At the same time, striving for monopoly is the only way some segments can survive. An independent hospital is doomed, but a health system has leverage to get better reimbursement rates from insurance providers.
A strong stance would be saying you're committing troops to the defense of Ukraine. This is not much more than the international political version of thoughts and prayers.
No, we'll feel the effects while he's in office. We did last time!
They'll just all pretend it isn't happening, just like last time.
Worse than doing jack shit. He's going to make prices skyrocket.
My personal desktop machine is a Linux box I assembled from $500 worth of parts about 14 years ago. I've increased RAM and added about 8TB of storage for an Emby instance.
It still manages to get the job done, but it is obviously way, way, WAY overdue for replacement. We've been struggling financially for about 25 years.
Now I'm thinking I need to finally pull the trigger and get it done before January.
I'm on allo now, but it took too long and the damage is done. Not so bad that I can't still move. Just enough to remind me that I screwed up.
Yeah, no question. Pain is still pain. There's just an aspect of discovering how much more you can endure than you thought you could until what was once unbearable is just your normal.
There's an element of truth in this.
I slipped on the ice in February 2021. I got up, hopped in my car and drove to work.
When I got there, I took my coat off and noticed my arm hurt a bit. I figured it was just a bad bruise, but folks said I should get an X-ray to be sure. I work in a hospital, so it was no big deal to get a picture done.
Turns out I fractured my arm. My wife and my doctor both asked how I managed to drive to work with a broken arm. I told them it just didn't hurt that much.
The reason it didn't seem that bad is because I also have gout. Gout reset my pain scale. What used to be a 8 is about a 3 now.
We made Macaroni and Cheese, Peas, and Bacon tonight.
That wasn't a picture of tonight's. It's an older picture. Looks the same though.
I wrote up the recipe a few years ago to add to the knowledge base at work, and I included a suggested serving size:
Customary serving size: enough to make you feel unwell, then 1 helping more
I don't. Just carry it home. Why are people so damn irresponsible?
If you don't want to carry the poop to your own trash, either don't have a dog, or let it shit in your yard.
The terrorists in the middle east depend on the West not having the stomach to kill women and children.
Tell me if there will be any terrorists left in Gaza after Israel kills every man, woman, and child.
I'd say at this point the left's response, if they want to stop the decline of the country, is to abandon the Democratic party and form a new party that actually puts the needs of the 99% above the needs of the 1%.
Communism and Socialism have no chance in the US, but a social democrat is probably pretty close to what the majority of Americans want.
Of course, I'm not talking about a group that only surfaces once every four years. The presidency shouldn't even be a thought. Instead, we need a progressive party, dedicated to people, and working at the local and state level to fix what we can there.
Ah.
If it's the night before collection, no one would notice or care. People who do that are not the people anyone complains about.
What happens is people dump their plastic bag of dog poop in the empty can. So it stays there.
Next pickup the resident's trash bags go on top of it. The trash men never manage to get the poop bag out. After a couple weeks of hoping it will disappear next time, the person whose can it is has to dump it out and put it in a bag with their trash.
People who dump their dog's poop bag in other people's cans should be force fed the bag.
It worked in the middle east because the government had to avoid offending the sensibilities of the American people. Imagine how it would go if the American people had been indoctrinated completely into a fascist hate frenzy.
That would never happen in America, of course ( /s ). However, imagine what war with America would be like with a fascist government firmly in control.
Imagine what would happen to the minority of civilians who would engage in revolt?
The fact is the U.S. is still a democracy. If there were enough people to win in a fight against the government, they could just vote in who they want. As much as it makes me sick to say it, that's what they just did.
Don't forget all the American lives yet to be sacrificed!
I have no idea what a kangaroo has to do with my employer, but they brought in a baby kangaroo for an event, so I waited in line to hold it.
We got Rose's test results back on Friday, and she's all better, so Rose and Daisy can be together again!
Edit: this is what things were like every day while they were separated:
https://youtube.com/shorts/SkCAVoe-cbM
We had to take Rose to the vet on Friday because she stopped eating hay and started having diarrhea.
Diagnosis: intestinal parasite and gas in her stomach.
She's on antiparasitic meds, antibiotics to prevent secondary infection, and a nutritional supplement to replace the hay she isn't eating.
She takes the tiny doses of the meds ok, but she's not a fan of the supplement.
We had a lot of trouble until we figured out how to get her burrito towel wrapped correctly.
She's starting to do better. More normal poops, started nibbling hay, and she stopped fighting the supplement.
Daisy and Rose are inconsolable because we had to separate them until Rose is all better.
The gateway between the pens is closed now and they keep pulling on it like they're trying to pull it open.
This is probably a stupid question, but if I want to add a line to a PDF telling people to direct any comments to my Lemmy account, how would I specify that?
Obviously teenager is 13-19.
"Young adult" would start at 20, but where's the cutoff at the upper end? Similarly, what's the range for "adult", "old", "elderly", " ancient"?
If someone asks for responses from "old men", how do I know if it applies to me?
It seemed like every time we visited WDW, there was some event or show taking place in front of Cinderella's Castle, and the interior was closed.
When I visited as a kid, you'd walk through the castle and ooh and aah at the mosaic.
I've wanted to see the mosaic again for years, and it was always closed. I finally got the chance again last time, and I took some pictures.
Theme parks like Disney World have been popular for decades, but are the high ticket prices, long lines, and stress associated with the modern-day experience worth the hassle anymore?
Where has this guy been?
When my wife and I went to Disney World in 1996, we planned nothing in advance. We found ourselves waiting in massive lines for rides and spending hours waiting for tables in restaurants. We realized we screwed up and we had to do better.
That was 27 years ago. Since then, we had kids and raised them to adulthood.
Every trip after that we scheduled reservations in advance. Every morning we wake up, we know what park we are going to. We spend about 20 minutes every day we are there planning that day's activities, and we roll with whatever changes we encounter.
I don't understand how having a plan in place in advance of your vacation somehow makes it more stressful. I've always thought it was easier to not have to wonder what we'll be doing and where we'll be going during our Disney trips.
Are there really people who insist on just showing up with no plan and then blame Disney when they are stressed?
Also, it seems like most of the Disney criticism I see is coming from Fox news in some form or another. Is that just my news feed, or is it an extension of the culture war that the right is trying to foment?
Title is my question. It seems like refusing to recognize other state's driver licenses would be blatantly unconstitutional. Is there something I'm missing?

