I think that was the crux of the ethics complaint; that she was basically “convincing them pay for their necessary medical treatment through her own fame/enrichment”....

Sorry that was in response to:

That’s exactly what it is.  With some technical smoke-and-mirrors (a bluetooth connected thermometer) thrown in to make it SCIENCE!

You’re not wrong...per the CDC:

Some of the first sexual/pregnancy advice I got from my (very catholic) parents:
“Do you know what they call people who use the ‘rhythm method’ for birth-control?”  ....  “Parents...use goddamned condoms.”

I read something, somewhere, about the AMA’s ethics people being unhappy with her because she coerces people into waiving their medical privacy for free/discounted treatment; and that she’s been doing it for years before she had a TV deal...

Me as a kid: Eats a cookie.
Mom asks: Did you have permission to eat that cookie?
Me: Yes
Also Me: Goes to dad and says “can I have a cookie”
Dad: Yes
Me: See, I had permission so it’s okay.
Mom: (to me) You’re grounded.
Also Mom: (to dad) You’re grounded.

I’ll scream Yokohama IceGuard all winter long for your Winter Tires.

Have them on my daily, that’s also my summer track car, and I have a harder time doing doughnuts in snowy parkinglots than I do with my Nittos’ on in the summer.

:)

Hell...I’m *STILL* trying to figure out what I’m putting on my car next summer. I’ll end-of-life my current daily-driver / track tires (I use the same set for daily / track all summer; and then go Iceguards all winter)...

I’m really torn between Nitto NT05's & Bridgestone RE-71R’s.

hot coffee, tea, or water served on planes because that water comes from the tap, and plane tap water can be quite gross

This is a *textbook* example of what NOT to do when you see a hazard on the road in front of you.

I oscillate between that and Mango Mussolini depending on whether the header-image has him looking more orange or more yellow....

I’m SO happy to see an actual Small Pickup coming back to the US!

Not defending Papaya Pol Pot at all here....he’s a jackass who’s suffering dimensia and has no idea what professionalism actually means...but....

I was talking photochromatic glass like they’ve been putting in glasses for decades; not electrochromatic like they use in the terrible auto-dimming mirrors.

I really had to think about this one because, I know the A/C in my ‘65 Mustang has (is) a dehumidifier...I was wondering if newer A/C’s didn’t have them for some reason....

You’re talking two wholly different technologies...

I did Atkins years ago as well.  I lost more friends than I did pounds.  I was an irritable asshole.

Bill Cosby aside:  All universities should stop this buillshit of giving “honorary degrees”.  Yeah, it’s a money and headline making tactic.  But all it really does is lower the worth of the degrees they award upon students who actually studied, actually leaned, and actually EARNED the degrees....
