Wait, how do you get a home loan where you don’t pay on the principal? That’s not even a loan at that point; that’s just renting except you also have to pay for maintenance.
When I worked IT, our honeywell rep used to swing by at random and bring the entire building doughnuts. And I’m not talking gas station doughnuts, I’m talking doughnuts from the best bakery in the state (which happened to be local). Perhaps, not surprisingly we used a lot of honeywell stuff. It isn’t hard to bribe IT guys.
Honestly, their comercial ones are getting that way too. Like who the hell needs a touchscreen on an industrial thermal printer; thats just one more thing to easily break in an industrial environment. And god forbid you want a replacement touch screen because a new one is half the cost of a new printer.
That’s the thing with keto though. Being in ketosis doesn’t make you lose weight on it’s own. It just makes it way easier to eat less because you don’t spend all day feeling hungry.
What if you work them to death nonphysically. Just mental death via mindnumbing drugery. Have them do something like data entry. Then their organs will still be good and as a bonus they will be begging to have them removed.

Fun fact, those refrigerents can be (and are required to be) reclaimed and sold to recyclers. Old refrigerants that can no longer be legaly produced are actually worth an absurd amount of money when reclaimed because they can still be used but because they can’t legally be manufactured or imported the only source for them is stuff reclaimed out of other systems. Companies will pay absurd amounts of money to not have to refit their refrigeration systems to work with new refrigerants.
So if you have an old appliance still full of something like R-12 or R-22 then you have a gold mine to someone with the right equipment and certifications.
When people talk about “christians” they always fail to realize that there are hundreds of different denominations. Some are going to be psycho snake swingers or ultra regressive loons. Others are just regular people who believe in god. People always focus on the crazies because the crazies are the ones standing around screeching.
But there are plenty of denominations that are left leaning as fuck because, guess what, Jesus as described in the bible was a socialist hippy who hung out with sex workers, leppers, and other social outcasts. For example the church I always went to was pro same sex marriage as far back as 2005, so long before it was legal in most states (I just don’t remember it comming up before that).
So some ultra regressives (like the person who made those comics) are anti-education because they’re against anything that doesn’t promote their worldview. But I’d say the vast majority of christians aren’t like that at all.
I (20m) am 6’5" tall. One of my female friends who’s 5’5" told me that my height makes my belly particularly vulnerable in case if I get attacked with a pocket knife, for example. Why is it so?
I’ve never really wanted to be in the private jet billionare club but I have always wanted to be in the “have a nice paid off house and enough money to safely start a small business” club. Sure, being a billionare would get me that but what would I do with the other 99.999% of the money?
Weeds have punctured through the vacant parking lot of Martin General Hospital’s emergency room. A makeshift blue tarp covering the hospital’s sign is worn down from flapping in the wind. The hospital doors are locked, many in this county of 22,000 fear permanently....
I can’t give you a peer reviewed source or anything but most of my family works in medicine including a couple of travel nurses who have worked in basically every department at one point or another at a variety of hospitals around the country.
Emergent care just means things like emergency rooms, urgent care, and clinic visits. It is a term used to describe the hospital departments that cover visits for new “emergent” conditions. Unless you’ve worked in a hospital you probably wouldn’t have heard that term but it does get used often behind the scenes.
Those departments tend to be money sinks for hospitals for several reasons. Firstly, because they need to remain staffed all the time, rather than being able to schedule staffing around scheduled appointments. Secondly, the cases seen there are usually less profitable for the hospital; treating little Timmys strep throat makes them far less money than Franks orthopedic surgery. Finally, people are just far less likely to pay when visiting those departments. If you don’t have insurance then your only real option for medical treatment is to go to the ER and just ignore the bill because the hospital legally has to treat you regardless of whether you can pay or not and collecting on medical debt is far more tricky than it is with other debts.
The best nomative determinism I’ve ever personally seen is a guy I knew named John Data who worked at IBM back in the day. Can you imagine calling someone out to work on your compoter system and the guy who shows up is literally called Mr. Data.
It’s not a HIPPA violation if you’re a minor and the information is being released to your parents. In fact, I’m pretty sure they’re required to disclose any and all information to your parents unpon request. Minors have no rights to privacy against their parents at least in the US.
You joke but that kind of used to he a thing. People used to get their teeth pulled and get dentures just because it was assumed their teeth would rot out at some point anyways.
They eat anything that is smaller than they are legs included. They’ll eat anything from bed bugs to spiders. I even saw one chewing of a wasp at one point.
I have a laser level that I’d like to use for lining up pictures on my wall. I’m doing this by myself otherwise I just have someone else hold it. It has a couple holes in it that look like maybe you could use screws or nails and I’d rather not have to put holes in the wall to do this. Any suggestions?
And your friend would have killed you. A drowning person isn’t thinking rationally. They will grab you and hold you under the water with all of their adrenaline fueled strength to try to stay above the water. If someone is drowning you never get in the water with them unless you are specifically trained for that and even then it is a last resort. Drowning is one of those situations where if you just run in and try to help without thinking then the ambulance just winds up hauling away two corpses.
What you should be doing is finding anything that floats and throwing it to them or finding something long that they can grab onto so you can pull them to shore. For example tie a couple towels together to make a rope or dump out a cooler and throw it in for them to grab.
They last even longer if the water is cold. In the winter people have been brought back after spending several hours dead under the ice after falling through and drowning. I think the record for someone who made a full recovery is 17 hours.
There’s a saying in EMS, “They’re not dead until they’re warm and dead.”
Some are picky but even those you can almost always train them to eat pre killed. Usually the most you need to do is just warm the rat up and wiggle it with a tongs. Snakes are pretty dumb so that’s enough for it to look alive to them. It’s a whole lot more convient to have a freezer full or rats than to keep live rats. Not to mention live prey can be dangerous to the snake; it usually isn’t but before I finally got my snake to start eating prekilled one of the live rats I fed her gave her a scratch on her eye cap.
