Leperflesh posted:So I supposedly have an upper respiratory tract infection and have been prescribed antibiotics. Over the phone, I guess based on a fever lasting three days. Is this one of those "antibiotics are massively over-prescribed" cases? Also I have three antibiotics allergies so I've got Azithromycin this time, but I'm concerned I'll develop allergies to more and have a dwindling number of effective antibiotics left available to me as I get older. While you may not have a bacterial infection, based on what you have described the antibiotics are meant to be preventive. Like right now you have a perfect storm for a sinus infection or pneumonia developing. The antibiotics will help prevent that, and may help you get better a bit quicker if a bacterial population has already started its thing. Are you allergic to three antibiotics in the same class? Like are you allergic to penicillin and therefore most penicillin analogs? That is nothing to worry about, especially since an actual allergy (as opposed to sensitivity) is pretty rare and there are plenty of alternatives. Taking anti-biotics doesn't make you allergic to them (outside of some rare cases). Almost all antibiotic allergies are type 1 hypersensitivity, meaning no prior exposure is required for an allergic reaction to occur. edit: Also, there is no correlation to sputum color and etiology (bacterial vs. viral vs. allergen induced). swickles fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Jan 1, 2018 |

Almost any monument or structure that still exists today was built to last forever, so basically yes. Like, you aren't going to build your house with the same reverence as a tribute to the thing that makes the Sun come back everyday.

Probably Magic posted:What I'm getting form this person is that they're offering their corpse up for twenty-four hours of selfies once they die, correct? Isn't "pleading down to desecration of a corpse" a trope in Law and Order type shows where the person dies, but someone covered it up hoping to get away with it despite not doing anything wrong? Like, I know I have seen it in Bones and Law and Order, has to be in every show right?

Crosspost from TVIV, but in wake of thr Logan Paul stuff: Oh this whole thing reminds me, Do You Want to See a Dead Body? is really funny. Its on YouTube Red, but half the episodes are available for free. Its Rob Heubel taking friends on a trip to see a dead body. As expected, Terry Crews is a delight.

kiimo posted:Chiming in to say that The Good Place is indeed funny and the girl who plays Janet is a superstar. My favorite line from the last episode was when someone says the Jags suck his response is "No we don't. We just need some offense and some defense and some rule changes." Also, check out the season 1 gag reel on YouTube. They improvise so many great Jacksonville jokes. Also, TVIV has its top 10 voting for shows of 2017 that is being culled from the top 50, so check that out for a succinct list.

axeil posted:Can we ban HOAs for non-condos already? The only scenario where they make sense is when you're literally sharing walls with people. HOA's are only as good as the people running them. In the house I grew up in, the HOA negotiated a base cable package with the cable company. So you had to have at least basic cable (you could always upgrade) but it was cheaper than normal. They also did all the landscaping. The only time they ever sent notices to people was if it was something really bad or unsafe. That said, like I only ever hear horror stories about HOA's. The one where my parents live now is bad, its all retirees who fight with each other and have nothing better to do. They also don't know what a budget is and do really dumb poo poo that ends up costing even more money on top of the dues.

Its not quite as simple as "they dont just care anymore". A lot of people (not all, and not specifically naming someone) will have some degree of atrophy of the brain at that age. Atrophy of the frontal lobe, which is also a lobe attacked in a lot of other disease processes, results in a lack of inhibition and poor decision making. So its more that the governer that tells you not to do things gets busted, which is why the elderly are often handsy and blunt. Its also quite prevalent in women too.

Mr. Nice! posted:I’ve been in a waiting room at a va hospital for two hours after a two hour drive. The surgeon i’m supposed to see for a consult isn’t here and i’m seeing a resident instead (who probably can’t make surgical decisions) so i’m likely to have to come back in 3-4 months when they have another appointment for me. I closed the taco truck last night and today as a result foregoing around $500 in my pocket to very likely waste my time today. While the attending has final say, the resident does make a lot of the decision making, especially if he is in his 4th or 5th year.

a neat cape posted:Scarlet Letter. Ugh. It would have made a great short story. Hawthorne's short stories were really good and I think students would be better served reading a couple of his short stories over the Scarlet Letter. I remember Earth's Holocaust being one that stood out. Leperflesh posted:I read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance when I was 17 and immediately felt very confident that I was now a super smart hot poo poo guy and all my peers were sadly quite mentally deficient for not having been exposed to such incredible philosophy and wisdom. I also had to read ZAMM in high school. I remember reading it at the time and wasn't sure if I was "getting it" or if there wasn't much to get. I did end up getting a degree in philosophy and in retrospect it was a book that had some great ideas surrounded by a bunch of nonsense.

a neat cape posted:My AP US History class was right when the 2003 Iraq war started. My first semester of college was in fall 2001. I thought about doing Poli Sci as a major, and was taking International Relations. Our teacher literally ripped up the syllabus once classes restarted after 9/11. I took IB English which I liked because it included books that weren't US/British authors only. Off the top of my head, we read Scarlet Letter and a couple Hawthorne short stories, 100 Years of Solitude, The Sailor who Fell From Grace with the Sea, Dune (I chose that out of a list of like 25 other books), and a couple Ibsen plays. Then senior year was Handmaid's Tale and some Atwood poetry, some Frost poems, The Sun Also Rises, Song of Solomon, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Heart of Darkness, and a few other short form readings.

No one cares that I met Russel Wilson  . He was a super nice pygmy that signed autographs for children despite being in a hurry. I am a little salty because this is the first celebrity encounter I can discuss without violating HIPAA. He was super nice and I hope his dolphin training classes go well! edit: Tom Cruise babysat me once while filming All the Right Moves, but I have no recollection of that.

Spoeank posted:Oh I didn't know you met him I thought you just saw him. I went to the airport to pick up my aunt who is escaping the bitter cold for a few days. Her plane landed and had to wait 45 minutes for a gate. As I am waiting, there was a guy with 3 small children who were all apparently Seahawks fans there to pick up a family member who texted them that Russell Wilson was on his flight. Russell comes out signs some autographs for the kids but says he is kind of in a hurry, shakes hands with people and signs a few things before darting off to towards bag claim or car service. Was a real nice guy and made sure the kids were happy, but still shook hands and said hi to everyone, even the people who had no clue who he was, and then bolted. I feel like he acted the exact same way I would if I was a celebrity; shake hands, make the kids happy, and run.

Homeopathic remedies, which is just water thats been diluted a thousand times over is indeed horseshit.
