That says more about you

It says I was in diapers when the conviction happened. News to me.

And his real name was Samuel Clemens!

Needs more stop signs and crosswalks

Gig work is tipped work. If they don’t tip, the driver worked for free.

The gig company “pays” the drivers a pittance, but it largely just covers a portion of the owner-operator’s expenses. 100% of the net profit comes from tips.

There are a handful of municipalities with unique laws which do not fit this model; but outside of those areas, that is straight up how it works.

Now, should the driver be reckless? No, that should be reported. But stiffing them won’t change anything.

Worse, to me, is that there is a perfectly grammatically correct way to be just as brief.

Wrong:

The bed sheets need washed.

Right:

The bed sheets need washing.

the car needs washed

Is there a name/term for this abomination? I’ve only ever heard one person speak in that form (omitting “to be”), and it has haunted me ever since.

Unless you habitually carry your passport

This would be a good time to remind everyone that you can actually get a passport card that will fit in your wallet:

The U.S. passport card is a wallet-sized, plastic passport that has no visa pages. The card is proof of U.S. citizenship and identity, and has the same length of validity as the passport book.

It used to not be funny. It’s still not, but it used to not, too.

We’re already getting four more years of the real thing.

Was it not gagh blood?

It is not.

ITT: People on the spectrum

I am using a stock Pixel 6a. From the home screen, I can swipe down anywhere to pull down the notification shade.

The one-handed mode gesture (and function) is different though. Settings → System → Gestures → One-handed mode:

Usage:

There is a one-handed mode gesture that you can enable. It allows you to swipe straight down on the gesture bar to pull the entire top of the screen down.

.su is literally the reason that the more stringent rules now exist. They won’t let it happen again.

The first one that comes to mind is zoom.us

Good. The rampant abuse of the ccTLDs is atrocious.

ICU level care

Acute care, understood.

referring to like, fists.

i.e. “I need Olanzapine [broad receptor affinity, highly anti-cholinergic, well-tolerated], but, like, faster.” I’m surprised that particular aspect of the side effect profile comes into play with acute usage.

I’m unsure if you don’t work inpatient psychiatry or you just work somewhere significantly classier than I do.

Ah, yes, this happens a lot. No, I don’t work in the medical field at all. I just know things, for reasons.

I do work in an inner city area that’s flush with people stuck in a cycle of drugs / homelessness

i.e. the psychosis has done so much cumulative damage at this point that you need to fall back to the typicals. That explains why the third-gens are useless.

It obviously isn’t suited to the needs of your practice. But I’m really glad we’re making progress on alternative treatment approaches, especially novel ones like anti-muscarinics.

Hopefully the new glutamatergics can reach your setting soon.
