At the hospital ER today some angry dude walked out of the waiting room and up to the nurse at the triage desk:
“I've been here for 25 minutes! How long is this going to take? ____ is not feeling any better!!”.
The nurse, who was very nicely helping us check in, and had helped the dozen or so others there, turned off the smile and just looked at him... dead pan stare… and said.
"Yes?”
Angry-dude said some other stuff, then turned around and went back to the w…

JFC, job references going the way of grad school applications.
Grad schools, employers, HR departments: a form like this is an invitation for me not to think carefully about my answers. Quantity over quality? Fine, ask and ye shall receive.

Scholz: Einnahmen für Waffeneinkäufe nutzen
Erträge aus der Verwahrung eingefrorener russischer Gelder in der EU könnten künftig für Waffenkäufe weltweit zugunsten der Ukraine genutzt werden. Es gebe eine Verständigung, etwa 90 Prozent dieser Mittel für ukrainische Verteidigungszwecke zu nutzen - "und auch dort keine Festlegung auf Beschaffung in Europa", sagte Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz nach einem Treffen mit den Ministerpräs…

Waiting on my grocery order to be brought to the car and everything is FUBAR, severely understaffed and lagging. Everyone is angry.
I’d be mad too, but am instead enjoying the absolutely incandescent stream of profanities coming from the redneck lady next to me. She can’t find the right person to yell at, and keeps sending her hapless husband on sorties to try to get things moving. He wanders around, holds his arms up in despair, and returns unsuccessfully to be scolded for his ineffec…

In Connecticut immunization rates have risen for two straight years,
exceeding pre-pandemic levels.
During the 2022-2023 school year, more than 97 percent of Connecticut kindergartners were vaccinated against measles,
up from 95.7 percent the year before and 95.3 percent the year before that.
Why?
The answer can be found in a 2021 law that ⭐️eliminated the state’s religious exemption to vaccination.⭐️
Immunization rates of 95 percent or higher are requi…
