I try to get ticketed for window seats. And so I want to get on before the middle and aisle people sit down to avoid them having to get right back up to let me in.

Not medical advice unless it's to answer with solid sources.

Forums like this are better for opinion-based questions. Like, "do you have advice on how to talk to a 10-year old about our family history of alcoholism?" To which my answer would include getting their facts straight so as not to confuse genetic predisposition for alcoholism and genetic alcoholism. The latter is not a thing.

And I answered. Find a real source and not a bunch of pseudonymous internet randos with no medical background. Don't get medical advice from social media, people!

Alcoholism isn't genetic. A predisposition for it is.

This is an easy websearch, keywords "alcohol predisposition genetic". Please inform yourself before you traumatize a ten year old.

My home state had a permit for that too, certain vehicles I could drive on certain roads under restrictive speed limits. So I could, like, drive a tractor or farm truck with the right license plates down county roads to another field.

That was separate from a school permit. The nearest school bus stop to me was miles away and didn't go directly to my school so I would have spent 3+ hours per school day on multiple buses if I hadn't been able to drive myself in. Not to mention sports on weekends and other stuff where the normal school day bus wasn't running. My permit restricted the hours I could drive, it had to be to or from school or jobs, and I couldn't give anyone rides other than siblings. I think I wasn't supposed to drive on the interstate too.

Personally, at 26 I wouldn't tell my parents about reversible drugs I'm trying out under doctor supervision to help with mental issues. But at 26 I also wasn't rushing into chemical therapies against the advice of my psychiatrist. So maybe you need your parents or other trusted person to be a sounding board while you make a decision.

And seems like the same with any large medical decisions, it may be worth getting a second opinion from another doctor.

13, special license in some US states for kids who live out in the middle of nowhere so they can get to school.

Learned from parents, grandparents, siblings, being around trucks and tractors and motorcycles since I was a toddler. I knew how to drive long before I got a license.

I routinely watch scrub movies on 1.5-1.75x speed while bopping around the house, multitasking cleaning and hobbies and pacing. It would be pretty darn tough for me to differentiate between 1.0x and 1.25x for a lot of movies as both are slower than what I frequently watch.

My most frequent rewatch is Ready or Not (2019) and I'm not sure id notice 1.25x speed at all.

(I do still sit down and watch at 1.0x speed new-to-me movies I care about, before anyone gets too twisted about my not appreciating art)

Goddamit. I was hoping that was just a meme people were starting to say about any cast list. But no, that creep is actually in the movie.

I so want to know who's sex tapes he has that gives him this much blackmail leverage.

LLMs and other AI tools are just that, tools. They can be used ethically or unethically. Use the opportunity to learn about them so you can use them judiciously in your career and effectively argue against their use when the situation calls for it.

 

Have you had one? If so, did the medical professional conducting the challenge stay with you the whole time?

I had one years ago. The person administering the challenge put me in a glass chamber, explained the amount of methacholine would increase until it induced an asthma attack and that how much methacholine it took would determine whether I have asthma or not, then left the room for 10-15 minutes. Looking back now, it seems wild that one would leave when trying to give a person an asthma account. What if I had asthma and was stuck without help for 10+ minutes?

Curious what others have experienced, whether they were left to deal with a possible asthma attack alone or if they were monitored?

Watched my coworker move her cursor to the right edge of her right-hand monitor to get it to over to the left side of her left-hand monitor. When I offered to show her how to adjust her display settings, she said she was used to it and didn't want to change it. I don't think I can walk by her desk while she's working ever again.

What have you got?

 

Also New York and Missouri

Anyone with an Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plan will soon have to pay out of pocket for anesthesia if a surgery or procedure goes longer than expected, according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists.

The health insurance provider said they will no longer pay for anesthesia care if a surgery or procedure goes beyond a specific time limit. This will apply to patients in Connecticut, New York and Missouri.

The American Society of Anesthesiologists said Anthem can pre-determine the time allowed for anesthesia, and if an anesthesiologist submits a bill where the actual time of care is longer than Anthem's limit, the company will deny paying for it.

Inspired by a post since deleted, I feel bad for probably coming off judgemental about the poster's taste in the movie that drove him to consider sailing.

The earliest desired media I can remember that drove me to figure out sailing was DC Talk, a Christian rock band. Pop music was not allowed in my house, so a Christian group was tantalizing and scandalous to a rebellious, young Vanth. Things escalated from there.
