Yep, just have to find the right angle, the right plaintiff.
Maybe take the driver's insurance company on a civil complaint, then they'll be motivated to get compensation from Uber.
This could be an interesting turn in all of this.
There are a range of tachycardia/arrythmia that you can have since birth that may not show up until you're older, or get triggered by certain meds or nutrient deficiencies (things like potassium).
I wouldn't ignore this for a minute longer. Maybe just walk into urgent care and ask if they're equipped to check it out (basically EKG). I know my urgent care is.
If they aren't equipped, then go to ER.
But please don't sit on this any longer. Some arrythmias are fairly benign, but if it's happening repeatedly, it will eventually cause tissue damage that you don't really fully recover from. Plus you don't know if yours is benign (and most docs would say arrythmia is never benign, even if it isn't killing you in the moment).
Stitches don't necessarily mean ER.
Guess it really depends on your urgent care.
For the most part, I'll go to my urgent care unless I know damn sure ER is needed (the urgent care is in my network). It's no farther away, (ER is a couple blocks away), and urgent care is less out of pocket. If they determine ER is required, they'll say so (and recommend ambulance if they feel it's necessary).
Basically the triage nurse will assess and make a determination.
I've had family go there for cardiovascular issues (and be treated and sent home). They're fully equipped to stabilize someone if they need to go elsewhere. They have a full complement of equipment, including radiology (everything but CAT).
Not shit post, more like Simple Tools.
I like this so much I'm going to make my own!
Well done!
Keeping in mind the object with the larger mass will (over those millions of years) pull the smaller object closer in all dimensions/planes
It's still hard for me to get my head around, it would be great to see an animation showing this with perhaps 3 or 4 objects. It's especially hard for me to visualize the gas cloud around a star coelescing into a plane, even before the more solid objects form.
Is this because of rotational mechanics around the star?
Is helium used in deodorants these days?
"The account from which the attack is launched must be a member of the local admin group"
Umm, so let me get this straight, so a local admin can fuck up a system?
I'm shocked.
Just another example of why we don't let users be member of the admin group.
It's surprising an experienced deep sea explorer would go along on something like this.
When I first read about it, it took me less than 5 minutes to discover many, many reasons it was a bad idea.
That's why you practice this stuff. It's the only way to make sure you won't slip under pressure.
It's what I had to do - just make it a natural response. "I'm not well, I won't be in". Just keep repeating it, regardless of how many times you're asked why.
Every large company I've worked for (since the mid 90's) never swept this stuff under the rug - quite the opposite, actually. I've seen people with all sorts of issues being accommodated.
Practically every team I've been on had at least one person with some kind of issue. We all knew, and adjusted. Once in a while you get an asshole teammate or manager...those quickly get a reputation and people avoid working with them.
Companies are painfully aware of risk.
Shit, I'd be calling a lawyer just to put a scare into that boss. Fucking douchebag.
"I'm not well today, I can't work, that's all you fucking need to know".
I've never had a boss even ask why. Frankly, he should know better...what he doesn't know he can't be liable for. Dumbass. Plus who has the time to worry about why? Does it change anything? No.
Very interesting, but I don't see how replacing the same volume of air in our lungs with helium doesn't make you lighter. It's the same volume, so the volume displacement zeroes out in any equation - I think that poster may mean as compared to empty lungs. Even then I think they're mistaken - otherwise a blimp/balloon wouldn't work, as it too is displacing air around itself, and increasing in volume.

I just heard Frank McCourt on a podcast plugging his book "Our Biggest Fight".
It was great to hear someone with a voice talking about the problems we see with user data and social media, especially the problem of the Social Graph (the map of all your social connections, which includes weights and values).
Their solution to this problem was to develop a social networking protocol that enables any compliant app to use (think how email works - a standard protocol, SMTP), but encrypted and user data controlled by the user. They call it DSNP - Decentralized Social Networking Protocol.
I see both sides of their approach, I'm kind of ambivalent, lots of concern here long-term.
They've already acquired MeWe and have converted some users to this protocol. He wants to buy the US side of TikTok (if it becomes available) and convert it to DSNP, which would encrypt about 30 million US accounts.
I'm always cynical about stuff that sounds promising, but I don't have the tech background to really dissect what they're doing. Anyone understand this better?
I have no idea where to even start to combat such things. Healthcare professionals must appease the masses of their peers.
I've seen this first hand in the corporate world, where it's called a 360 review. It's a popularity contest.
While there's value in the idea of such reviews, they're ripe for abuse. It codifies an environment of dishonesty - where people who are good at masking (err, sociopaths anyone) excel.
