On the oral Ivermectin, compare the cost of using the inject-able (50CC or 250 CC bottle) vs. the paste. As far using the paste as a creme, that's cost effective. Godspeed! 1 Peter 2:24.

So, yet again, "Higher Ed" behind the times.

Companies are forcing AI into as many jobs as possible, reducing head count and relying on the people that can write good prompts. What does "higher ed", restrict its use, demonize it, and provide ZERO prep for 'THE REAL WORLD'.

AI is a TOOL! Use a cheater pipe when you have to, but MY WORD use an impact wrench when you can!

This needs to be a key illustration why any term limits should to apply EVERYONE in the buildings.

You put a 'good' freshman congress critter in and they get a staff of swamp creatures that lead them around by the nose.

NOBODY stays more than 24 months! GONE FOREVER!

So the senate thinks they are slow walking the Trump administration's agenda, while in fact they are empowering teammates that have nothing to lose by doing exactly what we approved by vote. NICE!

So I guess that is what I am thinking, it will take a human at the intake point to refuse to accept, but if accepted, it seems like the system will just work and they will get delivered. Thank you.

I wonder about how this practically will work. If "letters" with proper postage are given to a local office, how will the orders from the top be applied, USPS would not know the contents ...or do they???

Level 4: Personnel quarters --- capacity 2,400 for extended operations

Does the math add up here? How many people are in a 3 story Hampton Inn? Plus just food service for that many?

Consider this scenario, your child is holding your hand, and the two of you are talking about the exhibit, a military age man grabs your child and throws them into the exhibit. Mom or Dad would not be calmly holding that child's hand with enough force to keep the hand from slipping out.

Who has trained for that?

Well, in what I am living, quotas increase, margins improve, goals are met, and pay declines. Not serving the greater good does not apply, it's corporate, it is the greater bad.

The comment is appreciated, but I note there is no discussion of the premise presented.

The "Relics" or Boomers busted their tails and WERE rewarded for all of themselves they gave companies, to now, be in the position of authority, demand the same level of sacrifice they gave, BUT block and thwart advancement and reward.

The "whine" portion of the response may allude to the corporate tactic of 'carrot and stick'. Have a great Standingoak!

My soap box, another boomer occupying a job that should be filled by someone much younger. This, in part, is the same mentality throughout corporate American where the boomers are running companies into the ground, bleeding workers dry, and not getting out of the way for the next age group of Americans.

There are two coworkers in my group that each have 50 years with the company. Each could retire comfortably or consult for more money, but they stay while 30 year olds with kids get "laid off".

I saw a video of a Dr., he said the topical cream formulated for humans is 1% and mentions using horse paste at 1.87% Here is a link, it's not the video I am remembering, but same topic.

Yes. Constant scabs on scalp. Treated with horse paste 2x daily. Cleared up in about 90 days.

Ah, the "welfare check"...too many of these end up like this.

"I am fine, now go away"

"No, we have to put you in hand cuffs and 'confirm' you are fine."

And so the cycle continues.......

I guess civics don't apply, or they gutted the US government idea, but since when is a "town mayor" legally above a Sheriff?

Replace "health care" with "college" or "education". The useless degrees would disappear.

Thank you BWC!

Peter Steinberger, creator of the open-source AI agent framework OpenClaw and current engineer at OpenAI, posted a screenshot of a $1.3 million monthly token bill in May 2026.

Usage: The bill covered 603 billion tokens across 7.6 million requests from approximately 100 Codex instances running GPT-5.5 simultaneously. Cost Drivers: The high cost was largely due to Fast Mode pricing; disabling it would have reduced the bill to approximately $300,000. Purpose: The tokens were used for autonomous software development tasks, including reviewing pull requests, scanning for security vulnerabilities, and writing code for his open-source project. Who Paid: OpenAI covered the cost as a research investment, as Steinberger joined the company in February 2026.

When companies start paying for tokens, and the swirling money gets to the data center construction companies, this is going to expose the true cost. What happens next? Will fired workers return?
