder if it's popularity increased because of it's widespread use in WW2, particularly by the British and French. V for Victory! https://www.popularbeethoven.com/beethovens-fifth-symphony-in-world-war-ii/

Interesting. This isn't the final word in this case (which is really about off-label use). All that happened is that the 5th circuit allowed the lawsuit to proceed. The docs claim damage because FDA crossed the line (as the court said) between telling about and telling to. But was there harm caused to the docs? Yes, loss of privileges, academic positions and investigations of licensure. The plaintiffs were mentioned here: https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/topic/26111/ivermectin-again?_=1694516996434

I recall this care-distance/map topic a few months ago btw.

As every guy here knows, these 'teacher had sex with student" threads are WWOP. [image: 1694484430822-75280685-0-image-a-20_1694402402007.jpg]

You're the one laughing...

@Axtremus said in Pure Imagination: Not that the song is not beautiful, but calling it "the most beautiful" is overselling it. Agreed.

Good change. It sure changed the meaning of the next sentence: The convenience of training in my own space and the use of household items as equipment has been a game changer.

@taiwan_girl There is no good, commercially available solution that I know of at this time. Just need to wait for the technology to catch up.

@Mik said in You learn something new every day: No. You just have to swing. if you don't swing you take your base. You also have to at least show an attempt to avoid being hit or it has to seem like there was unavoidable…

@Axtremus said in The Flow of Money: Many deals announced between US and Vietnamese companies. Semiconductor, energy, avionics, and AI seem to be the emphases: https://www.reuters.com/markets/us-vietnam-firms-hold-business-summit-during-biden-visit-ai-deals-unveiled-2023-09-11/ Still, Vietnam remains a Communist-led, single-party republic. In that sense it's still very similar to China. :man-shrugging: Yup, but their not China. LOL. It gives the US a good "foothold" in SE Asia, and we can leverage that through the region (hopefully!)

Ok, wise guy. Caucuses, dammit.

@LuFins-Dad said in Student Loan Debt Among Senior Citizens: @LuFins-Dad said in Student Loan Debt Among Senior Citizens: Not at all. And I didn’t call it frivolous. Just limited in employment prospects. I don't even think that's true. Look around the room you're in right now. Everything you see was somehow touched by someone with an arts or humanities background. Everything. Even the gas that transports you to and from that place has some B.S. marketing copy attached to it at the pump, written by some jackass with a writing background. And the backing track on the YouTube ad that gas company created was written by a music major. The arts and humanities are viable as any STEM program. But they're limited in employment prospects because employment prospects aren't taught in those programs. People don't even know what they can do with those skills. In some cases it could be due to available positions in other cases it could be because of payscale vs investment. That doesn’t mean that these subjects shouldn’t be studied. I’m a believer in Liberal Arts Education for undergraduate degrees. I just feel that if somebody is pursuing a degree in musicology (as an example), that they should also be STRONGLY encouraged by the institution to get a 2 year degree equivalent or a minor in another field. Why not just teach them how to be more marketable with musicology? What no one teaches these people is that if you can think up a thing to do for money, and you propose that thing to someone else, and they agree, you have a job. There's an ex-public school teacher down in Nebraska who got burned out and quit. He decided to make photography his job. He doesn't do weddings, corporate headshots, lessons or sell prints. He pitched an idea to area hospitals, backed up by case studies he found who knows where, that scenic imagery patients are familiar with helps the healing process. So he goes out and takes bigass landscape photos and sells them as murals to hospitals and care centers. You're likely not going to find a photography program in the country that would teach you how to do that. If they did, more photography majors would be employed, they wouldn't waste their degree as much, wouldn't be looking to you to bail them out and there'd be no more talk of "worthless" arts programs. The subject matter isn't the problem, it's the lack of preparation they're given.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Good Evening, Vietnam: @89th said in Good Evening, Vietnam: Watching Trump throw the footballs made me miss having someone in the office who isn't a walking zombie. It's the old Obama interviews that make me hark back to the day when the President didn't resemble a Batman villain. Admittedly, in Biden's case it's more of a night of the living dead vibe. He's one pair of Coke bottle glasses away from always being Professor Frink in my mind. "Good news, everyone! Our economy is crashing."
