  1. What is it with AI that it can’t put the same number everywhere on the damn jersey?

    And it can’t spell, it seems.

    You’d think it could handle things like that without specific prompts. Then again, maybe that’s a cya against copyright infringement?

     

  2. Same with my MIL, but she’s 25-30min away.

    We got her some alexa devices and put them throughout her house. Hooked to her phone so she could ask it to make a call.

    She was adamant about not wearing some old lady device. It’s not been pretty. She was starting to get catfished by some mother fucker between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Put a stop to that quick, thankfully got things stopped, and back to square one. Needless to say, it’s been difficult.

    My daughters (no pics) comment on my use of punctuation in text messages.  I think I'll start using "over" and "over and out" to see if they like that better.


     

    Even better, send them a voice message with you making a static noise and saying over.

    Biden administration plans to reclassify marijuana, easing restrictions nationwide

    WASHINGTON — The Biden administration will take a historic step toward easing federal restrictions on cannabis, with plans to announce an interim rule soon reclassifying the drug for the first time since the Controlled Substances Act was enacted more than 50 years ago, four sources with knowledge of the decision tell NBC News.

    The Drug Enforcement Administration is expected to approve an opinion by the Department of Health and Human Services that marijuana should be reclassified from the most strict Schedule I to the less stringent Schedule III, marking the first time that the U.S. government would acknowledge its potential medical benefits and begin studying them in earnest.

     

    Attorney General Merrick Garland will submit the rescheduling proposal to the White House Office of Management and Budget as early as Tuesday afternoon, a source familiar with the timeline told NBC News.

    The Justice Department "continues to work on this rule," a Biden administration official said. "We have no further comment at this time."

    What rescheduling means

    Since 1971, marijuana has been in the same category as heroin, methamphetamines and LSD. Each substance under the Schedule I classification is defined as a drug with no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Schedule III substances include Tylenol with codeine, steroids and testosterone.

    By rescheduling cannabis, the drug would now be studied and researched to identify concrete medical benefits, opening the door for pharmaceutical companies to get involved with the sale and distribution of medical marijuana in states where it is legal. 

    For the $34 billion cannabis industry, the move would also eliminate significant tax burdens for businesses in states where the drug is legal, notably getting rid of the Internal Revenue Services code Section 280E which currently prohibits legal cannabis companies from deducting what would otherwise be ordinary business expenses.

    The Department of Justice’s rescheduling decision could also help shrink the black market which has thrived despite legalization in states like New York and California and has undercut legal markets that are fiercely regulated and highly taxed.
