@Jayhawk_69 There is no bill, only the executive orders. As is his custom, President Trump is attempting to create another wide swath of executive authority by fiat rather than by making a legislative proposal to Congress. He cannot revise antitrust law by executive order, nor can he demand concessions by funding cutoffs not related to the authorizations creating those funds. He can try, but courts are curtailing his reach in doing so right and left. As with the law firms who capitulated, some schools will try to voluntarily impose these limits on their students but there is no hope that courts will not continue to find liability. An EA is no defense. More likely, schools will realize they face legal substantial liability if they comply and will sue to enjoin enforcement by DOJ. Bottom line, the president cannot compel people to break numerous laws.

Lots of speculating going on, with people thinking they can read minds. Let's all get mad and assume bad faith by a player who may well be in the midst of being far more frustrated than all of our fan-doctors.

@ROCKCHALK2025 As a judge for 19 years, I found the legal principal of requiring evidence to draw conclusions applies pretty well to analyzing everything in life. In other words, speculation alone isn't probative. But speculation can generate theories about things, but theories without evidence are pretty hollow, so best usually to wait for actual facts.

@approxinfinity HEM always wanted to get rid of Self b/c he only won 1 title and didn't keep gettng into the F4. Then HEM disappeared (during Covid I think), and Bill won a second title a couple of years later. The "What have you done for me lately?" impatience is ridiculous considering all the drastic challenges facing coaches.

@rockchalkjayhawk I would root against Duke if Ted Bundy was the opposing coach

Ted's team would just eat 'em alive.

@crimsonblu22 Londoners are in the minority, thanks to their open immigration policy. (Sound familiar?)

Pretty sure London is inhabited entirely by Londoners.

LB Leo Chenal to Washington. 3 yrs, $24.75 mil. This one bothers me.

Maxx Crosby trade has been nixed by the Ravens after his physical. Likely more to it.

Good rule of thumb: until a visit gets locked in take all interests with a grain of salt. Sorry for the mixed metaphor

I think a metaphor combining a grain of salt with your thumb is perfectly reasonable as a variation on drinking tequila shots and licking salt on your hand.

Ran 5 miles saturday on the treadmill.

Just saw this. 5 miles on a treadmill...and you find some KU games boring?

@approxinfinity A special place in the darker recesses of my soul for the Slavers.

@rockchalkjayhawk Chiefs can save $1.6 mil on the cap, with a dead money hit of only $430,000, if they cut him. I'm all for it. Idiots gonna idiot, as they say.

@ROCKCHALK2025 My heart goes out to you. Hospice workers are among the most caring people in the world. Good luck to you in this difficult time.

@crimsonblu22 Sorry, was on a plane. It just got over. KU eliminated by Mich 12-10. Pitchers'duel!

Boo, KU got mercy-ruled 9-0 by #3 Okla, and plays Mich in an elim game tonite.

Meanwhile, KU beat Michigan 1-0 in the women's softball regional on a walkoff hit in the 8th inning. Happened to tune in for the last inning.

Projected at no 2 by a recent Atlantic column.

I’m not sure if I know a person that doesn’t believe we need major changes in the healthcare industry.

Being happy with my doctors has no effect on my fervent belief that the health-care industry needs major changes! And even though we are very lucky in the insurance we have in addition to Medicare, we also believe that the system is a disaster for most people and needs to be completely overhauled. There are way too many instances of insurance bean-counters making health care decisions.

@patoh3 said in Darryn Peterson:

One thing I would point out that I find too commonly, is that patients don’t see vitamins or supplements as medicines.

John Oliver's show last week highlighted the dangers of "gas station drugs"--all those "supplements" available in rack after rack promising more energy, better moods, pain-free joints, etc. Some have substances that have the same addictiveness, or more, than opioids (one woman spent a total upwards of 6 figures over several years before getting rehab). And no regulation because those substances have never been named on any federal drug schedules and the states are virtually powerless to address them. Many people assume they must be healthy or they couldn't be sold OTC, and they don't even tell their doctors about them.

Another issue is the packaging: Companies can just buy empty packing material and label, and put anything in that they want. Even dirt. Really scary,

@kjayhawks2.0 @patoh3 Our doctors are great, and the cardiologist ratified our suspicions. Even the NP made an understandable mistake. What this and other experiences tell me, however, is that the internet can be very useful and people should make sure they know what is going on. But like product reviews, you have to be able to separate the crap from legitimate information. I learned about researching medical materials when I volunteered at the medical library at the VA hospital where my wife worked. Not everyone has that experience. More importantly, because my wife's family has lots of instances of drug sensitivity, we always peruse the drug info sheets to look for side effects (Walmart actually stopped giving out the info. Only a QR code to link to it). This time we were caught up in lots of stuff and blew it.

The article sounds like his natural level was very high, possibly unexpectedly so. The training staff likely made assumptions that would usually be appropriate. Five days ago my wife was prescribed a medicine and her NP went over the common side effects. Turns out she didn’t mention an unusual one--tachycardia, happens in less than 1% of reported effects. Her heart rate, usually about 57, has been over 100 for lengthy periods over these 3 days. It is starting to go away but we had a scary time until discovering the culprit. (Thank you, Dr. Google, and all the subreddit members!)
