Asking the important questions! I work with 3 and they’re all spelled differently…

After the only hospital in town closed, a North Carolina city directs its ire at politicians (apnews.com)

Weeds have punctured through the vacant parking lot of Martin General Hospital’s emergency room. A makeshift blue tarp covering the hospital’s sign is worn down from flapping in the wind. The hospital doors are locked, many in this county of 22,000 fear permanently....

Do you have any research from reputable organizations to corroborate your assertions?

I’m unfamiliar with the term “Emergent Care.”

Thank you!

I thought it was because someone tested that bag and found out it wasn’t biodegradable?

Secret Oktober will forever ground me.

The beat, the lyrics, the build. They combine perfectly to ground me.

They just covered their own song for a Halloween album: Secret Oktober 31st but I’m still making my mind up on that one.

Light, i.e. photons, travel at the maximum speed we know of in the universe.

Einstein’s e=mc^2^ shows us that when “the speed of light” is achieved travel forward or backward on the time line is possible.

Therefore a photon exists only for an instantaneous amount of time, regardless of how far it travels, from the perspective of the photon.

The light that the JWST captures from 12.3 billion years ago is that old to us. To the photon, however, it was created in that stellar object and then immediately crashed into the JWST sensor.

The membrane of time is what we perceive not what the photon experiences.

Edit: How does light actually work?

The ‘canvas’ which everything else resides upon is currently thought to be Quantum Fields: Quantum Fields: The Real Building Blocks of the Universe - with David Tong. (A 1h video by a theoretical particle physicist that’s in layman’s term, very educational and downright LOL funny at times. Well worth your time!)

A Field is something that permeates the entire universe. There’s thought to be a field for every particle in the Standard Model. Electron, photon, charm, up, etc. A particle forms when the field is excited, and these particles interact with each other to form the universe.

The best advice I have is one I found on the internet: Whenever you walk through a room pick something up and dispose of it, or put it back in its place.

Once we determine if the universe is infinite or not we’ll know more about what to expect.

If it’s finite then we’ll have a stopping point. If it’s not then there’ll be no stopping point.

Assuming a finite universe then I’d wager we’ll know all that can be known in about 10^23 years.

Everyone should do this! It’s such a very simple way to make someone else’s day better. And it makes you feel better too…

I feel like his comment is just setting the stage for overturning Obergefell v. Hodges. We already know that they want it overturned so this is just groundwork for the day when that happens.

Pick up plastic trash on the street. I walk/take transit and if I: 1) see plastic trash, and 2) see a trash can nearby; I pick it up and dispose of it.

The incident in Chinatown was due to the fact that Waymo AI expects everything to follow the law. Therefore driving through a busy part of the city should be fine because the streets will be clear as pedestrians follow the law.

Was the Waymo AI wrong? No. Does it need to learn human behavior? You bet!

The cyclist was hit because the rider failed to follow the law and maintain a “safe clear distance” from the vehicle in front. It was literally a few feet behind the big truck. By the time the AI saw the cyclist it was too late, because nothing should have been that close to the truck.

The AI we have now is perfectly fine as long as every sentient creature out in public knows and follows the law. Therein lies the next part of AI training…

IIRC he was fighting “tooth & nail” to get out of the deal…until they made a request for some of his e-mails.

Suddenly he’s done fighting and carried through with the purchase.

(Sorry but I’m going into an appointment so no time to look up this new event…)
