I love genuine questions and people putting in the effort to love and understand each other better. If you come at me just wanting to argue I'm going to troll you back. FAFO.

  • Connections Puzzle #917🟩🟦🟪🟨🟪🟪🟪🟪🟨🟨🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩🟩🟦🟦🟦🟦

    Still not tired of the term "rainbow herring!"

  • I think you need a line break after the second spoiler and I think you are missing a space after the :::

    Wait lemme check:

    Yes

    :::spoiler spoiler no ::: this doesn't load in boost but does load in the web version?

    Yeah it's not just my app the first one renders right. Although weirdly enough now that I open this on web it renders ok but only the first one renders as a proper spoiler in boost. Weird.

  • Apparently a hospital in my network is trialing a tool to generate assessment flowsheets based on an audio recording of a nurse talking aloud while doing a head to toe assessment. So if they say, you've got a little swelling in your legs it'll mark down bilateral edema under the peripheral vascular section. You have to review before submitting but it seems nice.

  • Is it still made by a human if they use the stroke smoothing, clone healing, or edge detection tools in photoshop or gimp? Where's your exact line?

  • Maybe I'm being pessimistic but I'm pretty sure the immigration paperwork is gonna ask "has he been convicted of a crime" and not "has he been convicted of a real crime?"

  • Honestly the research on exactly why this happens is sparse enough as it is. It's basically impossible to do truly conclusive studies with tobacco because of how dangerous it is. We can't even technically conclusively say that tobacco causes cancer because to truly scientifically assert that you'd have to do a randomized controlled trial.

    To have a truly randomized controlled trial you would have to randomly select people from the overall sample and tell them to start smoking for the purposes of the study (otherwise you can't technically rule out there being some third thing that both causes the cancer and causes people to want to smoke). And because we know tobacco is insanely addictive and are all but that one millimeter short of proving that it causes cancer, no medical ethics oversight body would ever allow a study that requires participants to start smoking.

  • Hubs wanted to sell some used household goods but everybody is on Facebook marketplace and using venmo and cashapp and shit these days and I'm just like :| And now his friend says he wants to use zelle for me to go halvsies with him on hubs Christmas present. Fucking marks of the beast!

  • I won't say my grammar is perfect, but I do try not to misspell things and insult other people's intelligence at the same time.

  • They'll happily take my nursing degree but I'm not leaving without hubs and he has an old weed-related charge that would probably impair immigration to another country.

  • could be SSRIs

  • Honestly an AI use I'm kinda OK with is that it's making audio transcription services good enough that nurses can start using them and they auto generate a flowsheet for the qualitative data from spoken word (you'd review before submitting) and tbh if I could get back to providing actual patient care instead of filling in spreadsheets that would be cool.

  • It also paralyzes your cilia so it's not improbable (cilia are the little hairs that line your breathey tubes and rhythmically beat to push gunk up and out). It's actually why the smokers cough usually gets worse a few days after quitting then stays worse until you're finished hacking up all the built up tar. Your cilia wake up to your respiratory tract fucking trashed like WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS.

  • My first thought when I saw this was damn this is freaky and they haven't even brought in the third sister yet...

  • I'm still on the lamictal I figured I should give it a fair shot and like I said I don't feel like it does anything but it's not hurting me and the doctor keeps prescribing it. I also currently take a low dose seroquel as a sleep aid. More importantly the one chemical imbalance I definitely do have is ADHD, for which I take clonidine at bedtime and strattera when I wake up. I also take a variety of supplements, in particular magnesium for mood / sleep and NAC for dermatillomania.

  • Interestingly I've heard Japan called "the land of the rising sun" due to being one of the farthest east on the Mercator projection which despite its few features and many flaws is often considered the standard of map projections.

  • Honestly at 200 I don't notice a difference from when I wasn't on it. I've never even been manic just had borderline for years and figured I'd try it just in case the BPD was a misdiagnosis but it hasn't really made a difference. It has the least incidence of side effects of pretty much any mood stabilizer, including being less sedating. It can cause SJS but that's so rare that I've never personally seen it and if you get it you might make it into a medical journal. Some patients who have experienced mania will say they feel worse on it because it doesn't feel as good as being manic, the same way patients who've been hyperglycemic or hypertensive for an extended period will be hungry or dizzy while their glucose or blood pressure comes back down from orbit. It's also possible that you're a bipolar type 2 which tends to get depression way worse and might benefit from a low dose antidepressant or an adjunct 3rd gen antipsychotic like abilify or latuda. Last time I tried to give proper info on something like this somebody accused me of spam though so enjoy my word vomit.

  • Yeah the classic patient education as to why they can't be given more opiates when their POSS score is too high is that "if you think it hurts bad now, you do NOT wanna know what it's like to get narcanned."

  • Except when you have a personality disorder. People have no problem telling you you're the evil kind of crazy and that's why it's fine for them to treat you like garbage.
