I had a friend whose mom was prescribed Ambien. I think it was the first time I’d ever heard of it. She said she kept having experiences like waking up in bed with empty bags of flour and jars of mayonnaise, so she stopped taking it.
In the past, definitely. I'm not sure what the current system is.
Realistically, might as well read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pager as it knows a lot more than I do. I had a pager for several years and have done network programming, that's about it... i have an insulin pump that people often mistake for a pager though, ha. It makes me look pretty cool.
They're sent like a phone call. Afaik there is no confirmation on the network whether the device received the message.
Yeah, reading it, I definitely mixed the two. The first one I was thinking of for sure had a lengthy very sci-fi set-and-setting exposition where it explained that people flew around in hovering vehicles and their legs had atrophied. I can't remember the plot or anything that happened in the story, though, only that, so I think I just imagined that it had the plot of this Bradbury story. I've been wondering about it for a long time... I read it over 40 years ago and it was in a collection of stories probably published in the 60s.
What number of those people are of military age, though, fit, able, willing to upend their lives and would support whatever cause? A lot less than 330 million, I’d guess.
I hope so. Biden is old, but his problems with mental acuity were dramatically exaggerated by the media and conservatives. When people asked him questions, he would actually answer them. Meanwhile republicans were “omg he doesn’t even know what room he’s in bro” and that was sort of ridiculous. But then, you have Trump seems not just loopy but insane and deranged, and unlike Biden, he’s always been an idiot. However Trump he gets a pass from these same people. The press has never paid nearly enough attention to how incoherent he is. It gets frustrating because it has to be on purpose.
He claims it isn’t true, but they did a $250k settlement with her. Hmmm.
His ex-wife Ivana said in their divorce hearings that he kept Mein Kampf on his bedside table. Very believable, but perhaps he had it just as a token since I'm not convinced he can really read.
This is splendid. 100% fuck DoorDash and UberEats.
This guy throws away one of the most famous brands in the entire world and then says "uh, it's the Jews!". Out of all the incredibly stupid things he has said, I still find "And soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds." especially irritating.
It does seem pretty wild how widely it's prescribed given anecdotes like that. I also a knew a guy who had been taking it for over 10 years and clearly was wildly addicted.
