  • Other locations may be either too hard to access, too fragile from repeated injections, or too inconvenient for a whiney patient.

    A friend of mine had to eventually have a port put in, because there wasn’t anywhere left she could get an IV she’d had so many.

    Trump could be anywhere on that list really. But if he’s getting one every 6 weeks, they may be running out of suitable locations. They won’t give him a port, that’s just as likely to kill him.





  • A frightening number of sex offenders get work release. About half the work release guys I work with are sex offenders. The other half are drug convictions.

    The drug conviction guys are generally happy to tell you what they got sent to prison for, sometimes with some mild embarrassment or remorse. A worrying number of the sex offenders will tell you inadvertantly when they’re bitching about the people they victimized making obtaining parole difficult. No remorse at all.


  • A class of barbarous thugs with titles were rampaging around Europe, so in an effort to send them somewhere else, the Pope asked for them to band together to recapture the Holy Land. As these thugs were highly religious, the plan worked! The knights mostly left Europe to be slaughtered by middle easterners. It also backfired! A new group of noble thugs emerged, but these ones said they were there to protect pilgrims. This lead to extortion and corruption, and many of these thugs would go on to be slaughtered by middle easterners. And eventually they were all slaughtered by other Europeans when they became too politically powerful.

    The given justification was that the wrong religion has control over a particular piece of rock.


  • A lay off is generally broad in scope. A department might get laid off.

    Firings are usually with cause and individual. You are fired for showing up late every day. You’re laid off when they simply don’t need you anymore.

    This varies from state to state across the US and probably only applies here, but if you’re fired with cause, you generally don’t get unemployment benefits. If you’re laid off you might get a severance on top of unemployment.

    Particularly shitty companies will always fire as many people as they can prior to a lay off. A big part of HR’s job at these organizations is making sure they have a case to fire as many people as possible at any given time. If you’ve ever worked in any call center in the US, you’ve been subjected to this, knowingly or not. They’ll document a handful of even the slightest grievances and make sure they have two in the chamber at any given time for any given employee, so if it looks like they need to get rid of a lot of people in the near future they’ll start digging for a third infraction.

    Actively exercising only burns slightly more calories than just sitting around existing does.

    CICO works to an extent, but human bodies are shockingly efficient machines. What you eat is important, why and how you eat are important. Losing weight and keeping it off can be hard.

    Adding exercise is great for a lot of reasons. If you aren’t getting regular exercise you really should. But one of those reasons is certainly not weight loss. You might even gain weight.
