re: Elon Musk: Robots will surpass good human surgeons within a few years
Posted by Sweet Pickles on 4/27/25 at 8:22 pm
Robotic surgery has been a thing for almost 30 years. This is just the first competitor to challenge Intuitive. Not sure why Musk is pumping it. None of these are autonomous.
re: Lexus GX-550...Anyone on the board own a Lexus GX550?
Posted by Sweet Pickles on 4/17/25 at 7:46 am
Wife had a GX460. Hit a deer and totaled. Drove a midsized luxury SUV for a month while waiting to find a 550. Put a deposit down on one, drove 150 miles to test drive it. It’s a truck based SUV. Could not go back tot the truck base after driving a midsize SUV for a month. Loved the GX460 but you forget how they ride after not driving for a while. That’s a huge plus for some and a huge minus for others.

re: Indiana - what’s living there like?
Posted by Sweet Pickles on 3/18/25 at 8:25 pm
Grew up in rural south and anyone saying Indiana is full of rednecks, white trash, methhead or nothing but fields is throwing rocks from their glass houses. Has some nice areas. Has some shitty areas. Like most places. Hamilton County just north of Indy is a little slice of heaven. Winters suck. Summers are great. Good place to raise kids. Probably won’t stay once I retire. Will head to Arizona. Did I say winters suck?

The problem is it only applies to admitted students. They are still using race and gender as admission criteria.

I can tell you that there are only a handful of programs that have more resources for basketball than IU. The boosters have sat on their hands (and pocketbooks) waiting for someone to get excited about. They are a true sleeping giant.
re: Andrew Tate’s take on the “Epstein files” is pretty reasonable.
Posted by Sweet Pickles on 3/5/25 at 8:22 pm
Tate is a sociopath. But he also understands how sociopaths think. Most of our politicians are sociopaths. What he is saying doesn’t apply to 90% of the population but it applies to 90% of our politicians. Sad but true.

re: DOJ goes after United Healthcare

I despise health insurance companies, but this is complicated. Medicare requires doctors to add diagnosis codes to the patients record on a yearly basis to accurately identify the complexity of the patient to account for how much money a doctor gets for their “panel” of patients. The question that has to be asked is whether the doctors/insurance companies were actually upcoding or were they just playing the game that Medicare created.

Have a nagging wrist injury and am putting off the fusion surgery I need. MMTs have allowed me to keep playing.

Probably too late to get anything in the park. If you can get a campsite I would rent a small RV through something like Outdoorsy. If not, will have to get something outside the park and spend quite a bit of time driving.

Do you already have lodging? Makes a big difference.

re: Lesson for year 2 of 12-team playoff
Posted by Sweet Pickles on 12/21/24 at 8:00 pm
What data is this based on besides your bias? Bama got beat by Tennessee which is getting SMOKED. Indiana was more competitive than Tennessee against Ohio State and only lost to teams in the playoff. South Carolinas best win was against Clemson who lost by 14 to Texas who got beat by Georgia who beat Clemson by 30. Mississippi lost to Kentucky and Florida. Give me something to back up your statement other than SMU shouldn’t have been there because I agree with that.
