I'll be looking into free versions of Chat GPT and the like. And I like the idea of AI summaries of Joe Rogan because I don't think I could actually listen to him without having an actual aneurysm.

That covers some things, but the algorithm feeds people such nonsense at such a high rate that it's hard to keep up with.

Truth social is one I hadn't thought of. I should also look into getting on an emailing list from Goop.

Bookmarked on my personal accounts because then I'll have access to full text articles through my institutional subscription when I go digging. :)

I do ask them, but some of the things they say/ask about are just so baffling that I'd like to know about it ahead of time so I know what to respond with or recommend instead. Also, it's kind of along the lines of needing to know all the slang terms for drugs so I know what they're talking about when they OD on something or take something that interferes with their actual medications.

It hurts my soul that this is actually a good addition.

Subaru has great safety ratings and the "used Subaru tax" (as in, a used Subaru tends to be more expensive) is because they are very good cars. They have some of the best safety ratings on the market.

That would be more similar to the Caduceus anyways given the number of snakes.

That's the only time I think it's acceptable. Ambulances are kind of a venn diagram of healthcare and couriers, so the 2 snakes on the star of life makes sense.

The medical symbol of the staff with the snake is only supposed to have 1 (one) snake on it. A staff with 1 snake is the Rod of Asclepius (the son of Apollo and Greek demigod of medicine), a staff with 2 snakes is a Caduceus which is carried by Hermes as a messenger or herald.

Physicians get 1 snake. Couriers and heralds get 2 snakes. Any medical professional or organization that uses 2 snakes is wrong and needs to go study the humanities and classics for a bit.
