Analog television. Sure it may have been a bit grainy and staticy when the signal was weak, but the video wouldn’t get all blocky and outright freeze up, you could keep watching your show and not miss anything.

Good thing for sure!

If it were me and the lady behind me turned it down like that, I’d probably just say something like…

“Well I was blessed today, so I figured I’d pass a bit along. If you’re sure you don’t need it yourself, then perhaps go buy a meal for a homeless person or buy a kid a toy for Christmas. Pass it forward.”

No evil here, you did a good thing 👍

I dunno, exploding golf ball maybe?

Disclaimer: Nope, I’m not gonna do that, nor am I making any serious suggestions.

If the compressed files are of the same/similar format, more compression is possible as the algorithm can detect more related patterns to compress.

But if you toss in a variety of file formats, compression will tend to suffer more.

Sometimes, the easiest way is just to try and see, different formats lend themselves to better or worse compression.

The files that tend to be worst at compression are the ones that are already compressed themselves.

NO HABLA JIBBERISH!

Haha, have a good day mah dude 👍

I don’t know any other way to say that, perhaps read over my quote a few times and think about it a bit… 🤷

💩🍍

Wait wait…

You folks don’t have a kicker? Well how do you start the baby then?

When it comes to word salads, I tent to tell everyone the same thing…

“I have the right to wipe my ass with a pinecone, but that doesn’t mean its the right thing to do.”

So if the woman has to yeet the baby to execute the birthing process, why is there no goal post?

Ok, I’m still trying to understand here…

According to a number of other comments, execute basically means to complete a process. So, isn’t the pancake the executed final product? Isn’t the baby?.. 🤔

English is so fucking confusing 🤷

So to execute a program is to start as execute a human is to…? 🤔

Interesting, thanks for the info and link.

So the next time I meet a woman that recently gave birth, I can confidently congratulate her for executing a new human!

So, if there was any actual consistency to the English language, giving birth would mean the same as executing a new person…?

All awesome advice, but this is a pocket size kit that’s practically full already. I think I might be able to fit a 2 Alka-Seltzer packet in there, but that would be a pretty tight fit…

Edit: I already have some medical bandage tape in there, probably only about 2 feet or so though, re-rolled section to be flat to fit in the box…

Meh, I ain’t stressing it too much, I’m mostly using select supplies from our home first aid kit, 140 items. All too many are just average size bandages, Equate brand, almost like they just simply dumped a 50 box of them in there to pump up the item count…

Just using what I got ya know, not like I’m in a hurry to have to even test different bandages…

True that.

Here in South Mississippi, yes we have a few rare wildlife risks out here, but we rarely venture out into the woods.

We either travel by vehicle, or I ride alone on my BMX bike. Which means our biggest risk might be busted knuckles or busted knees, or allergic reaction for me from a bug bite…

I just used plain old super glue, but I kept close inspection of the wound and bandages and disinfectant and all as it healed.

After washing thoroughly and after the bleeding finally almost stopped, I used either iodine or betadine solution to disinfect, dabbed that off, then cut a strip of paper towel to fit over the rip. Then super glue that on, wait for it to dry, then I’d smooth it out with acetone.

I kept the bandage protected with a bicycle glove through the next month, while I managed to continue my tech job doing hardware repairs on computers, tablets and phones.

The rip itself was more or less surprisingly straight and clean, thankfully. The rip came from a large sharp wood splinter from a dryrotted broken broomstick.

Every 2 to 3 days, I’d make sure to peel all that off and inspect. Each time I’d have to peel super glue out of the wound with tweezers (yes I should try to fit some tweezers in the kit), wash, rinse and repeat as stated above. It healed up so perfectly that I can barely even see the scar myself.

👍

Oof, I just realized our full size kit that I got most of the items from didn’t even come with a thermal blanket.

Agreed ☹️

As the dumbfuck that actually did that, I almost wholeheartedly agree, such measures should only be temporary at most, until they get to the hospital.

At least I dropped the disclaimer, I’m no doctor, I’m just a knucklehead, one that’s had pain level 13 on the 10 scale before, so super glue drying in my wound didn’t even bother me.

Hey, even as temporary use, at least super glue might help keep the patient from leaking out…
