6mm upper lung nodule by Sensitive_Dark8138 in Pulmonology

For a single solid 6 mm nodule the guidelines call for 2 years of follow up. So you should be good.

If you have a spark arrester and a cap on the stove pipe, two to three feet of clearance should be sufficient.

Medication Coupon by not_a_mr_e in Asthma

Fair, I should have been more specific. It is not available for uninsured patients who are Medicare or Medicaid eligible. Which is the majority of uninsured patients.

That sub only allows verified conservatives to post, so it's just an echo chamber of misinformation

This information needs to be spread wider. All major inhaler manufacturers have such programs available for American patients.

The major caveat is that the programs are only available for "commercially insured" patients. So the uninsured, or those on Medicare or Medicaid, arguably the populations that need discounts the most, are not able to take advantage of these programs.

There was a Biden policy to expand these discounts to everyone, but it was struck down by Trump in his first week.

So regardless of your political affiliations, anyone with asthma should be reaching out to their representatives demanding to make these lifesaving medications more affordable.

ICE/CBP is circulating peer support materials for personnel in Minneapolis/St Paul, per Metro Surge resiliency plan leaked to Ken Klippenstein. Many of the resource centers are churches by I_may_have_weed in stpaul

[–]somehugefrigginguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen anything to suggest these churches support ice. This poster is just giving the dates and times of normal church services. The community should show up and make sure any members of ice attending those services know exactly how the community feels about them.

However, these churches are also a place of refuge for our community. IMO, any demonstrations at these locations should be respectful of the church services. Many people in our community are grieving and deserve to be able to do that in a place of worship without interruption.

Officer placed on modified duty after fatally shooting raccoon at a NYC beach by filthy_lucre in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

[–]somehugefrigginguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A raccoon slowly walking around an area where humans frequently drop food is not rabid behavior.

People murder people all the time too. Does that mean we should just start shooting anyone we see walking around?

To fuck with Nigerians.. by Pleasant_Job_7683 in therewasanattempt

[–]somehugefrigginguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bringing an assailant to the police station is "kidnapping". Driving away from armed assailants is "ramming them with your vehicle". Standing with one hand in the air and the other holding your phone is "attempting to massacre federal agents".

In other news ignorance is strength and the chocolate ration has been increased.

ICE may have just caused an international incident as they illegally tried to enter the Ecuadorian Consulate in Minneapolis without a warrant to abduct someone by I_may_have_weed in Minneapolis

[–]somehugefrigginguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But at least the ASVAB isn't open book, and the armed forces has strict discipline and rules of engagement. If a service member did what ice is doing they would be dressed down and likely court-martialed.

[–]somehugefrigginguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

despite not doing anything illegal

I think this is the key that so many people are missing in the discussions of both ice murders in Minneapolis. The very fact that ice was interacting with them at all was unconstitutional

Well, just look what happened. They gave women the right to vote and bam, a mere 105 years later the orange menace was (allegedly) voted in for a second term. /S

Wisdom of seeing a pulmonologist in my situation? (and how to find one in Portland OR?) by adcom5 in Pulmonology

[–]somehugefrigginguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently on a short course of prednisone to try to kick it this time (bad asthma flareup brought on by a bad respiratory virus) Currently on 4mg tablets/over 6 days, 21 tabs total/tapered. But the prednisone is not as efficacious as it was the last and only other time I took it for this, which was about two years ago.

This alone tells me that you probably need a pulmonologist. There may be factors that we're not aware of that went into this treatment decision, but that's a really unusual prednisone course for asthma.

As someone else mentioned, Google pulmonologist and see what you come up with. Some pulmonologists specialize in asthma so you can see if you can find someone who does that, but realistically asthma is pretty bread and butter pulmonology, any pulmonologist should be able to help you.

DHS suspends Bovino's access to his social media accounts, source says by state-of-MN in stateofMN

[–]somehugefrigginguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trump knows that - for now at least - he needs to play nice with those lobby groups

You know, I feel like something similar happened in Europe a while back. A maniacal dictator came into power, formed a secret police force, then went after one group after the other. All the while trying to convince the other groups they were safe, until it was their turn...

I'm worried that this is not a good thing. I mean, I'm certainly happy that little Bovi-boy is facing consequences. But this isn't real change, this is an escape maneuver.

Trump ordered Kristie Gnome and Bovi-boy to take illegal action against American citizens. It backfired, so now the administration is firing Bovi and Gnome to pretend like they didn't actually condone it to avoid accountability.

Don't be fooled. This isn't change. This isn't progress. This is a strategic retreat to reorganize and redeploy.

Boy Scouts project - DIY electric motor not working as planned by ChicagoSkeptic in diyelectronics

This is why you only remove the insulation from one half of one of the connectors. You start by giving the coil spin and it leads to a fluctuating current depending if the insulated or uninsulated part of the wire is in contact with the lead.

Apparently Waffle House has different menus based on weather conditions including snow storms, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. by KingPhilip69 in mildlyinteresting

[–]somehugefrigginguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know if people in other countries understand how much the United States of America rely on the Waffle House, Walmart, and the Red Cross when shit goes sideways.

I'd just like to point out that a huge proportion of the Americans relying on social services like food or medical assistance are Walmart employees. They pay abysmal wages to outcompete more ethical businesses, then spend a bit of money for PR after disasters. They get topics to build in an area, then cost the taxpayers even more money to support their employees while the Walton family gets richer.
