More interested in the quality of your argument, than the loudness of your narrative. Following anyone who has an idea to offer, even if I disagree with it.

@briebriejoy @ryangrim How does agreeing to have an interview with someone on a line of questioning equate to agreeing with how an interview was managed?

FTV was a stupid idea when it comes to extracting concessions as an established political practice;once that fact is recapitulated, debate ends

@Alaskanflower29 @leftistlayman @TheOmniLiberal Exactly, and the reason why it means that legally is because that is what the term meant in a technical sense. The law didn't shape the term, it was the term that shaped the law.

The AMA merely tries to expand the umbrella term for obvious reasons (to include more members).

[Curious Dan @CuriousDan386]

@leftistlayman @Alaskanflower29 @TheOmniLiberal You have it backwards.

The law *uses* the existing term physician because medical doctors who administer medication fall within its purview. The distinction between a medical doctor and a physician was already there. AMA *introduces* a new concept, "resident physician".

I’m going back to the mid seventies tonite. Probably’75. Anyone wanna ride along?

[Curious Dan @CuriousDan386]

@leftistlayman @Alaskanflower29 @TheOmniLiberal Not the whole story, though.

AMA does consider graduates as "physicians" but only because it recognizes a distinct category of "resident physicians".

The law, as well as other bodies, do not have this distinction- they have a (non licenced) MD and a (licenced) physician.

Some of the more bizarre things I have read in a while 😅

[Phys.org @physorg_com]

High-frequency ultrasound at 3–20 MHz can rupture enveloped viruses like SARS-CoV-2 and H1N1 via acoustic resonance while leaving human cells unharmed; the key appears to be the viruses’ spherical geometry. @SciReports https://t.co/qpWJ65eOdr

@topcowmatt Chivalry 2, not much for a story in a multiplayer game, but the gameplay is quite dynamic.

To supplement it, I tend to give backstories to my characters each time I get killed 😅 poor baker's son, pressed into service for the king, gets killed with an axe to the head 😨

[Curious Dan @CuriousDan386]

@topcowmatt Can't go wrong with DC's Absolute Universe (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman...)

Fresh take on the characters, doesn't seem as tethered to classical depictions.

Even if it may not be to everyone's taste, it's something to be studied as a concerted effort in a divergent universe

[Curious Dan @CuriousDan386]

@Mirda1984 @gaghyogi49 Exactly, there is a greater problem here of conceptualization.

If I see a still integrated Borg drone on a vacation on Risa, I dont care the level of plausibility of the explanation. Borg dont go on vacation, especially not on Risa. And Jem'Hadar do not reproduce on their own.

[Curious Dan @CuriousDan386]

@MattKleinman @gaghyogi49 @CryptoTyranus And the idea that his perspective would win out is preposterous.

Solids unironically tried to commit genocide on the changelings. Twice. I don't think the perspective of getting freaky with a Bajoran in the sheets outweighs that reality.

[Curious Dan @CuriousDan386]

@gaghyogi49 @Mirda1984 The problem is that Jem'Hadar being able to sexually reproduce is such a departure from what they are (genetically engineered, vat-bred soldiers), it destroys the purpose of the concept. Hell, it makes it easier to digest if she was part Klingon part Nausican. 2/2

[Curious Dan @CuriousDan386]

@gaghyogi49 @Mirda1984 You are missing the point. Nobody is saying that a plausible explanation cannot be provided. For example, we know that the Jem'Hadar can and do rebel (DS9 4x23), and that a part of a peace treaty with the Founders would be for them to control their own reproduction. 1/2

[Curious Dan @CuriousDan386]

@JerryJarrison @nntaleb @grok In even more normie terms: a 100 points of "what", exactly? A quotient is merely a number, a product dividing test scores.

Height is a function of a physical unit. What is the unit being measured in IQ? "Correct answers"? So it is correlative to begin with.

It's actually pretty good. Has a sense of lighting and tone, and how it can work in favor of telling the story, as well as the emotion behind it.

My son’s short film he made! Difficult time for recent college grads he’s got three jobs and is surviving, but could use any encouragement. I’d appreciate it <3

The prediction, logically, would be a massive correction. We'll see if that is accurate.
