And, as my friend who was restoring a vw bus laughed about, if there were any problems with the engine and your air tubes weren’t perfectly sealed… wonderful exhaust fumes straight into your face.

The blood spots and bruises are just associated with getting old (and yes, some other things). I’m so used to seeing them on older patients, even ones not on blood thinners / clot reducing agents, that this thing with trump just screams nothingburger to me. Like, we know he’s old. We’re hoping it gets him soon… but stop just telling us things about him that show he’s getting old, you silly media.

The theory about him and the dementia treatment is interesting, but still just meh.

But I like xfce… :'(

I mean, it’s both good and bad. The amount of downvotes mean there is a large subset of folks who no longer recognize the twisting of stallman’s rant. They are new to linux, and not super-serious-no-casuals-allowed penguin lovers. It’s bad because I would love if everyone coming to linux could be as into it as I am. People who are invested into a thing take a much deeper look at things, and can appreciate it’s soft and jagged parts and then properly make recommendations on how to change things.

Holy fuck, I never realized all of that happened within a single week.

Brian Jacques, the og feast describer. I definitely tried his recipe book and enjoyed a lot of it.

Ugh, you’ve never had to be around jeep peeps, then. They’ll start bragging about their dana 44 axles while babying the car down a graded gravel road. /eye_roll

I’m wondering if scale, as in the crud that can build up on certain materials under certain conditions, is simply derived from the fish scale sense. It would seem like it, since it’s the ‘shell or husk’ Otherwise, yay, a fourth meaning!

I think the best way I’ve seen was to just poke the number of holes in the dirt or draw a picture, labeling them until you get to your base switching moment.

Lol, ranges aren’t necessarily any better. Hopefully they have someone enforcing safety rules, but there are a great deal of them that are in suburban areas, and even the rural ones can be within striking range of homes.

Thanks, I will.

My favorite part about the continuous monitors is that they really show the incompetence of the clinics that are supposed to be managing us diabetics. There is a freaking option to share the data with your doctor (this is dexcom’s system thingie), but mine just asks for my account information so they can login with that and get the data. Like, whyyyy?!? You could manage all of us from one account rather than logging in a thousand different times.

Then we get to the bullshit terms and conditions, where the real hate begins… fucking device maker can go hog wild with all of our data and share it with whomever they want. Can’t use the device, after all, unless you agree to it. HIPAA is basically dead at this point.

Oh, and I also know from firsthand experience how much the cheaper devices can suck. The tandem pump drives me low just about every day. It absolutely blows balls at using the readings from the continuous monitor, while omni and medtronic do just fine.

And to expand on the other answers you received, it’s hilarious (and perhaps old now… I saw something about medical debt now being counted on credit scores and I’m sure attacks have been made on medical debts in general) that the advice typically given was to NEVER make a payment on any medical debt, because that counted as a commitment towards paying, and the laws that eventually made medical debts go away no longer applied, so the debt companies would have more ammunition to use against you in court.

There’s a third that the dumbasses in my life choose: tortiuous interference by the mafia!!! OOoooohOOOOh!

I don’t know that I’d include judaism on a list of “three major religions.” Hinduism and buddhism have much better claims on being in the top three.

Stop, you’re confusing them! And when they get confused, they hurt everyone in their confusion!

I’ll just sit back and observe that with interest, thank you.

Not the rich kid. More like the government/republikidfucker plant. Notice how every post he made has some mentioning of under the table or off the books or without a permit? He’s trying to get ideas planted about how these workers are shoddy and doing illegal things and undercutting real, licensed, above board workers.

Yeah, it’s supposedly a symptom of a particular mental degeneration, but diagnosing without a full workup and being in person with a patient is a little bit of a faux pas.

Since you deleted your comment, I can’t really address exactly what you said and I’ll have to sort of do it by memory of what tone you had, but don’t be caught without a plan. Even if the plan is just running when you see ice approach, it’s better than just being a deer in the headlights because you’ve blithely told yourself you won’t be targeted.

I wish we would see the equivalent of the la riots where shopowners banded together with guns on top of their shops, but perhaps even consider what you can do if you see someone you’re vaguely familiar with being taken by ice. The golden ideal would be a community driven communication of ice tracking, from the moment they leave their little compounds until they get to the rental car place and then their targeted areas, but things will have to get a lot worse before there’s enough people to band together for that. You could start (I have four of us in my area) with just your friends and you tracing where they’re going from news reports or social media in your area.
