US citizens never needed to be vaxed to enter. And never needed a test to cross by land.

The test was required for anyone entering by air.

The vax was required for any non-citizen.

And amazingly enough, we took longer to remove the requirement than Canada.

I suspect this is one of the annoyance filters to deal with annoying "give us your email" popups, seeing as it only seems to block a very specific line of Javascript.

I have the annoying filter enabled. I don't remember if TGP normally makes such an annoying popup.

Even with the huge bill, the healthcare may still be of poor quality, or limited. So both?

Like, even with $67,000 bill, that only covers amputating leg, not fixing leg. Or insurance only covers the cheapest remedy, which is amputating leg...

In NYC, they removed all of the public payphones on the street and replaced them with expensive and unreliable wifi kiosks. There's a tablet on the kiosk that can make local phone calls, on speakerphone...

I see privately operated payphones sometimes still, but they're getting rare.

I've seen some telco-placed payphones in National Parks with questionable cell service recently... Paradise visitors center in Mt Rainier, WA and Hawaiian Volcanos NP visitors center on the Big Island, Hawaii come to mind...

The Unbreakable Umbrella is great. I carry the collapsible version, my friend uses the full size version when he can't carry a firearm on the job.

Assuming you don't live in San Diego, carrying an umbrella is generally pretty reasonable.

That's really useful.

I spent a couple of hours trying to get it to generate copy/pastable markdown, as it's doc generation is pretty good, but the formatting of the output is sometimes weird because the responses are formatted as markdown internally.

I use it a lot as a tool to generate code, but not a full program. Basically, it lets me be an engineer, while it goes and fills the role of a code monkey. It's not perfect, but it saves a lot of time and toil.

GPT-4 is not good for code, GPT-3.5 is good.

Also remember if you run out of response, you can tell it "continue previous response".

When you drive a big vehicle, the cuck uber drivers all get out of the way out of fear. It's not too bad.

Johnny Cash sang about a Boy named Sue. Somehow... that would be different today...

The first 3 frames are from Weird Al's "Party in the C.I.A." video. This may be accurate...

There was a huge market for used toilets (and grey market Canadian imports) in the mid 90s when the EPA mandated the first low-flow toilets. The first gen low-flow toilets were awful... they clogged all the time...

There's usually some rule about overtime starting when too many hours are worked in a given period (e.g. after 40 hours in 7 days) or too many continuous hours are worked in a single shift.

Firefighters don't generally work 9-5...

He said it in the CPAC speech, pretty early on.

Edit: He probably said it around 5:50-5:55 ET, and he started talking right around 5:30 or so.

On top of this, while there are two 747s well known to be Air Force One, there is also a pair of 757s, mainly used to visit airports that are too small to fit a 747.

I attended a Trump Rally where he arrived on one of the 757 Air Force Ones in 2020 (Opa Locka).

(Trump's personal plane is also a 757, he made some jokes about this).
