I’m not there, but yeah masks in crowded public spaces are a must in a society operated by a death cult that is trying to take away vaccines and healthcare access and firing all the infectious disease experts, not to mention the foodborne illness folks.

Only can hope and pray that the institutions can be rebuilt half as fast as they were torn down…

The lasting damage being done to the American people is astounding.

If I were actively trying to destroy the United States from within, going after and dismantling its public health would be like the first thing I’d do.

Just pointing that out.

This is beyond dangerous. It’s leaving us vulnerable in a way we can’t really fathom until it’s too late.

I still suspect the people doing machine learning with classical music don’t understand it well enough to train the machines, it doesn’t work like text, has a different topology, even within individual styles of music but especially across. Nothing against them, people generally don’t understand it

Yeah I had a vision of incorporating GIS data to find locations for that “apple but it’s weed” store that was in the right zoning 1000 feet from a school and etc. just a whole start to finish one stop.

Even with big marijuana, state licensing programs are so state specific (and tailored to try and prevent monopolies) that you almost need boots on the ground local assistance to navigate. Think I’ve missed the window but it was an idea.
