Probably "admin".

General Order 24 would seem to apply.

I assume they're returning to their truck to retrieve some sort of accelerant.

Yeah, I don't think you're going to convince me that state-sponsered euthanasia is an acceptable alternative to a broken health care system.

To me, this is the crux of it:

Dr. Jitender Sareen is part of a group of eight university psychiatry chairs who wrote to federal ministers and urged the committee not to expand MAID to include mental illness.

Sareen said practice standards to guide psychiatrists and clinicians are inadequate, and Canada is lagging behind other countries in mental health and addictions funding.

"Offering death when the person has not had the opportunity to get better, with or without treatment, is, in our opinion, not acceptable," said Sareen, a professor and head of the department of psychiatry at the University of Manitoba.

If mental health supports in this country were anything close to adequate, it would be a different conversation.

Until this becomes an actual news story, it's more appropriate for c/quarks.

If true, we should probably see some casting news in the near future...

 

Captain Burnham and the U.S.S. Discovery are sent to retrieve a mysterious 800-year-old Romulan vessel; until the artifact hidden inside is stolen, leading to an epic chase. Meanwhile, Saru is offered the position of a lifetime, and Tilly’s efforts to help pull her into a tangled web of secrecy.

 

They have quite a few guests lined up this year - the full list can be found here.

 

I never played CoH, but this is neat.

 

As usual, take these with a grain of salt, but...maybe?
