I use Drip for basic cycle tracking. I don't use it for fertile phase tracking so no comment there.

For cycle tracking, it does what it needs to do. It's easy enough to setup and completely forget what tracker/spyware I used to use. Heck, I think it was Flo I used to use.

And f-droid or another alternative app stores not mandatory, Drip is on the Google Play store at least. Not sure about Apple.

Nah, they're called speed laces for a reason. Just takes some practice. https://youtu.be/e1ORA8OtJag

Please don't tell your boss about your mental health problems. Nothing good will come of it.

I'm a boss and try to minimize my shittiness. I want my team members to take PTO for mental issues or whatever else they need but I do not want to know the details. That is for their own protection. If they need medical accomodations they should go through the formal channels, getting it properly documented so they have full legal protections. Anything other than that, sharing their personal medical information with me or anyone else at this Mega Corp^TM^ is a bad idea for them. (US-based, think about your own country's protections before considering this advice).

Your boss sounds like an incompetent asshole. Even with a empathetic human boss though, don't tell them the details of your personal issues.

40% tomato meter, 96% popcorn.

Anyone who uses RT still, is that 96% number real or AI/bots/pay-for-reviews?

If real, the number surprises me. Maybe it's a bit self-filtering, with audiences primarily made up of Michael fans already predisposed to rate it highly so long as it's not too controversial.

My high school uniform was khakis and a navy blue or forest green polo shirt. Half the men I work with wear that every day. Please be more specific.

Yep. I tend to do K-12 STEM outreach stuff. The local schools and scout troops know me and reach out for help occasionally.

I've been thinking about doing some reffing for a high school sports club. It's a less-popular sport, there aren't a ton of adults who've played enough to be decent refs and even fewer women. Just not sure I have the time this season to get match fit and my credentials updated.

They weren't already?

I have a default grey Camry. I lose it in the parking lot all the time and feel kinship whenever I run across someone else also looking for their generic, vanilla car.

Working engineer with a bachelor's and a master's degree 👋. I credit an older sister who got into the world first who gave warning to us younger ones and the good sense to listen to her advice. I can clock a homeschooler a mile out but the well educated, well socialized ones have put in a lot of effort to get there and I won't out them if they don't want to be. The well-adjusted ones don't talk about it much, same as a public school educated person wouldn't bring up their grade school experience frequently.

Did Trump actually post it? Is that supposed to be Epstein? I'm skeptical the president would post that (unless his dementia was affecting his recognition).

Right into lovin' arms.

Except not, because shower sex is horrible. The loving arms can respect my space and wait until after I'm done showering, baby.

I spin right round like a record, baby.

Iron Lung (2026) by Markiplier (filmdb.landmarkcinemas.com)
 

The stars are gone. The planets have disappeared. Only those aboard space stations or starships were left to witness the universe dim, giving the end a name: The Quiet Rapture. Now, humanity decays in the rusting halls of crumbling stations, scavenging barren moons by the ghost light of long-vanished stars. But one moon stands apart. In the darkness of the void, a scanner detects an impossibility: an ocean of blood. In a desperate bid for survival, the last remnants of humanity craft a crude submarine to explore the bleeding depths. They weld one soul inside to pilot it. But as the hatch is sealed, the terrifying reality sets in. Hope in this void is as illusionary as the starlight. This is not an expedition. This is an execution.

Written, produced, acted in by game streamer Markiplier

Indie film inspired by an indie cosmic horror game

<$3 million budget, self-funded release in over 2,000 theaters

 

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.
