Watch him be the one that starts the electoral schism of the Republican party

Everything the man does is transactional. Support me and I'll support you (for a little while anyway). Fuck me and I fuck you

I enjoy listening to morning edition - usually through the app. I also contribute to NPR monthly. They have to stop the on air fundraising campaigns. It really drives listeners away. At least give those that already contribute an alternative feed.

The timeline didn't split until the Narada showed up. So, if it's before that moment, it is still the original timeline.

True, but this is House bullshit, not the Senate

It would be nice to see the NX-01 in there

You are correct. But what Austin Powers was referencing was this scene from The Prisoner. Top notch 60's TV!

Do the police compare DNA to genealogy databases? The odds the person used one is low, but maybe a family member?

Right now US privacy laws aren't compatible with one overarching centralized healthcare record.

Short of that, however, would be an interoperable system. Epic, which is the largest US medical record system, allows for different facilities on the same platform to share information. It is up to the specific facility if a records release is required. Most systems in a given region will have that worked out ahead of time and build it into their general consent for treatment (a form everyone signs). It works quite well. Where I practice, I am able to get all the information I need from across the country, assuming they are on the same platform at the time I am seeing the patient.

For other platforms, it's more mixed. Federal law requires certain interoperability, but it is fairly limited and not real time. Generally it involves a flash drive with the info on it.

As for the comment about changing platforms in a similar system, that is a struggle. Hospitals are required to keep patient information forever. When they first started going up on electronic systems, they only went back so many years as the scanning costs were huge. As time has moved forward, many systems are bringing all the information over to the new system so they don't have to maintain more than one electronic system for archive purposes.

We use Fluency Direct, but you are correct. Dragon is quite popular too.

Woodworker here. Building with "wet" wood will always result in some wood movement. For exterior applications, wood with around 9-14% moisture is reasonable. For interior applications, more like 6-8%. You can get moisture measuring devices to give you an exact reading.

Green treated wood is not great as most box stores will not allow it to dry properly before putting it up for sale. You can plan for this will corner bracing and such, but it will move on you if too wet. You can find stacks in the lumber yards that are drier than others which can help. Another option for exterior applications is to use kiln dried wood such as cedar and then apply a good sealer to it. If you really want to use the green treated stuff and it's too wet, stack it with shims between the layers and allow it to air dry until you get to the desired moisture. That should minimize the movement after building with it.

There is a good article here.

Physician here. There are too many possible issues with pregnancy, social situations, etc. to ever effectively be able to navigate that decision tree via legislation. It is barbaric to force women through a non-viable pregnancy. It is barbaric to withhold medical care from a woman whose life is threatened by her pregnancy. It is barbaric to force women into a devastating social situation.

Society will never agree on where the line should be placed or what is morally correct. The decision needs to be in the hands of the mother and their medical team.

Finally, for those who believe in "natural consequences". No birth control is 100% effective. Not all sex is consensual. Non-viable pregnancies happen regardless of how careful you are. Bad outcomes aren't always the result of bad choices.
