make simple medications

Really interested in this. Care to elaborate or share any sources on the matter?

This is inherently political, but I think the overall intention of the article is to highlight one of the larger media pushes against Trump, and one of Biden’s campaign promises, and the hypocrisy therein of his escalation of this.

I believe it’s a reference to this.

I enjoyed watching that when it was first created! Any word of a 1080p for that one? I’d even take a release of the timestamps so that I could make the edit to my 1080p versions.

Massive non sequitur there. Taliban does not have military bases on US soil to fortify with 100 personnel.

I’m not disagreeing that the US is assisting in genocide. Has been for a while, and the top two projected candidates for US presidency will further perpetuate this.

But this 100 troop movement is insignificant and is being played up for drama and clicks.

First off, as with every time domestic terrorism is discussed, US armed forces cannot carry out hostilities on domestic soil.

Second off, it’s 100 personnel. Barely a blip on the total number of deployable personnel, and it’s an air defense group without offensive capabilities.

Clickbait is clickbait.

The picture says “Ferring Delicatessen”, which does correspond to the area after an Internet search:

Ferring Delicatessen 1181 Grand Ave, Baldwin, Nassau County, New York 11510-1115

you…like…Hitler

So you’re saying that you like Hitler? Holy cow, get a load of this guy!

Everyone, get in here and rally against this person!

Yeah, we tried that one. I didn’t think anyone’s stomach volume is large enough for that amount. None of us could get past the 45 minute mark.

Sounds like a fun game! Depending on tolerance, maybe beer instead of shots…

Reminds me of the game thunderstruck. Get everyone in a circle with a few drinks on hand. Start the song “thunderstruck” by AC/DC. First person starts chugging and on every time they say “thunderstruck”, that person stops chugging and the next in line starts. Very fun but uneven. Once the into starts, one person is chugging for a bit.

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.

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.

Oh I’m quite aware that this is a highly complex issue that has evolved over decades and blaming it single handedly on one thing is disingenuous. Nonetheless, I still blame that article single handedly. (/s because tone doesn’t convey well over text)

This article I single handedly blame for the obesity epidemic.

Published by Harvard (one of the many reasons I discredit them to date, including that their current patient care model is centered around making money not providing high quality care) and paid for by the sugar industry for a paltry $50k.

This spawned the era of “low fat diet” where companies cut the fat content of their products, which made it taste like shit, so dumped heaps of sugar into it.

Yeah, much better at the bottom. I suspect that this allows them to be loaded each time we load comment section (allowing you to be paid for your efforts), regardless of how long the comments section is?

I do. I extend it beyond medicines as well. Corporations have spent lots of money for their brands to be household names. They don’t control my language.

Specifically to medicine, I will note that the generic name actually carries information that the brand name does nothing for. Lisinopril and enalopril are the same medication class, act similar. Amlodipine, nimodipine, nicardipene are all the same class. Those generic names have important meaning.

Oh, you want facial tissues? Why didn’t you ask?

Sure, here’s some acetaminophen and ibuprofen.

Don’t you mean bleach wipes?
