First full attempt at consomme using a more scientific approach. e2e in under an hour, instead of like a full day.
Got myself an instant pot for my birthday and trying out some non-traditional approaches to dishes that take far too many hours.

@mcuban.bsky.social Why don't you replicate how Canada started its UHC?
Pick a state, maybe partner with @gavinnewsom.bsky.social, as they already have a lot of programs. Consolidate that to a basic HC plan.

So, I had to put on my coat when going for a walk this morning, and as I'm working away I look out the window and am like "is that a dog swimming in the lake?" - it's actually a person swimming!?! And yes, that is snow on the hills across the lake.

@mcuban.bsky.social wrt your healthcare question, I'd point you to Wellmark Iowa. A well run Blues, committed staff, focused on delivery of services. They have a profit cap, and could easily run the administrative side of HC for the state.

Me: why is my hummingbird shivering
Gemini: Hummingbirds can enter a state of torpor, where they rapidly lower their body temperature and slow their heart rate to survive until morning. This process can look like shivering and is a vital survival technique for them.

@swardley.bsky.social this seems like a very visible shift. While China plays go, and everyone else is struggling with checkers, everyone is having to travel east to ensure that they keep those essential supply chains running.
That's a big visual.

Most places won't have that though, and countries applying those laws won't instantiate a Person Credential and system to support that.
