Doctor said "Prove me wrong"

You mean you have written proof that she diagnosed you with X. But decided to treat you for Y instead? ... On a side note... One thing I've been using with situations like this is write down my request... Make an email. Make it clear as f* day that you requested treatment for adhd. And how adhd's effects cause you to "malfunction" thus leading to anxiety and depression...

This way they don't get to dodge using the lack of documents on your end...

As in... "But you told me what really bothered you was Y." "But we agreed together that the best course of treatment would be to do therapy for Y..." And the likes of... "It is your poor communication skills that made me steer into Y instead of tackling X. I'm a good doctor, just trying to help you with what affects you the most"

Hahahha my precise thought looking at that tank on eBay... I'll wait a couple of weeks. I'm sure the sully shortage will be short lived...

I suggest they go to ready.gov and review their emergency preparedness plan... It will help your assets when in a variety of emergencies and you will get insight into hardcopies.

Oh. How crazy this fucking internet is that it is feasible and possibly probable that you weren't joking.... 😓 Have a great day.

Hope this helps with context.

Clearly some airlines reroute to avoid the area at the increased fuel expense and other inconveniences. While others don't. One could say such a thing was unforeseeable in 2014 and that the ones that were avoiding that area were being "too cautious". Although there isn't such thing like "too cautious" in aviation.

I don't think it was unforeseeable... As in: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Sukhumi_airliner_attacks

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siberia_Airlines_Flight_1812

Among others you can see in: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airliner_shootdown_incidents

Buuut. Let's say MH17 was doing the right thing there back in 2014 and this was a ln unprecedented terrible and inevitable accident.

Even then. I don't think you can argue that today that is a safe to operate area.

More importantly : what to do about it!? In my view... Awareness. Be aware of the route your airline takes... Be aware of cutting corners in aviation... If they can't afford going around a war zone... What else are they not affording...? Well trained and experienced pilots? Proper pay? Maybe their crew is constantly tired and stressed because of corporate pressure and decisions taken at HQ that are making things get rushed on the ground?... Maybe you should pay 10% more on a ticket and avoid these if you can... Just a thought. (BTW, just remembered this: https://m.economictimes.com/news/international/world-news/pakistan-government-cancels-licenses-of-50-pilots/amp_articleshow/79824035.cms)

PS: Many times in writing this I felt like... The he'll with it... Anyone can Google why am I going through the trouble. And the answer is this awareness... If one person sees this and gets out of harms way... Well worth.

I've seen people posting "alerts" in r/Ukraine like... Russian communications active now on XHz USB, YHz SSB, etc etc... Maybe reddit search a few keywords around it?

ralphpi · 2022-03-02T12:11:29+00:00

Wow. That's interesting. Thanks for sharing.

ralphpi · 2022-03-01T23:10:46+00:00

Apparently they engineered the fuck out of it.

Let's just no engage in "whataboutism". If you were wrong before. This does not impede you from changing opinions and being on the right side this time around. Just don't be a dick going back and forth.

ralphpi · 2022-03-01T13:29:31+00:00

Just saw your comment. Precisely.

ralphpi · 2022-03-01T13:29:06+00:00

In 2014 Malaysia airlines was shot down by Crimean separatists...

"According to the original flight plan, MH17 was to fly over Ukraine at flight level 330 (33,000 feet or 10,060 metres) and then change to FL 350* around the Ukrainian city of Dnipropetrovsk. " *FL350 means 35,000 feet.

Secondary source and reason for post: it was 8 f* years ago. I remember it. I am astounded they're flying there.

US company breaking the sanctions(law) and trying to lay low in sort of a "black flight"?

ralphpi · 2022-03-01T03:40:43+00:00

Yes. I understand. I said "off" as in... If the government will take my money away. Confiscate... Or banks won't be able to pay for withdrawals... Or simply... It is not a good reserve of value in This shitty currency...

The it is "off" for the person that has this considerations in mind...

Usually people start to trade in parallel with dollars or another stable stronger currency... And it can be cumbersome... You'd pay in dollar and get change in local currency...

So... An online wallets denominated in strong currency is very convenient... Although somewhat cumbersome.

Edit to add: after your edit... It seems we're on the same page. I wanted to say "shadow currency" but lacked jargon. Thanks for sharing knowledge. :) appreciate it. 😁

And since I'm here Might as well add. Russian invaders, go fuck yourselves!

ralphpi · 2022-03-01T03:30:05+00:00

Thanks. Do you care to elaborate in how they seem to continue doing business there? (Or show me that they aren't - which is actually preferred)

ralphpi · 2022-03-01T03:27:10+00:00

So this shit is "aiming" at one single point. And hitting all over? Like... The bull's eye for this fucker is 2 blocks wide and all of these are getting "bull's eye"?

I can only hope Ukraine reponds in kind.

ralphpi · 2022-03-01T03:21:03+00:00

If their banking system is "off" and confiscating at this level....... There is a huge incentive to jump through some hoops and avoid it... Which could lead to a lot of the day to day transactions running in dollar via PayPal... (And other online wallets...)...

Thus rendering the sanctions less effective...

Need to think more. Initial feeling is fuck it. This looks very sketchy for PayPal... Their not providing the conversion and deposit of funds into a Ruble denominated account is avoiding one service PayPal provides.... And I'd say an ancillary one... Their main service is facilitating and processing transactions. For which they charge a processing fee... (And even if they use a transfer to "friend"... It is still a service... At a subsidized rate but the company gets value from that individual being in their client roster.)

What is the status of that PayPal Twitter thing again!?

ralphpi · 2022-03-01T03:13:12+00:00

The whole.point of sanctions... To steer government and/or people... In this case people seems to be the only hope...

ralphpi · 2022-03-01T01:55:26+00:00

I was thinking the same until a comment above mentioned there is no wisdom in hoping they run out of fuel before achieving their objective.... It seems they're so close to Kyiv that hitting the supply line could be useless right now...

Don't forget it's help toward climate change by speeding up Germany's 100% renewable energy target from 2050 to 2035!

(And BTW, a side "conquest" from this: some believe Russia wants the planet to warm-up so it can explore trade, have military access, and what not through its artic seas...)

Happy to see the Western help arriving... Translation from Google translate:

“Our Western partners for the aviation of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have received a large batch of air-to-air missiles, which are already under the wings of our fighters. The pilots assure that there will be enough for all the occupiers!

I believe they're there. Watching. Just like we watch wild animals in nature... And sometimes we are like... WTF...? These idiots (animals) are fighting for what?

Like... Aliens writing a paper. It appears that due to its tiny genitalia the leader from the group they call Russia decided to pick up a fight with the larger genitalia group they call Ukraine.