I tend to at least look at every work email I receive. Likewise for Teams messages. If I see a notification of a new communication, I tend to check it and see if I need to respond. I don't always respond, but I always look at the message.
In various virtual meetings, I've seen other people's notifications when they share their desktop, and it seems like some people just don't bother even looking at them.
Am I the weird one? Does everyone just ignore messages they receive at work?

What's your favorite Disney World Restaurant, and what is it about that restaurant that makes it your favorite?
Without any deep thought, the first one that popped into my mind was Narcoossee's. The food is amazing, and there's a great view of fireworks if you're there in the evening.
When my wife and I went to WDW after she graduated from school (1996, I think?), we stayed on property at the Grand Floridian. It was my first time staying in a Disney resort. We arrived too early to check in, so we went to Narcoossee's for lunch.
The last time we went to WDW (2021), we took our adult children with us, and had a wonderful dinner with everyone together at Narcoossee's.
A Delaware judge ruled that the Walt Disney Co board did not act negligently, dismissing a case brought by shareholder Kenneth Simeone.
I told Daisy that it's rude to breathe in people's faces while you're eating your own poop. She says she's never heard of such a rule.
Thoughts?
They call it the happiest place on Earth for a reason!

When my wife gets her out, Rose always puts her head down and takes a nap.
When she wakes up, she has to go right back to pee.
Edit: I mean Rose has to pee right away. My wife isn't as consistent.
