Looked at a diet plan from a reputable major medical clinic. 1) They're still using problematic bmi, 2) they included an ingredient as a "gluten-free substitution" that ain't gluten-free. I'm trying to see past it, but what else is outdated or flat wrong?

I'm beginning to suspect one of my favorite whole foods is triggering my autoimmune junk 2.0. Why body? Why must tomatoes be the next food taken from me too soon.

I wanted this Meg Ryan film to be good. It is not. "What happens later" has left me wondering if it's a dnf

Here's a totally nebulous and open-ended prompt for those who care to respond: In what ways do fish exhibit what we might describe as *wisdom*?

Uhm what? No, not a good idea.
Elon Musk’s AI tool Grok generates racial slurs, and creates violent and non-consensual s*xual content.

Now, the Trump admin wants to feed Grok classified military data.

Workers need safety guardrails to stop dangerous uses of AI.
Musk’s AI tool Grok will be integrated into Pentagon networks, Hegseth says
Defense secretary says AI tool will join military systems later this month as it comes under fire for sexual imagery

Folded and put away 3 loads of laundry. Loads 4 and 5 are in their respective machines finishing. Dishwasher was emptied, reloaded and run. I guess today wasn't a total loss.

Ffs- sick employees cost money. Deceased ones have to be replaced with newly trained folks- which costs money. I'm less likely to go out and spend money on bad airdays-i suspect I'm not alone- ergo it's adversly impacting regional economies as a whole. This is beyond daft.

Guy I've been on 4 dates with drove himself unannounced to Wendover from slc on a school night (2hrs from my place). Said he was gambling. I've told him i don't gamble, so told him to enjoy Wendover. Later he texts he's spending the night "cool have fun." Now he's not talking/ giving ghost vibes.

Where are my folks engaged in marine science/conservation in Belize? I’d love to connect with people in this arena, w/ two niche areas of special interest: work on fish (parrotfish et al) as reef engineers, and the protection of spawning aggregations (Nassau grouper etc). Grateful for any leads!

Got the shingles vaccine today due to immunosupressing meds. Pharmacist said it would have effects. Flu or more tetnis, I asked? In a class all its own, but I don't need to preemptively call out. Oh fun.

The email has a link to the leave restoration process- you'll need to work with your supervisor to gather the needed documentation. We only know what's happening at our agency- hopefully other agencies join in the restoration.

I've been on two dates with a dude. We're still in the nervousness, getting the feel for each other phase. I can already see why he's divorced.
