    Siri should be able to tell you what's wrong with her host machine.

    I wonder how long it will be before Siri and Alexa are AI.

    Siri, when I just now asked her, said she was “not a person or a robot, just software, here to help”.

    hmmmm, truth or deceit through avoidance?

    How can a computer program be non-binary?
    I think Siri has caught the woke bug…….

    Speed cameras implemented!- Information courtesy of LAW OFFICES OF ALAN J SCHWARTZ,PC

    New traffic Speed cameras were installed in 44 location on the Long Island Expressway ( LIE)

    First 30 days you'll get a warning⚠️

    They set up and did tests in those areas. In 45 minutes they had 6,500 tickets. Each ticket is $50 (first offense), that's $325,000 in 45 minutes.

    The LIE runs along the middle of the Island to NYC is one of the major highways in this area, I beli⁸eve these cameras will cause traffic issues by creating more jams.
    The speed limit is still 55 mph from when the federal government imposed an embargo on speed because of gasoline shortage in 1974. The embargo was cancelled in 1987, the speed Limit did not go back to the 65 mph it was Prior to the embargo. To call the LIE an Expressway is funny, S/B called Slo-way.

    All of my health websites have gone "Woke."

    I was on Livestrong looking up the dosage of something, and they said it depends on whether you're AFAB or AMAB...Assigned Female At Birth or Assigned Male At Birth. To make matters more insulting, after they lay that out there, the damned dosage is the same for both men and women!

    This garbage has got to stop. How did everyone get browbeat into incorporating "stupid" into everything???

    Would be nice if we had a remote control where we can change the channel when we wanted. I try not to read about this kind of stuff because there's nothing I can do about it.

    John the dosage may be the same but the ingredients maybe different. I'm sure you wouldn't want to take a female hormone now nor would I want to take a hormone for a man.

    Dosages are generally, although not always, larger for men than women because they generally are larger and usually have higher metabolism. Ingredients in formulations DO differ, and some minerals are more important for one sex over the other.

    I don't think John's issue is with dosage, but with the woke verbiage on that website. Instead of simply 'Male' or 'Female,' it's a word-salad of woke absurdity. (I was NOT "assigned" female at birth; I AM a female.)

    It sounds like some committee decision, or that there is a quota/ratio that doctors "decide" upon. That being said, I read an article once saying that doctors have made on-the-spot decisions when babies have had "ambiguous genitalia." I don't know if that's true, or if it was an early salvo to get us where we are today.

    I "assume" that with DNA testing so accessible these days, it will be simpler to figure out ambiguous genitalia.

Was charged $3 for using card vs check or cash! :mad:.This dang town is 30 years behind on technology, but yet they are already charging as if they were evolving in the tech field.
