Well, of course. Abigail isn’t going to walk around without a little snack in her purse.

Sorry, I don’t understand the connection between Agnes and Texas A & M. I did a quick search, which was less than useful. Can you explain?

The wild thing is that the shock value was toned down from the comics

I’m a fan of Alton Brown and Kenji López-Alt

Agreed on the private equity firms shit, I’ve worked at 2 such hospitals and they’ve been hell. They’re most assuredly not passing those increased prices along to the employees in form of wage increases, I’ll tell you that.

Also, that tooth extraction is a choice to use as a comparison. I’ve never had to be anesthetized for my extractions, but good luck doing that on an awake dog, so of course costs are going to be high. Anesthestizing you for your dentistry would cost way way more than it does now, and certainly more tgan your dog’s.

There’s no way it costs more than your doctor. You are either glossing over what your insurance is paying for you, or your doctor is seeing you in a back alley somewhere.

Also, you’re not paying for the vet’s time spent looking at bloodwork, which I actually do believe is 5 minutes. You’re paying for the 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of medical school, (and if they’re truly a specialist) several years of residency and being boarded, plus many hours of specialized continuing education per year.

Please never fix that typo

What are your thoughts on the word “biennial”?

I believe they’re referring to the metric time comment, not the calendar change idea.

This meme already ignores the fact that it’s only produced a calendar of 364 days.

Most proposed versions I’ve seen of this calendar have New Year’s Day as a standalone holiday, so the leap day presumably tacks on to that every 4 years?

Jesus Christ, my heart started racing just seeing that image. Thanks for reawakening this forgotten terror.

cPTSD or ‘complex PTSD’ is literally the name for it. Here’s more info from people smarter than me: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/24881-cptsd-complex-ptsd

This is illustrated pretty nicely at the end of the article; where they highlight just such a comment, the link it posted, and the suspended account page for the user.

Ah, thank you so much, I missed that. Definitely curious to see how that shakes out.

I saw here that the fines are $4 million for each of the two offspring, and $1 million for Weisselberg:

You make a fair point, but even assuming this level of hurricane was occurring previously, at least we can now monitor their frequency moving forward.

Edit: I just read the article, and it indicates all such recorded hurricanes were within the last decade
