I am now rather curious about the context. I saw his comment about being on his boat, but hadn’t seen him around prior to that. I don’t remember the username though, so I can’t look up the profile.
There have been a few problems recently with pharma factories failing inspections in regards to sterile production environments. The last one I heard about was a while ago, but I think I remember a pharma company deciding to close some factories and stop making those products because coming up to code would be too expensive and the products aren’t that profitable.
MRI sometimes uses a non-radioactive contrast depending on what you’re trying to get images of. MRI is probably the safest imaging modality, but it’s very expensive, kind of difficult sometimes due to how long it takes, and isn’t useful for every kind of imaging that needs to be done.
They require the certificate to be installed to have access to the network.
I use Proton when I’m on my university’s campus because they switched to using EDUroam for the campus wifi. I used to be a Sys Admin at a different university a while back, and from what I know, EDUroam allows the IT department to monitor basically all of the traffic over the network. I don’t know exactly how deep that stuff goes, but if I was doing anything personal or sensitive like banking or whatever, I’d flip on the VPN on my personal computer. I also don’t have any personal accounts logged in on the school issued laptop because they have it loaded with institutional spyware. Once I graduate, I’ll blank the drive and reinstall the OS to have a decent Lenovo laptop on hand as a spare.
Edit to add: I use Proton because it was the least shady service that I could get for a reasonable price as a student. It is also helpful for finding textbooks. :)
That is a deeply unfortunate genetic mutation. As if life weren’t hard enough for them already.
Humans kind of have that with HPV. Get your vaccines!
A lot of “tumors” seen on wild animals are fungal infections from invasive fungal species brought by humans. It really sucks because fungal infections are very hard for mammalian immune systems to fight without help from antifungal medications.
I once got to meet a Tasmanian Devil baby at a zoo. The zookeeper was carrying him around in a little pouch to keep him comfy while his mom was getting a vet checkup. (The picture is one I found on google because the picture I took is buried in some backup folder from about 6 phones ago)
I was about to comment a similar sentiment. I didn’t realize I stopped existing or had my gender identity reassigned because I’m on lemmy instead of other social media.
He was banned from trying to join any branch of the military because he did so poorly on the ASVAB (and probably also failed a psych eval). While many police departments are deeply corrupt, I don’t think any of them want the bad press that would come with hiring him. Maybe he can get hired as a deputy in a sheriff’s department run by someone like Arpaio.
Usually the situation they put themselves in is taking a job as a cop and refusing to deescalate any situation.
Not even a sip for me. I was offered small amounts of champagne or wine at special occasions, but I never drank any because I could smell the alcohol on it and didn’t want to.
I’ve just always been some variant of the “mom friend” and after I turned 21, I was still the DD most of the time.
Nope. The first time I drank any alcohol ever was on my 21st birthday. My Dad made me a gin and tonic with Bombay Sapphire, and that set the standard for the kind of alcohol I will drink. It’s a good thing I’m a lightweight because I only drink the expensive stuff. (The cheap crap burns too much.)
I’ve tried to drink coffee a couple times. I never was successful at it. My body just hates something in coffee and it just comes right back up before even hitting my stomach. So, I guess it’s gone down my esophagus, but never further than that.
I end up going to the ER way more than I want to. It’s really annoying; if you walk into an urgent care or a regular doctor’s office (besides my regular care providers, they’re used to me now) and say you think you have a kidney infection or other kidney problems and you just need antibiotics, they just go “NOPE” and yeet you out the door to go to the ER. So far, I have been successful in preventing them from calling an ambulance for me.
Never have I ever drank alcohol illegally or underage.
One of the problems these monsters have been having with carrying out executions is that they can’t get pharma companies to sell them the drugs they use and they can’t find actual healthcare professionals to perform the act. That’s why there’s been a few cases recently of having to cancel or postpone an execution because they couldn’t get the damn IV line in.
