    @George-K said in HIPAA and POTUS: The fact that the president is tweeting again this morning, in ALL CAPS, is another good sign. In at least one habit, he seems very much “back to normal.” Those stretches of Twitter silence this weekend were a little ominous. We know this guy; we’ve been living under him as president for almost four years now. If he’s awake, he’s tweeting.

    @George-K I hope they're creating a longer video about the restoration. What a great project. I love this kind of thing. Hubby does, too. We would watch a mini-series on this, and there would be enough history and reno story to make a series out of it.

    Do we know what the effectivity rate of the vaccine is likely to be? If it's less than 100%, or 90% or whatever number you choose, then refusing the vaccine is going to adversely affect others. If enough refuse it, it could have a significant impact.

    I would have thought the winner would be the “People want President Trump “ answer. He has the ability to unify the base voter behind him like no one else currently on either side.

    @Axtremus said in Fun with Biden: Let the DOJ be independent, and may it pursue justice wherever the facts may lead. ROTFLMAO!

    Yeah, or even 3-1. The loss to the Chargers the first week was a fluke due to the kicker's injury on a 30 yard field goal. Cleveland just flat out beat us.

    I don’t see Cisco or Synoptics, both were pretty big SV names at the time. Might just be a function of where their offices were located.

    @Klaus said in "Open Score": But not very good for sight-reading I was thinking the same thing. Supposedly, it's a good way to learn the music (theory wise), but, I also question its utility for actually playing the music. For example, there's so much going on between hands that relying on only one staff would be limiting.

    I am sure the lockdowns decreased COVID based hospital bed requirements.

    I listened to the first three but don't remember much. I think there was a sentient beer can? Or was that a different series. I know the bobs are a self replicating AI with lots of different personalities depending on the experiential tree they descend from.

    @Larry said in Time to hate them back?: Jon, you try to pass yourself off as a centrist, but your actions betray you - you never question a leftwing joke of a news media like the NYT or the Washington Post, but you never miss a chance to ridicule and dismiss a conservative media source as you did Town Hall in this thread. It's not Town Hall that pushes out lies masquerading as "news", so instead of trying to dismiss Town Hall as if what they say is a joke, and instead of trying to dismiss me using the same tactic, how about actually being a centrist. You'll learn something. Like the fact that both me and Town Hall are far more correct than you want to admit. This is where jon will tell you that he has indeed criticized the NYT. Centrism, conservatism, progressivism, these are just wishfully thought self-descriptions. But the reality of the situation to an observer will always boil down to what and whom a person chooses to criticize, ridicule, or giggle at. By that are we all known.
