Both companies I work for use Okta for 2fa AND also force us to change our passwords every 90 days, resulting in us using weak, easy to remember passwords. It's security theater.

I dunno, cats are so individual. One of mine loves this ball-in-circle toy so much, she'll play with it for hours on and off. My other one wants ME to play, no matter what toy it is.

Here's the ball-in-circle toy:

I think you have to just try different things and see what they like most. Maybe try a catnip stuffed toy?

I also find that they are just like humans and the things they like most are whatever is new. So I buy them like one new toy a couple times a year. It's almost Christmas; I'll get them a new toy as a gift haha

Literal ignorance. There are already studies.

"GnRHa treatment did not seem to have a particularly adverse effect on reproductive function or bone growth."

Puberty blockers only with social transition until age 18 are the standard of care given to the trans girl I grew up with 30 years ago. She didn't start exogenous hormones or surgery until she was a legal adult. None of this is new and the people you're listening to are literally just making things up.

Oh sorry, I thought you were talking about current taxes, not a hypothetical future wealth tax. Of course a wealth tax should exempt one primary owner occupied property until sold.

This is the real blasphemy of these people. What he's doing is what "taking the Lord's name in vain" really means. Claiming to speak for God.

Sorry, I didn't say that clearly. What I mean is you have to remember to use the damn HSA card when you go to buy Tylenol instead of your normal payment method. This is...where I tend to fail lol

Christ how are people this ignorant? The ICIJ has several hundred people working for it.

And it wasn't a foreign government. Caruana Galizia was MALTESE. She was investigating her own government.

Normal red blood cells only live about 120 days, so they replace themselves naturally within a few months.

Nothing at all bad happened to the two German journalists who published the Panama Papers. Bastian Obermayer and Frederik Obermaier are both very much alive and well, and have started a nonprofit organization in honor of their friend and colleague, Daphne Caruana Galizia, who was murdered by an operative of the Maltese government officials who she was investigating for corruption that was revealed in the Panama Papers.

The investigations and revelations produced by The Daphne Project are ongoing. These are journalists who refuse to be silenced by one woman's murder.

But to understand that, you'd have to be interested in not being ignorant for five seconds instead of just parroting things you saw online because you think it makes you sound smart.

I work on a small stepdown critical care unit, and we're struggling to ration our few negative pressure rooms to accommodate the folks needing high flow nasal cannula oxygen or BiPAP from Covid, RSV, flu, and all the god damned holiday COPD/CHF exacerbations.

(Dammit, grandma, take your fucking lasix.)

Yes, it's in the summary above:

"Our finding tells us that maintaining healthy, consistent sleep habits long-term may be important in optimizing brain health as you age."

Implying that poor sleep is directly causative instead of some underlying pathology being causative of both poor sleep and cognitive decline.
