True but these people all play by a different set of rules then us plebs.

Apparently there are videos

I’m not defending her as I really don’t care for her or her music. However I do think you are expecting far too much from some mediocre pop star.

That’s because we actually don’t give a shit about war crimes but we do give a shit about money and profits for our billionaire club.

I know this is anecdotal but I bought a Samsung washer and dryer in 2013 and the dryer lasted 9yrs and the washer lasted 10. I did have to replace the heating element in the dryer around the 7yr mark but other than that they both were fine.

When my kid was going for her prosthetics the prosthetist said most finger prosthetics are for aesthetic purposes. Depending on your specific needs there might be options for you, and DIYers have made some impressive prototypes, but they all have their pros and cons. I think the Hero Hand is a pretty impressive option, but it is really expensive and some folks might have trouble getting insurance to cover it. Plus for kids the more expensive and complicated prosthetics aren’t great options as they tend to break them and lose parts. I was told that most folks with a partial hand, due to birth defect or amputation, choose to just work around it rather than wear a prosthetic.

He did take a secret meeting with Fox News Executives and Rupert Murdoch at the Murdoch family ranch the other day. Maybe they are planning to try and sawy public opinion on Trump to put JD in the role.

You ain’t kidding. Looking forward to that final break.

Exactly!

The “middle class” was just a scam our ruling class came up with to make us feel like we’re not at the bottom rung of the social economic ladder so we wouldn’t riot over being taken advantage of for decades. In reality there are only two classes the extremely rich and the poor.

Last Podcast on the Left is my go to for true crime and paranormal related topics.

I have the same thing except it’s my dad. I’ve been able to become lucid on occasion when it happens and it’s like I get to hang out with my dad again. I have yet to tell him he is dead in the real world when it does occur. I’m afraid of what will happen if I do.

If this was a Tales from the Crypt episode chances would be 100%!

Well I wish you the best my friend. I’ve certainly been known to do that as well, so at least we’re not drinking alone.

What is the criteria one has to meet for consumption to be considered unhealthy? For me it depends on the day. Sometimes I can get by with a few hits and other days I feel like I can’t function without a constant blaze across my face.

Oh pretty please indulge us with your tall tales of all the violence you’ve seen from the left since Nov of 2023.

Sepsis is no joke!

Story time: Awhile back my youngest daughter (7 at the time) got pneumonia and it landed her in the hospital. Unfortunately the bacteria causing the pneumonia got into her blood, which is what sepsis is, an infection in the blood. Another unfortunate occurrence was that the doctor’s did not know what was happening, so her sepsis went untreated and she went into septic shock.

Septic shock is when your body basically says “we’re really fucking sick so we’re taking all the blood out of our limbs (lowering blood pressure dramatically), to help protect the vital organs, so we have some chance at surviving this”. So it goes without saying that septic shock is not a very good sign, and intense critical care is required to survive it.

Once the doctors figured out what was actually happening they had us flown to the PICU at the children’s hospital in the city.

When we arrived at the new PICU they immediately put her in a medically induced coma, then it was pure madness for the next 48 hours. Literally round the clock care. So many doctors, nurses, specialist coming in and out at all hours of the day and night.

The doctors recommended we sign a DNR because it got that close at times. We signed it because we couldn’t bare the thought of her last moments being horribly painful when she had been through so much already. Plus if she did survive the cardiac arrest it would likely just repeat itself because she still has a ranging infection killing her. Those were some really scary days. I’m not a religious man but I can certainly see how religion would be comforting to folks in those moments.

Two weeks later my daughter was brought out of her medically induced coma. She had survived septic shock, was no longer septic, but she still had pneumonia and was requiring a ventilator to breathe. The entire stay took 4 months between the PICU and the Rehabilitation Hospital.

Unfortunately the tissue damage to her hands and feet, due to her body pulling the blood into her torso, was so significant she ended up having both feet and her right hand amputated. She lost the very tips of her thumb, pointer finger, and middle finger on her left hand, other than missing those fingertips the left hand was fine, thank goodness for that.

So yeah. Sepsis is no joke. See a doctor if you are feeling really sick or if you are sick for more than a few days. Take all of the antibiotics they give you, and monitor your vitals (temps, respiratory rate, heart rate, oxygen saturation, blood pressure) as best you can with what you have available at home. If something isn’t right call your doctor or go to the ER.

Wow I hadn’t heard about that.

This is not true. While a 104 fever likely indicates a severe illness or infection the body can safely have a fever in the 104 to 106 range. It’s around 108 that brain damage becomes a concern and that is usually also due to environmental factors like a kid being left in a hot car.
