There are both Respirologists and Pulmonologists who work at the Cancer Hospital where my spouse works. She's not certain as to how the two professions differ as she has little to do with them on her case load which is almost exclusively head and neck cancer patients.

Most of it will be produced in your last couple of years.

Mexico had just such a crossing in the late 19th century until the canal was built. So did Panama for that matter. I checked and this new one has approximately 10% of the capacity of the canal. Probably makes sense as overflow for perishable or seasonal goods when the canal is backed up but not as a competitor under normal circumstances.

@mik Interesting. I did not know the background story to that. When I was in Austria last year, I took a picture of the "Austrian Aldi". I knew the symbol was an Aldi symbol, but was wondering why the name was different. Turns out that the Aldi South guy bought the Hofer supermarket chain in Austria a lot of years ago, and while it is basically an Aldi, he kept the Austrian name. [image: 1777226827945-img_0800.jpg]

@Horace said: No doubt motivated by his disappointment with his own recognition as an important intellectual. I've had the same problem. I'd write a blog about it but nobody would really understand.

@bachophile Ah okay. Thanks!!!

A good (serious) website that goes through candidates is www.politics1.com Fun to scroll through looking at there various candidates. Here are a couple running for president: Sammy "Antichrist" Garrett Unfortunately, while he has filed to run for president, I cannot find any information on him Bruce Kenneway The first thing I will do as president is to work with Congress to pass, then I will sign, the #TakeBackAmericaAct , which cancels the 1965 Immigration Act. Failing that, if I fail at that, I will sign an Executive Order making the, Take Back (the United States of) America Act, the law of the land, where (genetically) White People may become citizens of our blessed United States of America as our Founding Fathers intended. Because White People built, and settled the USA, we have legal standing to codify the: Take Back (the United States of) America Act. Bruce Kenneway #Kenneway2028 Have a nice day Bryan Arrington from Texas So Far this year I have joined talks about, The current government shutdown (give registering migrants full or partial healthcare, The now working Peace Treaty or Ceasefire in the Israel-Palestine War and methods of ending the Russian-Ukraine War, Indigenous and Black Lives matter, Christian Persecution in China and Africa (Nigeria) Sudan, Taiwan, The American Border Crisis, Human Trafficking, fentanyl in our drugs killing people, and people in general minding their own business, School shootings, gang violence, caring for homeless and Veterans. Supporting the feminist (women's rights movements), Support for the LGBT Community, Supporting Streamers and Adult Entertainment Industry, Supporting Mainstream Entertainment Industry, Animal protections and rights, Prison reform, and Cannabis legalization, and space exploration and cures for genetic diseases and other illnesses and injuries as well as renewable energy sources that take less strain to build and operate and pollution/trash cleanup. I cannot do everything alone and I do need signatures and support for the FEC state filing fees so I can have ballot access not just be a manual write in candidate like last year although some states should have given ballot access but did not have working emails by their secretary of states and did whatever they could to deny me access. but they showed me even more how far they will do to take the election. Even arresting me last year shortly AFTER an hour after voting while I was live streaming on Instagram and X. I have no interest in retaliation (I DONT CARE AND i AM MORE MATURE THAN THEM) I just want to do what's right for the American People and Our friends and allies and build better relationships with those we do not align with. Mostif not 98% of my campaign will be SAFE FOR WORK (SFW) AND SOME of my campaign will have NSFW content on appropriate sites in the appropriate areas, yes models and Porn stars and other sex workers are voters and support our country and I respect most of their work and can use their voices and voted to make America better than ever. Former inmates can also get their voting rights restored and many homeless people are still able to vote and their lives matter despite their past if there is a real chance for recovery. I know that everyone will not have the best life no matter what be we can offer the ability to change, improve, grow, evolve, physically, mentally, and spiritually. GOD BLESS US ALL AMERICIA AND WORLDWIDE. There IS ALWAYS A WAY. #FAILUREISNOOPTION My potential starting 7 for my Cabinet team as many more names will be added #RestpeacefullyTameraStringer (Treasurer) Cherunda Fox from Michigan No racial, social or financial history in this country was made without using name in vain, the last 29 years. This is about a 41 year divorce burn and marriage fraud due to Battered Wife/ Women Syndrome that created our national debt of 41 Trillion dollars. Democrats spent 20 Trillion and not to be outdone, Republicans spent 21 Trillion. They said they were spending ths money to help me, yet nothing has changed for the better in my life since 1997, Congress+the President(s) since 2000, who signed those bills so far, stole 123,000.00 per man, woman, newborn+child since 1998. 123,000.00 times 365 Million Americans is 41T without 28 years of interest calculations. I guess it's a total bill of 300,000,00 each man, woman and child in America. Monetized hatred of women, through hatred of me through group Battered Woman Syndrome participated in by women and men politicians of both major parties since 1987-1988. 1998, that's when Hillary had Bill pay the deficit off to 0. To see how much my Batters would steal to sexually discriminate against me by blowing up the federal bldg up on 4-19-95, in Oklahoma City to deny me a new start. All of this for 250,000.00 settlement from a federal court in Detroit, Mi. on 4-28-95 on Helena Kagan's 35th birthday. There are no coincidences in my life. You see, it was both Parties who wanted to punish the American taxpayers for me blessing their politicians with job recommendations. You can see it. There's 1,143,765.86 due per American man, woman, child and newborn as these are borrowed pension funds from China, compound interest. If Trump/Kushner passes out 20,000 per person, that bill goes up to 1,343,765.85 per person. Some of these people make our current leaders seem almost sane! 555

"While doing a minor bugfix of my DAO layer, Opus built an uncalled-for test that ran a 100k iteration stress-test on my DB, printing a trillion lines of useless noise, which Opus happily loaded into context. 31 MILLION TOKENS FOR A THREE MINUTE BUGFIX." did not understand one word in those sentences. well, maybe a few words here and there, "while doing", got that. i think i know what a "test" is. "printing" yes i know what that is. "happily" what i feel occasionally, other than that, nada.

@Axtremus said: Germany with its famous "German engineering," India with its army of IT professionals, Japan with its dominance in high-end consumer electronics, South Korea with its humongous electronic component manufacturing capacities, the UK and the entire European Union with their combined economic might ... it's like they don't exist in the global AI tech race. It's true, and the depressing thing is that nobody cares. It's a non-topic. Not the politicians, not the media. As if AI wouldn't influence our future.

Russian "Chopsticks." See if you can get to Rimski Korsakov's contributions; those are quite masterful. Link to video

Good.

That is cool. It's one of those "wait, that is an obvious solution" things once you hear about it... makes total sense.

Allegedly, you become noseblind to something after a few minutes. It's a natural defense. Let's hope it worked in her case.
