Fun fact - a sip or two of pickle juice is a great cure for heartburn. I don’t even like pickles, but I’ll do it because it works.
I can’t stand olives, even more than I dislike pickles, so idk if olive juice would do the same, but it is, at least, not grosser from an objective view 😅
Drinking pickle juice is a dangerous game. Misjudge your jar tilt and one of those slippery bois will just shoot down your gullet and shuffle you off this mortal coil in the blink of a cucumber.
Years ago I saw a show where a teacher gave a slow learner a business card sized piece of paper with a small rectangle cut out of the center. Instead of having to look at an entire page of print at once, the card let the student cut it down to one word at a time so they wouldn’t feel so intimidated.
Whenever I start to read a quote from Trump I want that little card, so I’m not overwhelmed by his sheer intelligence.
If you happen to see your post response here later on as a reply to a non-related post, but the idea is the same, it was me. This is one of the greatest replies I have seen on Lemmy and probably Reddit back in the day. It tells so much in so little and I identify with it.
I never knew how to express how intellectually insecure I feel listening to Trump speak and reading text of what he says. No I know what to do. Thank you, friend!
I hadn’t actually heard of any abuse allegations either. I also don’t keep up with celebrity stuff anymore. I just knew that if a fruitcake saw him, it would turn to another fruitcake and say “that guy is nutty”
Abusive, yes, but as far as I’m aware not violent. Still fits (calling 911 as per the post), but not for physical abuse.
He has been known to publicly harass and threaten (it’s why he was barred from the Grammy awards), he’s been sued by employees for harassment, intimidation, retaliation,and discrimination, and even failure to pay his employees, and he’s also being sued by his former personal* assistant for sexual harassment, including him masturbating in front of her.
Kanye is 100% an abusive PoS. Just not, as of now, physically abusive afaik.
The autograph one was an “autograph dealer” that was repeatedly getting autographs to sell. He had been following Kanye around, popping up at restaurants, etc… Not saying it was right, just giving some context.
They’re referring to when someone experiencing domestic abuse calls 999 and pretends to order a pizza, when really that’s a signal to the police that they need help.
They don’t command them, but they call them in like you call the police.
Fun fact: From time to time, a pilot forgets to change frequency when entering a new area. This means the plane looks like it is not communicating. This is the most common reason why jets are sent to intercept an airliner. Of course, I would pay to see a recording of the pilots as they see the jet in front of them and realize they messed up.
I think switching to a frequency that a different region uses could be dangerous, since then the airplanes near do border would receive the signal but the airport wouldn’t. This could lead to misscommunications.
PPS: They do try the emergency frequency, routing a message through the previous area controller as well as anything else they can think of first. I left it out for brevity. Of course, fighter jets are not the first choice.
Sure it will work forever, but it also never really worked right in the first place. Those are definitely the fridges where one section freezes and other areas are almost room temp
People also have survivorship bias with these things. Sure your refrigerator might have lasted forever but quite a few others did not. There is a reason why appliance repair places existed and were much more common than today.
That’s to increase perceived obsolescence, where it still works okay but the bells and whistles broke. Also why they put pretty colorful thread on fancy truck seats. Your ass wears it off and makes an $80k truck look ratty.
Exactly this!! The function of appliances hasn’t changed hardly at all since their inception: washers wash, dryers dry, refrigerators cool, ovens/stoves heat. No “smart” capabilities necessary, or at least nothing that simple mechanical controls and switches couldn’t handle.
Plus they’re cheaper, relative to repair professionals’ labor.
If a new refrigerator costs the same as 100 hours of skilled labor, then a 10 hour repair job (plus parts that cost the same as 1/10 of a refrigerator) will be economically feasible.
But if a new fridge costs the same as 20 hours of skilled labor, and the more complex parts come in more expensive assemblies, then there’s gonna be more jobs don’t pass a cost benefit threshold. As a category, refrigerator repair becomes unfeasible, and then nobody gets skilled in that field.
While that is true, items are purposely made unrepairable now. You don’t have right to repair movements because John Deere and Apple devices are so much more complex to repair for common failure points. You have those movements emerging because companies make it extremely difficult in the name of profit or style. With equally skilled (and due to the internet more informed) and capable repair personnel not being able to even partake in the process.
Meanwhile, here in Sweden, when I get a perscription, my doctor types on his computer for five min, I then walk to any pharmacy, hand them my ID, of they have it they will offer a cheaper alternative, if they don’t have any of the medicine, they will tell me which pharmacy does, if none has it they will order it for me.
Works for a couple of years in Poland. You give them your personal identity number and a 4 digit number you get from a doctor (or you can go to a government website and get it from your perscriptions directly) and you get your perscription. We also have websites dedicated to finding medication, available to everyone. You can even sometimes reserve it online.
Oh it’s a problem here to. You do not want to know how much information is passed on through rapidly scrawled sticky notes in our healthcare system - particularly in emergency situations.
