Please, I have exactly two brain cells to rub together and I can’t have either of them to getting distracted.

Vodik_VDK,

I don’t know about PPOs, but your HSA contributions should also be pretax.

“That’s where you’re wrong, Deandra. Corporations are people, an’ they got a right to own property, votes, and elected officials as much as anybody else! So I say if Mac wants to dedicate himself to generating profit for his shareholders then that’s his right and I’m not gonna stand by while you try 'an take it from 'em!”

“In fact! [Opens wallet] Hey Mac, now that you’ve announced your IPA I think I’d like to get in on the action and invest a little, what do ya’ say? How many shares you got and what’s your ask?”

“Anesthetic awareness.”

Vodik_VDK,

Because I felt my wisdom teeth get pulled, and because I identify as a problem.

Vodik_VDK,

No; dicks usually go in an oscilating or pendulous motion, while I simply go down.

Vodik_VDK,

New CAPCHA just dropped.

Vodik_VDK,

Thank you.

Original article is overwhelmingly whimsical and lacks hyperlinks for far too much of the body.

Another factor that makes lithium-ion battery fires challenging to handle is oxygen generation. When the metal oxides in a battery’s cathode, or positively charged electrode, are heated, they decompose and release oxygen gas. Fires need oxygen to burn, so a battery that can create oxygen can sustain a fire.

Because of the electrolyte’s nature, a 20% increase in a lithium-ion battery’s temperature causes some unwanted chemical reactions to occur much faster, which releases excessive heat. This excess heat increases the battery temperature, which in turn speeds up the reactions. The increased battery temperature increases the reaction rate, creating a process called thermal runaway. When this happens, the temperature in a battery can rise from 212 F (100 C) to 1,800 F (1000 C) in a second.

Vodik_VDK,

Anything less than a cooperative is a compromise.

Vodik_VDK,

Boating accident.

Vodik_VDK,

I do not get how people get blackmailed with their own nudes.

Like, who gives a shit? I see myself naked all the time. And now you have as well, blackmailer, so if anything I should be getting money from you.

Vodik_VDK,

Sounds like we just need a Share Your Nudes Week to help destigmatize a very ordinary part of modern life.

Vodik_VDK,

USB-A walked so USB-C could fly.

Vodik_VDK, (edited )

Yeah, obviously that sort of stuff wins by merit of practicality. I’m just wondering if there’s anyone who wants to go crazy with the idea for the fun of it.

Vodik_VDK,

Good to know about the power draw. I think Airtags use a button cell already, so in the end it’s just stripping down the Airtag, finding space, and then 6 screws for routine service.

Vodik_VDK,

I think that being able to wipe the tracker with a factory reset is a pretty big drawback for software-side, but —and I don’t think this is possible— if you could load it into the micro-SD and make that run the tracker, I (for some reason) see that being more robust or redundant.

I forget the thing has a micro-SD most of the time.

Vodik_VDK,

It sounds like he cocked it before raising it, his thumb slipped off the hammer at the end of the action, and then —with his finger in the guard— he reflexively tightened his grip and discharged it.

Same thing can happen with semi-automatic pistols when you hit the slide release and all the weight slams forward: you accidentally pull the trigger to keep your grip, and then it discharges.

Now that we're finally out of reddit, can we finally get different tag for NSFW and NSFL?

For the uninitiated, generally NSFW is for sexual contents and NSFL is for gory contents. People may want to see one but not see the other at any time for any reason. I have seen this feature requested over the years in Reddit but it never happens. Maybe now some instance can finally implement it?

Vodik_VDK,

NSFL isn’t as common as NSFW but it’s still an established acronym.

Vodik_VDK,

I feel like people could benefit from what I know about Butt Stuff™.

Vodik_VDK,

(Jacob Geller’s The False Evolution of Execution Methods)

It’s different than you might imagine. There’s a certain unmistakable mix of institutional power, mandate, callousness, and incompetence that makes state execution’s uniquely awful.

Vodik_VDK,

Inscryption.

I am not at liberty to elaborate.

Vodik_VDK,

Secrecy under pain of death.

