  They get various fruit juices after a blood donation, much like a human would, but that’s not what’s pictured here. You can tell because blueberry juice is actually reddish-purple, not light blue.

  I don’t think the AI does the speech-to-text, I think that’s the same tech as we’ve had for a while. This is just regular Siri not understanding someone who’s hassle asleep and mumbling.

  I would argue that early and excessive exposure to very misogynistic porn can be damaging to a child in that it can reinforce that misogyny and bad sexual patterns/ideas.

  I would also argue that it is the job of the parent or guardian of said child to make sure the information they get online (or anywhere for that matter) is age-appropriate, and not the job of the state.

  These are clearly laws that are either not well thought through or (probably more likely) intentionally limiting of every citizen’s privacy. I don’t think that even if the porn or bullying or whatever problem was as bad as they say it is that this would even be justified.

  You can stab it, but the problem is that you can’t kill it in a way that matters.

  The round number would still be arbitrary, no? It’s roundness would be based on the base 10 counting system, which is also arbitrary.

  And rightfully so! I would personally be too paranoid to even take a picture of a screen that had PHI, even if it was out of frame. However based on what is in the photo, nothing needed to be redacted from a HIPAA standpoint.

  That’s the prescriber’s information. It says DEA, NPI, then the address, and probably phone number. None of that is HIPAA protected.

  Well Rogue did come out 45 years ago. 35 years ago was around the end of the NES/start of SNES generation.

  A quick google shows people estimating 500-750 kcal/hour when swimming the English Channel. And another big range, but it looks like ~15 hours is a decent estimate for a one-way crossing, so that’s ~7,000-11,000 kcal, which assuming 3500kcal/lb of fat, that’s 2-3 lbs. This is all ignoring the fact that most of the energy burned is actually glycogen and food consumed during the swim, not fat reserves.

  Not to undermine your point about forklifts being more dangerous than cars (no idea personally, I don’t have any firsthand experience, only horror stories I’ve read on the internet), but I wonder if accidents/injuries per vehicle per year is the best measurement of danger considering I would assume most cars are only driven for about an hour per day, but I would assume forklifts are operated for about 8-12 hours per day.

  To alleviate that feeling: they’re the same person.
