    If you can ever learn anything about watching zombie movies, it's how underrated a leg injury is for survival.

    @89th said in A Trip For George - Luxury Train Travel in India: Fun fact, the name Spain actually came from the phrase, "Travel is painfully slow", true story! You're really buying into the whole dad jokes thing.

    It's kind of interesting that the main challenge is not to make the lung work and connect it properly, but to stop the body from rejecting it.

    The trailed included the worst aspects of the matrix and the worst aspects of crouching tiger hidden dragon. I had to stop partway through.

    AI is getting quite good at music composition. There was a music history teacher who asked me, decades ago, why I chose another major field study other than music. I wonder what she would say today.

    @89th said in AI and retirement savings needs: I didn't understand the conclusion either. Can robots make me rich or not? AlphaAgents aligns with established portfolio construction frameworks and discretionary investment workflows. While currently focused on stock selection, it can serve as a modular input to models like Mean-Variance Optimization or Black-Litterman, by supplying agent-driven signals for return estimation and scenario analysis. It might be simpler to rob a bank.

    Can we just appreciate the scale of the hypocrisy for a moment? Even assuming the allegations against cook are correct, just this week the judgement against trumps business in NY was thrown out for his mortgage fraud since the bank got paid back and this had never been a top line charge before in NY. Her bank got paid back and this has never been a top line charge from DoJ. Ever. Also, back to the other major lawfare-related hypocrisy of the week, a dozen people in the administration have committed the same violation in this case for which Trump fired Comey in 2017.

    @LuFins-Dad said in Store Renovation: I really wish they wouldn’t ruin my beautiful piano showroom by sending so many pianos… Yeah, it sucks when they don't send their best pianos. Consider securing the showroom perimeter and deport some pianos.

    Yeah the big issue is people don’t want the overall density in their neighborhood to increase. Parking, traffic congestion, school crowding, etc are all (often) legitimate concerns. But at some point something’s got to give. Unless we perfect teleportation or the population decreases.

    I've been to the place and I have seen the boy, the piano, the room, and the plant. The picture is legit. (Never seen the Asian, so cannot vouch for the Asian.)

    Just like we pointed at the likes of Huawei and say "don't buy from Huawei because the CCP owns them," the CCP probably points the finger at Intel and tell all the companies in China "don't buy from Intel because the U.S. government owns them."

    Probably more babies being delivered via C-Section is also a factor. Lots of stuff a baby gets exposed to going through the birth canal.
