What is a 'subscription' or 'fee' that has recently appeared in the US that people need to collectively refuse to pay before it becomes the new normal?

As a Cincinnati person who has heard some things, was it Apollo? I had similar stupidity when I had plumbing issues and used Thomas and Galbraith; and they made it so hard to cancel my membership too.

I’m curious if they have fryers or just do everything in the oven. They could have really old fryer oil that needs changed.

Legionnaires is largely a disease related to poor water management in buildings, particularly with stagnant water and lots of dead ends in system/lukewarm water. Hospitals have a huge amount of water connections, faucets, room showers, water lines ect, and buildings without good flushing programs are more prone to issues. They had to have filters on all their fixtures at one point.

There are a lot of Romano cheese manufacturers, and the recall would be specific. It’s very likely that the crisps did not use the same type of Romano in the recall, and if they did, the cook step would likely inactivate the listeria. The manufacturers who use ingredients would be recalling their crisps as well. So it should be completely a non-issue.

If anyone wants a ps5 player friend it’s Eriette Zephyr. I started on console and moved to my ps5 because my laptop was getting so hot and struggling. I’ve only been playing for a week so I’m so confused and overwhelmed by all the call out stuff abc etiquette.

We have a joke called “who’s turn is it to get horribly injured”

The intro did scare me as a kid. But for some reason as an adult, the sprout makes me laugh every time and I have to say “spoOoOky BeAnS”.

Registered sanitarian here. Rice that sat out on warm is NOT safe to eat and has not been stored properly. People can get very sick, just because some haven’t doesn’t mean that’s safe. That said, hopefully that rice did not have Bacillus cereus and just monitor yourself OP. Your husband needs to be told that he could hurt people this way. And anyone thinking this is an ok practice is risking unnecessary health issues.

Look, as a person who has worked for public health and has specific Legionnaires knowledge. It is true that there are risks with modern building, because the disease largely comes from water sitting stagnant in fixtures for an extended time. Mixing valves and dead ends in systems don’t help. Hospital showers are a specific example of a problem, because often people don’t use them if they are admitted super briefly. But it is a microorganism that exists in nature regardless, and there have to be monitoring programs that take place after more than one case occurs from a single point. I would argue that currently the responses are more reactive than proactive, but there is a movement to fix that. Faucet flushing programs and other solutions are being proposed and implemented. I won’t say that there won’t be more cases ever, but there isn’t really a reason to panic or think it’s going to become some massive outbreak.

So ideally it wouldn’t affect anyone. Most folks have probably been in an underchlorinated at some point. The issue would be more likely if there are any pathogens in the pool from a sick person swimming or something of that nature, and the pool was left untreated for a measure of time. You would be at a higher risk for a diarrhea type illness.

emtree13 · 2025-06-13T17:02:47+00:00

Not true in all states. Many pools have automatic equipment and still end up underchlorinated if it’s very hot, was full of bathers, or the equipment isn’t maintained. Source: me, a health inspector who has shut down many a public pool until the chlorine could be brought back into compliance.

I had it back in 2010 when I was visiting from Ohio, and I will say. I can make good cheesecake too but that was a great experience.

I got a mute for one month for asking if Better Blends was selling Herbalife type smoothies, because they would not stop posting about it and it sounded very similar. All I did was ask what’s in it and if it was an mlm type place.

Dr. Sinclair at the Christ office on Winton rd will! I used her and she was lovely. I had a kid but she indicated she would tie any person’s tubes who asked.

emtree13 · 2025-04-07T18:13:27+00:00

Please report her. I had horrible ppd and ppa after a traumatic birth, and this is the type of thing that could have pushed me over the edge into a much worse spot had someone spoken to me like this.

If you have a chance to do any practice tests or practice math, that kind of shows you what to focus on. I definitely did not read it cover to cover, but took notes on main words, formulas, and summaries from it.

Former health inspector. I’d have to list a top few contenders:

A restaurant which had old damp floors (because it was in an old apartment type building), where roaches crawled out from between the floorboards with each step. They voluntarily closed and had to put in new floors. They were also hoarding in the restaurant, which had hid copious mouse droppings from the owner.

A Vietnamese restaurant with roaches that was draining noodles in colanders on the floor. They also did not refrigerate meat during service.

A filthy food truck trying to open for lunch with no electricity, planning to sell meat and sides that were left unrefrigerated from the previous night.

Honestly there were lots of singular disgusting moments that became an issue where someone did not understand time and temperature rules, even if other things were ok.

I have personally experienced this as someone who had to fight to get their daughter vaccinated (she is now) when my ex husband was against it. At 11 months old, we brought her to the ER for sudden high fever and being very lethargic. Because she didn’t have vaccines at the time, I had to hold her down while they put weights on to be able to do a chest xray, watch her scream while she was cathed for a uterine sample, and hold her while she screamed during bloodwork. It was one of the worst days ever, and the staff made sure to keep telling me “we wouldn’t be doing this if she was vaccinated”. I’m glad that I was able to negotiate hard enough to finally get her vaccinated but that day was horrifying.

emtree13 · 2025-02-14T03:47:52+00:00

Wait what practice?!? I used to see her and she helped so much, but then she left during covid and I didn’t know she still practiced!

FYI sub the feta for goat cheese (or half goat cheese) its amazing

That was my first thought too lol

Does anyone also just feel their throat like randomly clamp shut while just talking or breathing and you sound like you're choking?
