@George-K said in No tats for 10-year-olds: @Catseye3 said in No tats for 10-year-olds: But is it the state's responsibility to step in on something I happen to disapprove of? It arrested the mother who allowed the 10-year-old to get a tat. That answer your question? Did the mother allow the tattoo or actively promote the tattoo? Want to know my guess?

Exactly

Anti-skeeterism. It's a thing.

No more so than counting money. The way you do that is two of you total the batch and if you agree, its correct. Easy peasy. It's only prone to error if your process is.

OK, it looks like fun, it's on my kindle, I'll get to it

When we moved, they told us we could hook up straight away. Then they said - oops, sorry, there's already a Verizon account at that address. So we had to prove we owned the house before they'd activate us. Apparently, the previous owners hadn't bothered to tell them they'd left, and also took the ONT with them. It's all fixed now but we got charged for the set-up, which should have been there already.

After I get Texas plates, my biography will be that I am from Wisconsin. Where’s the fun in that? Die your hair purple and get a shirt made that says “Ha Ha We Stole The Election” I am used to being a political pariah, so it'll feel just like home.

What kind of lunatic do you have to be to attack that viciously.

I wonder whether Hollywood will apologize for their apology.

"Observability" in artificial intelligence is a big problem. A lot of times the scientists/engineers who came a up with an AI system cannot fully explain why the system produces the results it produces.

@Jolly said in Hungry: Darn phag. lol. I’ll be at a scientific conference on macrophages in 3 weeks.

@Mik said in Bernie is concerned: Y’know,Copper, this is the first election cycle where that’s a real issue. Bushwa... I was assured by countless psychiatrists and psychologists that Trump was mentally deranged and should be removed from office.

The more important points - it’s moving beyond where it was 20 years ago… I worked at a “Home School Convention” back in the mid-2000’s offering music lesson programs and such. All of the curriculum on display were of two types. One had books titled “Why do we have 2 eyes, 2 arms, and 2 legs? Because God loves the number 2!” and the other was kind of a weird mix between Earth Mothers and Conspiracy Theorists. Today there are legitimate opportunities. as the homeschooling community and private schools grow, funding gets cut for the public schools which then feeds into more people going to private schools or homeschooling…Sooner or later you build more momentum towards school choice.

Amen.
