Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.

Black Friday reminder - that product with a great price being sold by a company with a name that's just a bunch of random letters may end up on our website someday because it explodes.

On this day 200 years ago Goku saved the Native Americans from the Red Ribbon Army. They asked what they could do in return. Goku said "Im hungry", and thus the first Thanksgiving was had.

Inflation is driving up prices for Thanksgiving staples. Since last year:

– Turkey is up 36%
– Ham is up 49%
– Cranberry sauce is up 22%

Trump’s trade war is shrinking portions and making the holidays less affordable.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

So ordinary folk can't get RAM for their computers cuz it's all going towards data centers to run AI.

But if folks can't run their computers, who is going to use the AI?

Q: "Why is nursing being dropped as a professional degree?"

A: "Because 1 in every 20 nurses is Filipino. Because ~40% of the nurses in California are foreign born. Because ~60% of California nurses, are not white."
About 1 in every 20 nurses in the US are Filipino.♥️🇵🇭

The Philippines is better at educating and training large numbers of high quality nurses for less educational cost, than most other nations. Better than the USA.

This isn't just "cheap labor." This is pride in excellence of service to others.
I wish we could make a legally-binding contract for all these folks who are so anti-immigrant so that they could be relieved of the burden of getting medical treatment from folks who are immigrants or children of immigrants, which would free up tons of care for others.
