What if Ukraine invades Russia and overthrows Putin? And established a better government with interest in caring for the people, nuclear de-escalation, and better foreign relations?

I know it’s never going to happen, but imagine how great that would be? St. Petersburg isn’t that far into Russia…

Seriously doubt it. Elective surgeries were likely cancelled, which could certainly prolong suffering for some, but life saving surgeries can absolutely happen and do without computers.

I was unaware of “Project 2025”, interesting read! While that does contain multiple concerning ideas, this is far from a reliable manifesto. Additionally, ties have been drawn to the Trump campaign, but these are loose ties and appear primarily to be op-eds. Trump has also disavowed ties to this “publication”. Lastly, that “Washington Post report” is another one of those vague articles featuring “according to sources familiar”.

While this may be true, and a drone strike may be ordered on US soil, the President will not be the one controlling the drone, not directly in command of that person. The UCMJ supercedes in the case.

I’d like to try to assuage your fears regarding a protest meeting missiles or drone strikes. Yes, the President can order drone strikes with impunity. It’s been that way since the first use of drones, early as the Obama era (maybe earlier, but I was a bit young then).

However, this does not apply to US soil. One of the benefits of state sovereignty is that federal armed forces can’t operate on US soil. National guard gets involved, at the governor’s request, but they don’t have missiles or drones. Police are barbaric, but they also don’t have missiles or drones.

So I don’t think we’d see much of an escalation in terms of weapons of violence with regards to protests when compared to 2020.

Ranked choice voting. A system that is FAR better than our current system, but stands as a threat to our complacent two parties, and therefore will never become a realization.

That’s the standard these days. BLS, ACLS, PALS, NRP, ATLS are the ones I know of and all have ~8-12hr online course preceding a ~2-4hr in person course.

In addition, this article is about his “plans” to do this. Not about his actions. Every election cycle around this time the incumbent president puts out articles about his (because there’s been no her yet) “plans” to reclassify or otherwise loosen marijuana restrictions, but nothing ever happens.

Right, I read that part. I’m not very knowledgeable on the topic, but wouldn’t a top bunk have a railing?

For what it’s worth, I’ve seen plenty of inmates who “fell from the top bunk” and they have obvious knuckle marks on their cheeks from being punched. So I’m a little suspicious of those kinds of “falls”.

I’m usually one to discount news stories for being dramatic and misleading, but this one is pretty rough. Unsure how she fell in the first place, but the video of her on the floor with the pointed toes is rough to watch. That’s a hard one to fake, and is a clear sign of spinal trauma.

We had TPLO on our girl. Scheduled the consultation, then in between consultation and surgery the other ligament blew. So they did both legs at the same time. The cost was about $5-6k in total. First 1-2 weeks was rough because she couldn’t use half of her legs, and so would require being carried out and would balance on her front legs to pee. I’m hindsight, it was hilarious.

She’s just as rambunctious now as she was before tearing her ligaments, so it was absolutely the right choice.

This is more of a fluff piece than actual advancement. Here is the meat of the article:

Hippocratic says its Constellation model outperformed real nurses 79% to 63% in identifying a medication’s impact on lab values; 88% to 45% in identifying condition-specific disallowed over-the-counter medications; 96% to 93% in correctly comparing a lab value to a reference range; and 81% to 57% in detecting toxic dosages of over-the-counter drugs.

Basically, these are low hanging fruit things, not the primary job of those “expensive” nurses. We need to look at this AI against scheduling appointments, determining whether the complaint is critical to go to ER, can wait a few days, or routine and can be handled over the phone.

That someone was RIGHT!

Interestingly, he was silent for 3 weeks after being assigned to the bug, then came back to post his blog post and nothing else. I’ve seen this blog post a few times today, looks like his self promoting strategy is working.

That actually shows it, thank you!

Am I the only one who can’t actually see the injury in the video? Whoever edited the original footage removed the most relevant part of the video and made a 2 minute video out of a 5 second clip and didn’t even include the useful part of the 5 seconds. Not sure how everyone is able to state with confidence the malicious nature from this poorly edited video.
