@DanKaszeta I think Mike here needs to look up why it's called legionella...

@DemonicEdwards @RyanMarino @CherylRofer In the US, osteopathic (DO) medical schools adopted science-based medical practice, have a curriculum that is almost identical to MD schools, and have access to the same residency programs.

This is unlike the rest of the world, where osteopathy is basically chiropractic.

@CarriePoppyYES I don't have snakes myself, but I reccomend the @SnakeDiscovery YouTube channel (https://t.co/cMynsjsvqI) as a form of exposure therapy. They are so informative, fun, and positive about the reptiles in their care. It's helped me go from "snakes are scary" to "snakes are cool".

@markocheese @henryimiller @MicrobiomDigest @MDAndersonNews Could also be healing brush, based on how the features are lower contrast from right to left, as if they're making a copy of a copy of a copy. Since I switched careers from design to chemistry before content aware fill was a thing, I'm less familiar with how it looks!

@markocheese @henryimiller @MicrobiomDigest @MDAndersonNews My immediate thought was someone going wild with a clone brush.

@CarriePoppyYES There are two in mine. For a few months, there was a third uninvited species, but the 2nd species intervened and now there are two again.

Whenever you feel down about your contribution to the world, remember Thomas Midgley Jr., the inventor of both leaded gasoline and freon.

@travlingmathieu @kevinmnye1 @cathleenfarrell Narcan is now available for purchase without an individual prescription in every US state. Who can buy it and what training or qualifications they need differ from state to state, but every state allows it in at least some cases.

Hey @MicrosoftHelps, wanna help?

[Susan Richardson @WildCation]

4 days spent waiting for @Microsoft to restore my hacked account. Obviously despite having the old recovery email, phone number, Authenticator account, IP address, and location I’m more shady than the guy with a new IP address, location and (random letters)@ mail-mine .ru email

@stargazingfool0 @morethantracyt @frogs4girls Yeah, in 38 states there is no legally required paid time off. Even when an employer offers paid time off, employees often feel pressured not to use it.

[Susan Richardson @WildCation]

@morethantracyt @frogs4girls Employers in the UK are legally required to offer full-time workers 28 paid days off including bank holidays. I get 30 paid days off in addition to all the bank holidays.

Oh, and in the UK if you're off sick for less than a week, you don't have to provide a doctor's note.

@RyanMarino Red licorice is the best licorice, specifically because it's not actually licorice.

@RyanMarino @DruvBhagavan @zoonotic1 Not usually wild plants in my case, but people food that our resident scavenging Maine Coon fuzzball has stolen when we weren't looking

[Susan Richardson @WildCation]

@RyanMarino @DruvBhagavan @zoonotic1 Speaking as a cat owner who has had to google "Is X toxic to cats" more often than I can remember, I do think pets are more susceptible than humans. On the other hand, the fact that I've had to google that more times than I remember offers support for your hypothesis!

@PAFAMILYVET @RyanMarino @DruvBhagavan @zoonotic1 And unlike toddlers they never grow out of it!

@TinyTweetSNC @Vicky29721 @Sara_Rose_G Maybe not practical for all restrooms to be replaced with individual rooms, but venues with public facilities should be strongly encouraged to have >=1 (scaled with venue capacity) single-seater, unisex, accessible facility with a changing table if appropriate for the venue.

@trefenten @KarenPercy1 @theIDPharmD @RyanMarino It was one of those ridiculous fake teen fads in the 1990s which concerned parents and gossipy teens said was totally happening because their uncle's barber's cousin's actuary's daughter had died from it.
