There's still the option for the doctor to signal that they confidently don't know everything. When I ask my PCP a question outside her knowledge, she quickly and assuredly sends me to a specialist (or asks one and gets back to

Why do you assume that "retired workers" are not included in the group "people"?

My favorite was the congresscritter who held a press conference complaining that Google was returning obscene links to ordinary queries. He didn't understand that Google was remembering his own past searches, and self-owned on camera.

Serious question: how is it a felony? Distributing it might count as copyright piracy, but merely downloading public data?

That is a wild claim. Every single quarterly meeting my company has with customers begins with redistributing the notes from the previous meeting, and "to-do" points are regularly referenced. AI notes are a godsend, because instea

Yes, there is only one reasonable pronunciation of the Fortran code word which is an amalgam of the English words "go to". GIF is an initialism, with no comparable basis.

Would millenia of data from primarily agricultural, family-worked farms suffice?

It's all of these. If you maintain any major export path, or decrease demand, prices rise far less than they would otherwise.

No, it lowers prices... which is what happened (effectively) versus expectations.

Yes, the US still outproduces China in oil by nearly a factor of three. The actual meaning of the vague title is that China temporarily buffered world crude prices. TFA notes that China controlled prices during the Iran/"Orange Id

So some music does primarily encode communication. You have not proven that this is the primary function of all music, ergo the article is not proven wrong. In fact, I'd bet $100USD that the development of music was primarily for ple

In the US, nurses suffer some of the highest rates of job-related injuries. I know a male ex-nurse and a male ex-EMT, both of whom left the career due to injuries. That I know more male than female ex-nurses (ex- for this reason) suggests t

I'd prefer to be exclusively on Jellyfin. It simply has more features that I use - specifically, collections are great non-hierarchical groupings. But periodically my system will refuse to see the Tailscale server, and I'll have
