  1. The way the system is supposed to work is that if a US President is clearly corrupt and committing 'high crimes and misdemeanors' and repeatedly failing to uphold his Oath to the Constitution, then Congress is supposed to step in and put a stop to it.

    So at this point in the Trump administration, these two spineless enablers are responsible for allowing Trump's blatant #Fraud, #Waste, and #Abuse to continue.

    We all need to let them know: 5calls.org

  2. Velké podniky už v EU nesmí likvidovat neprodané oblečení a obuv
    ct24.ceskatelevize.cz/clanek/e

    V Evropské unii v neděli vstupuje v platnost zákaz likvidace neprodaného oblečení a obuvi. Opatření je dalším z kroků EU ke snížení množství odpadu, píše server německé rozhlasové stanice Deutsche Welle. V EU se podle něj každoročně zlikvidují stovky tun oblečení, které se dlouho nedařilo prodat, mělo vadu nebo jej po zakoupení na internetu zákazníci vrátili.

    Zákaz se vztahuje na velké podniky s více než 250 zaměstnanci a ročními tržbami přes 50 milionů eur (zhruba 1,2 miliardy korun). Podniky nyní musejí najít způsob, jak se zbožím, které dříve likvidovaly, naložit. Mezi možnosti patří prodej tohoto zboží se slevou či na jiných trzích nebo jeho věnování charitativním organizacím, píše Deutsche Welle.

    Neprodané zboží budou moci firmy zlikvidovat pouze v případě, že bude nebezpečné, poškozené či padělané, nebo pokud ho odmítnou charitativní organizace. Opatření, které EU schválila před více než dvěma lety, se v roce 2030 rozšíří také na středně velké podniky.

    I was thinking (oh no, here we go again 😀) about how much energy is required / used to create the artificial function of a thought, and compare that to how much energy is used by a trained human, or animal brain for that matter. I was also thinking about how much energy would be needed for even more complex models of thought processing as more and more useless data clogs every process. (1/5)

  15. A quotation from Carlyle

    At length, after infinite effort, the two parties come into actual juxtaposition; and Thirty stands fronting Thirty, each with a gun in his hand. Straightway the word “Fire!” is given: and they blow the souls out of one another; and in place of sixty brisk useful craftsmen, the world has sixty dead carcasses, which it must bury, and anew shed tears for. Had these men any quarrel? Busy as the Devil is, not the smallest! They lived far enough apart; were the entirest strangers; nay, in so wide a Universe, there was even, unconsciously, by Commerce, some mutual helpfulness between them. How then? Simpleton! their Governors had fallen-out; and, instead of shooting one another, had the cunning to make these poor blockheads shoot.

    Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
    Sartor Resartus, Book 2, ch. 8 (1834)

  20. Finally finished my big tub of yogurt that "expired" last October. The factory seal wasn't breached til ~1 month ago, and it's taken me awhile to get it finished. It was fine. Not it's best, but fine. Been eating it with granola from the fridge I'm sure is long expired also, but I threw out the box.

    Lesson:
    Use sense and senses, not arbitrary numbers when analyzing food. It all lasts longer than stated; sometimes much longer.

    This one graphic is an indictment of American Health Care...

    "The U.S. stands alone, far from its peers. We spend roughly twice as much as other western countries for mediocre results. We seem to be exceptionally bad at living longer lives by spending more on healthcare." (from the book I'm writing)

    This is because we don't have an actual system. Just a cobbled together collection of public and private silos with lots of holes in between. Such a non-system is an invitation for waste, abuse, and outright fraud.

    "American Exceptionalism" indeed!
