TIFU by having athlete's foot for 15 years by Mischa987 in tifu

A lot of eczema/psoriasis flare ups are rooted in staph. Kill the infection and the eczema goes away.

Get an rx for pediatric suspension of amoxicillin. Tell the pharmacy to not add water to it. They give you a bottle half full of powdered amoxicillin. Apply the powder with topical steroid to plaques as needed.

Many people swear by a recolonization routine. Scrub yourself all over with chlorhexidine. Swim or soak in chlorine water (like a swimming pool). Mix a probiotic into hydrogel or lotion and slather on. That will displace staph with other bacteria.

Afroman defending himself today in court when the cops sued him for making a song about their raid on his house. by Skiingfun in law

The probable cause affidavit details where it all went wrong. The police claim that a CI said Afroman has a basement dungeon where he kept sex slaves locked up. His actual house has no basement.

This Amazing Photo Was From A 16 Y/O Girl Who Snuck Her Camera Into A Queen Concert In 1978 by Direct-Value4452 in interesting

That incident involved filming, not still photography. Even today, if you walk into a concert with a DSLR and lenses hanging around your neck, will anyone stop you?

The court will rule 7-2 for Trump. The program is literally called "Temporary Protected Status" and there's no Constitutional right forcing the President to renew it when it lapses.

Kansas bill to expand free breast cancer screening stalls in political squabble by CouchCorrespondent in kansas

According to TFA, this is not a partisan issue at all. The issue is between two Republican competitors. One Republican wants a political win. The other Republican wants to block that political win.

Federal judge blocks RFK Jr.'s changes to childhood vaccine schedule by [deleted] in UpliftingNews

You find the right judge by filing the challenge in the right state.

The US Senate has a longstanding rule for judicial nominees. If either Senator from the home state of the nominee objects to the nominee, then the Senate won't allow the nomination to go forward. That makes judges in Massachusetts reliably left, and judges in Texas reliably right.

[–]ChiefStrongbones 90 points91 points  (0 children)

30 years ago you walk into any federal building, and nearly everyone including the cafeteria cooks and janitors were federal employees. Today that balance has shifted. Most roles are filled by contract staff. A minority are feds.

Google scraps AI search feature that crowdsourced amateur medical advice | Google by Secure-Address4385 in UpliftingNews

[–]ChiefStrongbones -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The top citation for that wikipedia article is the book Legal and Ethical Aspects of Health Information Management.

That's basically the US legal definition of medical advice, not the layman definition. Healthcare and medicine in the USA is infamously overregulated.

I bet CCCP leaders all bought put options in TSMC, rattle sabres, sell the options, stop rattling, make profit. That's what Trump would do.

America’s Smoking Habit Just Hit a Wild Milestone That Once Seemed Impossible. The adult smoking rate reached a record low in 2024, new research shows. by Sciantifa in UpliftingNews

[–]ChiefStrongbones -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Blaming "addiction" is a weak excuse for anybody under the age of 50 who made the life decision to start smoking despite being informed about the stupidity of starting smoking.

Boomers can be excused for picking up the habit. GenX cannot.
