- Comment on People who work in medical offices, has anyone ever called to verify a doctor note for work or school? 1 day ago:
Some research shows that HIPPA does allows them to confirm the authenticity of the note and the date and time of the appointment but nothing else.

Wouldn’t even just responding to that kind of inquiry be a massive HIPPA violation?

You’re just looking at them wrong.
- Comment on Do people really give a shit on what a US President wear? I just see from time to time that they bring up the Tan Suit Incident with Obama. What is or was the big deal? I slept since then. 1 week ago:
A “vertical” usually refers to control all aspects of a product from manufacturing to end user sales. In this case, Fox News manufactured the tan suit crisis from nothing, build the outrage around it, and sold it to their viewers.
- Comment on Gog Promotional E-Mail Containing Nazi Symbols Goes Out to Subscribers 1 week ago:
A straight line isn’t a Nazi symbol either, but if you put 8 of them together in to a pinwheel shape, well now we have a problem.
Context matters.
- Comment on Guerrilla plantfare 1 week ago:
This is actually more likely to end with you in legal trouble yourself rather than stopping construction. Artificial planting is fairly easy to detect as it doesn’t follow natural population densities, and won’t fall under the protection laws. If they can prove who did it, they can be charged with fraud
- Comment on UK Police arrests criminal trying to escape 3 weeks ago:
Based on the title, I was expecting another cop car to come flying in to the suspect’s car out of nowhere at mach 3.
- Comment on If the next president said screw the norms, and rented or put Camp David up for sale to create a program to increase SNAP benefits could he? 3 weeks ago:
That’s… really specific.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
I bet they’d enjoy surprises they didn’t have to pay for even more.
- Comment on I can only be assertive when I'm on edge, is this normal? 4 weeks ago:
I’m the kind of person that needs permission to be assertive.
- Comment on Literally exactly how it works, too. 5 weeks ago:
Yep! The only way to “see” a photon is to actually absorb it. You can’t just detect it as it goes by, it has to be absorbed and reemitted, and that has an effect on it.
- Comment on New York real estate titan likens the phrase ‘tax the rich’ to racial slurs 5 weeks ago:
He looks like he enjoys a racial slur every now and then.
- Comment on How is Alexander the Great so great he gets that name, but not so great that just “Alexander”doesn’t disambiguate him? 1 month ago:
You didn’t want to get him mixed up with Alexander the Just Kind of OK at Things, do you?
- Comment on What would the next pres of USA have to do to gain back trust for America? Hold a televised event saying the last person was just a fuck up? 1 month ago:
Even if a completely sane, smart, and wonderful president were elected, and every country loved them, why would they trust us? We are always one crazy election away from… well, this.
- Comment on Why the world doesn't have a backup plan for the oil crisis? 2 months ago:
What most people aren’t aware of, is that those reserves are enough to keep the military running for like 3 days.

- Comment on Nutritional Hexes 2 months ago:
You can do whatever you want. All I’m saying is that you will lose weight if your calorie intake from all sources is less than your calorie output from all sources.
- Comment on Nutritional Hexes 2 months ago:
I didn’t say just mad was connected. I said that mass and energy, when taken together, are conserved. Mass is just another form of energy.
- Comment on Nutritional Hexes 2 months ago:
Huh? No I didn’t, it’s all accounted for.
Unused energy is stored, or passed out as waste (literally calories out).
- Comment on Nutritional Hexes 2 months ago:
With every diet, named or not, the weight loss aspect always comes from “calories in vs calories out”.
Some of them, like keto, change the way the body accesses the calories in food, but the math still holds. If your body can’t access the calories in what you eat, they literally become “calories out” when you go to the bathroom later.
Other diets help with mentally being able to track calories better, or to just help you deal with how hard it is to eat fewer calories.
But no matter what, conservation of mass and energy always applies.
- Comment on Nutritional Hexes 2 months ago:
The number of people that don’t believe that taking in fewer calories than you put out will cause you to lose weight still astounds me. Your body isn’t some magic device that doesn’t have to obey the laws of physics.
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 2 months ago:
True, but that was one episode, not every scene of every episode.
- Comment on CW: Picture of a severe vaccine injury, NSFL 2 months ago:
The good news is that once you catch it naturally, you can never catch it again! Can a vaccine do that?
- Comment on It turns out that Juggalo makeup blocks facial recognition technology 2 months ago:
If Juggalo makeup isn’t your thing, Sith would probably work just as well.
- Comment on send thoughts and peer review 2 months ago:
Solving those problems is not part of science’s purview.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
That’s less efficient time-wise though, since it takes significantly longer to walk the same distance riding.

- Comment on How to I prove to someone that the U.S. moon landing wasn't staged? 3 months ago:
Their answer to that is “the mirror was placed by robots. We had the tech to get robots there, but not living people.”
I’ve had to deal with these people before.
- Comment on 3 months ago:
Don’t forget grenades made from bodily fluids. That’s key.
