$50 million should build a nice house.

The Duck of Death

Brilliant!

On the positive side, Phase 3 should allow you to handily defeat the Chinese with an army of terminators.

White progressives have very successfully seeded and propagated paranoia in black culture. This is apparently a kindness to them. You'll have to interrogate the mind of a white progressive to discover the reasoning behind the notion that this paranoia is a good thing. Just don't expect much in the way of reasoning from that bunch. Only feeling.

Yep. a classmate of mine is mayor of my home town. It has thrived under her leadership, despite the constant carping of do-nothing residents.

More like 50 years.

I do think Biden gets it. He just needs to educate the American public who drank the media kool aide for the last 5 years that Russia is Darth Vader and China’s imperial aspirations were a hallucinogenic construct of bad orange man.

Don't think you can turn the ship that fast...

Illegal immigrants > U.S. citizens.

@mik said in The EHR makes you work harder:

The problem is that the vast majority of data collected by all this effort is worthless. It is still difficult for physicians to see patient records from other health systems, and most would not if they could...only in really difficult situations is it of potential value.

Hell, when I was in the hospital for the leg infection in 2019 I could tell the majority of hospitalists had not even read my chart that was right there.

No, all this effort is about bean counting for the gummint.

Preach on, brother!

Mr. Obama gave us a fuckin'. And surprisingly, I think he meant well. He just listened to a lot of people that didn't have a clue how front line medicine works.

Just another data point about how people really want their healthcare....govt run not so much

In Boston, my mother and sister had the option to go to a government site

They were afraid to go to the neighborhood where the shots were offered - it was in a a high crime area is the reason. The high crime area is better for politician photo ops

So they went to the suburbs and a non-government site

My high school knows how to do this, no government needed

When does all this apply to China? Or do we talk about C02 per individual all day long and continue to give them competitive advantage until they rule the world economy?

Oh and we will sweep human rights under the carpet because that is not something nation states have any right to meddle?

The Ufizzi went online a couple of years ago. This is what we have to look forward to with the Louvre.

Going to museums is a top adventure for me, always has been.

That study seems to (so far) have steered clear of the possibility to let chance decide — e.g., just throw a virtual dice and let a pseudo-random number generator decide. I suspect an option like this will appeal to the religious/spiritual people, or generally people who believe that this is such things as “fate” or some “higher power”. Moreover, for systems dealing with inherently hard-to-decide problems where the notion of “fairness” is hard to define precisely yet the sentiment for “fairness” is still highly desirable, deliberately introducing randomness can resolve a lot of issues.

That is one of the main criticisms of the education system in asia.

In asia, they teach you to follow, not to question.

They don't even bother saying single or unmarried anymore.

Remember when BLM had destruction of the nuclear family on their list of goals?

I the goal it went away because they realized the mission was accomplished.

Yeah.. I might be tempted to lay some serious cash on it.
You’d have to pay serious cash down. Probably $10K to get $1 back
