The numbers you’re looking at refer to “wrong site surgeries” which include very small errors, actual wrong limb amputations are very rare in the US these days.

I had one of those common little yellow sac spiders land me in the hospital once. Generally I’m a friend of spiders but not these, they deserve to die.

Just last summer painting my house on a 32' extension ladder can of paint on a hook and a brush in my hand I enraged the bees and hornets under the rake boards. Smashed some of them with the paint brush the others just snagged and smashed with my free hand. I think I went eleven for twelve with zero stings that morning. OK my lumber just showed up.

That’s impressive actually. My knees aren’t great, I can’t do high ladders.

How did you enrage the bees, I’m guessing you tried to impress them with your amazing artistry?

Nice work

I really do wish I was there to see it. Usually when I enrage the yellow jackets I try to talk them down or perhaps appease them with a bit of overripe fruit. Honestly this never works and I end up getting stung.

As an aside, I was just thinking, you do realize that Trump’s push to make the Fed cut interest rates, start trade wars, extend tax cuts for the rich, kill solar and wind energy development, halt Biden’s infrastructure spending, unpend the agricultural labor supply, disrupt scientific research and international collaboration on infectious diseases, slash government spending for food and assistance programs for the elderly and poor, cut Medicaid…god I’m out of breath…

You do realize this is going to absolutely pound the working people you declared have “spoken” right?

Asking for a friend.

Although I enjoy bantering with you spence..... questions i have asked have been ignored and deflected instead they lash out in desperation. I certainly feel no obligation to answer yours. Ill not convince you and likewise.
