    Good luck with all that. Do these suits ever result in a satisfying result for the plaintiffs?

    I did my liver-ups in the morning, don’t worry. 3 sets of 25. I knew it was going to be a big day.

    @LuFins-Dad said in Dune Prophecy: @George-K said in Dune Prophecy: @89th also, I've read that this series on HBO explains why there are no real computers in Dune, why fighting is done with swords, and the reason shields are the way they are. Remember, the Harkonnens were the good guys at one time. @89th not only were the Harkonnens good guys once upon a time, but one of Paul’s distant ancestors was one of the worst threats humanity ever faced. Honestly I think I’m just intimidated by the size of the Duneiverse in terms of story.

    I’m telling you, it should be known as Gaetzgate!

    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.

    @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.
