Even with the advent of LLM, life experience became more, not less, important to see through "hallucinations".
I use OpenEvidence nearly daily. A doctor would be able to more throughly vet everything due to their more nuanced understanding most if the time. And implementing the information into a treatment plan is better done by a physician.
Same with vibe coding, your experience allows you to spot issues, and potential future issues, which would be missed by non-engineer.

Yeah...
At the time, I was a paramedic on the Critical Care ambulance for the county hospital in a large county—one of the top ten in the U.S. I definitely recall those moments. It felt surreal, as the situation was both very real and, at times, theatrical.
Many, if not most, of the challenges we faced stemmed from the response to COVID rather than from the virus itself.

Learned a lot regarding #TexasBBQ at #Daynes in #Aledo last night. They were ranked #7 top BBQ Spot in Texas by Texas Monthly.
My number 1 take away: I should leave it to the professionals and just eat theirs. 3 days to prepare a meal is too much for me.
Other take aways choosing your #brisket, you want about 11 lbs and flat. In this area Costco > Sam's, HEB also great.
Dayne's now uses "Top ¾ Choice All Natural" instead of Prime.
Relatively fine pepper better than large kernels. As it will swell and fall off.
Trim a lot. Shape matters as it cooks so you don't develop moisture on surface. Looked like an alligator head to me once trimmed.
Season and let rest in fridge for 12-48 hours uncovered.
3 phases of BBQ cooking:
Start low for about 4 hours at 170 to 220F until internal reaches about 165F
Increase temperature to 250 to 300F until reaches 190-203F
Rest for 4 to 14 hours, aiming to maintain 145F
The way to make leans juicy is by having more time between 185 and 200F.
Meat should stretch and yield to pressure, not rebound nor have tight grain.
Wood doesn't matter as much as I thought, flow matters more. Large smoke stacks matter. Dayne's doesn't use green wood, nor Mesquite, which surprised me.
Also, Dayne's just opened a restaurant in Japan.

Average IQ of displaced Somali school children = 67
Conflict and Instability: Decades of civil war have destroyed educational infrastructure and disrupted childhood development.
Malnutrition: Widespread child malnutrition, particularly protein deficiency, can impair brain development during critical growth periods.
Limited Access to Education: School attendance is low (estimated at 28–48%), and many children receive less than three years of formal schooling.
Health Challenges: High rates of disease, including malaria, force the body to prioritize immune function over brain development—a concept known as the "survival trade-off."
Cultural and Test Bias: Standard IQ tests often favor Western educational styles and may not account for different learning or problem-solving approaches.
Methodological Concerns: The widely cited figure of 68 is traced to controversial research by Richard Lynn, whose work has been labeled "scientific racism" and is criticized for small, non-representative samples and questionable methodology.

Instead of requiring safety features no one would willingly pay for on their own vehicles, we should remove the driver's air bag and replace it with a 6" spike pointed at the driver's chest.
Guaranteeing serious trauma if they crash head on, and constantly reminding the driver of the gaurentee.
All the sudden, traffic improves because people stop tailgating and start leaving 4 second following distance in clear conditions which allows proper merging. Proper merging is how engineers design roads and model traffic flow.
And looking down at your phone while driving, same penalties as DWI.

My B.S. degree is kinesiology.
I became a personal trainer at a hospital for a time out of college, I didn't need a degree for that.
Shortly after, I promoted to Fitness Specialist (worked with medically complex clients referred by Drs) and ran 2 locations and departments. Even though I spent hours a day watching videos from industry leaders and reading, I likely would not have gotten that promotion without a degree. I also would not have had the knowledge because I wouldn't have had the curriculum requiring me to learn things that didn't interest me.
Don't know that I wasted money, but certainly wasted time and didn't make money, connection, strong habits when I could have been working far harder than I was.

Some great memories from when we used to combine Power Hour with Beer Club and called it:
5 Pack Beer Night.
Everyone opens a different beer and takes 1 shot of beer every minute on the minute, then pass the beer to your left.
When the first person finished that round of beers, everyone else had to finish theirs. This worked because the gross beers people would pour slightly less. If someone brought something truely hideous, there was sometimes 1/4 to 1/3 left. Kind of a musical chairs / hot potato vibe.
We drank 5 beers because that is a shot a minute for an hour (60oz / 60 minutes) and the remaining beer from every 6 pack went to the host.
Worked best when we had 6 - 8 people.
