I'm a nurse in a hospital. We absolutely do NOT consider uninsured people seeking healthcare to be theft.

Would we prefer that people have Medicaid and seek primary care services elsewhere? Of course. So one of the things we do when people come in is get them signed up. Should that be our responsibility? Of course not. But here we are.

This is the one they were waiting for. There are several live cams trained on the area, and one of them caught the exact moment it erupted:

I'm in the middle of book 7 and holy what a shift. I'm in the part where it's so overwhelming, you can't even begin to imagine how this will get resolved. Very excited to read the last two books.

Ah yes, that notorious occupation where Denmark systematically raped and murdered all those Norwegians, installed a corporate kleptocracy to ransack their natural resources for the profit of people half a globe away, and then spent the next 400 years funding coups and dictators to maintain that corporate control.

I don't understand the level of ignorance required to even begin to pretend like these were equivalent situations.

In the United States, sovereign immunity only immunizes the government against lawsuits. It doesn't provide an individual with immunity against criminal prosecution.

There was a running joke over on that other site that there is really only one Nebelung cat, and it's actually a transdimensional creature that can appear in many times and places at once. And that's why all Nebelungs look exactly alike lol

Sodium response is a lot more complicated than that, and a more accurate metric is probably dietary sodium:potassium ratio.

My actual Anatomy textbook is full of these weirdly sensual illustrations that are just.. unnecessary.

I think "several inches" is a bit overwrought. It's like one layer of leaves that will be mulched up the instant I mow next spring. And what is a "good idea"? What's going to happen? Some grass might die. Oh noes, the world will end!

We need to rethink how we live in all respects. And not depleting lawns of nutrients that we have to replace with artificial fertilizer is part of that

Usually I mulch mow my leaves. This year I just left them whole. We'll see come spring how much the anti-leaf doomsayers are correct or not. "It can kill grass!" they say. Well, I'm not trying to make my yard look like a golf course in the first place, so maybe let's start there.

Which is a problem that pre-employment drug testing does not correct in any way, shape or form.

Not gonna lie, being a nurse during a pandemic with that jackass as president broke something in me
