There weren’t any vultures at the Subaru dealer!

CRV was okay. At Subaru now and I like the Forester Hybrid the most of all 3. Just finished the test drive and now I’m being held hostage to discuss pricing. I gave him a 15 minute limit to be polite. Already told him I will not be buying TODAY (which is of so very important to them). Whomp whomp.

At Honda now to drive the CRV Hybrid. The vultures are circling here too. If you own a car dealership just know this practice is very off putting and makes me not want to buy a car from you.

I can’t wait until car dealerships don’t exist anymore.

Nice enough car. Now to leave and let him know I will be negotiating over text, not in person.

Salesperson is evidently more interested in his phone than selling me a car. Also can’t answer any more than surface level questions about it or the financing. Why is buying a car such a G-d awful experience?

I called in advance and set up an appointment. They still hadn’t assigned a salesperson to me. When they did he’s dressed like a douchebag and has stupid facial hair. I hate car salespeople so much.

I’m at a car dealership about to test drive a Mazda CX-50 hybrid. It’s such an awful experience. The vultures were already circling when I pulled up.

The hemp loophole in the farm bill which allows hemp derived THC products to be sold is due to close in a couple of months. This is why you are seeing so many posts about cannabis hyperemesis syndrome and not drunk driving or alcohol related liver failure, both of which ruin far more lives than THC.

Retired EDMD @scholerined.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Alcohol related ER visits far exceed THC related visits and are for much worse reasons than vomiting. If you want THC banned but are fine with alcohol, you are a hypocrite, and probably a Republican politician taking money from the alcohol industry like NC Senator Ted Budd 🌱 (ironic last name, huh?)

@olsonplanner.bsky.social It seems like the major factor that dictates whether a Roth conversion is worthwhile is where you get the money to pay the taxes from. If you use pretax funds that you have to pay taxes on to pay the taxes on the conversion it negates any benefit. Is that correct? TIA

If you have been hesitant to vaccinate your kids until now, I urge you to change your mind. You cannot count on herd immunity to protect your child anymore and while measles can be VERY serious, even deadly, it is preventable with vaccination.

Trump has already been adjudicated a rapist. Do you really need the Epstein files to confirm that he’s a child rapist also? Stop voting for ALL Republicans. They are complicit in protecting him as long as it serves their personal agenda. They don’t care about you, never did.

Has anyone ever done a double pour over before? Like, you do a pour over then use that instead of hot water to do another pour over.

I recently realized my @bialettiofficial.bsky.social Moka pot is the 6 cup size. It only holds about 1 cup of water but evidently that’s 6 cups of espresso so I’ve been starting my day with 6 cups of espresso. So there’s that.

In addition to all the disease processes you and Mike Pallaci mention in this episode, I always like to hit male patients with the risk of erectile dysfunction from untreated long term hypertension. I can’t prove it but I hope this makes them take it more seriously. 🍆 👉🏻 🥀

That’s either 7 times better or 7 times worse. I’m not sure. I guess it depends on whose perspective you look at it from, ours or the dog.

Never forget: DOJ failed us. SCOTUS failed us. Mitch McConnell failed us. Senate Republicans failed us. The mainstream media failed us. The Manhattan DA's office failed us. Everyone said Trump was DONE after January 6. But NO ONE did their jobs to make that happen.

Trump is a demented malignant narcissist who knows he is dying soon. He is willing to start WW3 and take the rest of us with him. Nice job everyone who voted for him, really top notch work.

Respirator masks are cheaper than Covid/flu tests, ER visits, Tamiflu and hospital stays.

Also, 2-way masking > 1-way masking > no masking

Experts recommend you get the flu vaccine. And if you don’t think mandatory vaccines are necessary in schools just wait and see what happens with measles in the coming year(s) in places where they removed mandates like Floriduh.

KN95s are not expensive at all. And they work well if actually worn. It’s not rocket science. People are just obstinate and ignorant.

What are the “necessary vaccines for other people” in your expert opinion? And why isn’t influenza vaccination included in that group? Thanks!

That’s ridiculous. Of course wearing a respirator mask protects the user. What are you going to do next, quote the warning on the surgical mask box?

Retired EDMD @scholerined.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

💯 and still don’t wear a mask the next time.

I don’t expect everyone else to “play along”. It became painfully obvious at the beginning of the pandemic that most people are way too susceptible to misinformation and think they know better than actual qualified professionals. Enjoy being a proud member of the ignorant majority.
