    @George-K The real test is whether the cat wants to react at all. They're usually quite busy napping, eating, grooming, and pushing things to the floor. Their schedules are very full, so good luck.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in Radiologists vs AI: @Jon said in Radiologists vs AI: The good news is after they’re pwned by the computer a few times they can probably learn to take discrepancies a bit more seriously. I'd guess that the next generation of pretty much everybody is going to be a lot more adept at working with AI I called the radiology shit about 8 months ago. Just sayin'.

    If she were in her fifties, I'd say no, but 37 is pretty young, without a bunch of problems. You know, I worked in a small, but busy indigent care hospital. We did 40 or so a year, back in the 80's...Maybe close to one per week. By the early 2000's, probably not even 20/year. I went back and looked at the old case logs from the early and mid-60's. We were doing over 100 per year or a couple every week.

    Those cases have come along way too. I remember a flexible plastic case I'd take when we'd go to the beach.

    Some things are very easy. Blackened fish. Mississippi pot roast. A simple spaghetti sauce. Shrimp stew. Red beans and sausage. A grilled hamburger. You start out with something simple, learn to cook it and if it's good, file the recipe or technique away. Before you know it, you've got a dozen things you can do pretty well. Next thing you know, you've got two dozen.

    [image: 1690845086912-image.png] He is forbidden to practice law in Connecticut because he has not paid the $75 license fee. [image: 1690845432496-screenshot-2023-07-31-at-6.17.03-pm.png] Being a "member of the bar" is probably accurate, but the implication is that he can practice law. He can't.

    They got this call right. Now publicize it, so future jackasses know better.

    https://www.military.com/daily-news/2023/07/31/veterans-congress-press-bowe-bergdahl-be-retried-after-sentenced-was-dismissed.html Five military veterans in Congress have written Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Attorney General Merrick Garland asking they review options for retrying former Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl after his verdict was vacated last week by a civilian court. Reps. Mike Waltz, R-Fla.; Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas; Jake Ellzey, R-Texas; Ryan Zinke, R-Mont.; and Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa., demanded an immediate review of the case, saying the nullification of the sentence "dishonors those who served and died alongside Bergdahl." "Bergdahl's actions endangered and potentially got his comrades killed," they wrote. "By omission, condoning such behavior puts the lives of future American soldiers in peril." The former prisoner of war pleaded guilty in 2017 to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy, having left his post in Afghanistan in 2009, subsequently being captured by the Taliban and held for nearly five years. Bergdahl received a dishonorable discharge, loss of rank to private, and forfeiture of $10,000 in pay. His case was appealed through the military court system, which upheld the original verdict. After exhausting his options in that system, however, Bergdahl sued the United States in federal court. Last week, U.S. District Court Senior Judge Reggie Walton vacated the sentence, dismissing the orders by the judge who presided over Bergdahl's court-martial, Col. Jeffery Nance, after Nance failed to disclose that he had applied for a position as a federal immigration judge in the Trump administration -- a job prospect that gave the appearance of a potential conflict of interest. In his decision, Judge Walton ruled in favor of the government in another of Bergdahl's arguments for dismissal of his case -- that then-President Donald Trump and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., exerted unlawful command influence by saying negative things about Bergdahl. Given the split decision, both Bergdahl and the Justice Department have a right to appeal, which would take the case to the District of Columbia U.S. Court of Appeals.

    He'd appreciate it. I really enjoyed Pee Wee as a character. Paul Reubens got royally hosed for whacking off at a porno movie. Which is what most other people there were doing anyway
