Why not Gee-IMP?

Try describing the pain using the OPQRST pneumonic.

Onset - what where you doing when it started?
Provocation - does anything make it better or worse
Quality - what type of pain is it. Stabbing, burning, etc.
Radiating - is the pain in one spot, or does it radiate out to other spots.
Severity - what’s the 0-10 pain scale.
Time - How long has this been occuring

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPQRST

As you can see, Severity is just one of the parts of the assessment.

The absolute nature of the scale isn’t THAT important, yeah it gives you an idea of how the pain feels, but what’s more important is how the number changes over time.

If a patient keeps saying “IT’S AN 11!!” for an hour and then now it’s a 9? Great, we’re moving in the right direction.

If someone starts out saying it’s an 11 and suddenly it’s a 15? Well, what changed? Did some meds wear off? Did they shift and move something that increased the pain?

Heck, 90% of the time if I get there and it’s an 11, then just 10 minutes later it’s suddenly a 6 cause they’ve calmed down now that help is there.

Cause your food isn’t ready yet and it allows them to serve the next person while you wait for your food.

With mind bullets?

If you buy in the dip, that means you have extra money that’s not invested.

If you have extra money not invested cause you’re waiting for a dip, then you’re not getting investment returns from the very long period of time we’re not in a dip.

Even if you could predict the future, and determine when the bottom of a dip is so you could put all your money in, you’re still going to come out worse than if you just invested in the first place.

Most likely blue are the input nodes and green are the output nodes.

Mozilla VPN, which uses Mullvad on the backend, is cheaper if you do the annual plan.

So because we have a poorly run prison system, we should just murder people instead since we’re too lazy to fix it?

C) Cutting the cost of putting someone to death just increases the chances that you’re putting the wrong person to death. It’s expensive cause that’s the best way to ensure that it’s being done right. Cutting costs just means you’re going to make more mistakes.

D) The reason we can’t do it humanely is because anyone with the training to do it right doesn’t want to participate in the process. It’s not that we’re not smart enough. And even if we can do it painlessly, it doesn’t mean that it’s still not a horrible experience.

Why are you putting people do death? What’s the purpose? Cause it makes you feel better that this person isn’t alive anymore? Then that’s a terrible reason.

So they won’t do it again? We already have them locked up, they’re done commiting crimes.

So it stops others from doing it? Well, we already know that doesn’t work.

So what’s the reason?

The death penalty should ALMOST never be used. The only use for the death penalty is for world leaders that direct their subordinates to commit atrocious acts.

Normal civilians, no matter how dangerous, should only ever be treated with dignity. There is no place for state sanctioned murder.

A) It is immoral.

B) The justice system isn’t perfect, and death is final.

C) The actual cost of going through all the trials and effort to put someone to death is typically higher than just keeping them locked up.

D) There is no humane way to put someone to death.

E) It is not effective at preventing crime. It only makes it so people have nothing to lose by being caught.

I kinda wonder if it is slightly more private separating the billing company from the providing company.

Been there, done that.

I’d find it hard to believe anything could happen that would cause the moon to be thrown out of it’s orbit enough to end up on the far side of the sun, but leave earth unaffected.

Laws don’t magically break encryption. I’m not sure what you’re trying to say.

They’re trying to force Signal to weaken the application, Signal says they won’t do it.

They can ban Signal for not complying, but you know how difficult it is to ban a digital application? It might make it more popular since it’ll be one of very few actually secure messaging apps out there.

The universe is flat.

Most galaxies are semi-flat rotating discs of stars.

Only solid-ish objects like planets, stars, moons, and black holes are spheres.

I have a huge collection of DRM free movies, shows, books, music, etc.

It’s physically in my house, but digitally on my hard drives. With quadruple redundancy, including offline backups.

No, the best evidence we have today says the universe is flat.

It’s a complicated topic, but Wikipedia sums it up pretty well.

Can’t stop the signal, Mal.
