    @Horace I agree.

    Totally fake. If it were real, there would have been, you know, fire.

    😊 I don’t mean to be a pedant about it. It’s just that the romanticization of that job has been out of hand forever. These days identitarians are first in line for that choicest of government jobs that 1000s apply for and few get. Then the rejects get really angry at the inequities of life, and become cops.

    You'd play a slightly different tune if you ever had a house fire. Yes, they're more rare now. But you've also never been cut out of a car, I'm guessin', either.

    Fire fighters do important things.

    That's one thing that is frustrating about an online forum

    If someone uses strong language you would like to cut their tongue out or remove some fingers, but you can't get at them

    I think they ended up with at least 16 takeaways from Purdue and got way more free throws. Street ball, kids having fun.

    Thanks for posting all this, George; I enjoyed it.

    I rode for awhile in childhood and teens, before interest faded. Won a cup, even.

    @Mik said in Interesting dinner tonight:

    Well, the salmon was already pretty well salted for smoking, which I did not know, so with me adding sea salt and pepper it was a bit saltier than I would have liked. Other than that, it was tasty, although I'm not sure I would seek it out again. I did not love the smokiness. High quality fresh salmon is better.

    Yes, I always assume smoked=salted. I figure I can add salt at the table. Hubby has to avoid it, so I go light on it.

    It's hard to beat fresh salmon. You're absolutely right.

    It is President Biden's fault that the unemployment is so low.

    Wait, I cant remember if I am supposed to"spin" this to be bad for President Biden or good for him? 555

    @smithburger , assuming you want to play the piano only for yourself, just press the keys in any order you like, using any subset you like.

    That explains a lot......

    It's good and easy. You really can't go wrong with KAF recipes.

    Yes, Wolf Trap is in the high-rent district.

    Maybe Georgetown dorm rooms during the summer. The subway goes near Wolf Trap now.

    George Mason is closer and has dorms, but it's not right on the subway.

    And the Georgetown area would probably be more interesting than WT for a 20-something, an urban college and professional area. WT is suburban bedrooms.

  • Reckless Homicide?

    Guilty

    A jury on Friday convicted a former Nashville nurse of reckless homicide and impaired adult abuse after she was accused of inadvertently injecting a patient with a deadly dose of a paralyzing drug.

    The jury deliberated for approximately four hours in a trial closely watched by nurses and medical professionals from across the country, many worried that the case could set a precedent for medical errors leading to criminal charges.

    RaDonda Vaught, 38, was indicted in 2019 on two charges – reckless homicide and impaired adult abuse – in the death of Charlene Murphey at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

    Murphey, 75, died on Dec. 27, 2017, after being injected with the wrong drug.

    Murphey was supposed to receive a dose of Versed, a sedative, but was instead injected with vecuronium, which left her unable to breathe, prosecutors have said.

    “RaDonda Vaught probably did not intend to kill Ms. Murphey, but she made a knowing choice," Assistant District Attorney Brittani Flatt said Thursday during the state's closing arguments.

    "Made a 'knowing' choice?"

    No, she made a horrible error.

    "This wasn’t an accident or mistake as it’s been claimed. There were multiple chances for RaDonda Vaught to just pay attention," Assistant District Attorney Chad Jackson said in a rebuttal during closing arguments.

    Yes, as I've said: read the f'ing label.
