It’s not that strange an idea given the extent to which the pharmaceutical industry essentially bribes doctors to prescribe their drugs, or the frequency with which health care organizations defraud Medicare and insurance companies, fraud which often takes the form of unnecessary medical procedures. Blindly trusting any professional is the strange idea (I agree that constant distrust is probably unhelpful).

My mother does two things whenever I take her to a doctor’s appointment:
- Complain to everyone if she has to wait even a few minutes for her appointment to start
- Endlessly ask the doctor pointless questions, repeat herself over and over again with the preface “and as I said”, and generally babble so her own appointment goes long past its scheduled length

seeing how delicately the mortuary handled the event
I sure wish I’d had this experience with the funeral home I picked out when my dad died. I called them to arrange to pick up his body, and the answering service was AI and obviously so. I gave them his name and the voice read it back to me to confirm it as “Robert common name R-O-B-E-R-T, Smith common name S-M-I-T-H”. Then the owner ghosted me for more than a week and only delivered the urn with the ashes in the night before the internment at 8:00, left it outside and split before I could talk to him. 8 grand well spent.

I passed by a mechanic’s shop a couple of years ago that had a big lit-up sign out front that said “WE BUY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS”. I hope it was a honeypot but I dunno.

may be completed with Hydrogen for more energy release
Uh, that understates things a little bit. Hydrogen bombs (which utilize fission for triggering the fusion reaction) are generally a few orders of magnitude more powerful than fission bombs. The opposite is more accurate: fusion bombs that use spent Uranium as a tamper roughly double their yield.

I made ham and bean soup a couple of months ago. To thicken it, I threw in a big handful of leftover takeout fries and it worked great.

I worked at a vitamin store chain owned by the parents of a college friend of mine (who is now worth $34 million lol - that chain has turned into a miniature Whole Foods) for a few months. I remember one customer came in because she was going through a divorce, and the cashier said “oh, you need St. John’s Wort for that”. Nobody there thought this was unusual in any way.

I used to live in Daytona and one day a shop opened up that sold nothing but Super-Whippers … $1 plastic whisks. They were never open and they were 200 ft. away from three dollars stores and a Publix, all of which sold plastic whisks. Maybe the whisk demand in coastal Florida is a lot greater than I imagined, but I think it’s more likely that this was a drug money laundry.

Some of the Home Depots in my area (Philly) have places in the parking lot that sell cheesesteaks and sausage sandwiches and they’re really fucking good. I would go there every day and the guy would double-stuff my sausage sandwich and even give me like a 6" link to eat while waiting for it. It was just too much – I was already full after eating the sample.

A Vietnamese takeout place just opened near me and I gave it a shot. Went in to pick up the food and it was all white people and I knew it wasn’t going to work out. I was not disappointed in my negativity. It was like these people had watched a single TikTok video on Vietnamese cuisine and decided to open a restaurant. Probably just a front for laundering drug money.

My favorite thing about phone interviews was when I’d ask a question and the person would pause and I’d hear keyboard noises and whispering in the background. I was like c’mon dude, even if you get a job this way what the fuck are you going to do your first day at work if you don’t know how to do anything yourself?

I just don’t get all this shit. I’m a programmer and for years at my last job I did most of the interviewing for candidates and had the final say-so for whether or not we hired somebody. I could tell in a 15 minute phone call whether somebody knew what they were doing or not and could make a positive contribution to the project.

Hmm, that’s interesting. I’m a big orange soda fiend and I drink Sunkist, Crush and Fanta. it does appear that only Crush has Red 40 in it. Sometimes I feel like I have to fart real bad and sometimes I don’t - maybe that’s the dye. I should really be drinking water but I find it so boring.

Islam probably also has some sort of prohibition against burying your dead wife in an unmarked grave on your golf course, so I think the point is moot.

No, I gave different advice. Contracting your shin muscles doesn’t relieve the calf cramp because it stretches the calf muscle. Contracting your shin muscles sends a signal to your calf muscles to relax. This is how your body prevents opposing muscles groups from contracting at the same time.

Islam limits you to 4 wives, though, which is a problem for Trump because golf courses have 18 holes.

Theyre huge slices
That’s sort of like the old joke: “This food is terrible!” “Yes, and such unfortunately large portions!”
- Comment on My friend Charlie is back.... 1 week ago:
That can trigger the muscle to contract even more, making the cramp worse. The thing to do is to contract the muscle group opposite of the muscle that is contracting, which forces the cramping muscle to relax. So for a calf cramp, try to raise your foot using the muscles on your shin.

I had a Whopper and fries at Booger King last year for the first time in a couple of decades. With a drink it was like $20 which is pretty absurd. It actually tasted pretty good and the fries were fresh out of the fryer (which is basically what makes fries good), but I just felt so physically bad after eating. I don’t know what it was, probably the massive amount of salt in it.

I usually only drive through Pennsylvania, and as a result I always end up at Sbarro, an “Italian” restaurant that can only survive in the cloister of a turnpike travel plaza. Somehow my brain forgets how fucking awful it was last time. Plus I always order something you can’t eat while driving, like pasta, so I have to sit there and finish it. The only good thing is having a bathroom right there.

I’m a school bus driver in a good school district and I drop off one kid who then waits at a bus stop for a city bus heading for the really poor city right next to us. I know exactly what’s up and I would never say shit about it. And I also live in this district and pay the exorbitant school property tax every year, so it’s not like this doesn’t affect me.
