One of the cadavers in the cadaver lab operated by the school where I studied was a young (late 30s) male who died of a heart attack, the rest were all well above 65. The ventricles (spaces needed to pump blood) in this man’s heart had shrunk because his heart tissue had grown so large after using steroids. It’s important to know that steroids affect all muscles including the heart. People don’t usually consider the complications of prolonged use.

If you haven’t seen caravan of courage and battle for Endor you’re missing out on some of the first Star Wars extended universe. I love those movies, campy as hell, but fun and weird.

I’m excited to play the new update as I roll around as the subs doc but also sad that I can’t just shoot fentanyl at the crew with reckless abandon.

Especially if you live outside of the US!

Every hen and jay is laying hand grenades over there sir.

I have a Nissan leaf and installed a level 2 outlet at my house to avoid this.

It charges overnight so I wake up and drive to work with a full battery.

Since I usually use it to commute it’s perfect. I have had to use chadmo stations (level 3 and slower than Tesla stations) when on longer trips. That takes about 45 minutes to fully charge? Usually I just top up so I can get home if my range is a bit short.

Some of the newer EVs can use super fast charging stations and fully charge in under 20 mins but those stations are rare. I think to get widespread adoption we would need cars that can hyper charge (or whatever it’s called) and those chargers to be all over.

Agreed.

There’s an argument that more appointment slots means more access but if it’s access to poor quality medicine what’s the point?

Our patient visits are set as 15 minute slots standard.

This isn’t enough time to practice good medicine for anything much more than something like a flu or strep throat. How does one squeeze in an entire rooming process followed by a solid HPI, physical, poc testing and then plan review with pt in 15 minutes?

They don’t.

But with how medicine works (in the US) it’s the how clinics make enough money to stay open.

For clarity: I work at a Federally Qualified Health Center, not a for profit clinic.

Defending a log cabin from monstrous cannibals with my friends on a remote island we explore with highly unsafe electric monowheels.

this is how you end up with a big top burgers campaign

It’s important to respond that yes you do drink Wilkins and enjoy it over other coffee brands to avoid being blasted with a comical cannon.

I stream through Roku (great for plex but no way to block ads on YouTube) and the ads got so bad I paid for premium.

I hate it because I’m reinforcing their shitty business choices but it was like being bullied everyday. YouTube is all I really use for entertainment aside from plex so that’s been one silver lining.

I watched Marry Andrews (the musical) as a kid and now I never forget how to find the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle.

I for one welcome our new metal overlords.

Thank you!!

Is this just for kbin? I’m on Lemmy after migrating but interested in joining if that’s possible, I have a tenuous grasp on the fediverse 

Just finished it, overall thought it was a fun read.

I liked how it felt like someone just let loose 1950s America to grow without restrictions and that’s what you get. Sort of like fallout without the world ending if you played those games.

Seeing the big concerns of the time pop up in scifi is also really neat and you can really feel it throughout the book.

Picked it up from the library! Thanks for the recommend. I needed a new read
