How do I know if a medical issue should be addressed by a Clinic Visit, Urgent Care, or the Emergency Room?
  • Clinics are when you can call ahead to make sure they can handle your issue that can't wait for a GP appointment. Your burning genitals or deep cut will be seen at their earliest convenience. They can be used for GP services if you do not have a regular care provider.

    Hospitals are for when you were referred there, have an on-going issue, or no clinics are open. You are not in urgent need of medical intervention, or are man enough to die in the waiting room with your 104° fever and almond smelling cut you got from a fence two weeks ago that has dark veins radiating from it because "it's nothing, just a cut". You can use them for typical GP services if you don't have a regular care provider and many offer clinic services.

    GPs are for regular checkups or visits for something you are concerned about.

    ER is for when dispatch calls ahead for you, severe pain, severe injury, unconsciousness, or OD. Expect to wait for hours if you are conscious and not leaking, because others are and you aren't the main character today.

  • If Trump loses the election and flees to another country to avoid his sentencing in his (multiple) lawsuits, does the Secret Service have to go with him?
  • The USSS would not have any obligation to a former president that is a fugitive from law.

    As individuals they could abandon their service, which has serious legal remifications, and follow Trump of their own choice. I doubt any would do that because why they became USSS and how badly it would ruin their lives.

  • Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second
  • My pi-hole was getting hammered by an LG smart TV.(Phrasing)

    That TV no longer gets internet privileges and I definitely won't be buying an LG again. I strayed from Sony and regretted it across the board.

  • Glock pistols popular among US criminals because they're easily modified, report says.
  • It is surprisingly difficult to make any handgun fire full auto controllably.

    Not the Glock, the irony is that their safety mechanisms provide a brilliant exploit for full auto conversion. No other striker fired handgun is anywhere near as easy. The 18C was in no way a guide for conversion because the mechanisms of operation are entirely different and far more complex, the conversions are brilliant in their simplicity.

    The second easiest one is the 1911, but you need to modify the frame and slide and make some fairly precise parts that have to be hand fitted to each gun. You can make a 1911 uncontrolled full auto, as some find out by accident when they modify the gun for legal reasons.
