This. When “frontier” started getting deployed in context of AI, I thought “Were there no humanities majors in the room?” Maybe some marketing team thought it romantically evoked pushing boundaries/space exploration. But it also connotes lawlessness, exploitation of people and resources, even death.

I don't think we are talking loudly enough about this. Staring this November 2026, there will be a 1 HOUR TIME DIFFERENCE between: * The Greater Vancouver BC area, and * Point Roberts, WA - in the dark red box below. The thick gray line right north of Point Roberts, WA, is the US-Canada border.
Screenshot from openstreetmap.org, showing the area around the boundary between British Columbia, Canada, and Washington, USA. Just south of the Tsawwassen ferry terminal is an area known as Point Roberts, and that is on the US side. There is no boat service nor airport at this peninsula, so residents of Point Roberts, WA, have to enter Canada to go shopping, to travel anywhere.

高雄病院理事長の江部康二先生の『内臓脂肪がストン!と落ちる良事術』を読んでたら、こんなご指摘が。 バカにしてはいけないそうです。 先生ご自身が仰るのでしたら。。。 でも、これは知人にでも容易に持ち出せる話題では無いですよね。 「今朝、勃ったんだけどさぁー、オレ、元気でよかったなぁー」 なんて、言ってしまってよろしいんでしょうか。 実際には言えません、そんなことぉー🫣🤭🫢🤫
20代の頃と変わらない体型
私は京都にある高雄病院の理事長で、医師の江部康二と申します。
1950年生まれの69歳です。身長167cm、体重57kgは、20代の頃と変わりありません。
身長は、年をとっても縮んでいません。
歯は全部残っていて、虫歯も歯周病もありません。
視力もよく『広辞苑」の小さな文字も裸眼で読めます。
聴力の低下もありません。
毎日7時間睡眠で、夜中に尿意で目覚めることもありません。
定期的に飲んでいる薬もなければ、サプリメントとも無縁です。
コレステロール値も中性脂肪値も、基準値に収まっています。
いんけいぼっき
いまも朝勃ち(正式名:夜間陰茎勃起現象)します。
朝勃ちなんていうと下品に思われるかもしれませんが、動脈硬化、内臓発、うつ病などのバロメーターにもなりますから、バカにしてはいけません。
