Yet another reason I don't trust AI and won't trust it. It's a slippery slope of trusting someone else's machine... someone else I don't know. Blind reliance like this was just asking for disaster: and that's what happened.

The state of U.S. health care. It's not "health insurance", it's racketeering. We should get insurance companies OUT of the health care business except for catastrophic care coverage. If we pay as we go with a health savings account (that doesn't expire), quality of care will go up and prices will go down as provider competition kicks in. I don't know what's funny about this, as I don't think it's funny at all.
 
A warning that trusting your data to someone else, and storing it all on their computer drives, makes you (and your data) vulnerable to the whims of people you will never know.

My sister is very schooled in playing the piano from sheet music. As a child, she played for the high school music groups. Put the sheet music on the piano and she could play it first time through. But here is what's strange, she plays many instruments very well. From wind to string she has taught herself to play them and owns many. She plays them all by ear and does not use sheet music. Both blow my mind. I had difficulty playing the radio. :)

I long forgot about how to read sheet music over all, I used to read it like it was a breeze when I was singing with the church, but alas that talent by itself made it slipped away.
 
I remember reading something about this new thing called a "compact disc" in the early 1980s but it wasn't available in the United States. In fact, the first time I ever saw the technology was at the Navy Exchange in the Philippines in late 1984. I bought the portable Sony Discman; the battery pack (took 8 D-cells); and 3 CDs from the VERY limited selection. Yes' "90125" and Alan Parsons Project's "I Robot" and "Pyramid". I just about wore them out playing them; I still have all 3 and they still play like new.

The first commercial Compact Disc was created 43 years ago, today — nearly one billion CDs were shipped per year in early 2000's

CDs are still popular with some music fans, despite the rise of digital streaming platforms.

You have great taste in music my friend! I had a great Vinyl library and was half pissed about the CD tech. It was so handy and no need to treat the media with kids gloves. It was the greatest thing since sliced bread at the time. I knew from the onset that my albums were going to go idle. I had no idea they would have a another day in the sun. At least I kept my vinyl. I likely only have a hundred or so compact disks. I do not have Alan Parson's I Robot CD and don't even have a player anymore. Wish I had both. MP3 is another matter. :)
