I think it only requires constant speed to sound right, rather than a particular speed. The absolute pitch probably depends on the tires, but the relative pitches will sound ok as long as the speed is constant. That person seemed to slow down in the middle.

his job as a pathologist was to give the clinician an answer

True story:

We were in the middle of a craniotomy for tumor, and the Stan, the neurosurgeon sent a frozen specimen down to pathology.

20 minutes later, "Hi, this is Dr. H in pathology. We have all looked at this specimen, and we think it's a meningioma."

Stan was an outspoken kind of guy.

"What the FUCK? You ALL looked at it and you THINK it's a meningioma? It's not that. It's in middle of this guy's brain. It's either an astrocytoma or a GBM!"

Dr. H: "Well, it could be that."

Not exactly confidence-inspiring.

Dr. Tom was in partnership with Dr. Joe. Dr. Tom was extremely well-liked, but he would drive you nuts. Also white-haired, but with metal rim half-glasses and that accent...You have to live down here to know it...That accent bespeaks old money and extremely well educated.

Dr. Tom graduated from Vanderbilt Medical School after completing his bachelor's degrees in Zoology and Fine Art. He was an accomplished sculpturer and painter. He taught at Vanderbilt Medical School after a brief foray into the private world. As his family became larger and older, he moved back home to the family's plantation and went into private practice with Dr. Joe and another path.

I don't know if I have ever heard him make a definitive diagnosis. It was always "suggests", "appears like", "is consistent with", etc.

Absolutely maddening...

I don’t find many of those listed to really be fake. Take the extreme home makeover controversy. A property makeover adds what? $50K to the property value? Maybe $100,000? That’s $500 to $1,000 more in taxes per year. Hardly a back breaker.

Far more likely? The financial difficulties and possible mismanagement that landed you in that situation to begin with doesn’t disappear just because your house is nicer. Far more plausible that they decided to cash in on the increase in value or still needed to sell because of their financial choices…

Right now, I'm also a little worried about copper production in the future...

He’s spending A LOT of time at the golf course…

That doesn't count as production?

Not every batch of 6th graders has a coach with a Superbowl ring.

Maybe throw him in with the goats after they haven't eaten for a few days?

@Jolly said in Throw the baby over the fence.:

The obvious cases are the easy cases. When you have a cancer on the body, you cut it out. Animals like these are a cancer on the societal body.

You can't ever turn these killers free. So give them a fair trial, let them appeal the verdict if they wish and if they are guilty beyond doubt, execute them.

That's not vengeance, that's simple justice.

Look at this from a different perspective...You are gone to work and your home is invaded by a couple of strung out losers intent on thievery and murder. Your wife grabs your child and runs, only to be dragged down, raped and stabbed to death. Not wanting to leave any witnesses, they cut your child's throat and laugh as the body twitches and heaves. You come home to find your world destroyed and much of what you love sprawled on the floor in dark pools of congealing blood.

This horrific crime is all caught on the house surveillance cameras and the police have the perps in custody within 24 hours.

At trial, there is no doubt of guilt. It is irrefutable that these two men are the murderers.

So, what is justice? To allow two animals such as these a life of incarceration? To know that what you love and hold dear, is gone from this earthly world forever, while these two fools' biggest worry is what the prison is cooking for supper? To clothe, feed and shelter them with mine and yours tax dollars, monies that could be spent for good, not for the continuance of Evil?

Nay. Justice would demand their lives be forfeit. Execute them and be done with it. Rats do not understand nuance nor should they be availed of it.

Your whole thing with the liberal woke nonsense is, "it allows my side to justify going lower," which is exactly the same thing. I don't want civil codes to be set by the worst of us, sorry.

The entire point of not executing them is that not doing so is better than they deserve.

Lad, a chaplain and a shot at deathbed repentance is more than kind.

Note that Jesus told the thief on the cross that he would go to paradise based on his belief, but the Son of Man did not bother to take the thief down from the cross.

Isn't that a bidet on the bottom left?

Oh, my demo version stopped working altogether. I was under the impression that the demo would run for 20 min or so, rather than just implode.

Oh well....

That’s are tons of Sears houses in town. They’re pretty universally in good shape for hinders plus year old homes.

He wasn't wrong... I definitely feel in the minority here. However, I haven't been here at all for what, 5 or so years, and am only just starting to lurk around again. Not much has changed, and yet, I still come back to you old farts.

Smarter Good looks. Superior policies.

We're hard to resist 😉

Didn't the Soviets throw enough money at this dead horse?

@Axtremus said in Finally! A great use for ChatGPT:

So … no complain about ChatGPT having any ideological or partisan bias here, right? Right?

They are doing something to avoid chatGPT’s self-moderation. I dare you to try to get those sorts of outputs from ChatGPT. Maybe they are doing word replacement for non political queries.
