Hello everyone. This is Oreo. He adopted me when I was in Cairo for work and I brought him back with me to the States. Everyone thought I was crazy.

You might be amused: Metafilter: "Please help me win this very important Christmas argument. I could swear there was a Star Trek novel about either Klingons or Romulans or SOMEBODY growing Vulcan brain tissue (somehow? in vats??) for nefarious purposes, and Vulcans in Star Fleet could sense the pain of this tissue and had to rescue/destroy it.

A Covid Update

Covid is everywhere.

There are many ED patients without symptoms, e.g. the ankle fracture patient has Covid.

All of the severely-ill Covid patients are unvaccinated.

There are many vaccinated patients that are mildly sick.

I have seen two vaccinated patients who were moderately sick (one with hypoxia, one with rapid afib).

The inpatient team sent Covid titers on one of my moderately-sick Covid patients.  His anti-spike titer was quite high. 

Thus far, I have not seen anyone who had gotten the third shot (booster) come in with Covid.

We have an outbreak of Covid among health care workers at my hospital.  We are all vaccinated due to a State mandate. 

In my area, Covid patients are not dying or getting intubated like they did in Spring 2020.  At least not yet.

In my ED, no one is dressed in full PPE like we did last year.  PPE availability continue to be limited.

Unlike last year, the ED is packed with patients with minor complaints despite the spread of Covid.

It is very likely that Covid will start to hit nursing home patients.  They are starting to trickle in.

The local positivity rate is reported to be 7% in the news.  In the past week, the positivity rate in my ED patients is more like 90%.  I told my residents not to tell me “this patient has Covid” but tell me when “this patient doesn’t have Covid”.

We know that Bajorans and Cardassians easily hybridize, going by Ziyal and unnamed cult baby, where for alien species, this normally requires significant medical intervention. This in turn implies that Bajorans and Cardassians are unusually closely related, begging us to consider Vedek Bareil’s cloaca.

its been 6 months and im still not over this. easily best and most hilarious play in baseball history

[fucktheflagandfuckyou]

for those who dont really understand:

-the first baseman had no reason to chase Baéz, if he just stepped on the bag he was automatically out

-theres two outs, so if hes out, the inning is over. even if the runner on second base gets home, the run doesnt count. its not until hes safe at first that the run scores

-theres no specific rule in baseball about running backwards from first, just that you “cannot retreat to home base” meaning so long as if you dont touch the plate, its fine

-Baéz ran backwards to kill enough to get the run to score, and then stole and extra base on the base on the bad throw

-HE TOOK THE TIME TO UMPIRE HIS OWN PLAY AND CALL SAFE

what a fucking sport yall
