1972: worked in NYC anti poverty program that sent folks to this type of training. NO ONE got a job afterwards. Same w/all other types of private trade schools. Nothing’s changed about the trades - maybe the same here? Sounds like that’s the problem.

Only on my third test, via ultrasonification, was asbestos detected in my dust - it was so finely pulverized: moderate levels

FDNY members want answers after discovery of documents about 9/11 toxins at ground zero Since the 9/11 attacks, 400 members of the FDNY have died from illnesses linked to ground zero toxins.

Decades ago, as a graduate instructor, I pulled the test papers of 2 non-Christians at a public college, for cheating. They professed religious discrimination to the department chairman, who was the same non-Christian that they were – and I am.

Same sh*t, different day

Unfortunately, it’s a labor market reality for this generation

I’ve been to many MUCH more interesting places.

Austrians are old fashioned & stuffy + other unpleasant things. At least Belgians have great food. Both have wonderful architecture.

No, but I went to grad school for a year in Newark Delaware – pronounced NewArk - so I can imagine

Have you ever been to Vienna?

It makes Brussels look lively.

Denmark close to wiping out leading cancer-causing HPV strains after vaccine roll-out A nationwide study suggests infections with human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 have been virtually eliminated since vaccination began in 2008 – protecting even unvaccinated women.

With data like this, who needs trials?

Vienna was NEVER fun & sexy!

The mind-bending power of placebo - Nature Medicine Studies with open-label placebos — sugar pills given without deception — suggest that the placebo effect is more psychologically complex than previously thought.

That’s a problem with AI. Even if you tell it to grab the most recent information, you never know

Thanks! Every instruction Gemini gave me for iOS failed. Since I don’t know how to do this - or that existed - instructions (which I haven’t tested)

Inside CMS’s Troubling WISeR Vendor List and the Power It Hands to Private Contractors CMS’s chosen WISeR vendors include firms tied to insurer-backed venture funds, former Big Insurance executives and private equity.
