Bit harder to breed emus than pigs.

Don’t get into stranger’s cars, and don’t give out your real name or number or address on the internet.

Now you do most of these things when you call an uber. 😅

Not just that but I’ve seen posts mocking the captain for being a lesbian, and wokeness for why the boat crashed.

For anyone worried about this, you can ask for a bite block.

Antibiotics and other prescription medications are more often prescribed to older folks, so the increase should be seen in those populations, not primarily more in younger populations. It is unlikely that antibiotics or other similar medical interventions are responsible for the phenomenon seen in the op article.

Also, as a prescriber, I do warn my patients of the dangers of taking antibiotics willy nilly. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Get a proper sleep study, see an ENT and sleep physician, if you are overweight lose some, sleep on your side.

Snoring is produced by soft tissues vibrating when they flop where they shouldn’t (i.e., blocking airway).

It is thus indicative of reduced airflow, which can result in negative health outcomes - including yes, brain damage. The full condition is called obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), but there are other conditions like upper airway resistive syndrome.

From the pictures I see online, it looks like an OTC mandibular advancement splint (MAS). MAS are used for management of OSA, but only per the prescription of a sleep physician, who needs the results from a sleep study as well as an examination of the patient.

Not all OSA sufferers will tolerate let alone benefit from a MAS. There are drawbacks and side effects with a MAS that may not be discussed with all patients, let alone purchasers of an OTC product.

Bicycles stand out too much in Australia. If it’s unique and cool, people will fuck with it. Furthermore, it’s far easier to physically pick up a bike and chuck it in the back of a van than a car, and not very many people are going to interrupt a thief using bolt cutters, particularly if they’re wearing hi-vis.

So you’re left with needing angle grinder resistant locks, with none of the portable ones being long enough to fasten around the body and any fixed stand so you have to get creative about where you park, and even then somebody might just unbolt the fixed point. Creative means it might be away from other bikes and or cameras, reducing security.

Then there’s no clearly visible registration so even if you report a lost bike, nobody will easily be able to tell if the one being ridden by is yours or someone else’s…

Eliminate theft and you’re still left with vandals, and there are a LOT of destructive people with plenty of time on their hands…

Putting aside whether it’s normal for you to be experiencing aging so early*, you should still see another PCP because they didn’t manage your actual concern: “I am experiencing issues functioning day to day life, and would like a plan to manage this”.

It would have been one thing if the doctor had said “yup, just you, so let’s get you into an assisted living arrangement now”, or “I’m fairly certain this is just your shitty genes, but to rule out anything else, let’s send you for X tests and see the Y specialist”.

From your post, it doesn’t sound like that was the case.

*The joke goes that after thirty you don’t get injured, you get permanent disabilities.

And that’s only if your area has actual regulations on what free range even means.

For reference, here in Australia:

Under the law, eggs labelled as ‘free range’ must come from hens that are able to roam and forage outdoors for at least eight hours each day. The maximum outdoor stocking density for free range egg farming is 10,000 hens per hectare of land or one hen per square metre.

That is awful! I buy a brand that has 40 per hectare, they have portable sheds that gets rotated across the property, and the hens get guard dogs to protect them as they roam.

HSV infection of infants leading to death is a real thing: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8284346/

There are many things adults should and should not do in the early years of a child’s life to set them up for success in the future… including not inoculating their mouths with decay causing bacteria (common pathway is testing food temp on a spoon, then using the same spoon in the baby’s mouth).

Not sure how much it will bother you but I’m certain they’ll be found on AliExpress and eBay.

Maybe even a dollar store, it seems the sort of thing they’d carry.

The original link I sent is an automotive store, the kind that sells oil and wipers and towball accessories. Maybe you have something like that near you?

Got a picture?

Oh I’m sure you’ll find similar products elsewhere. It was just the first listing that came up for me for whistle key finder.

Weird I’m in nordvpn in Australia and no issue.

Whistle and it beeps… Apparently.

Sounds like it shouldn’t be considered legal for onroad use there. :/

I’m in healthcare, and often work with children. It doesn’t matter if they do or don’t understand something, they don’t have the emotional regulation to continue with something uncomfortable.

I don’t blame parents wanting to increase the sleepiness of a child prior to something like a long plane trip.

8+ is the age I see the majority of children being able to grin and bear it, and to be reasoned with.

This reminded me that ages before the era of connectivity, there existed these: https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Shop-our-Full-Range-by-Brand-at-Autobarn/Mdi/MDI-Whistle-Key-Finder---FZ-WKF/p/AC40602?srsltid=AfmBOoqqJ-QOeARB80pErKGSuJRtyjsPiMNpZdeKClSKn8s7IIHhfBfr

I never got one, but I wonder how effective they might be. I also can’t whistle for shit, so…

Suspect Sonarr users didn’t have any issues, as it wouldn’t have gone looking for an episode 9.

They would have only seen that combination if they had gone looking for the vagina though…
