That's badass but I'm not sure how it's relevant to what I said.

I don't really understand this topic tbh. Something can be analyzed while still ongoing. Can we not say the "impact of HIV"?

The first time I realized that ChatGPT and AI might not always be the most reliable source of information was when I asked it if I should drive through the railroad crossing gates if I'm stuck between them and I see a train coming. It assured me that the best course of action was to remain in my car and contact emergency services because driving through the gates would be dangerous and illegal.

I picked a very generic name. Now I always get emails asking if I'm the author of some random paper by someone with that name. Sometimes I say yes because sure why not. I am possibly the only person in the world who is an expert in environmental engineering, computing, Marxism, and youth crime prevention.

Oh yeah ryegrass yields is a passion of mine.

This is obviously a big problem, but in the short term anyways, it could be harmful for Trump's election prospects. Biden isn't winning Ohio regardless, and it would be revealing and troubling to voters who are on the fence in swing states.

Um, the Chinese Civil War is the root cause of the current division, and the war technically never ended due to the lack of a ceasefire or peace treaty. It's like telling people to ignore the events of 1948 when talking about Palestine.

Chinese imperialism is the reason the conflict exists. Taiwan and the Taiwanese have no desire for reunification with China and they pose no threat to mainland China.

FeiHongWong posted...

Who started the Chinese Civil War, lost, and fled to Taiwan with all the gold while preventing mainland China from being recognised at the UN?

Who cares? Taiwan has been a de-facto self-governing nation for 3/4 of a century. It's time to move on.

Even if the CCP did invade, they would never gain access to the chip factories, which all have kill switches in place, and if absolutely necessary, American fighter jets parked in the Philippines ready to blow them up after evacuating the top engineers and bringing them to the United States.

It would be the ultimate pyrrhic victory for China.

Taiwan is a country whether CCP shills like it or not.

Less painful than getting eaten by a shark, but also a lot less cool.

Imagine having almost four million square miles to work with, but remaing fixated over a tiny island for 75 years that you have never even governed.

They're just not that into you and you should work on self-improvement. The infatuation isn't healthy.

A human case of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) (H5 bird flu) virus infection in the United States has been identified in the state of Michigan. This is the second case associated with an ongoing multistate outbreak of A(H5N1) in dairy cows.[i] As with the case in Texas, the individual is a worker on a dairy farm where H5N1 virus has been identified in cows. While a nasal swab from the person tested negative for influenza in Michigan, an eye swab from the patient was shipped to CDC and tested positive for influenza A(H5) virus, indicating an eye infection. Similar to the Texas case, the patient only reported eye symptoms. CDC has been watching influenza surveillance systems closely, particularly in affected states, and there has been no sign of unusual influenza activity in people, including in syndromic surveillance.

Based on the information available, this infection does not change CDCs current H5N1 bird flu human health risk assessment for the U.S. general public, which the agency considers to be low. However, this development underscores the importance of recommended precautions in people with exposure to infected or potentially infected animals. People with close or prolonged, unprotected exposures to infected birds or other animals (including livestock), or to environments contaminated by infected birds or other animals, are at greater risk of infection.

Imagine having Trump for a second pandemic.

What did John Brown do? Is he the abortion doctor from the 1800s?

Edit: read it wrong. Abolitionist, not abortion doc. Stupid dyslexia.

Anyway, my pick is Audie Murphy. Pretty sure Steve Rodgers was based on him.

He's like a real life Quentin Tarantino character.

Frederick Douglass: "[His] zeal in the cause of my race was far greater than mine it was as the burning sun to my taper light mine was bounded by time, his stretched away to the boundless shores of eternity. I could live for the slave, but he could die for him."

NOAA space weather forecasters have observed at least seven coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from the sun, with impacts expected to arrive on Earth as early as midday Friday, May 10, and persist through Sunday, May 12, 2024.

NOAAs Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) has issued a Geomagnetic Storm Warning for Friday, May 10. Additional solar eruptions could cause geomagnetic storm conditions to persist through the weekend.

CMEs are explosions of plasma and magnetic fields from the suns corona. They cause geomagnetic storms when they are directed at Earth. Geomagnetic storms can impact infrastructure in near-Earth orbit and on Earths surface, potentially disrupting communications, the electric power grid, navigation, radio and satellite operations. SWPC has notified the operators of these systems so they can take protective action.

Geomagnetic storms can also trigger spectacular displays of aurora on Earth. A severe geomagnetic storm includes the potential for aurora to be seen as far south as Alabama and Northern California.

"This is an unusual and potentially historic event." - Clinton Wallace, Director, NOAAs Space Weather Prediction Center

Like, "This person hurt/killed a puppy" is the go-to trope we use in stories to show that a character is completely, irredeemably evil. I can't even comprehend how delusional you'd need to be to think that this would reflect positively on you to anyone.

Yup. I'm reminded of The Good Place. Everyone missed it at the time, but it was the one of the first hints that things may not have been how they appeared.

