  • They mainly want to know two things:

    1. Is it increasing or decreasing? This requires them to ask you multiple times over the course of treatment or multiple visits. For these purposes, the first number you choose isn’t that important. Just stay consistent and let that first decision anchor your later ones. But,
    2. Can they diagnose you based on pain severity? They have a range in their heads that corresponds to “appendicitis”, for example. If they tell you in advance whether you should be saying “8” for that, they’ll bias the diagnosis; you just have to pick one. If they have a diagnosis in mind and the number you choose is wildly off, they may discard that possibility and look for a closer match for diagnosis. If you pick something slightly outside that range, they’ll do more tests and exams and ask you more questions to see if the discrepancy is meaningless.

    Bottom line, it’s fine to choose whatever feels right in the moment. Probably stay away from 10’s; a person with a 10 pain is probably unable to answer the question. You can answer “1” if they’re examining the wrong body part; if you broke your wrist and they’re prodding your leg, a 1 for your leg is totes fine, but make sure to give an answer that feels right when they poke your wrist.

    (Besides, if pain severity is a factor in diagnosis, they can probably SEE you’re in pain. People in a lot of pain flinch, and sweat, and stutter, and move gingerly, and protect the extremities that are in pain. They know that. They can see it.)






  • I highly doubt they did anything remotely like “hacking” the seed phrase. I don’t care for cryptocurrency, but I hate cop bullshit even more, so here’s my 2 cents.

    or just found it written somewhere in the house?

    this one.

    A seed phrase is just an encoding of a long binary number which can be used to derive the secret key. Trying all the possibilities probably isn’t possible, and I think it’s also unlikely that they found a way to weaken it. What they probably did is find it and type it in. They DID raid the dude’s house, where he was probably keeping a copy of it.

    “Twenty or thirty years ago, police did not hack, that was not a thing that they did, but that’s very much part of the bread and butter of a modern police force nowadays,” Mr Uren said.

    LMAO fuck off with this. I don’t doubt they have some tech guys on hand. I don’t think they have access to the quantum computer you’d need for this.










  • New hire firefighter [leaning against a dumpster]: yeah I used the AI that puts out fires to get this job. They would have been able to discriminate against me if I hadn’t done that. Glad that in this crazy fucked up trash fire of a world, there’s still something out there helping to level the playing field.

    Veteran firefighter: that trash behind you is on literally on fire
