  • Thank you for doing that - you quite literally saved her life! A friend of a friend got overserved while underage at a bar in our small hometown, got kicked out of the bar, and froze to death walking home in -30°F weather. The bar was not held accountable for any of it. I wish someone had stopped and helped him out, it would’ve saved his life.

    Yeah this causes “fatbergs” which wreak havoc on city pipes. I get frustrated when I see memes like this condoning willful property damage bc not only is it stupid and it hurts other people besides the landlord, but even if the landlord has to shoulder costly repairs for plumbing inside their unit, they’re definitely going to pass those costs on to their tenants (either immediately or over time) so this could also contribute to rent hikes.

    I grew up in the country with an in-ground swimming pool that we heated with a solar cover. When the cover was retracted/rolled up Bullsnakes would hide inside. There were quite a few times when they’d hastily slither out unexpectedly, and I’ve been pretty freaked out by snakes ever since.

    When I first returned to Linux several years ago I started with Ubuntu, since it was the only distro I had used. I got confused when I installed Firefox and other apps via apt but instead got snap versions. This (very miniscule) gripe is enough of a reason for me to not recommend Ubuntu to new users anymore.



  • My friend sold plasma to save up for a PS5 only, so he got juiced a bunch of times over a somewhat brief time. Now, a couple of years later, he still has permanent puncture scars on both arms. I think this can build up scar tissue that makes it harder for nurses to get to your veins in the future (but I could be wrong about that, idk).
