    Seriously. You don’t need to keep living in past wrongs that were settled and paid for generations ago.

    @George-K said in Bluesky: [image: 1732142229330-image.jpeg] [image: 1732142234070-image.jpeg] Exactly. The image of Bluesky being a heavily moderated haven where no negativity, insults, or threats are allowed is absolutely bullshit.

    190 Years A Dallas anesthesiologist was sentenced Wednesday to 190 years in prison for injecting a nerve-blocking agent and other drugs into bags of intravenous fluid at a surgical center where he worked, leading to the death of a coworker and causing cardiac emergencies for several patients. The emergencies began 2 days after Raynaldo Rivera Ortiz Jr., MD, was notified of a disciplinary inquiry into an incident during which he allegedly "deviated from the standard of care" during an anesthesia procedureopens in a new tab or window when a patient experienced a medical emergency. Ortiz, who had a history of disciplinary actions against him, complained to other physicians that the center was trying to "crucify" him. Court documents show that Ortiz, who was arrested in September 2022 and convicted in Aprilopens in a new tab or window, waived his appearance at sentencing in federal court.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in Some San Diego scenes: Turns out there are worse discussion topics than politics. A pretty girl laughed. That's good enough for me.

    Therein lies the rub. At any given point, you're three days away from society starting to crumble in any urban area.

    @Klaus said in Why you stay fat: I don't quite understand how this is supposed to work. The body can't make fat out of thin air. Unless you eat more than you burn, you won't get fat. So you'd only get fatter if either that "memory" somehow causes you to eat more, or somehow causes you to burn less. Without reading the study, I'd say that the fat cells are more efficient at converting any extra calories above the ketoric state into fat.

    @LuFins-Dad said in It's been two weeks!: Mr. Stewart seems to be ignoring the fact that it was Schumer’s breaking of norms that has allowed the Republicans to take some of the steps that they have. Which of Alinsky's rules is that, again? I forget.

    @Jolly said in Meanwhile, in Pittsburgh...: I don't think Leno has much of a star complex He's always struck me as being a nice and humble guy. Wealthy AF, but basically a kind person. He's taken over custodial care of Mavis, his wife, who is suffering from dementia.