"Endearing" is the wrong word. What that story is trying to convey is, unlike the feckless vegan snowflake liberals who are scared of guns and American values, she's capable of making the tough decisions needed to be seen as a good leader in a conservative hierarchy.

What's the tough decision? If you're unwilling or unable to devote the time necessary to train a puppy, you give it up for adoption/give it to a friend/family member/etc. That is what 99.9% of people would do. You don't shoot it in the face.

I had never seen his dog, so I asked him what kind he has. A pitbull. Suddenly it made sense. Since dog, cat, and small child are not dog food options, exotic animal is the next best choice.

Idk maybe I'm wrong but don't Republicans on the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation have more important things they could be working on? Commerce, science, and transportation seem like three relatively significant subjects. This seems like a better area of focus for the Senate Committee on Wasting Money and Time.

Is this that hornyposting everyone is talking about

Good. How is this website supposed to attract new users if it's going to traffic in smut?

Hospitalized women are less likely to die or be readmitted to the hospital if they are treated by female doctors, a study published Monday in the Annals of Internal Medicine found.

In the study of people ages 65 and older, 8.15% of women treated by female physicians died within 30 days, compared with 8.38% of women treated by male physicians.

Although the difference between the two groups seems small, the researchers say erasing the gap could save 5,000 womens lives each year.

The study included nearly 800,000 male and female patients hospitalized from 2016 through 2019. All patients were covered by Medicare. For male hospitalized patients, the gender of the doctor didnt appear to have an effect on risk of death or hospital readmission.

The data alone doesnt explain why women fare better when treated by other women. But other studies suggest that women are less likely to experience miscommunication, misunderstanding and bias when treated by female doctors, said lead study author Dr. Atsushi Miyawaki, a senior assistant professor of health services research at the University of Tokyo Graduate School of Medicine.

The new research is part of a growing field of study examining why women and minorities tend to receive worse medical care than men and white patients. For example, women and minority patients are up to 30% more likely to be misdiagnosed than white men.

Our pain and our symptoms are often dismissed, said Dr. Megan Ranney, dean of the Yale School of Public Health. It may be that women physicians are more aware of that and are more empathetic.

Research shows that women are less likely than men to receive intensive care but more likely to report having negative experiences with health care, having their concerns dismissed, and having their heart or pain symptoms ignored, the authors wrote in the new study. Male physicians are also more likely than female doctors to underestimate womens risk of stroke.

Part of the problem, Miyawaki said, is that medical students get limited training in womens health issues.

Dr. Ronald Wyatt, who is Black, said his 27-year-old daughter recently had trouble getting an accurate diagnosis for her shortness of breath. An emergency room physician told her the problem was caused by asthma. It took two more trips to the emergency room for his daughter to learn that she actually had a blood clot in her lungs, a potentially life-threatening situation.

There is a tendency for doctors to harbor sexist stereotypes about women, regardless of age, such as the notion that womens symptoms are more emotional or their pain is less severe or more psychological in origin, said Wyatt, former chief science and chief medical officer at the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine, a nonprofit research and advocacy group.

Women seem to experience fewer of these problems when treated by other women.

For example, a study published JAMA Surgery in 2021 found that women patients developed fewer complications if their surgeon was female. Another JAMA Surgery study published in 2023 found all patients had fewer complications and shorter hospital stays if they were operated on by female surgeons, who worked more slowly than their male counterparts.

Women primary care doctors also tend to spend more time with their patients, Ranney said. Although that extra attention is great for patients, it also means that women see fewer patients per day and earn less, on average, than male doctors.

Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, said several studies suggest that female doctors follow medical evidence and guidelines, and that their patients have better outcomes.

Theres lots of variation between women and men physicians, said Jha, who was not involved in the new study. Women tend to be better at communication, listening to patients, speaking openly. Patients report that communication is better. You put these things together, and you can understand why there are small but important differences.

so are we calling this politics? i don't really know the rules anymore.

Texas is forever trending blue.

And it would have to go way further than swing state to ever team up with California.

The director is an enlightened centrist what did you expect

He was like aggressively trying to prevent people from even putting together clues about what had happened. "Let's have Texas and California team up to make clear this wasn't a Democrat/Republican thing!" "Let's have the president's Black female press secretary be shot by another Black female on the other side so no one will think there was a racial component!"

The only reference I can remember in the film to anything overtly political was a statement about the "ANTIFA Massacre"...but then of course he neglected to mention who was massacred and who did the massacring.

It was entertaining for sure, and I don't really mind that it was explicitly non-political...but the way the press behaved was silly. I know they're war correspondents, but they were more reckless than the troops they were following around.

But my bigger issue was how tolerant everyone was of them. "Oh hey random militia folks, I know we just met five minutes ago, but you can trust me, look, I have a press badge! Also, thanks for letting me stick my camera in your face during the middle of this gunfight and please protect me if I'm in danger."

There's also a Magical Negro, which is always unfortunate.
