If I was worried about that I’d probably refrain from voting on those kind of posts, or use a separate account to do it. As it is whoever is u/d a post or comment is easily viewable anyway.

That’s kind of neat, but why would it matter if your votes do or don’t federate?

I don’t even want new, I just want something a little less potatoey. My pc is almost old enough to move out on its own and start raising tablets.

I have a bad back so I can handle this for about 4 minutes tops before I have to pull up a chair.

From a few weeks ago on their site

Missile strikes on datacenters in Ukraine have knocked multiple servers in our network offline. We are working to restore them.

I assume that’s part of it.

Yup it was just a regular “one lane each direction” road, just outside Yorkton Sask. I don’t know for sure, but I think they were probably drunk or stoned out of their tree. Either way they were not paying attention to what they were doing.

The second one I felt pretty bad about, although it wasn’t my fault. Even my supervisor told me he would have done the same thing because it was tagged as regular baggage. When I was unloading the plane I had tossed it down onto the baggage cart and it made a thud noise… I had just assumed it was just someone’s shoes or something, not a burnt kid in there. It had come from way up north so It’s understandable I guess that they didn’t have the proper means of marking it, but at the very least a heads up would have been nice.

First thing that comes to mind is driving semi in Saskatchewan once I came across an older slower moving car (a Chrysler K car) full of people on the highway. I pulled out to pass them, and as I was passing the car I saw in the mirror that they started to wander into my lane. I ended up putting half the truck into the ditch to avoid them getting under my trailer. I had 9 tires on the grass before they realized what they were doing and swerved back into their lane. They had wandered far enough over that they were completely in the oncoming lane at that point, leaving me nothing but shoulder and ditch.

I was fully loaded (around 80,000 lbs) If I hadn’t watched my mirrors as closely as I did and they got under my trailer they would have been nothing but a smear on the road.

Edit: Another time When I was 18 I was working at the Wpg international airport. A baby had died in a house fire up north and it was sent down to Winnipeg for an autopsy. I guess the people working up there had run out of cargo tags so they had put a regular baggage tag on the bag the body was in, and neglected to tell anyone. My job was to unload aircraft, so seeing a regular baggage tag I just tossed it onto the cart and it went to where you pick up your luggage. It was there for about 40 minutes before an ambulance showed up asking for it, and none of us had any clue about it. Thankfully nobody snagged it because they would have been in for one hell of a surprise.

A senator. They’re apparently a great ROI if you can afford one.

I know here in Canada it’s illegal to own a skunk, but there are places you can get them “de-stinked” and have as a pet. They supposedly can be pretty chill too if they’re domesticated and not wild.

Be better than a guard dog too IMO. Someone comes on your yard and sees a fart cat they’re not going to want to get out of their car.

Electrickery.

According to one religious person I’ve talked to, animals don’t have “souls” so they’re not worth anything. I argued there’s no difference, many animals have emotions and awareness, just like us. His reply was they we are smarter than animals.

I asked what about dumb people then, because there’s considerable overlap between the dumbest people and the smartest animals. Like at what “IQ” do you obtain a soul? That’s about when he tried changing the subject.

Ah ok, was wondering because I know that one got yanked off the shelves for causing heart issues.

That drug wouldn’t have been called Vioxx by any chance?

Not sure if the same one, but did it involve (if I remember correctly) sensors on your fingers and the needles went up kind of closer to your shoulder for them to send the pulses through? I had my right side done because of nerve damage to my wrist.

In the poor treatment category…

Long story short as I can make it and make sense, had a falling accident at work. I got hit in the head by flying piece of iron and gotten knocked off a scaffold, falling down 7ish? feet and belly flopped onto a concrete floor with my right arm under me. They x-rayed my arm, stitched the wound on my head, and said I was good to go. My arm… not sure how to word it… just felt wrong. I’m used to a lot of pain and have a high threshold, but something just was off about it. I asked the doc and they reassured me two doctors had looked at the x-ray and it was fine, but if it still hurt in a month to go to my family doctor.

K great. Go home, and for the next few weeks I do my thing, trying to use my right hand fairly often to help “walk it off” so to speak. After nearly a month of it not getting any better made an appointment to see my doc. (one month to the day of the accident.) Got another x-ray. I had barely got home when I got a call from my doctor, he saw the problem immediately when he got the pics. Turned out that when I fell, one of the bones in my wrist got dislodged and the tendon that attaches to it pulled it back into my carpal tunnel, pinching off the nerves to my thumb and two fingers. (Apparently our other two smallest fingers nerves run separate and to the side.) Sorry to any med ppl if I skewered that explanation. Perilunate dislocation is what they called it.

So basically, two different doctors didn’t notice the bone on the wrong side of my wrist. Me being the idiot I am, kept using it for a month like it was fine. I don’t like taking painkillers so I smoked a shitton of weed that month lol all because two doctors didn’t look close enough at an x-ray.

“He stands on a leaf and waits until Autumn.” (Punchline to a joke I read in grade 3 from the 70’s.)

Not in porn, but I saw a girl from my friend circle in high school as a stripper.

I used to work on the road and as a result our crews spent a lot of time in hotels and bars across the country. One place we were at had a strip club, so after work we had stopped in for a few beer. While we were sitting there, the next show was about to start, a girl rushed by our table and towards the back part of the stage. Something about her seemed familiar but I wasn’t sure why until she started her bit and then it clicked. A few minutes later she recognized me and waved at me from the stage.

After the show she came over and we talked for awhile and got caught up. She was talking about how a lot of guys used to make fun of how she looked but “look at me now! They wish they could get a piece of me with my new boobs!”

It was nice to see she was happy. Personally I didn’t think she looked any better with a boob job but that’s just me. The foreman on one of the other crews was in love with her though and collected all of her posters, plastering them all over the work van, so I had to see those bolt ons every time I went to the other mill for the rest of the summer.

I think they mean a cam that doesn’t need to be plugged in through usb to work, like an ip camera.

Speed I’m bilingual in, I’m old enough to remember when we changed from miles to km and watching the road signs gradually get replaced. Manitoba also runs a grid pattern on roads throughout a lot of the southern province, having at least a gravel/dirt road nearly every mile, so you kinda grow up with that burned into your brain.

Temp wise, C all the way. Fahrenheit totally screws me up. I know 70 is around room temp but beyond that I need to convert it for my simple brain to understand.
