A CT scan of the head is usually one of the first tests used for a stroke. A CT scan can show bleeding in the brain or damage to brain cells. The CT scan also can find other problems that can cause stroke symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

CT angiography uses a CT scanner to produce detailed images of both blood vessels and tissues in various parts of the body. During the exam, contrast material is injected through a small catheter placed in a vein of the arm.

The cost of a full body CT scan depends upon the facility (within a hospital or free standing) and the area. The cost of a CT scan can range from $300 to nearly $7,000, with an average cost of $3,000 in the U.S. However, these prices include CTs for specific imaging purposes rather than full body CT scans alone.

So yes, it may be annoying to have someone ask a question they could have just easily googled, but just be mindful about the chronic annoyance that comes from regularly googling things and having to digest everything that comes from it, usually without satisfactory results.
People are not asking you something because they think you're google, they're asking you because they know you're not google, and trust that you won't give them a google type of response.

(For reference, this was from me wondering if there were ways to prevent strokes or get pre-stroke diagnostic procedures. My interpretation is that we have technology that has some capabilities for doing this but not on a wide scale because, of course, of a price tag. And at this point I have to either stop, or continue along a potentially pointless research rabbit-hole trying to determine what it would take to make ct scans cost-free, which I assume would take me into many fields I have little to no knowledge in...
so yeah I kind of have to stop, or else abandon another pursuit I see the potential for more success in)

I want to experiment with AI music generation, which one should I use? I was about to use Boomy but then I saw their BS terms and conditions. I'm leaning towards soundful right now, but I might try experimenting with more until I find one I like.
Since I'm already an experienced composer who is used to using DAW's and sibelius, I'd like to determine which ai generators or tools suit my style

So I never found one, or at least not one that was worth using, imo. So far every time I tried to use an AI music thing to make music, the interface was just such garbage that I gave up on it immediately. So many of these things supposedly have better features using a paid version, but it feels like it would just be a bigger waste of time and money, given my initial reaction to the free version.

Like, okay, so here's the thing: I used to be a composer. However, I never understood music in the same way as anyone else. I find it difficult to identify music in the ways it is presented, I don't understand genres, and I can't understand lyrics unless I have them written out in front of me as I listen. I attribute some of this to some sort of auditory processing disorder I have, which is one of the reasons why I wanted to try using an AI to help me make music, to help fill in the gaps in production where I am deficient.

But these AI music generators? Like, you know how with image generators, you can see the entire image immediately, so you know what it looks like, and you know if you like or dislike it right away. But you can't look at a 4 minute waveform and know if you will like it. You can't use your ears to glance at a piece of music and understand the whole thing and know if it's good or not, you have to spend the time to listen to the music. To understand it, you may need to listen to it multiple times. You need to hear the composition, the motifs, the rhythms, the mix, the effects, the tempo changes, the dynamics, the panning... there's so much time to be devoted just to listening to a single piece of music to understand what makes it good or what makes it bad, that sometimes? You just want something to be able to shorten that time.

But trying to get that from an AI is hard when the developers designed the AI in a way that is supposed to be understood the way most people do. I don't want the AI to compose something for me, I want it to help me compose something I would make, but I never got that feeling from any AI I tried, and I really don't want to waste my time if that's how they all are.

I like to compose, and often used sibelius to compose my music, and with that I could convert all the instruments into a midi file. Usually that's where I would transfer the midi to a DAW, but what I really want at that point is basically a DAW with AI in it. If that's a thing that exists, I want to know what it is, and if it doesn't exist, I want it to exist, and would make it myself if I knew how to.

If you tell someone that they don't have to wear a mask anymore, you are ruining that persons entire day. You have just reminded them that our plague rat mentality is still alive and strong and we have learned nothing from it. You have shown the world our ass, and have made it a huge target.

This didn't happen today, but it's been a slow cooker, and it has happened at least twice now, and one of them was from a receptionist at the front desk of a behavioral health clinic at a VA hospital. So anyway if you had to guess who might make up a significant percentage of the victims of another outbreak or variant that might occur in the near future you might look to veterans with psychological issues. Gee, I sure hope that's not a metaphorical ticking time bomb or anything, because if it is boy oh boy we're probably not prepared to handle it. Imagine the hypothetical anger of an old man who loses his wife to covid, his one remaining source of comfort and joy in life, all because the receptionist at the front desk told her son she didn't have to wear a mask, leading to him taking off his mask,

Sure is a relief that that's all just a hypothetical scenario! I'm sure nothing bad like that will happen and everything will be fine like it always has been forever and no lessons need to be learned because we're the greatest country in the universe with the most trustworthy of people who only offer the best of advice. Go Beavers!

I see it in my notifications almost as much as my 3D eggbug.

But maybe it's just because covid is spiking again and it probably seems relevant

Because I don't know what "asks" are, in regards to cohost. I don't know a lot in fact, so I kind of just want a way to easily know what things are when I see them.
