Documents show ‘staggering’ denial rate for Medicare AI program in WA

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state.
A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface.
And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

At the Antimatter Factory at CERN there are vacuum cleaners in cages. Those cages are there because when you vacuum the experiment hall, you might pick up some radioactive material, and so the vacuum has to be in a time out until enough half-lives of the contaminant have elapsed.

Today an automated system at work cut me a ticket because a VM my team doesn't own needs a kernel update, and the only reason it decided it was my job to do is because I was the last person to log into it 😭
Anyways I can't log into it anymore xD

We often throw the term "Extremely Online" around a lot, often as an insult to mean someone who's slightly more Online than the speaker.
So, I tried to put some philosophical handles on it.
