LOL—They definitely do NOT "just give you a new one" if you break your phone. Or your brand-new, less than a month old MacBook that wasn't actually broken by the customer but was sold with multiple manufacturing defects. (In that case, they will tell you that you have to bring it in, leave it for a week for repair,…

I know this isn't point of ZhiBaChu's comment, but my ROTC detachment did. We practiced on a range with M-16s and one very memorable M-60 and live ammunition regularly. They were stored separately and under solid lock and key by the commander of the ROTC program.

I'm a D-cup, and I find it incredibly weird. Plus icky to pull money out from between your sweaty boobs and hand it to someone.

Here's a single person who can tell you it is not super painful. It was vaguely sore, like poking at a bruise. And it never, ever involved bleeding or scabs. Tracie gets all her clickbait from making parenthood sounds like the hell on fucking earth.

HIPAA only applied to healthcare workers, not to random people. Unless he was her patient, there's no confidentiality involved.

Well, not inbred so much as one guy with thirteen children, plus all their spouses and children.

I normally try really, really hard to ignore trolls, but this was just one step too far. I mean, if we're going to blame the single mom/kindergarten teacher, why not blame the (presumably single) father? Either way, it's shitty.

Exactly. Where are the articles blaming an absent father on his inability to function in society without murdering people? I've seen a few commenters mention his lack of a father, but no news articles with nasty speculation about it.

That is totally insane—and good to know! I just graduated from nursing school in June, but I'm on a step-down unit that primarily does cardiology, so we get a lot of potassium imbalances, but I haven't seen any that crazy yet. I'll have to keep an eye out and see if the ESRDers seem like they can tolerate unusually…

Are you kidding? Can a person actually continue to have a heartbeat with a potassium of 9.1? I thought after about 7.5, cardiac arrest was basically a given. That is astonishing. And I can't believe that woman went a month without dialysis and was still intending to fly on a plane (or do anything other than get…

KILL IT WITH FIRE.

God, I remember when that happened. It was horrific. I remember feeling so sorry both for the family of the victim and for the little boy who had to spend the rest of his life knowing that he killed someone at age 6. I'm so glad that the person who gave him access to the gun was punished for it.

I once applied for a retail job at Staples, and got refused for the same kind of thing. The question was, "Have you ever stolen anything small from work, like a pen or a piece of paper?" I honestly couldn't remember taking anything from my other jobs, but I figured they'd never believe me if I said I had never, ever…

Hi! :waves wildly I'm the atheist, liberal, nerdy wife of a retired military guy in North Carolina! We're way up north right near Virginia, and we do have two kids, but if you're anywhere nearby, we should be friends! :)

Yep. The newest thing it to fill a Mason jar with dry oats, milk, something sweet, like blueberries, and some Chia seeds. Let it sit in your refrigerator overnight. It's supposed to be "chilled, delicious, breakfast oatmeal"! It is actually slimy, milky, lumpy vomit in a hipster-shaped container.

Apparently, Jay Mohr is unaware of the years 1912, 1812, 1712, 1612, etc., etc., all the way back to the year just plain 12, not to mention the even-more awesome 12/12/1212!

She sounds like the same kind of kid who called me a whore when I was 15 for French kissing a guy and tortured me throughout high school. Fuck that slut-shaming bullshit.

"This isn't about her thinking we all show too much skin. (Which is a valid argument.)"

Just because she doesn't know the phrase "slut shaming" doesn't mean she isn't an expert in it.

"Of course, neuroscientists and medical practitioners would never dare to ask a patient the all-important question: 'Do you wish to keep on living?' Bioethics boards would have a conniption over this. And arguably it could be interpreted as a violation of the Hippocratic Oath — though a strong case can be made to the…
