Omg yes! I perform drug testing and I've had instances where nurses called CPS before we could give them a confirmation result causing mayhem for all involved. It makes me want to scream whenever I see screening tests used as evidence against people. Any hospital or government agency making those kinds of decisions based on a screen should be sued to high hell. Also fun fact really high levels of Benadryl will cause you to pop positive for PCP on most drug screens. I've had to talk a handful of pediatricians down about that over the years too.

This is extremely troubling news. It is really important to find out exactly what the compromise was here. Was the legit clinic using an unsecure platform or do they have a bad actor among them. I did find it interesting that the third party software companies weren't commenting on the case. It would be absolute mayhem in the healthcare industry if it turns out that the software was easily compromised by bad actors. I understand that a lot of smaller companies "get what they pay for" however HIPAA isn't something to fuck around with. And I would definitely like to see some criminal charges for the crisis center's theft of data and patients here. Those snake oil salesmen are a plague on real healthcare.
This was mostly my experience too. I don't think the Internet itself was as big of a game changer as the advent of smart phones. My day to day didn't change too much from a pre Internet life to a post Internet life until smart phones came along. Once everyone was able to access the Internet from their pocket is when things really changed.
Not gonna lie I'd love to play the second DM's game as a one shot.
That's pretty cool! I'll have to check this place out.

This is how I feel about ads. Ads are legal psychological warfare with the sole aim of stealing your money.
What a weird point of view in the pic. I can tell this is in the bottom but I can't figure out which roof this was taken from. Maybe a drone shot?
To each their own I suppose. I know ringnecks can be noisy but then again I'm a mad parrot lady so that's right up my alley.
I recently bought the Cat Quest trilogy. I played the first two on my switch but the third one just came out and Steam did the whole bundle at a discount so I snagged it. Been enjoying replaying the first two before I start on the new one.
I am severely allergic to eggs so no annual flu shot for me but I have gotten multiple COVID shots without issue. I am a bit worried about a combo flu-covid shit in the future and will talk with my doctor about my options. I will say that it is possible to work with a physician or allergist and take half-shots of some vaccines. This is where you take half the shot in two spaced out doses to eventually get full coverage. I will admit that it didn't work for me with the flu vaccine but it was definitely worth a try and the reaction I had wasn't as bad as a full dose.
I love all of your photos and I'm still super jealous that you've got wild ringnecks in your back yard. 🥰
I once got a call from friends at ten in the morning asking if I could go to my goddaughter's mother's Day brunch at the daycare so she wouldn't be alone. Apparently mom couldn't get the day off and grandmall was supposed to go but grandmall fell sick that morning. So I was the hail Mary call and I just happened to be on PTO that day. You're damn right I dropped everything to go have juice and cookies and make bracelets with my girl. Point is that everyone who can and gives a shit is already involved in childcare.
