Please wait...

Setting aside my extreme distaste for judicial activists such as RBG ... if I live to be 85 (and I hope I don't) I'd like to be able to keep working at that age if I want to. My grandfather retired at 65 and then basically just spent 20 years waiting to die. That's an entire season of life that I don't want to experience.
I may have said this before: I want to die at 52, but I want to have unlimited 5-year extensions.
Checkup this morning... but nowhere near early enough for me.
I want to drink some coffee right now, but I feel I should wait until after the checkup. Similarly, breakfast.
The checkup, however, isn't until 8am.
I woke up at 2am (not unusual for me). I'm already at work, trying to bend my mind to focus on this work, and not really wanting any of it right now.
I had dislocated it badly as a teenager. Time caught up.
The way the doctor described things in there, there was tons of damaged tissue which was removed and they did a repair to small tear. Also shaved two bones that had calcium growths.
I've had shoulder issues since I was 16, so if this repair is as good as they say, I may be pain free for the first time in nearly 35 years.
Glad to hear the repair went well. Soon you'll be able to bench press a jumbo jet again.
And Aahz - feel my pain!
The local hospital switched to a new system.
The data from the old system was never carried over, or added in anyway to the new system. The new system thinks you are a new patient, all my records are gone.
I can't believe they didn't plan for this.
One system I use with three different doctors, I have to have a separate username for each doctor. You log into one portal domain, they don't have separate domains or separate practice ID numbers for each practice.
Every time I use this system I manage to get locked out. You can not simply reset your password, you have to call the office and they will postal mail you an activation code.
The new activation code arrives with instructions as if you are a new user to the portal. If you follow the instructions the system locks you out again because you are trying to register an existing account.
So ... how about that Kung Flu?
Two airlines have already suspended flights between China and USA. This probably should have been mandated for all airlines a week ago.
Fringe reports are coming in that China is going to great lengths to hide the actual death toll, including mass cremation of bodies. Supposedly there are literally bodies lying in the streets at this point (kind of like San Francisco except they don't smell quite as bad).
Hence all those cases of kids that are ran over and nobody helps them, people who falls from stairs and nobody helps them... You'd think having dead people on the streets is not an uncommon envent in such place.
My understanding is that if you run someone over and they need medical help, you're obligated for life, but if you kill them, you're only obligated for the funeral... so if you run them down and they look injured, kill 'em, for your family's financial future... Apparently, it's not really a big thing.. just once in a while.
My parents say it's lovely there, but they won't be traveling there again anytime soon, I guess. (they guide tours and have been to China at least a dozen times, to a bunch of different cities and out in the boonies.)
I've heard everything from "it's not any worse than the common cold" to "it's a secret lab-grown bioweapon that was accidentally released and they're lying about everything"
Usually the truth lies somewhere in the middle. I'm hoping closer to the "It's not any worse than the common cold" side...
Somewhere I heard 2% death rate, which is a lot worse than the common cold, but not quite as bad as Captain Tripps....

I read that when the government executes prisoners the government charges the family for the bullet.

So have I. I have also heard that if they really hate the prisoner, they use a bullet made of a more expensive material (say, silver or gold alloy) so they can charge the family even more.

Fun fact, the epidemic has caused Plague Inc. downloads to peak. Plague Inc. is a videogame in which your objective is to evolve and deploy a biological agent (bio-weapon, virus, bacteria, whatever) able to terminate the whole human population on the planet. Before scientists find a cure for it.
It talks lots about the nature of human being. There is an outbreak, and people starts playing vieogames about causing everybody to die of it.
