Oh I see! I have been “whooshed”

In what context is Fir a valid abbreviation for Friday in English? I feel like that’s the issue! Should be Fri.

In theory the Pope has such powers, but technically he is the first among equals. It would only make things worse if he started acting like a dictator purging bishops that don’t agree with him. There is already a strong, “not my Pope” movement in the US, hence this article. He doesn’t want to drive those people further away. His goal is unity not division.

The red shirt thing is from the Original Series. In the Next Generation it’s the random gold shirts who are more doomed.

Love the sense of scale! Makes me think of The Culture.

Sounds like a movie, but I wouldn’t want to be the bounty hunter tasked with going up against the Secret Service! Though this does raise questions about the Secrets Service’s responsibility to protect against legally sanctioned law enforcement (of sorts).

Where my no pillow gang at? You have an arm! Use it

It doesn’t seem entirely clear to me what the relationship will be between this new facility and Dell Seton Medical Center at the University of Texas, which it will be adjacent to, and is pictured in the thumbnail. Will this new hospital be like an extension also ran by Seton (IE Ascension)? Or will it be run completely by the University without Ascension? Or will it be ran by MD Anderson? Seems very close to the existing hospital for them to be completely separate.

Press the up arrow over and over until you find the command. This is they way!

I find it helpful to translate medical abbreviations to English. Our doctors tend to go overboard with abbreviations, there are lots I know but there are always a few that leave me scratching my head. ChatGPT seems really good at guessing what they mean! There are other tools I can use, but ChatGPT is faster and more convenient - I can give it context and that makes it more accurate.

And there are physical therapists who do acupuncture strictly for muscle release without all of the chi stuff.

On Lemmy, I sure use it a ton between different Lemmy instances and KBin! On Mastodon I only use it to communicate across Mastodon instances really, but neither service would be the same without the ability to see posts from other instances.

I don’t get why one would want to live in condos on Barton Springs if everything that makes Barton Springs interesting is replaced by more condos.

I know what you mean. I say she’s like the color brown. Mix enough colors of paint and you get brown. Mix enough dogs and you get this!

Lol I know, weird mix. She was born in a shelter - her mom is a street dog and is so much smaller than her babies! Poor thing. Besides those three she has a decent portion of generic, “other” I had her DNA tested.

I have a mutt - husky, chow chow, chihuahua mix that does this. Most stubborn dog I know. Man does she run fast though.

Maybe at a cushy white collar office job. I work at a hospital. There is no down time when you are on the clock, that’s true for nurses, doctors, housekeeping, pharmacy, lab, food service - I’d imagine the same is also true for all sort of service industry workers, and also factory workers, farmers, construction, and so so many others. Let’s stop pretending that everyone just sits in front of a computer all day.

I am dyslexic. Feel like I’d have an easier time reading a barcode!

Also, every alien culture being uniform! Why does every Klingon have the same customs? Where are the equivalent of Russian Klingons and American Klingons and Chinese Klingons, etc?
