The article doesn’t make this clear but “proficiency testing” is a “testing the testers” activity that ensures that labs’ procedures are working. So milk testing done by labs will still be done but those labs won’t be tested until this is resolved. Yes, the activity being stopped is important but a short stall shouldn’t immediately accept food safety.

IIRC the plan is for the de minimus exemption to end on May 2nd. So we may see similar changes for sub-$800 shipments after that.

Using our tax dollars to house people in a Salvadoran prison. Yikes. What are the chances we can stop payment on that one?

I love the question and hope to see some good responses here.

If someone reading this has Ryan Mcbeth’s ear they might want to point him to this post. He’d likely have good suggestions. Here’s one of his lectures on disinformation: https://www.youtube.com/live/THfi_lxBvW0

Edit: Here’s another much shorter video of his on disinformation: https://youtu.be/DZ6eMYW7Xwc

Congrats, you made me wonder what the specifics were enough to look it up.

This checks out. Thank you for educating me.

For any doubters, here’s a long-form article on the subject: https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxvox/who-gets-tax-benefit-those-checkout-donations-0

They charge to 80% quickly so I think anyone staying longer than about 25 minutes probably found something to do nearby such as eat at a restaurant or do some shopping. I think most people that own EVs do most of their charging at home so the only time they use chargers is on long trips and they plan their charging stop(s) to be when they’d already be needing to pee, stretch their legs, and maybe eat a quick meal.

I recently saw another lemming call LLMs “spicy autocomplete” instead of AI which seemed appropriate given that calling it AI, while technically correct, I think leads some people to think that the LLM is intelligent. I plan to use that terminology.

Do you see the comment from user “Maalus” immediately prior to the comment that you first replied to? That’s where it was said.

If you cannot see that comment it’d be interesting to understand why. Maybe you have blocked that user so can’t see his comment but you are seeing replies to it?

Finally a proper shower thought in this community haha.

I’m sorry that you had to go through that. Hopefully the dentist is alarmed at this failure and reflects on ways to avoid it in future procedures.

She probably saw from your eyes and expression how stressed you were. You might have looked a little “wild-eyed” to her. She barely knows you so she wouldn’t know with confidence that you behave well under pressure.

I suggest that you leave a message informing your dentist of what happened here regarding insufficient pain management. You can include an apology if you want for seeming stressed.

The goal here is to inform her that she can do a more thorough job managing pain. Part of that needs to be telling her patients to speak up as soon as they begin to feel pain. I’ll bet that had you told staff of the pain they’d have found a way to manage it. Probably the Dr would have popped over and dosed you with something.

We’ve seen his lawyer go to prison before and that pattern may repeat here. We’ll just have to see whether he ends up seeing the inside of a cell along with them.
