- Comment on Klarna’s AI replaced 700 workers — Now the fintech CEO wants humans back after $40B fall 1 day ago:
Their system screwed up an auto-payment which they eventually fixed. They however left the delinquency mark on my account (they only corrected the notice sent to the credit bureaus), so any purchases had to be paid within 30 days.
Couldn’t and close out and delete my account fast enough.

While not as serious or deadly, the radium paintbrush story comes to mind

You might be overlooking the undertone of sarcasm in the complaints. No one is actually truly mad or anything, more humorously cynical of it.
I think most of it stems from how half-assed the censorship usually is along with the relative pointlessness considering how common explicit words are on the internet

Going by the writing on the wall, it’s for a 3-way dimmer switch. It also is likely the picture was taken during its install and not from someone trying to find a stud

I’ll have to try this with a coworker’s. He was also auto tech, so it’ll have to be hidden well…

- Comment on New Cars Don't All Come With Dipsticks Anymore, Here's Why 1 week ago:
That chronological duration is more of an estimate based on how much the “average” car may be driven and is just to give someone an idea of the frequency.
The standard for cars built for synthetic (“conventional” cars may have a bit more susceptibility to contamination, so they normally have shorter durations) usually usually go for 10-15k miles (~16-24k km). So going 30-45k miles in a year isn’t really unheard of. (Some cars are much less, while others like company cars/taxis can be more than double)

Try with a different/new cable.
The contacts on a USB-C cable can become fatigued and lose the tension needed to maintain a solid connection, which can cause this issue.

It might be by locale. I live a couple blocks from a high school and I’m seeing the opposite. Kids are wearing baggier and baggier jeans, some even near JNCO style.
- Comment on Boys and beans and... 3 weeks ago:
Meme:
why did boys stop wearing jeans like this??
My answer:
I just saw a high schooler wearing black ones when grabbing something to eat at the store.
(I.E. They are still wearing them, and in different colors)

The picture is of a vaccination though, not euthanasia. It’s a random stock image chosen by someone who doesn’t have any practical medical knowledge.
This would be a more apt image…
But, yeah barbituates are only IV or IC (intracardial; mainly for small animals like hamsters)

Here’s a quick video to add, giving the reasons for the 3 drugs. youtu.be/aP7rP6_OxKI
While it may not seem too bad on the surface, there is relatively high failure rate of 7.12%, which is pretty alarming as most of them were doses (of any of the drugs) that weren’t high enough. (Some may even have been intentional)
- Comment on This woman must have a really bad dog 4 weeks ago:
That’s actually the correct technique for a subcutaneous injection. You have to tent the skin with 2-3 fingers so that the needle can get under the skin layer without going too deep.
- Comment on This woman must have a really bad dog 4 weeks ago:
It is. All anesthetics used for euthanasia (mostly barbituates), that I know and recall, are either given via IV (in a vein) or IC (directly into heart). Nothing other than certain vaccines or just fluid are given subcutaneously.

It was the last part of the show where they pull two people from the team to try to get 200 points for the extra prize.
Both cannoli and tiramasu got zero, with ice cream as the top answer.

Aside from the battery in the keyfob, what about the car’s battery? If left connected most cars would drain theirs within a month or two. Also, if left discharging/ed like that for too long, the cells can start to sulphate, leading to a bad/non-working cell.

I mean, if you covered his face, he’d look like a 3-4y/o who likely needs their parents to dress them.
On a side note, a lot of older men either lose track of where their waist is or pull their pants up to try to hide their overhanging belly. It’s mostly people from a generation that always wore pants with the waistline at or above the navel
