  • When I had an ulcer, I called an ambulance at 3am because the pain was so bad I could hardly breath

    The ambo driver didn’t want to take me to the hospital and said it was probably just heartburn, but after I insisted they took me… He even made a joke that I must have been fine because I brought a battery pack and people who are having “true emergencies” don’t think of those things

    At emergency, they kept insisting it was heartburn despite me telling them I know what heartburn feels like

    They gave me medicine for heartburn that made the pain so much worse… It was only at that point when I was literally screaming in agony that they decided they better actually investigate

    Half hour later I was on a helicopter to Sydney for surgery

    They wasted well over an hour telling me I just had heartburn before they even decided to start investigating it.

    I can only imagine the pain this poor man went through at home after the drs Palmed him off


  • There’s already a noticeable drop in quality. I bought a big Mac meal recently for the first time in a while, the fries were like toothpicks, and the large fries seemed much smaller than I recall.

    The burger had the tiniest dollop of sauce and the patties were so thin they barely held their shape.

    I know it’s all purely anecdotal, but for years I was hooked on their hash browns until they changed the recipe… And now I can’t stand them but at least I’m losing weight so that’s good haha


  • Samsung messages was using RCS since 2012… Years before Google messages adopted it.

    There are others out there that use it but call it by different names like “advanced messaging”, “SMS+” etc

    Google was the first to add e2e encryption and push it hard though, but if you send a RCS message from Google messages to Samsungs messages app, it won’t have e2e, and most likely will be the same with messaging Apple.

    But given how much Apple have fought to make it hard (or at least inconvenient) to message between them, and shut down any apps that made messaging between Apple and Android better, this is a big step for Apple
