Do you mean QR codes? Things that look like this? You typically need an app to open them, but I presume most smartphones have one as a pre-installed/background app these days. Open the camera on your phone, hold it over the code, and if an app is pre-installed, it should tell you what the code...

Tell that to Hotblack Desiato #HoopyFrood

Even worse, midazolam is just a sedative drug, and is pretty cheap, and not discontinued (one specific supply format is in shorter supply but was slated to come off backorder last month), so even that ostensible (loathsome) reason for its use is invalid. I've had no issues getting it for my...

I also recall watching Buffy during late high school/early college and having a few discussions with friends about the difference between "girl power" vs. what, to me, often seemed like an excuse to gleefully showcase a slight-of-build young woman get the everloving snot beaten out of her on the...

I think this is also partly that (most) American English speakers have no or little understanding of the subjunctive case in their own language (i.e. it is correct to say "If I were to go to the store," not "If I was to go to the store," but most people don't use the former) much less being able...

Not a native speaker of French (so I'll defer to others about nuances of regional pronunciation) but "parler" as the infinitive form of the verb "to speak" would indeed be pronunced "par-LAY" in French. The pronunciation "par-leh" sounds more like what you could get with poetic/lyrical...

What most struck me is this (perhaps unintentionally) revealing line (emphasis mine). This is PRECISELY what should be taught in the police academy, to be able to coolly approach this type of encounter and intentionally "do nothing" (punitive or retaliatory) but instead either maintain stoic...

FYI, "crackles" is actually a legit medical term that we use for a specific type of adventitious (abnormal) lung sounds that can be heard on airway auscultation (listening to the lungs with a stethoscope). The crackling sound can be heard occurs when air moves through fluid (mucus, effusion...

I don't get the impression that they - or more accurately he (as there only is one listed person associated with the site, one Matthew Ricchiazzi, who is ostensibly the publisher, and no authors/official sources are listed on any of their articles or on their "contacts" page) - writes articles...

The source is a fake news site - I hesitate to call it "satire" like the Onion, as it deliberately doesn't indicate that it is not legit, unlike the Onion. Though given 2020 insanity, probably this will inspire some tiny, insane groups of Karens to propose similar actual legislation in their...

This one? (It's by Neil Skorpen)

I mean, there's this as an example, but I agree that it's nowhere near the rallying cry from conservatives trying to shut down anything that they don't agree with.

Reportedly the last tweet from the now-deleted account: So because people are stupid we can't have entertaining nice things. (Seems as though the original was a send-up, but people got all huffy about it regardless.) A different person on twitter (@ PunkProfStories) has taken up the thread...

Recent research has suggested that protective post-infection immunity may wane quickly, so unlike, say, chickenpox, this likely won't ever be a one-and-done-type disease. Until there's been enough time for a sufficient number of previously infected people to become re-exposed, it'll be harder to...

As an interesting note, the lyrics of "Suicide is painless" were written by Robert Altman's (the film director's) 14 year-old son, because Altman Senior wanted to create "the stupidest song ever written" and he found it too difficult to come up with lyrics that were "stupid enough" to fit his...

Or the treat contains something that the dog is allergic to, or the dog chokes on the treat, or whatever. The point is still that the man intended that the owner "would not like" what he was going to do. To put it in a way that maybe you'll understand a little more, would it not be a threat if...

I tend not to wade into argument quagmires like this, but the guy self reported saying: "I'm going to do what I want, but you're not going to like it" to the woman. Whether or not this happened exactly as stated is somewhat irrelevant, as we have no video evidence of that particular interaction...

Apologies if the methodology/actual wording of the question was posted somewhere, but not seeing that, I can say that I am not sure how I personally would answer the question "I believe that the US has a greater/lesser/equal share of coronavirus infections." If the question were "The US has a...

Science nerd note - some people actually do use nebulized "hydrogen dioxide" (aka hydrogen peroxide) as an adjunctive therapy for viral respiratory diseases. Not that it's an officially sanctioned treatment or anything (as it can be quite an irritant depending on concentration used). Of...

The series had moments I liked and moments that I really disliked (I am still mad about the killing of the mudhorn, as I think it severely undercut the overall message of the show, but that's a rant for another time) but more than anything else, I kept thinking "wasn't this an episode of...
