Dude I would be so happy to take a peach tree myself if they let me and plant it at my house. I know its only 1 but sad so many are wasted.

Faces vomiting leopards

It does not sound like true crime is for you from a mental and emotional health perspective.

It is honestly one of my guilty pleasures and I really do feel guilty. Sort of morbid that we are entertained by someone else’s death.

I didn’t even know that area had packs of stray dogs!!

Very sad. There are way too many dogs and cats out there :(

I made a previous post about this. Anecdotally, I’ve seen numerous human drivers hit pedestrians in SF. Number of Waymos hitting humans that I have seen in local news or in person, none.

They are very very conservative with their driving in SF but can still navigate SFs complex streets (I.e. when a doordash is parallel parked theyre very good at driving around them).

Sorry for your downvotes! I follow a lot of FIRE (Financial Independence Retirement Early). All blogs and else have still continued to recommend the 3 fund portfolio. Which includes US stocks…

Admittedly, idk if there’s been a national shake up before in history but all financial peeps advising to stay the course… Historically, despite everything in past, its been solid.

Agreed. I’ve also seen a lot of hits (and sometimes runs ) in San Francisco. I haven’t seen a Waymo hit anyone yet and they have been able to navigate people parallel parking on the street. Waymos are not the best but they haven’t hit anyone and def know how to drive better than the average person in the city.

As someone who works in the bay area California. The Waymos are unfortunately better than most human drivers. It is noticeable…

Agreed. The technology is still new, evolving, or not there yet. I was at an aquarium only last month. They were showing me a machine where there are only 7 available in the US so far. The scientist only got it like 3 days before I spoke to her so she hadnt used it yet but it measures concentration of microplastics in the ocean and is specific enough to tell you what different microplastics are there and their likely sources. Really cool but this science is super new and in its infancy.

I’m not a JD fan but I don’t really quite understand how and why she is representing China. She is Chinese American yes but per Olympic rules, she has to have citizenship in the country she is representing but it doesnt seem like she does?? China does not permit dual citizenship?

Whats to stop other countries then from bribing other top athletes to represent them?

Oh. Yeah… Coworker issues can be universal no matter what industry lol. But yes! Continue to be there to listen to her and support her. Youre a great partner for asking the question! Therapy wouldn’t hurt but its a very personal decision.

Well, I would ask her first how she is feeling. Assess, dont assume. I manage ED staff and honestly they’re all okay unless there is a super super depressing case or a very difficult patient.

Otherwise, they’re fine and their work day is very normal for them. There’s even a few that thrive in it.

So unless her rant is about stress, maybe I wouldn’t worry. Lots of people in the hospital just like talking about their day or venting. If it is about stress or something more, there’s a lot of resources and interventions she can try/tap into: EAP, therapy, trying a different area in the hospital, etc.

Pokemon ZA. I’m almost done. Rank A. I am enjoying it. I actually have to use items in the game. I like the new battle system. Selection of Pokémon okay. My new favorite one is GoGoat

I hated most new Pokémon games except Arceus, Snap and ZA. Didnt bother with SRVB and sword/shield is the absolute worse. I like za of all the new ones. Story, character and gameplay are solid. New areas open up and many ways to make it challenging.

Bought used because I hate knowing Gamefreak could give us the game all us fans deserve: voice acting, better graphics, etc. But does not.

Unfortunately I know at least two… One even voted Trump because she believed in some of the conspiracy theories and is not very well educated. The other just apathetic in general. They both have teslas before and feel like its a good product. Like another comment said, most people don’t want to give up their services or products despite the consequences. I live in the bay and it also boggles my mind when I see new Tesla’s. Most people driving those are also like Asian or Indian that I’ve seen…

There is hope. I do also see many bumper stickers about being anti elon.

I don’t subscribe to this. I am happily married to my husband but understand love is very dynamic and monogamy isn’t for everyone. There’s also polyamory, asexuals, etc.

On a more personal level, I don’t desire anyone else and neither does my husband but we have a very healthy relationship with no jealousy. We are both secure and discuss attractability of others we sometimes find in passing (I.e. we witnessed a guy full sprint laps around us while on vacation walking around botanical gardens. He was a beast). If someone good looking, charismatic, or intelligent, that is just our perception of them.

TIL for me

Seconded. Polytopia is free and was extremely addicting when I first began. Kept me busy whole flight to Japan because you can play it offline too.

Vietnamese. “Hoa” is only one I know.

Think it’s also a way to get rich. My husband told me military and defense related stocks went up (he’s tracking politician trading)

I haven’t followed myself but can believe that.
