I’m her eighth old man, I’m 'Enery! 'Enery the eighth I am!

- Comment on cooking question 5 weeks ago:
A whole typical cigarette contains around 10-12mg of nicotine. The wiki says 30-60mg is potentially fatal to an adult, but that it could potentially take as much as 500mg. So for an adult, unlikely. For a child, I see mixed things saying 1 cigarette could be fatal. This says 1-13mg per kg for an infant. So maybe, depending on the size of the butt and the child?
- Comment on cooking question 5 weeks ago:
So I just did a bit of research on it and according to Wikipedia and several journals it seems to be definitely possible for someone to die from nicotine poisoning. The wiki article cites two child deaths. I also found at least one article where nicotine poisoning was deemed the cause of death. Warning, it does contain shots of ther person’s dissected esophagus and their stomach contents. There’s a NLM journal article that pops up on a child committing suicide by nicotine ingestion, but the article was missing. So I can say it definitely does happen. I just couldnt find any readily available mortality studies showing how often it happens.
As for anecdotal evidence, I had a client with Pica, who would eat cigarette butts among other things and be vomiting all night.

I bring this up like every chance I get, but check out Libby if you don’t want to go to the library. You just link your library card and you have access to tons of books, audio books, and magazines. I also just found out about Hoopla a couple days ago and will be checking that out as soon as I go get my library card renewed tomorrow. Same principle, access to your library’s stuff, but also includes music and movies as well.

After much hinting and me going off, she clearly just didn’t care…
We eventually just started keeping the leftovers upstairs. If the guys ate it in a sitting, so be it, we at least had a teachable moment when they came and complained their stomach was upset.

Definitely not. She was salaried and made a little more than double what I do.

So I have to cook for my clients every day. Leftovers from most meals are kept in our staff fridge because the guys will absolutely gorge themselves on them if left alone.
Every fucking morning, our old nurse would come in and head straight for the fridge to make a plate of those leftovers. Never once brought in her own breakfast or lunch. If the behaviorist didn’t cook something for her for lunch when she was serving the guys, she’d go right back in the fridge.
Say there was enough for a whole other meal and we planned to use it again, put a big label like “FOR FRIDAY’S DINNER.” It didn’t matter… You’d go in and there’d be a huge chunk missing. One day, she actually ate a half of a half-serving tray worth of meat. I went in the next day and flipped. “Oh, I didn’t know it was for today.” “IT HAS A LABEL ON IT THAT SAYS IT’S FOR DINNER! I HAVE NOTHING TO GIVE THEM NOW! YOU ATE HALF THE MEAT MEANT FOR 8 PEOPLE!” “Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t know…”
It didn’t stop her, either… The worse part is that she was skinny as a twig.

I think less of everyone involved, yes… 150-200 people straight up abandoned their legally guaranteed rights…
However, that’s getting off track… my disappointment is with people’s inaction during THIS election. The one between a reasonably mid candidate and an absolute garbage dump of a felonious excuse for a human being.

You tried once, so you said fuck it this time…
You know mail-in, absentee, and provisional ballots are a thing, right?
Also, if you’re in line to vote and the polling place is set to close, you still have the right to cast your ballot, no matter how long it takes. They can turn new people away, but they can’t just close up and send people home if they’ve been waiting. If you were told to leave, those cops violated the law. And if they absolutely had to close, they’re required to give out provisional ballots. Know your rights dude.

“I didn’t like either, so I did nothing” is such a bullshit excuse…
Like it or not, we have a two party system. This was the worst possible time for anyone to decide to do nothing. Non-voters are just as complicit in what’s going on now because they chose to do fuck all when it actually mattered… I hope the righteous objection through inaction was worth it, because people are dying as a result now.

No… It didn’t just take one person…
It took years of planning, a carefully chosen selection supreme court justices and appointed individuals, a ton of media cooperation, billions of dollars, and half a voting population of gaslit idiots.
Don’t chalk this up to just Trump… At least half the nation is culpable in its own destruction.
- Comment on What are your favorite Tactical RPGs? 1 month ago:
Absolutely loved both of them! I think UFO Defense was the first pc game I played on our first 486. It was one of the first games I ever successfully hacked.
Not sure how many people know, but there’s another game from Gollop, Rebelstar Tactical Command for Gameboy Advance. It’s part of the Rebelstar series dating back to the ZX Spectrum. It plays pretty much the same as the original XCom games.
- Comment on What are your favorite Tactical RPGs? 1 month ago:
X-Com - UFO Defense and TFTD are definitely my favorite. Fallout 1&2 are a close second and I’ve been meaning to play through them again. Ogre Battle is a distant third, with Front Mission right behind it.

- Comment on First/notable 3D games where you could dive below water (and walk on land) 1 month ago:
Everblue 2 for the PS2 is one of my all-time favorite games. I play it about once a year. The original was an EU only release thst I didn’t get to play until a few years ago. It also had a sort of spiritual successor with Endless Ocean 1 & 2 for the Wii, made by the same developer. However, the first one didn’t have any of the treasure finding mechanics and there was no real threat to the player at any time. Neither series really let you walk on land, so to speak. The Everblue games do have above water parts, you return to the island between dives to talk to people, sell treasure, sleep and such, but they’re prerendered images that are more like a point and click adventure. There were a couple pc games I played around the same time that were made by independent developers that never really took off.
