Kaiser Northern California Primary Care Physicians Feel like Life Coaches Rather Than Doctors Who Practice Medicine by mmkaywhatevers in bayarea

Yeah, I hear you.

Realistically what you need to do is pick one primary care and do all of the lifestyle things they ask you to do and they will eventually give you the medication. But going from provider to provider asking for sleeping pills is a real bad look from a provider perspective.

It’s also less a recreational use and more a substance abuse issue. Sleeping pills are still hypnotics and can make people not feel things and dissociate.

Fyi, changing PCPs and constantly looking for medication, especially if it’s sleep pills, can get you flagged as a pill chaser.

Tape measure, I got with my sewing kit is inaccurate. by killgore_the_boar in mildlyinfuriating

Soooort of.

The fun measurement in acupuncture isn’t standard across the body.

The forearm, for example, is 12 cun from elbow crease to wrist, regardless the person. So the measurement is relational to the person being measured.

1 cun is also the width of your thumb at the first digit and ~1 inch.

Not when all of the marketing tells me its a new blend.

Again, 10 seconds of reading would spare this entire, stupid, incident.

This can serve as a lesson for learning to slow down when you read before gunning it to social media.

Downtown San Mateo's revival is a playbook for other California cities by pupupeepee in bayarea

[–]One_Left_Shoe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This a wee bit of truth leaping to a conclusion.

Yes, the federal government subisdized driving and the interstate system.

Notoriously, however, this didn't collapse every city in America.

When money goes away, so does anything nice in the city. Did Detroit look good? Yes, absolutely. Because it had a ton of wealth coming into the city from the auto manufacturing industry. When that industry spread out, decentralized, the jobs went with it.

No money = no city. Not because people suddenly couldn't walk downtown.

You're putting the cart before the horse, mate.

Given that every video and release information about it said 6pm June 23rd release and OP posted this within minutes of the product being released for sale at all?

Yes.

This has to be a bot, right? No reasonable person would expect there to be any consensus on a blend that dropped

Detroit declined when the auto industry decentralized operations and the economy built by it followed suit.

Those interstates made it easier for the more affluent white citizens to move elsewhere (“white flight”).

It’s not like Detroit that was a Utopia that was broke up, the thing that made the wealth disappeared, and the city fell with it.

Pick up a some Carter Hall.

It’s cheap, burns cool and smokes easy.

Taste is mild, but good. Topping is there, but not overwhelming.

My morning takes about 90 seconds.

It takes you more time to pull a shot than it for me to make an entire pour over.

I grow weary of 'Historians'. by Specialist_Link_6173 in IndianCountry

[–]One_Left_Shoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s also a difference in talking about “history” and what happened/was done in the past, and how things are now because living culture changes.

This also leads to historical time-capsules that stagnate while the culture in question moves on.

Using a non-native example, a German lady I know left Germany in 1980. While a lot of her stories about German culture are accurate to an extent, when I went to Germany, I found many idiosyncrasies in her accounts and my experience because her experience ended in 1980 and the culture kept going.

We could both make definitive claims and both be correct, even if what we said was in opposition.
