>3. It’s irresponsible to call colonoscopies “invasive” (as CNN did) since that might make people think they are unpleasant and not do them.

They are invasive, they are also unpleasant. It isn’t irresponsible to say those things it’s just true.

It sounds like you are reacting to the caffeine. Decaf still has somewhere between 5 and 20% the amount of caffeine as regular coffee

I would make the distinction "visuals" vs "plot and characters" in the case of rings of power. It undoubtably looks fantastic and for many that is enough for it to be good, regardless of the plot or characters.

The horse riding scene perfect.

- There is no build up, nothing is at stake, they are just travelling to the setting for the next scene.

- The gratuitous close ups of the horse.

- Its one of the three ways people get places, why would the millennia old Galadriel be so ecstatic? There has been no hint that Galadriel is really into riding horses.

- The music and slow motion are so comically over the top.

"The SEC’s order also finds that NVIDIA’s omissions of material information about the growth of its gaming business were misleading given that NVIDIA did make statements about how other parts of the company’s business were driven by demand for crypto, creating the impression that the company’s gaming business was not significantly affected by cryptomining.

The SEC’s order finds that NVIDIA violated Section 17(a)(2) and (3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and the disclosure provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The order also finds that NVIDIA failed to maintain adequate disclosure controls and procedures. Without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings, NVIDIA agreed to a cease-and-desist order and to pay a $5.5 million penalty."

I found the images with gibberish text to be unsettling, it reminded me of the mimic creature at the end of Annihilation.

This is amazing, I wish I could play with it.
