LOL! I actually looked at two grocery stores a few weeks ago because I really think that my nephew drinks it.
If I ever find a gallon, I will be shouting into the Fediverse looking for my bestie, AquaTofana!
- Comment on If someone evil want to murder a lot of people, couldn't they just add prions to meat and slowly infect everyone with Prion Diseases? 1 week ago:
LOL! Seriously. You need to channel that “alt-universe evil me doing a bunch of Bio-terrorism” into a comic book, novel, movie or something. I think I mentioned it to you before in one of your previous posts.
Anyway, I have nothing to contribute about Prion disease unless you twist it into a zombie plot… After all, it does lead to brain damage with symptoms similar to dementia.
I may not always engage but I do appreciate your creativity and enjoy your posts! As always, 👍

- Comment on Why would a company force you to use a rental car instead of your own for a drive to the office/Christmas party? 2 weeks ago:
Hypothetically, yes but there are injuries and other factors involved. Also, who does the car belongs to?
If someone drives into you and totals their car and hurts you while you are on work business, they only worry about paying for your costs.
In many states, if you (car 1) are hit from behind, it is their (car 2) fault. Fault needs to be determined to establish who is legally responsible for the financial burden for property damage, injuries, etc. **
The car is a tax writeoff to them.
The insurance companies will determine if a vehicle is totaled; if the total repair cost is more than the vehicle’s Actual Cash Value then the vehicle is a total loss.
If someone drives into you and totals your car and hurts you while you are on work business, they need to now worry about paying for you and your car.
Again, any collision where injuries are involved is always complicated. Fault needs to be determined in order to establish legal responsibility. ***
**There are 16 states in the US with No-Fault Insurance Laws. Drivers in these states are required to have Personal Injury Protection (PIP) on their car insurance policy which helps pay for medical costs after a vehicle accident regardless of who caused it.
***Workers’ Compensation is a type of insurance that provides salary replacement and medical benefits to employees become ill or injured because of their job. This is not my area of expertise.
I didn’t realize until now, I’m so sorry for the lengthy response.

You are correct.
if there is an incident and your personal insurance is involved, you might be hit with higher premiums for years, and would have a case to have your employer to have the increase be reimbursed.
This is where a lengthy mediation comes in with both parties trying to avoid litigation. For companies, it’s almost always cheaper to settle (I speak from experience having sat at both sides of the table).
Most people don’t realize that a moving violation ticket can cost them approximately $45 or more a year for the next four years, depending on the infraction and/or state you live in.
I absolutely agree with you.
- Comment on Why would a company force you to use a rental car instead of your own for a drive to the office/Christmas party? 2 weeks ago:
Liability and insurance.
It’s easier for a company to rent a car because the contract states who is responsible for what in the unfortunate event of an accident.
Sure, you can get reimbursed for the mileage, gas, tolls and probably time but not for wear and tear when you’re using your own vehicle. If there’s an accident, who’s insurance is responsible? That becomes very complicated. I know that sounds absolutely horrible…
Over the years, mainly due to litigation, many companies have made it a company policy to not use personal vehicles for company functions.

- Comment on VOIP - Lifetime alternative to hushed 1 month ago:
I used Hushed as a giveaway phone number (food delivery, new account sign up, etc.) and was fine with it until it wasn’t cost effective anymore.
Most of my friends still use Burner app but if you’re interested in keeping the same phone number, look into MySudo.
- Comment on VOIP - Lifetime alternative to hushed 1 month ago:
If you’re in USA, Canada, Australia or UK, check out MySudo.
They have three different plans starting at $19.99 USD (year) for one VOIP phone number; when my subscription expires, I plan on renewing and possibly upgrading.
There’s a Free version but it’s just email and no phone number. They’re cheaper than Hushed and more reliable.
Avoid TextNow, it works fine until you need it or expecting something important (voicemail or text) and that’s when they lock you out until you pay up.
Note: I didn’t read the fine print or ToS for MySudo UK so I don’t know what they need from you if you sign up.

Dinner and Dessert in the same plate for an eco-friendly meal? Less dishes to wash?

Done. Had to figure out where to go to change my profile pic – didn’t take as long as the video, lol.
- Comment on Where do you ask for TV Show suggestion on Lemy? 2 months ago:
Perhaps it’s Luther, Line of Duty, Broadchurch, Endeavor, The Tunnel?
Or Midsummer Murder, Case Histories, Professor T?
It doesn’t sound like Death in Paradise, Brokenwood Mysteries, The Frankenstein Chronicles, Annika or The Fall.
BritBox has a list of tv series similar to Sherlock, Alienist, etc.
There’s Haden Clark but that’s gruesome. There’s a TV series about it on AppleTV and somewhere else I can’t remember but same title.
I’ll come back if I think of anything else. Good luck!

- Comment on NPR Sunday Story - an approachable story on why privacy matters and the invasiveness of surveillance capitalism - Lemmy.World 2 months ago:
TBH it’s been frustrating to see how watered down the reporting has been this year.
Agreed. Perhaps it’s because they were trying hard to deliver unbiased news (which is boring), whilst every other news station focuses on sensationalism or clickbait to get more viewers.
Regardless, they lost their federal funding anyway simply because they did their job and did it well IMO. Sad.

YOUR body, YOUR choice!
If you think that you’ll regret it later on, you can always make a deposit to a sperm bank. These days, I highly doubt it’s covered by insurance. Also, you need to do some research (and a lot of phone calls/emails); some places are so damn strict that you need an appointment just to get info.
A friend did that before, he has no regrets. Good luck, young lemming!
