    @George-K said in California politics: Best comment: "It's hard to pick out the worst person in this story." It is a close call. But i’m giving it to Lee.

    I've never got this, as it's awkward with me not being a US citizen. To be honest, for me the security bit isn't really a big deal. There's so much more that sucks about flying nowadays that this bit pales into insignificance.

    @George-K said in Some photos: I'd never seen this footage. https://x.com/Breaking911/status/1701353042799448164?s=20 I believe the person who had that footage discovered he did only in the last couple years. Can you imagine how many thousands of 4K HD videos there would be today from cell phones everywhere?

    Pretty much the highest profile case(s) that would get maximum attention. Same with the tax people go after a well known rich person for tax crimes. Probably bigger cases, but not bigger publicity.

    @George-K said in The Truth About The Moonlight Sonata: But, speaking of Beethoven, let's look at the first 4 bars of Op 67. I wonder if it's popularity increased because of it's widespread use in WW2, particularly by the British and French.

    Interesting. This isn't the final word in this case (which is really about off-label use). All that happened is that the 5th circuit allowed the lawsuit to proceed. The docs claim damage because FDA crossed the line (as the court said) between telling about and telling to. But was there harm caused to the docs? Yes, loss of privileges, academic positions and investigations of licensure. The plaintiffs were mentioned here: https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/topic/26111/ivermectin-again?_=1694516996434

    @Aqua-Letifer said in The Shift from In-Person to Virtual Personal Training: A Better Approach?: @jon-nyc said in The Shift from In-Person to Virtual Personal Training: A Better Approach?: I made one minor edit to her post. Good change. It sure changed the meaning of the next sentence: The convenience of training in my own space and the use of household items as equipment has been a game changer.

    @taiwan_girl There is no good, commercially available solution that I know of at this time. Just need to wait for the technology to catch up.
