RizzRustbolt , in Cyclist fined for kissing wife during Tour de France

They fined him in Francs? WTF?

dhork ,

I guess the Tour De France likes their Swiss money

HejMedDig ,

UCI is located in Switzerland, so fines to rides are always denominated in Francs

Not the French one lol

logos , in Biden’s doctor reportedly met with top neurologist at White House

Dr Kevin O’Connor, a doctor of osteopathic medicine who has treated the president for years.

Wtf!?

crusty_baboon ,

A DO, not a chiropractor as you might be thinking. Vast majority of DOs practice exactly the same as MDs, many going through the same post-graduate training.

logos ,

Yeah, I was thinking of the chiropractor ones.

His responsibilities have evolved over the years, but Dr. O’Connor says the most important part of each day is saying, “Good morning, Mr. President.”

Because Dr. O’Connor and his team are some of the first people President Biden will see each day, Dr. O’Connor stresses the importance of greeting the President affirmatively and making themselves available. This simple engagement can help to set the mood for the rest of the day.

Osteopathic medicine isn’t quite quackery, they’re actual doctors, but it’s very questionable.

Osteopaths are fully trained and accredited MDs, so I’m wondering why you’re shocked.

Telodzrum ,

Technically not MDs, but yeah full-fledged doctors.

girlfreddy OP ,
@girlfreddy@lemmy.ca avatar

According to the AMA they are fully licensed, the same as MDs.

Osteopathic physicians, also known as doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs), are fully licensed physicians, just like doctors of medicine (MDs).

Telodzrum ,

Yes, the same as MDs, not as MDs.

logos ,

Oops. I was thinking of osteopathy.

aseriesoftubes , in Crews battle South Hill fertilizer warehouse fire in sweltering heat

For those who don’t want to click through, and since a lot of places have a south hill: this is in South Hill, Virginia.

Jesusaurus , in Reformist Pezeshkian elected president of Iran in runoff vote, defeating hard-liner Jalili

Pezeshkian wrote on the social platform X, still banned in Iran.

Interesting. He posted on a platform that is supposedly banned, directing his message to those that supposedly doing have access to the platform…

ISPR and all the Pakistani government accounts been doing the same thing for some months now.

Basically messages directed at people using VPNs or living outside the country.

ie “dangerous educated masses”

Chickenstalker , in JPMorgan Chase warns 86 million customers they might have to start paying for their bank accounts

Simply close your accounts and go elsewhere. When enough people do it, it’s called a bank run. Do it.

enbyecho , in Dangerous heatwave hits US from Texas to California with grim records expected

My weather station says today’s high here was 39.5C. The previous record (my data) was 36.6C and we have never ever had more than 3-4 days of 32C+ but we’re looking at 2 weeks straight of > 35C. Or more.

The really fun part is we’ve had multiple fires start in our or the adjacent county every day this week.

I just want to be cold.

“What do you say to the Proud Boys?”

  • “I don’t know them, but stand back and stand by”

“What do you say about Project 2025?”

  • “I don’t know them, but I wish them well”

Cool. Cool cool cool.

His wife might have had a performance enhancing drug on her tongue

jordanlund , in Oklahoma, Alabama Now Have AI-Powered Vending Machines That Sell Bullets
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Sooo… it scans your ID to verify you’re of age, scans your face to verify you match the ID, then scans your credit card to verify payment.

Not seeing where “AI” enters into it.

I guess the only thing that elevates this over an online purchase is making sure some kid isn’t using a stolen credit card.

What still makes no sense to me is the whole “18 for rifle ammo, 21 for pistol ammo”. It ignores rifles that use pistol ammo:

ruger.com/products/pcCarbine/models.html

www.henryusa.com/…/big-boy-rifles/

The 18/21 restriction is on what kind of GUN you can buy at that age, the ammo shouldn’t enter into it.

Gun dealer: “Sorry, kid, can’t sell you that box of .40 because you could put in a Glock, here’s a box of .223 instead.”

Matching the face to the ID could use AI

jordanlund ,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

It could, but there are far cheaper and easier technologies that have been doing the same thing for years.

Clent , in Cyclist fined for kissing wife during Tour de France

They need to fine the finer for the same thing.

cmrn ,

Yeah I saw them kissing the guy’s wife too

FiniteBanjo , in Oklahoma, Alabama Now Have AI-Powered Vending Machines That Sell Bullets

Really sliding into the post-fiction dystopia hard and fast, aren’t we?

snekerpimp , in Trump's Camp Says It Has Nothing to Do With Project 2025 Manifesto -- Aside From Writing It

Sounds like the orange shit stains memory and mental faculties are failing fast if he can’t remember stuff his campaign has been pushing for the last few months.

Machinist , in These queer farmers and ranchers are boycotting Tractor Supply and want you to join them
@Machinist@lemmy.world avatar

God fucking damnit. TSC is the closest ag supply to our new play farm. They’re high compared to Rural King or a co-op, but they’re convenient. Fuckers.

enbyecho ,

I’m lucky that I’m near enough to the central valley in california to have real ag supply stores. They even typically have actual supplies for tractors.

We just bought an old farmhouse in Pennsylvania that still has 9 acres, includes a small orchard and vineyard. My girl wants chickens and rabbits. I’m thinking a couple of steers next spring when I’ve had time to get good fencing up.

I grew up with cattle and worked on a tater farm through highschool.

We mostly just want to produce our own meat. Venison should be much easier.

The apple trees need a lot of TLC as does the vineyard.

I’ll be in the market for a small tractor. As long as it is running, I should be able to fix it up and keep it going.

enbyecho ,

Best of luck to you. We are on an old homestead and although none of the original buildings remain we did get several 100 year old apple trees. Not great producers (usually every other year is good) but tasty.
