Hospital called us outta the blue to try this. We weren't gonna pay some random caller over the phone that much money. Asked the lady if there was a different way to get a hold of her through the hospital system. She gave me her number, refused to give her name. Were like, how are we supposed to confirm you're with the hospital if we just directly call you back, on whatever number you provide us. After another minute of arguing and frustration about this, the lady finally gave in and gave us the name of the hospital department. Tried calling it back through the hospital system, nobody ever answered, so they never got a prepayment. We asked the OB and later hospital staff if this was standard practice, just to make sure it wasn't a scam. We never got a straight answer from either party.

Reminds me of the county in Florida that sends police to your door daily if they dont like you, or your family.

I'm confused, I thought he told his peoples they didn't have to vote.

Ha! Jokes on them. There's a bunch of Democrats that would rather be neutered, considering Republicans abortion laws. They're doing them a favor instead of having to play 20 questions with a doctor.

If you just read Promise #3 in the Forward of the Project 2025 document, I believe that's the point.

Any time globalization is mentioned, it's in a negative way. They call the global US treaties and economic policy a woke, progressive failure. They blame much of America's problems on our current path of global leadership.

They have to pull it all in and weed out what they dont like before they try to expand in a way that fits their image. (Oil and manufacturing) It's how governments like this function.

Well it doesnt help that Microsoft got hacked, in January, by the same group that did the Solarwinds hack. It even affected state government. I wonder if someone doing... anything, could have prevented this.

I know the offical story is a weak password, but even the article questions that.

I was in college before I saw one. I grew up with giant 8" long centipedes, but this guy freaked me out more than I can say. Couldn't even tell it was a centipede. Might as well have been an alien.

Gag.

Freaky motherfookers

This makes sense.

Good to know those workers probably arent being left to completely fend for themselves, theres a protocol, and its being followed.

It was just a weird way to report a situation like this.

Thanks!

After Fukushima there was a pretty widespread movement to get rid of nuclear power.

They probably definitely wanted it closed. To bad they didn't guess the likely alternatives that would take its place, an push for that too...

Good. Nowadays, theres a degree requirement for so many fields that didn't used to require one. The most competent workers I know, don't have degrees. All the new people with degrees have no clue what they're doing, yet they get paid more and are treated better. It's painful to watch the best performers get passed over, while the people with degrees are held on golden pedestals while they actively drive production into the ground. Especially, when their degree isn't even for the field they're presently employeed in.

While certain jobs should require degrees, there's a huge amount of positions where practical and hands on experience would (and should) trump a degree, any day.

It sounds like you caught it pretty early. Earlier than where it would be at for many pet parents.

Just give him love and encouragement, and do what you can to help him out. Try and reassure him the best you can through this uncertainty. Im sure hes just as confused about whats happening to him as you are. Sometimes things just happen. All you can do is to be the best friend to him that you can be and hopefully treatment will help.

You did good and you're giving it all you got. That's what counts.

Also, depending on the diagnosis, treatment needs, where your located, and your amount of resources, there maybe places with state of the art facilities that can help. Here we have Texas A&M. They can handle things like rare disease, chemo, dialysis, and complicated surgeries. If it looks like the appropriate thing to do, it maybe worth asking your vet if there's someplace like that around you.

Good luck and I wish you guys the best.

That toaster cat shitting rainbows!
