@Mik said in Ransomware Gang: I’ve often questioned the real value of having medical records available across institutions. As a patient, it's certainly convenient to have my records from DMG (DuPage Medical Group) be accessible from Northwestern. But, security > convenience. If Northwestern REALLY needed something, I could request it from DMG and get it to them, either by email or in-person.

The video started just after the pilot told everyone "hey, watch this neat trick... I call it the wing touch"

@taiwan_girl said in Tucker Carlson on Ukraine: Interesting picture of the Mercedes limo that Premier Kim uses as it is loaded onto his personal train. This is the armored train that Premier Kim took on his recent trip to visit Putin. Due to the back condition of the tracks in DPRK and the heavy weight of the train, it can only go about 65 km/hr. And, since the train gauge is different between the two countries, the wheels on the train had to be changed out at the border. [image: 77603fad49fa9307eb8db649a7aba5dc] A bit of follow up related to the above http://kcna.kp/kp/article/q/0e4a6b4c64837160679299db3a99db41.kcmsf Pyongyang, February 20 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), was presented with a car made in Russia for his personal use by Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, president of the Russian Federation. The gift to the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un from Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin was conveyed to Pak Jong Chon, secretary of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), and Kim Yo Jong, vice department director of the WPK Central Committee, by the Russian side on February 18. Kim Yo Jong courteously conveyed Kim Jong Un's thanks to Putin to the Russian side, saying that the gift serves as a clear demonstration of the special relations of friendship between the top leaders of the DPRK and Russia and as the best present. (Regarding the above picture, someone told me that it was a Maybach car rather than a Mercedes. Dont know enough about the two to tell the difference)

Now, seriously? End the welfare state as we know it. Provide an opportunity ladder for those who wish to learn and work. Provide incentives for marriage.

He added that he felt pressured into signing the document, fearful that he would be held responsible in the situation that Trump won the suit and the electors were not prepared. “It was not a safe time,” he said. “If my lawyer is right, and the whole reason Trump loses Wisconsin is because of me, I will be scared to death.”

@George-K Hmm. Dont know. I guess it is like that famous joke about pornagraphy. What is the definition of pornagraphy? I dont know, but I will know it when I see it.

Well, I guess one of my staff has his only job to turn the lights how I want them, so I guess it is automated in a way. 555 (Actually, I dont have any automated lights. Still do it the "old fashioned" way.)

Doesn't seem controversial to me. Makes sense.

@Renauda Thanks. That was interesting reading teh article.

Taiwan has re-increased the mandatory service length back up to one year.

Who in hell’s big idea was that? Jesus.

Really now, what sort of person would be so careless as to leave one of their legs just laying about the Subway? You’d think they would notice it missing before leaving the premises. People nowadays have no decorum about their appendages lower limbs.

And the girl with the beard offered to help the injured player up. She declined his help.

I don't think it is meant to be realistic. I watch it.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Cocktails: @LuFins-Dad said in Cocktails: It’s not whiskey. It might taste vaguely like whiskey, but in Virginia all hard liquors have to be sold through ABC stores. Beer & Wine are sold in grocery stores. Fireball is sold in packs of 20 for $5.00 at 7/11. There's two types, right? The little bottles we got from a liquor store were 66 proof, 10 bottles for $10. I think they're flavoured Canadian whisky. Yeah, that’s what my second post detailed. There is a strong malt beverage called Fireball that is sold at the grocery stores and convenience stores. It claims “Whiskey flavors” but is basically a wine. The bottles look like the fireball whiskey bottles…
