Just a reminder. Wuthering Heights is not the same kind of romance as Bridgerton. The romanticized merchandizing around the new Wuthering Heights movie is a bit disturbing.
this should scare anyone who works for a hyperscaler, because your data centres, nay, your offices, could be viewed as legitimate targets of war.

That time you have to eat like garbage for a few months in order to raise your A1C to qualify for metformin, so you can use it to treat your idiopathic intracranial hypertension symptoms and lose weight.
This is how us chronic pain peeps hack the Gibson.

I really want to submit for USENIX Security Enigma track, but Iβm concerned that people donβt want to hear about how pain management vs pain avoidance shows up in the work we do.
Are you selling a security product? Can you please do us both a favor and just tell me what it is? Just explain literally what it does and how.
Risky Business was kind enough to start a catalogue with useful descriptions for their advertisers, but can we please normalize this?

Yup! I just found that stuff too. Itβs waaaaaaaay too scented, and it works. I have a mix of 2a - 3a curls so I have to limit how much of that product I put in as well.
I feel like a responsible adult today for getting all my tax information to the tax man.
It's hard being a responsible adult when the world is full of leaders being irresponsible.
Endoscopy today found gastritis (as expected) and removed three 1 cm stomach polyps (unexpected!) and multiple biopsy sites for testing.
The propofol induced nap was nice.

Over here having a very normal one.
(Seriously, fuck these companies though.)
At the podiatrist right now to fix my jacked up big toe, she mixed in marcaine with the lidocaine and it took two rounds of numbing and an hour to get the toe numb. Thankfully, she listened to me about my body.
Payment sent! Time to start wearing purple!

NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.
A graph using reports from people over papers showing Numbers of reported kidnappings and activity from Minnesota, California, Florida, Texas, and then a combination of all other states. The highest Spike is in mid-January showing that Minnesota was reporting 500 incidents a day while California was reporting right around 100. Along this whole graph, Minnesota is showing at least double reports compared to everyone else with the exception of a time in very early January when California was almost on Pace with what we were seeing here. There is a small heading up top that says: immigration enforcement in Minnesota dwarfed the rest of the nation.
Seeing this visualization has been really impactful for me. There were times when people tried to come at us sideways for claiming this is *different* and massive in a way that we hadn't seen other places. But it really really has been.
Yeah, I had a hell of a time with an epidural during labor with my son, I'm not sure how it happened but all the labor pain referred or I guess rerouted to the urethra. (Yes, I had a foley at the time, but it wasn't that.)
So I knew about the redhead gene. There are no redheads in my family. But the tissue perfusion fuckery is new to me. Doctors didn't take me seriously about the lidocaine nonsense, so I started saying I had MC1R gene mutation / redheads (even though I have nothing to prove it).
I often tell dentists and anyone else administering lidocaine to use twice as much and come back in 15 - 20 minutes.
The lidocaine did fuck all for the insertion of the femoral vein catheter for my cerebral venogram.
Yeah, the LP w/ lidocaine sucks too. I asked for mild sedation for my last one.

is life just a series of days where you're tired in the afternoon and wide awake at night, running behind on weekly deadlines, and seeing pants get slim and big and then slim again over the years until you die?
Whatβs your problem with lidocaine? Itβs been quite an experience to read some of your symptoms matching mine but I donβt have the traditional symptoms of EDS. (Although, I have been wondering about MCAS more and more.)

I'm watching the Closing Ceremonies (I think) of the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, and I think a woman is singing "Il Mondo"!
