Their states strategy is to overwhelm the system so it/we cannot cope. I haven't heard of a good strategy to counter this, but we'll need to find one.

It isn't a terrible idea for the state department to control our foreign aid programs and dispersements. But this is a very Machiavellian approach (read: f*cked up).

So there is this feature where you can focus the AI on a specific file when generating responses. If that file contains only your own digital art, is the AI art produced yours? Not saying that's what you found, but maybe there is some nuance to AI art creation.

This is so terrible for so many reasons. One of which is this is the department that supports children with disabilities, including early intervention services. It is super wrong to pick on our most vulnerable members of society, simply because they cannot defend themselves. They should be ashamed (although, to be fair, I'm not sure they are capable of it).

Alaska, hands down.

I think it varies state by state. In Washington State, for example, an employer can dismiss an employee without reason or notice (assuming no union contract). It goes the other way too. An employee can leave a job without notice or reason. I once worked with someone who went to lunch and never came back. Good for him!

Dumb question: why are they targeting USAID?

I read about one book per week using the Kindle app on my phone. I find books as I go, so I don't really have a TBR list.

Portlandia is surprising accurate.

Always. Today I made a calendar in PPT - FML.

Using the McKinsey model...

Go to the doctor. Advocate for yourself. Make them take you seriously. I've been extra tired for a couple years and it turns out I have a few autoimmune diseases.

The only thing that has generated change is a bunch of airlines that complained after the door plug incident. Dave has got to go.

Side question: When are they going to finally break up the company?

 

I am newly diagnosed with CD. Wanted to connect with others to see if you have any helpful tips or information for newbies. CD wasn't previously on my radar - getting tested was part of several tests ordered - so I know very little on how to navigate this.

 

My son (10 yo) has a few very strong interests that he talks about pretty much nonstop. We haven't discouraged any kind of talking because he was quite delayed. However it has come to my attention that his narrow focus on these topics can annoy his peers at school. I don't want him to feel ashamed about his interests, but I also don't want him to be ostracized at school. I'd really appreciate any thoughts this group may have on how to handle (or not) this situation. TIA!