Vodik_VDK,

For anyone else who works in these sorts of environments don’t be afraid to buy an aggressive hair net or bandana. If your hair gets entangled you’ll be lucky if a scalping is the most of your injuries.

‘Ranting, rambling, and paranoid’: Federal appeals court suspends 96-year-old judge until she passes mental exam (lawandcrime.com)

Judge Newman has threatened to have staff arrested, forcibly removed from the building, and fired. She accused staff of trickery, deceit, acting as her adversary, stealing her computer, stealing her files, and depriving her of secretarial support. Staff have described Judge Newman in their interactions with her as “aggressive,...

Vodik_VDK,

Disagree-ish.

I would suggest that, instead, after a certain age or catastrophic loss (such as that of a lifetime partner) we should all be receiving regular competency / cognizants evaluations. I think that compulsive retirement would be dehumanizing, a potential trigger for senility, dementia, or suicide, and a negligent misappropriation of the experience and institutional knowledge, that many of our seniors hold.

Vodik_VDK,

Part of it is because you still need a gig to keep the retirement funds rolling. You don’t want to live it out on pea soup and bread.

Part of it is because after a certain point every bit of your body, from your bones to your brains, is only available on a Use It or Lose It basis with no warranty for service blackouts.

And part of it is because, and l guess this is due to the collapse of the extended-family model, lots of people don’t have anyone or thing to go home to; they’re divorced or widowed, kids have moved out, and their social network has literally died out.

Towards the end of his life my father only had ONE surviving peer from grade school. Imagine how it is to call your only surviving friend on a regular basis and to wonder, each time, if today’s the day you learn you’ve already heard their voice for the last time.

Vodik_VDK,

Valid, but let’s not move the goal posts; new light bulbs were specifically questioned and, thanks to someone’s willingness to do some research and number crunching, light bulbs were specifically answered.

Let’s at least give thanks before we vault off to the next, existentially exhausting, item on the list of climate change issues.

It’s not like we don’t have time. Right xuys? Right?

Vodik_VDK,

Paint.net is nice because it has plugin support.

Vodik_VDK,

"Write a Check for $11,000. She Was 26, She Had Limited Value." [Seattle Police] Officer Jokes with Police Union Leader About Killing of Pedestrian by Fellow Cop (publicola.com)

In a conversation with Mike Solan, the head of the Seattle Police Officers’ Guild, Seattle Police Department officer and SPOG vice president Daniel Auderer minimized the killing of 23-year-old student Jaahnavi Kandula by police officer Kevin Dave and joked that she had “limited value” as a “regular person” who was only...

Vodik_VDK,

Well I suppose we could start by abiding by the tender suggestion of a certain document and not let them be the only ones with weapons.

Vodik_VDK,

When forced to interact with them, do you give more respect to flies or wasps?

About electric vehicle. If you add the maintenance cost for battery, how does it fair compare to gasoline vehicle? On cost we have to pay.

I heard someone said that, at the end EV will cost you almost the same as gasoline vehicle, if you have to change the expensive battery every so often. Can someone please give me more info on this? Thank you so much.

Vodik_VDK,

Too heavy, too integrated into the design. Might as well worry about people stealing your transmission or rack & pinion (TFW: that’s what your car uses to translate ‘turning the wheel’ into turning the wheels).

My great grandfather is deteriorating and I'm worried it is negatively impacting my family. What should I do?

My great grandfather moved in with me as he is having a hard time living alone and his cognition is starting to fade he is incredibly rude and claims false things due to his lack of senses in his older age and has fallen multiple times. I am starting to see that this situation could get worse and I am not sure how to proceed. I...

Vodik_VDK,

You may want to take this opportunity to educate your children on the relationships between lifestyle choices, old age, atrophy, and death, but also to ensure they understand that who they see is not who he was.

Vodik_VDK,

Isn’t this the stuff that the fascists tried to weaonize in WWII, but it was too dangerous to handle and it, like, burnt down a concrete bunker or something?

Vodik_VDK,

No, us generating content and community is how we get users. Reddit’s conduct only creates episodic influxes of users.

Vodik_VDK,

The day will come that you cherish those photos more than the rest combined.

Vodik_VDK,

You can use your flashlight to find and blind them so they’re easier to hit.
