People close to Mulivanov say he has type 2 diabetes and polyneuropathy, and that his health deteriorated in pretrial detention.
I don’t think he’ll have to worry about diabetes or neuropathy for much longer. I foresee far more health deterioration when he faces a Ukrainian FPV drone on the front lines.
I don’t know. Here’s a couple of the very clear examples if you want to search for yourself:
ER:
Season 1 Episode 15 (“Feb. 5, '95”): Dr. Mark Greene treats a terminally ill cancer patient named Grace (or a breast cancer/lymph node cancer patient) who asks him to help her die. Mark increases her morphine dose to relieve her severe pain, which results in her death, sparking an ethical debate among viewers and staff about end-of-life care and palliative dosing.
The Pitt:
Episode 11 (“5:00 P.M.”) of The Pitt, (dying terminal cancer patient, Roxie) Dr. Cassie McKay and Dr. Robby increase her morphine dose (invoking the doctrine of double effect, where the primary goal is pain relief even if it risks suppressing respiration) and Roxie passes away while the team deals with other emergency room crises.
ER:
The storyline occurs in Season 1, Episode 20, titled “Full Moon, Saturday Night” (originally aired in April 1995).
In this episode, the ER is chaotic due to a full moon. The nurse Haleh Adams informs Dr. Susan Lewis that a newborn baby was found abandoned inside a trash bag.
The Pitt:
The Pitt spans Season 2, starting with Season 2, Episode 5 (titled “BABY JANE DOE!”) Baby Jane Doe is an infant found abandoned in the hospital’s waiting room bathroom at 7:30 a.m…
This doesn’t surprise me. We watched The Pitt and loved it. We’d heard the about the lawsuit and thought how empty it must be to just be a similar show about doctors in the Emergency Room.
Wanting more we went back and started rewatching ER (which holds up surprisingly well!). Episode after episode of ER we’re recognizing nearly exact patient plot points in Season 1 in ER that were depicted in The Pitt. Each time we see one in ER, we’re understanding the lawsuit more. It almost feels like the writers of The Pitt watched ER season 1 for its plot points.
I’m not going to argue with you on the why to ban the death penalty. We both agree it should be banned. Honestly the reasons we arrive at the same answer are immaterial.
I find it interesting that I start with my post about saying I support the banning the death penalty, and I close with the post with my support for banning the death penalty. Yet multiple people are clipping out both of those agreements to focus on the an intermediate disagreement.
We arrive at the same conclusion to ban the death penalty, but you don’t like the first reason why I want it banned. Why fight a battle that is already won?
Didn’t read beyond that, it’s unlikely you have anything valuable to say.
Wow. Its not often someone tells on themselves so clearly, but I appreciate that you did. I know exactly how much concern to give your posts now and in the future!
If you are not opposed to the death penalty
Did you miss the part where I said “ban the death penalty”?
I’m onboard with this. I’m not necessarily opposed to the death penalty, but our society has demonstrated again and again we are not applying this, the ultimate punishment, equally to everyone across our society. There are large class and race issues that appear to subject some groups to much greater death penalty judgments than other groups.
Unequal justice is injustice. Ban the death penalty.
Its news, but its not 2008-financial-crisis or Black Monday (22.6% drop in a single day) scale news.
Whats reading even more strange to me is that the 3% drop indicates a sell-off of stocks. The idea is that the money disappearing from the stock market goes somewhere, but all of the normal places it goes are also dropping.
Is this a selloff to pay off debt perhaps?
Metered pricing for internet isn’t new for Europe, its a revivale the late 20th and early 21st century. Back then fast internet was ISDN lines (topping out at 128kps) that charged per minute fees and that for some places those per minute fees changed depending on what time of day.
This was one big difference between USA and European approach to internet charges where USA pricing was by the size of the pipe as a flat fee and you could shove as much data through it as the size allowed with no extra charges.
Locally i can only see larger adoption in music and software industry. Everywhere else there are just low tier chatbots doing really simple customer service stuff.
There really is a large adoption of AI inside businesses going on. So much of the products and services we may consume are AI generated or AI augmented somewhere along the lines even if the end customer isn’t seeing it.
AI industry needs the “average Joe” to get dependant on his personal agent that his paying for. I’m not seeing that yet on any level.
Think about smart TVs. Today they are customer spying devices that you have to pay for and put in your home if you want to interact with most of the video entertainment world. The sales pitch and business plan for Smart TVs didn’t start out that way, but here we are today. If you go to any retailer that sells TVs you might have ZERO choices of non-Smart TV.
I can see AI going that direction for “average Joe”. Its not a product that Joe seeks out, but rather the product or service he’s been using up to now gets deprecated and his only alternative is the new AI version the company sells. Joe doesn’t need to want AI, it may end up being included in the only options to him on the market.
AI will have much harder time to get properly mainstream.
If that’s your goal, I don’t think it is worth the effort. I think that ship has sailed. AI isn’t going away. Ruining one companies free tier product isn’t going to stop AI adoption by the world.
I agree, and yes it is.
I’m sure Stallman would welcome your contributions to GNU Hurd kernel if you wanted to go that direction.
Move over stolen catalytic converters!
From William Gibson’s novel Neuromancer written in 1984 depicting a future where stealing RAM out of computer and selling it on the black market is a regular occurrence:
“Case took the pink handset from its cradle and punched a Hongkong number from memory. He let it ring five times, then hung up. His buyer for the three megabytes of hot RAM in the Hitachi wasn’t taking calls.”
S&P 500 up 9% YTD,
That looks like its on Friday’s close.
S&P 500 is up 12.35% YTD right now.
We’ll pay for that waste in the carbon release.
For real. Most likely those planes were retired for their inefficiency.
Probably not just for inefficiency. There are many expensive wearable parts whose life are measured in hours of operation for flightworthiness. Once these reach the end of their certified life they have to be replaced before being certified for flight again (periodic engine overhaul). I could see a bunch of these be still running engines, but the cost of a certified overhaul to carry people is too expensive. However a stationary engine attached to a generator, in a farm of generators, breaking down is an annoyance, not nationwide news and a lawsuit from the families of the survivors.
Life feels dull now, but I still feel like if I can just prove to the world that I’m not weak and childlike, then maybe I can win in some small way
You’ll discover in the years ahead that the secret is not caring what the world thinks. You don’t need to prove to the world anything. You can find yourself, decide what values are important to you, and then live your live according to your definition of whats right. When people say “be true to yourself” this is what they’re talking about.
There’s a step beyond this too. When you know whats important to you, you make a real evaluation of who you are and what you do. You decide if your actions and behaviors match your values. If not, you work to make improvements in yourself. You do it because its important to you and not someone else. Improvements like these can be difficult adopt. You don’t have to do it all overnight. Some improvements aren’t a one-and-done but rather a way of living. I’m positive I’ll go to my grave continuing to try to be a better version of myself, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Each day take the action that, at the end of each day, makes you proud of yourself. The race is long, but only ever against the old version of yourself.
Well, I suppose now we know where the $2500 of credit card debt came from.
