Unless you habitually carry your passport

This would be a good time to remind everyone that you can actually get a passport card that will fit in your wallet:

The U.S. passport card is a wallet-sized, plastic passport that has no visa pages. The card is proof of U.S. citizenship and identity, and has the same length of validity as the passport book.

It used to not be funny. It’s still not, but it used to not, too.

We’re already getting four more years of the real thing.

Was it not gagh blood?

It is not.

I am using a stock Pixel 6a. From the home screen, I can swipe down anywhere to pull down the notification shade.

The one-handed mode gesture (and function) is different though. Settings → System → Gestures → One-handed mode:

Usage:

There is a one-handed mode gesture that you can enable. It allows you to swipe straight down on the gesture bar to pull the entire top of the screen down.

.su is literally the reason that the more stringent rules now exist. They won’t let it happen again.

The first one that comes to mind is zoom.us

Good. The rampant abuse of the ccTLDs is atrocious.

ICU level care

Acute care, understood.

referring to like, fists.

i.e. “I need Olanzapine [broad receptor affinity, highly anti-cholinergic, well-tolerated], but, like, faster.” I’m surprised that particular aspect of the side effect profile comes into play with acute usage.

I’m unsure if you don’t work inpatient psychiatry or you just work somewhere significantly classier than I do.

Ah, yes, this happens a lot. No, I don’t work in the medical field at all. I just know things, for reasons.

I do work in an inner city area that’s flush with people stuck in a cycle of drugs / homelessness

i.e. the psychosis has done so much cumulative damage at this point that you need to fall back to the typicals. That explains why the third-gens are useless.

On a different note, have you heard about Cobenfy yet?

It obviously isn’t suited to the needs of your practice. But I’m really glad we’re making progress on alternative treatment approaches, especially novel ones like anti-muscarinics.

Hopefully the new glutamatergics can reach your setting soon.

In 2024? Why? Risperdal is such a blunt instrument with respect to its broad affinity for receptors.

It’s called dead butt syndrome. The gluteus medius atrophies from the sedentary lifestyle.

Even worse, that was done intentionally. They wanted to prevent retail stores from leaving them plugged in at all times.

de·vice

noun

a thing made or adapted for a particular purpose, especially a piece of mechanical or electronic equipment.

Sounds like the correct word to me. You don’t just walk into the store and buy an IED.

One of the law enforcement officials with knowledge of the markings said that all three devices were sent to the terrorist explosive device analytical center in Huntsville, Ala.

The events of Prodigy largely involved wormholes across spacetime in one universe (and incursions into that universe by bad guys).

The quantum fissures in Lower Decks are connected to other universes. While this season of Lower Decks does canonically occur in the same time period as season 2 of Prodigy, I doubt the two are related.

That said, with the specific call-out, I definitely see them having some significance later in the season.

I was more surprised that the crew of the other Cerritos weren’t responsible for opening the fissure in the first place. The setup felt like it was leading toward a reveal that Captain Becky’s crew had ulterior motives.

It was a bit disappointing that the twist only turned out to be Captain Becky opportunistically trying to swap universes. I was expecting something more like Stargate SG-1 9x13 (Ripple Effect) wherein an alternate-reality SG-1 is after me Lucky Charms a ZPM.

I am from Louisiana, where there is exactly one proper way to make gumbo: the way your mom made it. Everything else is clearly garbage, and everyone else is catastrophically wrong.

That is why some people hate replicated food.
