I found this out when researching care for my grandparent. You have to spend all of the money before they can be eligible for certain types of care. They make you get rid of it all or forfeit it.

Thanks. Crazy how AMP was supposed to make it faster but instead it’s twice as slow.

You’re right! I have a dog breed that is prone to deafness and he had a BAER hearing test. He has partial deafness in one ear, so he always tilts the other side up for hearing. It helps them hear better, and use the ear flaps to “trap” the sound.

In the 1980s, Bayer sold medication to Asia and Latin America that they knew was tainted with HIV. Thousands of people ended up testing positive for HIV/AIDS.

The same lab also made a mistake with polio vaccines and gave 40,000+ kids a version of polio. (However, that was in the 50s and Bayer bought Cutter Labs in the 70s)

I remember during the 2016 election Trump would say things that has only ever been on RT. I would see one or two articles about it being odd that his talking point were word for word from RT, at times, but it never broke though to mainstream news and no one pushed the journalism further.

Pennies should go away, but this isn’t the way to do it. Canada’s process was well thought out with lots of guidance and direction.

This is dumb and will cause lots of confusion.

Yeah I saw that it was more about fingerprinting and tracking, but that it was also sold used and sold AI training.

Also thanks, I didn’t realize Waymo was a part of Google.

I just got your post two days later. I am an idiot.

Yeah you’re probably right, but Google doesn’t have a self driving car right? I guess they are just selling it the data.

I knew it was training LLMs. I had a just had a feeling that it was, not any specific evidence. I hate being right all the time. -_-

I don’t know if their age is relevant or not.i keep Going back and forth on this.

I tend to side with you on this, but part of me remembers that the brain isn’t fully formed until you’re around 25.

So it would be relevant if the guy was 7 in the same way it’s somewhat relevant that he is 23.

I went to an LCMS church as a kid, it felt like one step down from Catholicism.

For those who don’t know, there are two main branches of the Lutheran Church in the US.

• Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (known as LCMS)

  • More Conservative views
  • Doctrine first mentality, believes Bible is without error
  • No Same Sex Marriage
  • No ordained women
  • Young Earth Creationism
  • Traditional Worship

• Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (known as ELCA)

  • More Liberal views

  • Doesn’t believe scripture is 100% accurate , especially when it comes to history and science

  • Does allow for same sex marriage

  • Allows women and LGBT+ to be ordained

  • Does not fully endorse creationism

  • Contemporary Worship

Also, I believe Tim Walz is a member of an ELCA church.

Didn’t Elon Musk and Michael Flynn just post about how they will stop processing payments to a Lutheran organization?

Let’s start there.

Before I see all comments laughing at a red state, I just want to point out that this is happening primarily in KS’s most blue counties.

Sharice Davids represents this district in the US House of Representatives She replaced Republican Kevin Yoder in 2018.

This isn’t just hurting those “dumb fuck red voters”. This is happening in blue Kansas City counties.

That’s true! But I don’t think Trump or Elon understand that. They find it offensive.

This is the way. Elon Musk loves to lie about his IQ and pretend he’s smarter than he is. Trump’s favorite insult is ‘low IQ’. Find something that digs into their skin and make them throw a tantrum.

If the Federal Government doesn’t want to be responsible for anything, why even be a country? Each state be their own I guess /s

Also are they going to reduce taxes for all the cuts? Doubt it, but states would have to make increases to cover all the new work.

we live in the dumbest timeline.

We can only hope. This morning, I saw multiple news articles with “President Musk” in the title. I suspect it’s intentional for that reason. But at minimum, I hope it’s starting.

I don’t mind. I work on Commercial Real Estate loans.

KC, Dallas, and Miami have a lot of companies in this industry. Over the years, they branch off or get bought out, move two miles down the road and start another company.

If you or someone you know is looking for work in that field, DM me. :)
