- Comment on There are people who are still using toilet paper purchased during the pandemic. 1 day ago:
I’d have to go look up the exact wording, and it’s on my drive that I don’t have hooked up right now. GFCI was required for any outlet in a bathroom, but there was still a ban up until the most recent edition on any outlet within the… shoot, the word/phrase escapes me, something like ‘shower space,’ which includes the area with four horizontal feet of the edge of the bathtub. I have a toilet right next to the shower/tub combo, and a door next to the toilet, which meant no outlet allowed near the toilet and thus no electrically powered bidet.

I’m just happy that the newest electrical code is allowing electrical outlets closer to bathtubs. Otherwise I’d never be able to have a powered bidet on my toilet.

Chaotic evil includes eating the heels of the bread first, because you don’t want that sweet extra protection layer from fungi.
- Comment on Let's put an end to the discussion; what is the best way? 1 day ago:
This is the way. I rarely eat bread that isn’t at least warmed, so the only issue with the frozen bread is the effort it sometimes takes to separate slices.

Right? I love it when the internationale comes up after some chvrches, then is followed by some screamo. Drives anyone in the car with me insane, but I get pumped.

Instructions unclear, silicone now in bladder.
Also, it’s kinda ass to put that in someone else’s filter system, and you don’t want to be dealing with it in yours.
- Comment on Why Do Sovereign Citizens Keep Pursuing Unsuccessful Legal Defenses? 1 week ago:
The dedication of these individuals is noteworthy… What drives this persistence? Is it a deep-seated belief system that overrides rational analysis
It’s a lovely little combo of desperation and digging themselves into a hole. Most of the elements of sovereign citizens come from people who are not in good situations, as outlined by the canadian court’s very thorough opinion (which has already been linked twice in this thread, so I won’t bother it again). Once you’re in it, the same situation occurs that you can see with people in cults, mlm companies, or ponzi schemes. Maybe if you keep going, and pushing through the pain right now, you’ll get that mythical payoff. The alternative is to face the fact that you’ve likely ruined your life, rendering impossible whatever you hoped to achieve in the legal system in the first place.

Breathing IS part of effective cpr. It is absolutely recommended. Compressions alone are better than nothing, which is why we had a brief period where that was taught for one-person-cpr (and was meant to make nonmedical personnel more likely to do SOMETHING), but anyone trained in cpr should absolutely be following the compression:breathing ratio taught in cpr classes.

- Comment on Telepathy will be real once we master brain computer interface 1 week ago:
Should be relatively simple to fuck with that interface though. After all, if you have access to the hardware, no system is truly safe. We’ll have enough tinkerers and thinkers that will probably come from the same rich core that gives us FLOSS developers, and they’ll have some real fun coming up with ways to fuck with anyone trying to read the machine.

- Comment on The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business 1 week ago:
You’re not wrong, but there are a lot of places in america where law enforcement presence is a long way away. Those places also typically have two lane highways and not much, if any, shoulder. That makes stopping the truck easy enough. Add to that the heavy presence of hideaways in the forests around, and you could jack a fair amount from a truck and shuck it into your box truck before skedaddling to a rural dirt road and all of its pullouts right quick.

You know, I think that’s only true in teens and tv. I think that I’ve seen and had a fair few breakups in my time, and more than 80% kept the same friend group and are absolutely on board with remaining friends.
- Comment on I have a shamefully dark question for firefighters. I'm sorry but I'm just too curious to not ask... It's about the smell and how that affects life. 1 week ago:
The smell hasn’t ever affected my life. It was noticeable, but not really scarring. I always avoided looking at the burned bodies, because it wasn’t my job to pull them out. The visual was pretty bad.
I think my first (and worst) was when we had to wait about six hours for the medical examiners to come and get the body. The scent permeated everything, to the point where the much more experienced fella I was working with advised to take off my clothes in my garage/outside the house and rinse them there, and only later bring them directly to the washing machine and add boiling water to the tub as it filled so the water would be even hotter than just from the water heater.
After we had been there for six hours, we went to eat (it was night shift and about midnight, so we hadn’t eaten anything for probably 18+ hours) at a burger joint. I get my sandwich, tilt my head down to take a bite, and that compressed my uniform shirt. Well… that air inside the shirt was completely from the dead person air, and I got a face full of it. Had to blow the air away for a second before I could take that bite again. I do remember the sandwich being delicious.
I don’t think any of my family knows when I find/see/examine dead bodies. They don’t need to hear about it, and I eat when I’m hungry; no meal changes required. I probably wouldn’t sneak a piece of raw sausage as it’s ground after seeing brain matter, but I don’t usually eat raw meat anyway.

It feels like such a silly example now that I know the game, but tales of symphonia made me give up for about three years before coming back and beating it. There’s a section where you’re supposed to go to a specific city to progress, but there’s a semi-secret long way around that lets you experience a different character’s story early. Well, I somehow sucked at following directions and went the semi-secret way, and then couldn’t figure out how to get ANYWHERE that let you do anything. I wandered around the same continent for several months (playing a few hours a week) before moving on.

Jesus, the finding people thing was tough, but finding the quest item that I had already looted from a grave and either dropped or sold to a random merchant? Game ending, man.

You got to do it in a dennys? Our post performance was always at some random bar that was still open after we closed up. Greasy fried cheeses and stage makeup is a wonderful combination for falling in love.

Efficient in terms of miles per gallon or liters/100km, sure, but unfortunately they are also heavier polluters. I obviously don’t want to give mine up, but the pollution means I would switch to electric as soon as it meets my needs and is affordable.
