LOL. Ford wants me to pay for Blue Cruise. -- nm - Mop🧹 Dec 20, 08:16 2

FTC bans Rite Aid from using AI facial recognition in stores for 5 years. Used it to identify theives. -- (link) - budice Dec 20, 07:31 2
- I have to ask: what authority does the FTC have here? -- nm - Mop🧹 Dec 20, 08:19 1
  - "pursuant to Section 13(b) of the Federal Trade Commission Act (“FTC Act”), 15 U.S.C. § 53(b)" -- nm - decline Dec 20, 08:24
If Colorado wanted attention, it has it now. -- nm - budice Dec 20, 07:20 12
- One thing I haven't seen in all the Thread posts since yesterday is: would TFG even had a chance in CO? -- nm - JaxSean Dec 20, 07:51 11
  - I assume that the only states that would possibly remove him from the ballot are states that he would have no chance of winning anyway, -- nm - Dano Dec 20, 07:57 8
    - I don't think that's necessarily true. The lawsuits can be brought by anyone and (a) it's not a guaranty in swing state -- (edited) - pmb Dec 20, 08:04 7
      - If only insurrection wasn't a partisan issue -- nm - oblique Dec 20, 08:05 3
        
        Ill say this, the GOP was 'smart' enough to understand early that they had no choice but to become the party of Insurrection and fully embrace it. -- (edited) - Jovian Dec 20, 08:07 2
        
        I'm not sure that's the case. If they had, they could have pivoted to courting the centrists, marginalizing their extremes in much the way the most - pmb Dec 20, 08:12 1
        
        only *IF* the US Senate had voted to convict him in his Impeachment do I think they would have been able to move forward - Jovian Dec 20, 08:18
      - its all moot anyway. Its up to scotus now. If they rule he's disqualified then its wrap everywhere correct? -- nm - Jovian Dec 20, 08:05 2
        
        I think that should be the case, but I haven't really looked to see if it remains up to states or automatically becomes national. - pmb Dec 20, 08:08 1
        
        Colorado republican party says they will move to a caucus to skirt this issue -- nm - oblique Dec 20, 08:17
  - It's very unlikely to be the state that decides the election - ty97 Dec 20, 07:56 1
    - right, it's not pivotal the way PA or Michigan are, but I think more of a precedent thing -- nm - decline Dec 20, 08:00

  - Not really. It's a sad little park. -- nm - TWuG Dec 20, 07:44 1
    - Heh yes I figured. - Jovian Dec 20, 07:59
fairly impressive: PlayStation 5 has sold 50 million units, as of Dec 9, 2023 (xbox x/s is at around 21 million) - decline Dec 20, 07:14 3
- I don't know anyone that has a ps5, but know multiple people that have XBoxes. - JaxSean Dec 20, 07:53 1
  - The biggest gaps are in Europe and Asia apparently, but the PS5 outsells XBox in North America too. - decline Dec 20, 07:56
- This is fine. -- nm - FTC Dec 20, 07:18

- She's like 839% better than the every fan's reaction guy. -- nm - Dano Dec 20, 05:42 3
  - I wouldn't go that far. I find her comedy is a deeper dive but the video cuts are a hair too fast. Both are fun watches -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Dec 20, 05:44 2
    - Exactly. I wish these were like 18% slower. She talks fast, the cuts are fast and it goes and goes. -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Dec 20, 06:45 1
      - talks way too fast -- nm - decline Dec 20, 07:18

Aaron Rodgers was full of shit? Nooooooooo -- (link) - Reagen Dec 20, 02:38 4
- Jets wasted a season by not bringing in better QB Help -- nm - budice Dec 20, 05:48 1
  - Yup. Also, ignoring the OL for four years has been a bit of an issue. They're Swiss cheese and do little to help whomever is behind center. - Krusty Dec 20, 06:02
- No. He said he would play if they had a chance at making the playoffs. There's no reason to risk the early return when they're not going anywhere. - Krusty Dec 20, 05:13 1
  - In that he implied his treatment would have him all healed ahead of schedule. -- nm - Reagen Dec 20, 08:15

Lester in Pittsburgh who uses my email *still* hasn't done his Cologuard. poop in the damn box, Lester. -- nm - mafic Dec 19, 23:47 3
- Maybe he has pooped in the box and just hasn’t sent it in because he doesn’t want to part with it. -- nm - Dano Dec 20, 04:29 1
  - Oh Lord, I couldn't get mine out of the house fast enough. -- nm - B'nai B'ron Dec 20, 05:28

I do keep seeing the PSA ads about town about the Narcan. I think I'd want to (perhaps be required to?) take a class first about when/how to use? - ty97 Dec 19, 19:23 10
- We carry it. You never know who could OD, even people in offices prescribed opioids for pain could have it happen. - colin Dec 20, 01:18 [youtube] 1
  - Remember too, you might be the only one with narcan in a OD situation and can say "I have narcan", hand it off to someone who is comfortable using it. - colin Dec 20, 01:21
- a brief training is required for NYC, per what I linked. for zeit., it won’t harm someone in those circumstances. nm but: -- (link) - i.b! Dec 19, 22:41

- what happens if you give a dose to someone who is not comatose from an opiod? like say a diabetic coma or just stupid drunk? -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 19, 20:15 1

- I know people in Vancouver who have done it as part of a first aid course. I know one person who carries a dose on them (for randos, just in case). -- nm - mafic Dec 19, 19:28
I expect this will change BUT, I guess people are starting to go on vacation because I only have TWO (2) meetings on my calendar tomorrow as of now! - ty97 Dec 19, 19:20 2

How can I be out of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix?? I keep it on hand to make a sauce when I cook corn. Tonight I've had to use regular flour. - Meg Dec 19, 17:55 7

- And now I've finished the Rasberry Vinegarette I use on my veggies, but that's already on the shopping list. -- nm - Meg Dec 19, 18:00
- Wait, you just put corn muffin mix in with corn in a pot? Or you always make corn bread/muffins? -- nm - JaxSean Dec 19, 18:00 4
  - No, I make a white sauce using the mix rather than flour, and then cook frozen kernal corn in the sauce. -- nm - Meg Dec 19, 18:02 3
    - So like a cream corn? Interesting -- nm - JaxSean Dec 19, 18:14 1
      - Exactly, the mix adds extra corn flavor. Then I add mustard and serve it with ham. -- nm - Meg Dec 19, 18:22

    - oh you want to Uber out of Texas or take Greyhound? well that's aiding and abetting on their part -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 19, 18:24 4
      - Greyhound can’t check for pregnancy either -- nm - Pippy 🏳️‍🌈 aka lady on the plane Dec 19, 18:33 3
        
        but this law would put the legal onus on them to comply or face prosecution for failing to screen passengers -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 19, 18:35 2
        
        Except they won’t do it. They ain’t got time or funds to do that. So no female passengers from 13 to 55? Cause they’d never know? - Pippy 🏳️‍🌈 aka lady on the plane Dec 19, 19:21 1
        
        I mean, they are treating women as sub-citizens, so why not fully strip them (ha!) of their rights to freely travel? - Marlowe Dec 19, 19:48
    - No, but they can throw it in some woman's face when there's a complication that requires medical attention shortly after they return... - zeitgeist Dec 19, 18:10
    - Or stop every woman and make her take a pregnancy test? -- nm - Meg Dec 19, 17:48

I wonder if David Zazlav really does know who CM Punk is and WWE’s next tv deal ends up being with WBD because of him. - Tim Dec 19, 16:56 4
- None of it passes the laugh test, but it is funny that Punk wants to screw AEW this badly. - David Dec 19, 17:26 3
