He also made him a buff/hot space traveler who fist fights the devil and wins (the protagonist of Out of the Silent Planet/Perelandra is based on Tolkien).

In their 90s? Gimme some bread and dancing then!

Yeah, though clues are few and far between; the

spoilermuseum in Tanchico with the Mercedes hood ornament
is the biggest clue. From Jordan's other writings, the
spoilerFirst age was our time, then humans created an AI powerful enough to genetically engineer humans to be able to do magic,
and that led to the Age of Legends.

Losing consciousness for any reason = ER. A friend passed out during dinner and we weren't sure what to do, so we called the triage nurse and they were like "ER now!" (He was fine, they never figured out what happened and it's never happened again, but it's definitely stayed with me.)

Great criteria. Another "straight to the ER" one is loss of consciousness; people get knocked out in movies all the time so it's easy to assume it's fine, but it's not.

Plastics industry: "See?! We told you plastic decomposes and doesn't just stay in landfills forever. Happy now?"

And they put the operating rooms on the top floor so nearby pedestrians wouldn't hear the screaming so loudly.

I thought it meant that all the icons/interfaces for AI seem to have a graphical gradient between colors, usually cool colors like blue/purple/pink. (Like the face in the meme)

I recall they lowered guys out of a helicopter on ropes one year, too. It was hilarious to walk around the floor at E3 and see CoD or whatever guys in their fakey-looking booth bro costumes pass real army guys wearing real uniforms passing out enlistment info and ads for America's Army. Why pay booth bros when you can just assign some soldiers you're already paying?

 

I have a friend who likes making care packages for people; anyone know of a good outlet for that? Before Reddit got big there were a few good places on there but I'm drawing a blank now.

 

“Life-and-death decisions relating to patient acuity, treatment decisions, and staffing levels cannot be made without the assessment skills and critical thinking of registered nurses,” the union wrote in the post. “For example, tell-tale signs of a patient’s condition, such as the smell of a patient’s breath and their skin tone, affect, or demeanor, are often not detected by AI and algorithms.”

“Nurses are not against scientific or technological advancement, but we will not accept algorithms replacing the expertise, experience, holistic, and hands-on approach we bring to patient care,” they added.

 

I started editing Wikipedia more seriously over the last couple of months, and this video has a bunch of useful information and how-tos that I wish I had then, and some stuff that I still didn't know. I really like contributing to such a useful resource, and knowing that every little edit I make helps everybody who wants to learn about that topic!
