    I think that focusing on that in this discussion is missing the forest because of all the trees…

    Someone commented that the Australian government is NOT demanding that YouTube take the video down. I wonder why.

    Put the MRI data and all other information (such as blood tests) into a specifically trained AI system and I see no reason why this system could not become good at identifying the tumors where it pays off to do something about.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in Best way to cook eggs...: She doesn't mention my current favourite - cooked in bacon fat, along with the bacon. It doesn't look great, but it tastes wonderful. I used to do the basting method. Wow that sounds great. I’ll give the 10/10 method a try soon, too. I normally either do the water/steam method or I do 1 min on an (already very hot) skillet then flip and reduce heat to low for a few min. For better or worse I’m not a picky eater. There are few foods and styles that I won’t consume. That being said, if I ever did win powerball or something… I’d live a very normal life but I’d absolutely higher a full time chef.

    @George-K said in How to fix college finances?: OK, I looked at the article. https://x.com/JohnArnoldFndtn/status/1782854650841939971 There are schools that have more administrators than students, though. Stanford, Duke, and Cal Tech are three I am aware of.

    @Jolly Look at the Norway Campaign in WW2. You mean the Soviet Winter War against Finland in ‘39 and ‘40.

    The first amendment speaks to the press and speech separately. That is not an accident. It is to make it very clear. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

    @Doctor-Phibes said in EVs not doing so well in Blighty: I don't understand why hybrids aren't the obvious choice for a more gradual implementation. It feels like all the political types have got sucked into this EV stuff because they don't know any better. Toyota Prius. $30k 57mpg. Dependable. Battery replacement can be done by anybody with a hair of mechanical knowledge and for less than $1500. Batteries last 8-10 years.
