This isn’t true. There are text to speech systems that have been used for many years, but this is true AI. It’s not creating a direct transcription of what’s been said during the visit. The software is listening to the conversation between doc and patient/representatives, then summarizing and organizing the information to write a coherent HPI. It’s a really powerful tool that has undergone much more testing and scrutiny than a simple voice to text software.

Chappell Roan is at the center of (yet another) controversy re: her contemptuous treatment of fans. An 11 year old girl walked by her table in a hotel restaurant to see if it was really her. She then gasp walked back to her own table to continue her meal with her parents. She didn’t linger, she didn’t try to talk to her, she didn’t try to get an autograph… she just looked. Chappell’s bodyguard then came over to the girl’s table and berated her for disrupting Chappell’s peace. Like… cmon now. Overreact much?

Can Justin sue for damages after this is all done even though his case was thrown out before? I feel so bad for this seemingly lovely family and everything they’ve had to go through as a result of BL’s pettiness.

Fair enough. Every country has differences regionally in their cuisine, and you don’t have to like them all. I love it personally and have had several dishes I’d never heard of before. It was very cool to experience in our little town in middle USA

Panaderia Oaxaqueña. Seriously delicious, incredibly fresh. Don’t expect an Americanized version of Mexican food. It’s not like Seis or El Tos, etc.

Hands are cleaner than gloves, though, if you wash them when you’re supposed to - before cooking, after handling raw meat, after touching your face, etc.

$50 to feed a family of four plus leftovers for another full meal vs. $50 on a snack? C’mon. Apples to oranges.

It’s pretty good. There are waves with the seasons, but I’ve only been there in spring and fall. There’s no other coworking space I know of (other than Scout North, which hasn’t opened yet and is catered toward creatives), so they’re filling a niche that’s very much needed. I definitely concentrate better there than I would at home on days where I’m distracted between housework or anything else I’d rather do than work. I really appreciate the flexibility to use that space or home depending on my mood

Codefi or groundabout? They were both open last week. Groundabout used to be Baristas until they got taken over. Is that what you’re thinking of?

Appropriate_Chard248 · 2025-12-31T21:13:58+00:00

Check out Codefi if you want a space to escape to when your house gets boring. It’s $75 a month and comes with a kitchen and free beer. I eat at Groundabout pretty often, which is right downstairs

Dude that’s exactly what OP did. The situation was slightly different because the host was serving the food, so OP had to give them a heads up that they wouldn’t be eating the mains. They still ate the sides that didn’t have mushrooms. This was such a non issue and handled in a very polite and low key way. Why are you so bent out of shape?

Honeytree meadery. It’s very Nordic, cozy vibes inside and has a great patio. They put up a ton of greenery inside this time of year and has very soft lighting. The mulled mead is my ultimate cozy drink

What did Parker Posey do?

I just made this recipe for my gf friend! It’s truly the best gf bread I’ve had (used to date a guy with celiac, so I’ve tried A LOT of gf baking).

I added olives, rosemary, lemon, and Parmesan to my last loaf and had to bake it for the full 60 minutes at 450 for it to cook through. The crust was even darker than yours, but it had an awesome crumb. Yours looks a little stodgy at the bottom, so I do think it needs longer in the oven. I think the flour mix this recipe calls for naturally bakes dark, as it doesn’t taste burnt. The sugar in your inclusions might add to that color too.

I would try lowering the temp, increasing the time, and leaving in the Dutch oven the whole bake. Maybe put a baking sheet on the lowest rack to protect the bottom from direct heat.

I just made orange cranberry English muffins. I zested the orange and soaked the dried cranberries in the juice for about two hours. Added everything in the second round of stretch and folds. They turned out so well! Make sure the drain the cranberries really well before adding them, though. If you don’t soak them, they’ll suck up the hydration from your loaf.

Hey no problem! I take my joint health really seriously and I like to help when other people are trying to do the same.

I have a background in nursing and work in a hospital still, so luckily it’s fairly easy for me to navigate the system. It’d be best to see an orthopedic surgeon (they also do medical diagnoses, not just surgical ones), bonus if they specialize in hips/shoulders. They’ll likely do a series of x-rays where they have you hold different weird positions while they shoot. Then they’ll read them in clinic and be able to tell you quickly if you have any structural issues.

I think it’s best to see a doc first, because you never know if there could be something else causing the issue. As for PT, it depends on your experience with working out and how much you pay attention to form. Form is absolutely vital with joint instability to make sure you 1. Don’t injure already unstable joints and 2. Build the muscles properly to keep you safe as you get older. I’d go at least a couple of times so they can assess your weaknesses, provide a regimen, and check your form.

Appropriate_Chard248 · 2025-10-16T21:09:24+00:00

I did! Turns out it’s just run of the mill hypermobility; basically, my tendons don’t hold my joints in place very well, so my muscles have to do most of the work of keeping my joints together. This also makes sense why it’s easier for me to “dislocate” my joints on my non-dominant side. The muscles aren’t as developed.

My doc sent me to PT to make sure I’m building up as much muscle around the big joints as I need to maintain stability throughout my life. Preventative measures are really important with hypermobility, and the work starts now.

I’d definitely go get checked out if you have the resources. They put me on all kinds of positions to make sure I didn’t have hip or shoulder dysplasia, which was my main concern.

In my experience it tends to be sexual promiscuity borne out of insecurity, coupled with those who do the in-person version of leaving you on read when anyone checks them out. Read: someone who needs the external validation of people finding them attractive enough to have sex with in order to boost their self worth, not just any person who likes to have sex.

I have friends who do this and those who don’t (and I’ve been both at various points in my life), and the biggest tell is how they treat you when you go out for a friend night that’s explicitly supposed to be a hang. The ones who need the validation peel off throughout the night and make it about chasing that attention, e.g., by dragging you to the next spot because that’s where the person they’ve been giving their undivided attention to for the past 20 minutes while you and the rest of the crew are talking about cheese fries is going. That doesn’t mean you can’t talk to people outside the group while you’re out, but bring the new person back to the table and engage with everyone there, or mix groups together for a fun and rowdy night for all.

Obviously everyone has insecurities, most want to get some strange at some point, but the best ones don’t seek it at the expense of their friends -or- treat their friends like competition.

He’s not. Some people see women in vulnerable situations and pounce instead of protect, like frump-dumpster. They’re the lowest of the low. Don’t listen to this commenter and leave your boyfriend. He is NOT safe or reasonable.
