I was part of the Marine Honor Guard at his Inauguration. It was a very cold winter day in January of 1977. I was standing at parade dress trying very hard not to shake from the extreme cold. It was the proudest moment of my service.

My sentiments exactly.
I haven't been to a movie theater in well over 10 years, because of exorbitant prices. Just wait several months or so; it'll be streaming online somewhere.

The USA desperately needs Universal Healthcare. We're the only First World country without it. I doubt I'll see it in my lifetime; but it'll eventually come.

This is very true. And because I'm an old school Boomer, I have to constantly rely on my GenZ son to help me wade through all those APPS and internet stuff.
Anyway, both my Zoomer kids are college grads and hardworking.

They've been talking about this for years now.
What I've wondered, how's it going to negotiate and evaluate rain, snow, ice patches, black ice? Sometimes you just have to pull it over and shut it down and wait it out. How does it put out orange warning triangles after you breakdown? The brakes catch fire? A human can put it out with a fire extinguisher (like I did once).Or when you blow an engine, does it know to coast to the shoulder and get it off the road safely(like I did once).Render assistance to people after an accident. Call 911 to report a drunk driver etc.
I've got a lot of questions.

This gets into Philip K. Dick philosophy.
In the movie "Blade Runner" (1982) with the woman who is a sentient human-like robot. Harrison Ford tells her she's a robot, she becomes horrorfied, and refuses to believe it.
Another good movie on this subject is "Ex Machina" (2014)
and also "A.I. Artificial Intelligence" (2001)

Years ago, I really liked watching the History Channel when it was, well,..about history.
The Ancient Aliens series, and the other sensationalistic type shows that followed, ruined the History Channel.

I might need this stuff soon, I'm pushing 70, and I've got that long-term/short-term memory thing going on. I can tell you things, in detail, what I did 40 or 50 years ago, but I can't remember what I had for breakfast.

This kinda reminds of a co-worker who always had a baloney sandwich with just mayo on it for for lunch everyday.
He called it a "Gringo Burrito"

When I joined the DR, the western movie "Shane" (1953) was playing on TV in the background. I thought, yeah, that's a great handle.
And a great movie too.

This article postulates disturbing questions for philosophers and Theologians, and that is, are we humans really just biological robots?
This is straight out of the movie Blade Runner (1982).I think Philip K Dick was a prophet
