The whole “bovine” joke was hilarious on one hand and a little horrifying on the other. It got me thinking: how would I feel if an animal I was about to consume came up to me enthusiastically conveying its consent for being eaten? I will be horrified, just like Arthur! But why?...
U.S. regulators say they will review the use of a chemical found in almost every tire after a petition from West Coast Native American tribes that want it banned because it kills salmon as they return from the ocean to their natal streams to spawn....
Where I am, cooking oil is now $14.99 for a 3 liter jug and never goes on sale anymore. It used to be $5.99, and would frequently go on sale for $2.99. I haven't deep-fried anything in months. This isn't the way I expected to start eating healthier...
More complicated, Kbin doesn't propagate downvotes from the Federation as a whole. It only counts the ones made on Kbin. Upvotes do propagate though, and reputation is determined by the ratio you get of upvotes to downvotes. So technically your Kbin reputation is inflated and not entirely accurate.
When I worked for Bell, they had just ended their WFH policy. I was required to be in the office every day. The rest of my team was still under the policy according to their contract, including my boss who was a 10 minute walk from the office, so they all worked from home. And most of my meetings involved teams in 3 different cities, not to mention the fact that it was Bell, so all meetings were over the phone with a screen sharing app. There were some other people that worked in the office, but they worked with different teams so I didn't interact with them beyond saying "hi" in the break room as I was getting coffee. But it was apparently very important that I be in the office.
Some days I really appreciate the fact that I left IT.
Got laid off from Bell and couldn't find another IT job before EI ran out, so I applied to be a mail carrier. Been doing that ever since. I did apply to a few IT jobs after I started doing mail, but it wasn't long that I realized I could make more where I was and I really didn't miss It all that much. It's a little frustrating when I hit bugs in the software we use, because I could write the bug report in full detail but I have no access to submit it. But then I get done at 1pm on a Friday and I remember why I left that world.
It was widely used up until roughly the 1990s. Then they just came out and admitted to being in a monogamous relationship, as it was more publicly acceptable by then.
Sarah Katz, 21, had a heart condition and died hours after she drank Panera’s Charged Lemonade, a large cup of which contains more caffeine than Red Bull and Monster energy drinks combined....
Most 8 ounce cups of coffee contain 80 to 100 milligrams of caffeine. A large coffee from Tim Hortons is 20 ounces which has roughly 250mg of caffeine. And I used to drink 2, sometimes 3 or 4, of those a day.
I'll likely be dead by next Tuesday. I sure could go for a coffee right now though.
Edit: For those that want to plan accordingly, a 20 ounce blonde roast from Starbucks has 475mg of caffeine. The dark roast had about 340mg.
I only stop sleeping when I sustain 3-4 large Timmy's a day for many weeks. On an average Sunday morning when I don't have anything to do, I can drink 2 cups of homebrew and fall asleep on the couch watching TV.
Consequently, among other observations, I've also considered getting tested for ADHD.
Crewman Chell took over immediately with a full menu after Neelix left, so I'm pretty sure there was already something planned back then too. And it's not like he enjoyed the work that he was assigned, so why wouldn't they just let him work with Neelix before? Really, a lot of problems could have been solved by just allowing the Maquis crew a little more freedom in choosing their duties.
There's a limited selection of phones available. Generally the ones with good specs and a good metal frame that is well supported and has readily available cases and accessories that can be bought from a local store come from only the unprivate companies.
Just sounds like you need to start training by chewing gum at least 8 hours a day. And none of that Dentyne stuff, you need to find the cheapest pizza shop with the "Pink Gumball = Free Pizza!" gumball machines and chew those. Give it 6 months and 400 nuggets will seem like nothing.
Last time, I used: “Anybody need anything while I’m out?” and that went over well. May not make it through this surgery on Friday, so I turn to Lemmy for top-notch suggestions for my potential last words!
There was a very real conversation about putting litter boxes in classrooms as a way to give kids locked in a classroom during a school shooting for hours a way to use bathroom. That got twisted by far-right pundits that kids are identifying as cats and that's why they are putting litter boxes in classrooms. It's just another way to attack people that "identify" as the "wrong gender". It's complete bullshit and anyone with more than 2 brain cells to rub together that can use Google could figure it out, if they weren't completely focused on denigrating anyone outside their strict interpretation of gender.
So it may have taken 13 years to come back with a sequel that no one asked for and no one expected. But at least he gave us something. Unlike a certain South African director that shall remain nameless...3 years my ass...
You can be offensive and funny at the same time. But it's an extremely fine line, and difficult to pull off. Watch Jimmy Carr if you want to see it done properly.

Don't blame people seeking health care for going to the last option available when there are no family doctors taking patients and all the clinics are severely understaffed.
Of course you did. You're not handing your device over to Best Buy, you're handing it over to Jimmy on the Geek Squad who is quiet and a bit weird. And he loves to snoop into other people's phones. Not for identity theft or reselling naughty pictures, but simply for the fun of snooping on other people.
Backup your device and wipe all of your data before handing a phone over to anyone else. It's just safer that way.
With a USB cable and your phone manufactures backup software installed on your computer, as recommended by your manufacturer?
But seriously, this may not always be an option. And you have to decide if you want to risk giving it to Jimmy in that state. But keep in mind that you do, Jimmy is taking a copy of those bikini pics. And you probably don't want to know what he plans to do with them.
