Roger Marshall charged his patients 18% annual interest on their unpaid bills. His bakery bill for $678.75 was due six years ago. At 18% interest compounded annually, the total he'd owe would be at least $1,800. Marshall just paid the bakery $1,300—far less than what his patients would owe.

Such a class act that Kimberly is: She expressed fury at not being on the list for the dinner, which was being organized by Greek House Davos. “You don’t have the f—ing U.S., you know, ambassador to Greece not come. She should be kissing my f—ing ass,” Guilfoyle said of the event’s organizer.

So it is somewhat appropriate that for an astronomical-scale MRI we use NIfTI files and a 3D viewer. We already have 7 slices of Maki, Greebo and Luna, and there are more to come. So this is what we got so far for Cas A light echo by JWST 🔭. NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI. more credits in the page below.

A cop warns on the price of witnessing death.
As a homicide detective, I can say with all of my being that there is no lesson learned in seeing someone die. But there is a price. And that price is your peace. Your decency. And the soul of our society.
We don't have to be this way, this fake tough but real ugly way. Stop

As the situation in Russia unfolds, separating fact from fear matters. So does remembering that infectious diseases know no borders—and neither should our commitment to protecting public health.

Yes, SpaceX owns most of the world's satellites (hotdogguy.jpg), but seriously a big issue is Chinese operators do not share ephemeris data, do not provide notice of manuevers, don't answer the phone to discuss impending conjunctions, and they have 1,000 sats and growing fast

Get your flu shot now. Don’t wait until flu season is in full swing. And as we discussed this morning, know your options. Also, consider keeping a few at-home COVID/flu combination tests on hand. Many are available online for under $10 and may be HSA/FSA eligible.

One thing about Copenhagen is that there's tons of dense housing but you *never* find it fronting a busy road with cars racing past, which describes about 90% of the apartments in the US. They manage to make it feel tucked away, private, cozy. (These are all from Sluseholmen, my dream neighborhood.)

This is now a standard part of Trump's campaign stump, a direct threat to voters: if you elect Democrats, I won't send you FEMA money, and I may take away your Medicare and Medicaid, too. These transcripts will be useful for litigation to follow.

Point of information: The Republican Party has already spent far more on protecting a single U.S. Senate seat in Texas than the TOTAL cost of the 2000 Presidential election for BOTH Al Gore and George W. Bush COMBINED. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...
 The Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee together spent $79.9 million on television ads in the 2000 presidential campaign, far more than the $67.1 million spent by the campaigns of Gov. Bush and Vice President Gore, the study says.
