    @Jolly said in Mean Girls: You sell the rights, you sell the rights. That part is going nowhere . Exactly. OTOH, studios are famous for their creative accounting. Thar be the booty, mates. I suspect they owe her millions. Exactly, again. She's not the first victim of "creative accounting."

    “Fake abstract vs. real abstract” is less of an issue from a utilitarian standpoint. It matters more that real and good research were done, that real and good experiments were conducted, that real and honest data were collected and published. After that, I don’t particularly care whether the researchers write the abstracts themselves or use AI to help them write the abstracts, as long as the abstracts accurately reflect the research, the experiments, and the data. I can easily see a brilliant Japanese/Korean/Chinese researcher using AI to help him generate the English text to use to publish his work in an English language journal or symposium. It may more effectively get his ideas and results across the language barrier than the researcher doing the same without AI. And that will benefit not only the researcher but also the field of his research.

    Yup. Core strength is where it’s at there. Glad the symptoms subsided. Ever considered Pilates? MFR’s shot did her some good. Seriously reduced pain the first day. We will see how it progresses, but she should be much better for Hawaii.

    Go to 6:47 where he talks about streaming etc. In one of Greenberg's lectures, he comments that, 200 years ago, the ONLY way you could hear music was live. You had to make it yourself, or listen to someone else make it - live. That's all changed, and he says that "Music has become a commodity." The joy of unwrapping an LP, etc...all that's gone.

    @Catseye3 In the 1950s there would be a cheesy class B horror movie as a result of a noxious blob such as this one.

    @jon-nyc said in 529: @Jolly It’s like in 2009 - I wasn’t sure that it wouldn’t go lower in the near term - but I was confident that it would look cheap 18 years down the road. I feel the same about today. This girl will be the class of 2040! Yeah, I’ve maxed out my 401K contributions over the last 2 years, and have invested a bit into the market directly. I wasn’t in a position to capitalize on 08-09, so am piling it on now.

    Having an event? Sure. Take the kids out of it. You can’t have a kids book event without children, and exposing them to the mob that day would be unconscionable when the whole point is meant to be about protecting kids.

    I dunno. The GOP in this state sometimes resembles a Baptist business meeting. Lotsa heat and precious little light. My favorite Louisiana political website: http://www.thedeadpelican.com/ BTW, if you ever listen to Bongino on the radio, this guy has been subbing for him lately: http://moongriffon.com/ Even I'm not as conservative as Moon, but he can be a hoot, with his take on politics and an Ogeron-lite voice.

    Well, since strippers are being kicked off of PTA’s and aren’t allowed to volunteer at their own children’s schools but drag queens are recruited, what do you think?
