Nice! My favorite for partly sentimental reasons is from a distiller called Mythology. They do a collaboration with the Denver Botanic Gardens (I live in the Denver area) that’s pretty good https://mythologydistillery.com/product/the-foragers-gin/

But my bottle reserved for when they happen is a nice bottle of whiskey some friends gifted me for officiating their wedding a couple years ago. I still haven’t opened it and I’m the type who would save it forever if I didn’t have an occasion to drink it otherwise. https://www.breakingbourbon.com/review/george-dickel-x-leopold-bros-collaboration-blend-rye

I may have to keep my eye open for Nolet’s. One of my favorite drinks is a G&T.

What kind?

He also lives in a low cost of living area

He didn’t, but now that I think about it he has another business still in the industry (don’t want to be too specific) and that may help too. Really not familiar enough with his businesses’ finances to say 🙂

One of my old Internet friends from years ago did, and got very involved in the industry. He seems to be doing very well for himself, but I’ve seen him comment on a Facebook post where people were saying you can only become a millionaire by starting a laundromat if you started off as a billionaire

There are 6 pieces of shit on SCOTUS, but some of them at least try not to be occasionally. Even the conservatives seemed incredibly skeptical during arguments. My biggest surprise is that Gorsuch joined Alito and Thomas.

I had my plates stolen several years ago, if that counts!

3 day weekends every week, right? … Right?

Don’t give him any ideas

It depends on the product. I don’t want to be served slop, designed to generate mindless clicks but if AI is secondary to something being produced by a human, for humans, I’m a little less upset about it.

Examples: SNL used an AI photo as an illustration for a weekend upstate story joke. The star of the show was the news story and the punchline to follow. The illustration helps the delivery, but isn’t the product.

I could also understand (for example) AI-generated background music when creating a video on YouTube, so long as the purpose of the video is worth a damn.

With such a strictly utilitarian outlook on life, I bet you’re a joy at parties. Why even bring one of your favorite foods to share when that’s supposed to be the host’s job?

Friendly reminder that SCOTUS ruled 6-3 in an opinion authored by none other than Neil Gorsuch that discrimination by sexual orientation and gender identity is inherently discrimination by sex. If that was actually the reason, that school is in for a rough time.

I’m assuming this is just for felonies? I was on a 6-person jury in Colorado (obviously relatively progressive) recently, but it was a misdemeanor. I believe felony cases have the full 12.

Ahhh yeah, I forgot some places (generally including Chicago, it would seem) do that.

If they do, can they also fully capitalize HUSSEIN in the name, as someone else seems to insist on doing all the time?

To shreds, you say?

The receipt will span the entire pool. I mean, it would anyway for a candy bar at that place but it will here too!

There are quite a few exceptions built into HIPAA. I’m sure there would be something as you describe, but also there are things like if a crime occurred on the premises of the provider (or whatever) and they think they recognize the person in their security footage as a patient, they can give that information to law enforcement (as one would expect with non-healthcare organizations).

Another is that if someone is talking with a patient in a double room with only a curtain separating, someone overhearing the conversation is considered incidental and not a HIPAA violation

That’s what you’re clinging to at this point? How do I know it wasn’t all a ploy? Dude, excuse me for one adjective mixed in my comment but not everything is the conspiracy you seem to want it to be

I do? I was fact-checking a specific point. I never said that the Democrats were the infallible party of the people, but because I gave more detail about a vague, misleading-at-best statement that means I need to defend everything else?

I like facts and knowledge. You can’t develop a good opinion without it. And when I see misinformation, even from people I generally agree with, I try to set the record straight.
