The minute checks stop going out is the moment shit gets real. This will impact everyone. Yes the people directly getting checks will be in dire trouble. But I don’t think most folks understand just how much our economy relies on this system. Business will take a hit, more people will end up having to support aging parents even more than they do already, and every working American is going to immediately question why they’ve now lost money to this system. Billionaires can fuck around with money because it’s not really or tangible for them, but normal folks… Yea you just don’t fuck with people’s money.

I noticed that too when I watched the video. He’s too obsessed with gold and has always been garish with it. I’m sure it’s why he paints himself orange too. It’s weird.

Hello fellow med tech. The science is the best part of the job. Just wanted to pop in and wish you good luck with school.

I just want to put this out there for anyone who finds themselves in this type of situation. If for some reason you’re titrating down or have suddenly run out of your SSRIs you can take Benadryl to help with the buzzing and brain zaps. I can confirm this works as I have done it in the past.

I don’t subscribe to dull men’s club but I’ve been enjoying the posts showing in my All feed.

Omg there is a name for that. I definitely fear eternity more than I fear death. My only consoling thought is the idea that time is a construct of physical reality so we “have time” to experience living and that really the entirety of time is happening all at once. I have no idea why this idea brings me comfort though.

I’m one of those people that’s switched skill sets and jobs multiple times. It’s great for me because I love learning new things and using the new things I’m learning as it applies to the current job I’m doing. But there is a disadvantage to this in that recruiters don’t know what the hell to do with you and bosses are always suspicious that you will jump ship at the drop of a hat. The ones who do take a chance and hire me have always been happy with my work though.

Can confirm, I can see the post on Bluesky side but can’t see any comments other than Bluesky people for now.

Yea I’m still trying to figure out how a fire truck can physically get around rail road arms. Like at that point why not just drive through them. They break pretty easily and would have been less expensive than destroying a whole fire truck.

Lories are wonderful and playful birds. Sounds like the little lost guy found a great home with you. 😊

Damn that zoo is right up the street from me. I haven’t been in a few years so I had no idea they had pygmy hippos. They do have an emu herd that you can hand feed and a large aviary which is always awesome.

I didn’t pick up any of the deep discount items but I did pick up a few items on my wishlist. I picked up Mouthwashing, WitchSpring R, Little Kitty Big City, the Nonory game collection and Okami HD. I already have the last two but I wanted them in the Steam library so I can play them on my deck.

You know I’ve said “dude” all my life and I still use it all the time in regards to everyone. If I saw that someone was genuinely offended at being called dude I wouldn’t use it again with that person, but now that I really think about it I don’t think I’ve ever heard the term in a derogatory way. Like ever. For me it’s always been a happy/inclusive word for addressing friends. My only worry for now is that saying it shows my age.

Fuck yea this is the best news ever and that trailer looks amazing 😍

I will also add both of the House Flipper games!

Oh I absolutely agree. Gabapentin being one of those “scheduled” and monitored drug about broke me in the lab. Like no one is purposely getting high off of that shit. The Sacklers ruined pain management for everyone and I hope they all burn in hell.

Here we go again more stories about hospitals and CPS services using faulty and/or cheap means of testing to “comply” with regulations at the expense of patient. Why am I not at all surprised. I used to do this testing and when the process is done correctly it works. Here’s how it’s supposed to be done. First off you get a urine from Mom on admissions BEFORE giving any medication. Then you get the meconium and urine from baby after birth. You screen all three and confirm any positive screen with a more stringent confirmation test. Then you compare the three results to get a full picture of any drug usage that may be going on. Mom’s urine will tell you if she’s using within the last 3-5 days depending on the drug with the exception of THC which can stick around longer. Meconium gives you a window of drug use that might have occurred from the second trimester and on. It’s not great to test it on its own because it’s suspectable to faulty specimen collection. (I can’t tell you how many times I got a cup of baby shit instead of real meconium. Real meconium looks like plastic, has the consistency of a mallomar, and usually has a mucus plug attached.)Then you test the baby’s first urine output to determine if they have active drug in their system now. Use all three results together to interpret the big picture. At NO point do you ever give providers the screen results before confirmation. Hospitals and legal entities should be sued into oblivion for prosecuting innocent people over bad procedure and screening results. This shit irritates me to no end.

Well I guess I’ll be playing this again next year.

My dad gave me his old Panasonic TV that he bought back in '08 with the Bush stimulus money. That big fucker is a bitch to move and puts out an ungodly amount of heat, but it’s still going strong and I refuse to get rid of it.

This is the snake equivalent of breeding brachycephalic dogs. It’s bad for the animal and bad for the hobby.
