Ditto Australia, hybrid public / private healthcare ...

* private is good for better rooms, more scenic views, personalised spa like service and near immediate access to non life essential procedures

* public keeps the majority of people alive and triages procedures, you can get overnight heart stent surgery for free if required, might have to wait a few months for non critical knee surgery.


As a native (Commonwaelth) english speaker of six decades+ .. it only really "appeared" in frequency during the past decade, more heavily in the past five years or so, in central north American settings.

Grammerly will tell us:

  Despite being more popular than “lessons” in the corporate setting, “learnings” is still incorrect. It's an erroneous plural form of the colloquial term “learning.”

As a business-speak buzz-word it might fade, or it may end up with a greater global footprint outside of the Biz-speak Babel tower.


His naming of the Bored of Peace was also foot forward and eerily prescient.

I'm guessing many would recognise a family member or friend from the photograph of the person in the drivers seat though . . .

Have you seen these photos though? They barely capture the driver to be honest. The angle is shit for it, decent enough for plate ID but that is it. When I got one it didn't really catch my face and the image quality was terrible anyhow, tons of noise and blur and low resolution and lighting conditions couldn't have been better at the time too. Imagine dead of night, when my interior is unlit.

Should we?

Leaving aside pigs being intelligent creatures almost akin to humans for medical purposes, pigs fetch a lot more per kilo than humans do.

I'm not sure there's even much of an open market for human meat.

Unless you mean some nebulous human centic notion of "valuable" that takes no account of the pigs PoV.


Helmet usage, as in protective headware for general melee war and one on one fighting, dates back to the bronze age.

Hard hats, of assorted kinds for general protection while working, date back to the 1890s and became more commonplace ~1920 (ish) onwards in construction, mining, and ship building industries.

I suspect there are more early European hard hat examples to be found than are cited in the wikipedia article.


If you edit out the snipe and add your own thoughts in response, your own comment would be much improved.

> The people who pushed the button to launch the missiles that hit the school, and the people who ordered them to do that, are fully responsible here, not the tools they used.

Absolutely. A real issue here is the normalizing of "AI scapegoating".

The real failure? Not following through on human verification of a "strong lead".

The Iran school site absolutely was _once_ a target, in the distant past - it's sited on and within a former Iranian Guard post with airstrip, etc.

The part that needed strong checking was "history since last identified as a target" - and that site has a history of disrepair and abandonment.

The debatable issue was whether the larger site did indeed store significant military assets underground, etc. which was entirely possible.


The damage risked by Keto diets includes nutrient deficiency, liver and kidney problems, constipation, fuzzy thinking and mood swings.

Of these risks it's the potential veering into liver and kidney problems that deserves the closest monitoring.
