Agreed. There are a lot of posts in here about movies that are great as standalone movies.

Most people don’t sleep next to doors to the outside. Most windows are always locked. The least common way of a burglary happening is someone picking a lock.

You will be awake with a significant amount of seconds to grab a gun if someone breaks into your home.

As to doing it 24/7? Jesus, did you even read the rest of the post? That was the whole point of what you were replying to. They specifically said they think it’s true that carrying it most of the time isn’t the point.

Maybe it’s due to growing up in the wild internet era, where making international friends was simpler than trying to befriend the other dolts in the cafeteria, but I’ve always chuckled at people using cunt as an insult. It’s such a gasp inducer among the older crowd, but even when I was just learning the word, it struck me as odd, and my thoughts were always in line with that one quote about pussies being able to take a pounding.

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

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.

No other holiday gets more than 48 hours of observance, including prep time. Even extra Halloween candy is done being talked about after a day or two once the discounted stuff is bought up.

Halloween is the only other thing that gets any attention around me. It only takes up october though, not half november through half january.

I would lose my mind. Holy hell.

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.

That’s just good practice in general. Everyone where I’m at rushes straight through medic school if they have the money/time, and it shows. They barely know how to talk to a patient, and then you’re throwing all the various blacktop training at them.

but at least the professionals have the training to deal with that somehow

Ha. You want to know the training you get for dealing with death? It’s a couple of sentences uttered by an instructor when some bozo in the class has more curiosity than thought and asks about the ‘yep, he’s dead’ policy. Most of the time you’ll have one of a pair who has done it before, and they just tell the other one what to do (like putting on the electrodes or looking around the room to see what else has been done). That’s the whole of it, adding in the jokes that will be told and the mild amusement of watching the other’s reaction when you grab a coke out of the dead dude’s fridge (I didn’t, but the more experienced one had when he was stuck at a house for six hours).

He’s mocking the typical route of a soldier with a story: a memoir or fictionalized tale of what they did, with the hope the book sells enough to get them a chunk of money or a movie studio makes a movie of it.

It’s going to depend on their condition. Someone who has lost their respiratory drive, someone who has a heart that isn’t working, and someone who is dying of organ failure all have their unique way of passing. And those are just the ones I’ve seen. There’s a saying in my field that everyone dies of shock, but there are lots of ways to get to that point.

Tesla is a pretty clear example of what’s ‘wrong’ with stocks as a capital/market correcting factor. The value of a stock is solely dependent on what people think it’s worth, and meme stocks go uuuuuup!

I do not care if you keep a facebook account open just to talk to your dear aunt Ethel over the holidays

I do care. Aunt ethel got used to twitter, she got used to facebook, she got used to messenger when they forced that switch… she can get used to signal/matrix/xmpp or whatever else you desire.

Doing it once may be overlooked, but the second time, you’re in for a real hard time!

Plus, remember that there are always ‘factors’ that are involved in being able to get away with killing someone using a vehicle. Make sure you’re white, they’re a minority, you’re rich, they’re poor, you are in a friendly relationship with the police officer who will show up on scene, or the prosecutor, get a good lawyer (part of you’re rich, I suppose), have something about the other person that is really negative (can be part of they’re a minority if you’re in a really red area)… any I’m forgetting?

you do you

I always do. It’s why this is so sad.

OOoooooh, aight. Well, in that case, let me give you some advice I got from my 15 year old friend when I was 13: conditioner is dangerous, shampoo will do.

Well, one of us is getting their hair pulled in bed tonight, then softly stroked and twirled around the lover’s fingers…

and I don’t think it’s you.

There are 8 billion folks on the earth, and half are guys. I’m sure there are a few who have that thought, but it’s just like anything else: numbers make a mockery of all/none or even most/some claims.

The part about it being gay is also just for trolling/stupid dunking purposes. I would bet that if you got the people you were asking the question of to read a few books and learn to express themselves, you’d find that most people don’t scrub their asshole because it’s generally seen as dirty and contaminated, so they limit themselves to using the toilet paper, thereby not contaminating their hand or wash cloth in the shower. Nothing to do with thoughts of it being gay or not.
