I mean, there was a dude with some blood disorder who wasn’t aware he had an issue because he routinely donated to blood banks.

The treatment for his condition was literally blood letting as we understand it. He only found out about the issue after he “retired” from donating blood because he was getting older.

Hanta still exists, and within the US.

At least when I worked in Yellowstone in 2012, we were told that rodents and their droppings were considered bio hazards. Not the sweep it up kind, the contact the officials kind.

My wife would agree. She has… so many womanly issues, but can’t find anyone to yank the damn thing out.

She wants no children.

I, her husband, had a vasectomy before we ever met.

We have no use for the damn thing and it just causes so many problems.

Absolutely awful parenting tip:

Hit them.

If they cry more, hit them again.

Hit them until they stop crying.

Repeat until they no longer cry for any reason.

Erm, the Borg would like to remind you that cubes have been a thing for a bit.

I felt pressured into it.

I was 19, and struggling.

No branch would take me, despite having a nearly perfect ASVAB score. Missed one question, and its because I never had access to fucking diesel engines growing up.

I’m epileptic.

So, after multiple attempts, I don’t qualify as “disabled” enough to receive benefits, but I can’t even sign my flesh away for an hourly rate like the dregs of society to die in some foreign shit-hole.

I’ll just die in my local shit-hole, thanks.

Plenty of firemen start fires to put them out, wind up with arson charges.

So, we know Musk smokes weed.

Now, I’m a medical patient in my state, which carries exemptions for employment with THC in your system. However, this does not extend to federal jobs or federally contracted workers.

So why the FUCK does this nepo baby bitch get a pass for a federally illegal drug and get billions in contracts and shit?

If justice strikes with inequality, it is not justice.

Though, I’ve been aware the system is bullshit since childhood, so, no big surprises there.

Note: Legalize it, tax it like any other vice, profit. Stop ruining people’s lives over a plant that grows almost anywhere.

I’d feel safer at a waffle house deep in the hood, wearing a red shirt while everyone else had blue on.

But a failed shitty product is right in line with Trump about as far back as it goes.

Doesn’t work. Sorry.

Trump is team (diet) Coke, and Taco Bell is owned by Yum Brands, which is owned by Pepsi.

Now if it came with its “own” Diet Trump Cola, maybe. The cup could have a depiction of Don Taco thin/muscular, you know, how he sees himself in a mirror

For a real answer, generally cutting blindly into a patient with no imaging is ground for a malpractice suit.

Edit: I worked in IT support radiologists for… too long, so my thoughts broadened past just an unfortunate insertion.

An adult secret I love to teach kids is that none of us really know what the fuck we’re doing either, we’ve just gotten better at winging it over the years.

If I could drive in the snow, and deal with the snow, and the rest of the winter wonderland I’m not at all accustomed to, I would have been in Canada a long time ago.

You say that, but eventually CDs will stop being produced.

Floppies still exist, but they are more and more difficult to find in the wild.

In the grand scheme of things, we’re all animals.

Push any of us far enough, starve us enough, etc.

This is why we have self-defense laws. It is inherently understandable that under duress a person (or lion) will act outside of their usual nature to secure food, shelter, or safety.

That being said, this is no way in defense of any mass-shooter types. There is a difference between self-defense and mass-murder.

Upon reading the title I thought, this person has never been severely dehydrated before.

I don’t recommend it, I must say.

I mean, really the modern equivalent is throwing your phone at a hard surface.

It certainly makes a statement. Fuck all of this to the point I’m going to sever contact with the world and throw away a ton of money.

If an amateur mycologist picks and eats the wrong mushroom that an LLM said was fine to eat, is the LLM liable for the death legally and/or financially?

I mean, I know better than to pick random mushrooms and eat them, but I don’t really care for mushrooms - though some have some delightful effects when metabolized, lol. The only ones of THOSE I tried, I knew who grew them, and saw the “operation,” and reviewed his sources before trying one.

Call me paranoid, but I’m not blindly trusting a high school drop out to properly identify mushrooms when professionals make mistakes to the point where any mycologist will tell you, DON’T TRUST PICS OR THE INTERNET.

It can be too difficult to tell from those sources, and I doubt the LLM and the human asking questions have the right wavelength of discussion to not produce misleading, if not entirely fabricated, results.

Yeah, I shave my head fairly routinely (damn genetics) and a bar of soap is generally fine for head, face, and body. Though if I’m growing my beard out past the “scruff” level my wife generally likes, I’ll apply some beard oil there.

I have definitely used some “girly” body wash in a pinch though.
