Avoid making fun of the way other people look. Especially someone's body.

Your TAD dollars at work. “All graft, all the time” would be a good slogan. #GApol

Limited head to head data but I consider them equivalent now. H1N1 component was found to be inferior almost a decade ago and it was reformulated and brought back for 2018-2019. The main issue is contraindications since it’s a live virus.

Super easy, I recommend it. Took just over 3 weeks to deliver though.

Our vaccines were just delivered today! Super easy. My 14yo preferred over the shot. 11yo said he’d rather have a shot because he’s been receiving bribes for his vaccine.

Dad I want you to sound like the voice that raised me, can you monotone a bit more and use the wrong inflection occasionally?

First time he’s ever seen a moped? But also guy on the scooter just thinking the same thing about the truck on his tail for no good reason at all.

Use Google search. Get a potentially correct but potentially very wrong answer from Gemini. Accidentally click on the Gemini answer. Try to search something else but now I’m in full Gemini mode and search is actually just asking Gemini questions. Get out, search again Gemini still at the top.

Did the same in June. Good distance for our EV. Figured out how to use a Tesla super charger outside a food lion in Gatlinburg.

From a clean energy standpoint, this is quite bad. We use a ton (technically, many tons) of the stuff in our EVs, their batteries, & solar panels. Also to build those new manufacturing plants. And it's not clear there are many good policy options on the table (other than, you know, axing tariffs).

I’m confused because I have kids and I listen to Top 40 a few times a week- I have probably heard this song but this is the only context where I am aware that it exists. We should be talking about the frustrated Tame Impala subreddit due to all of the Jennie fans crashing in their space.

We try not to manage anemia with blood transfusions but it does go into our consideration. It would be truly scary and harmful if there was an increase in transfusions. Most of us just provide care we aren’t out there trying to capture the aspects meant for billing.

Jesse Couk @jessecouk.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
They will be using AI to review our notes and determine whether we are billing appropriately. This was already being performed to some extent. We will always be at a disadvantage compared to the insurance company.

Jesse Couk @jessecouk.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
In healthcare we generally under bill to avoid costly audits and the AI is designed to help you bill at the appropriate level since the reimbursement is so low compared to the cost of care delivery. Health insurance organizations started this war. This is actual care being delivered by providers.

Not clear what the point of that passage is other than firmly establishing demigod creds.

I think you can always leave office early but don’t come back into politics especially not for the governor’s seat. Completely uninspiring at a critical moment in Georgia politics.

Waymo doesn’t get angry at me for existing. Just adapts to my presence. I only worry about whether it’s functioning properly. They also drive through my neighborhood constantly when empty. I think they avoid fully stopping.

“1st, rather than cut NIH by nearly 40 percent, as the OMB proposed last year, we should double its $48 billion budget within five years. These are big numbers, but if they yield discoveries that trim the nation’s $5.3 trillion health bill by just 1 percent, they will more than pay for themselves.”

Nuvaxovid had the least amount of side effects but the most momentary pain with injection. Mnexspike had very little side effects - mild headache. Nice to personally have two good options now.

Cybertruck owner honked at me for running on the road when there were hazards on both sides including the sidewalk. Using a horn at a pedestrian for any reason other than safety always angers me. The fact that the default horn mimics a police car makes it even worse.

Aaron Rodgers is the son of a evangelical chiropractor. Things have obviously gone sideways in his head but he has likely been raised on nonsense his whole life.

In both Taiwan and California the bags cost money and are nice enough to reuse. So whenever we visit family we end up with plenty of reusable bags.

I guess it’s important to communicate that MAHA is fundamentally an movement by individuals to capture health care dollars by lying to people about having products and services that work
