These are for a small amount of cremains. My family has a few of these, to have a small amount of the deceased. The main urn is significantly larger and is with the widow.
My mom and aunts split my grandmother’s ashes evenly in 3 identical urns. We also used incredibly tiny amounts in urn jewelry (jewelry with a small chamber).
My 2 sisters and I each have one of these small urns of our grandmother’s ashes. Our mother has the large urn. Doesn’t necessarily make it common, just volunteering that I have one.
Some jokes are so far-fetched that even if they make you think an arguably funny thought, you can’t believe that that’s the intended punchline because nobody should seriously expect anyone to get it. This is one of those.
When the senate is 50/50 they come to compromise favoring the party who has the white house/vp/tie breaking vote.
When the house is effectively 50/50 they apparently shut the government down for weeks on end.
The country voted 49/47 for Democrats so we will all held hostage while the minority figures out who their leader is? Even if their new leader was so great bills would have to pass the Senate (where the minority generally thinks they are too extreme) and the white house where again the opposition controls that part of the government.
It’s not even lying, you’re a member of your family. Technically it’s a truthful answer and if they assume something that they don’t want to pursue further, that’s on them.
Oh hey, fam! Yeah nah, fuck ED. If I were in ED, I’d be in an N95 for the rest of existence cause people are gross lol. I work cardiac stepdown like a spoiled biotch.
I used to work up on an ortho/neuro floor and then they changed it to some kind of nursing home type situation, I said fuck that and got myself down to the ED. I fucking love it. People are gross, but at least it’s never boring
That said, when it comes to advertisements, I hate them passionately, and will often note the brand in the advert so I can avoid it.
I don’t know how people can function while there’s a flashy animated thing to one side of their screen, I literally cannot read the main content until that is gone or covered up. It muddled my brain until it’s gone.
Heck, even an overly busy and colourful web page due to a bunch of static ads is very oppressive and difficult to deal with. An untidy website gives me an untidy mind, basically.
I just don’t get how people wade through this crap and get anything done. I’ve blocked ads for decades now, and I’m never going back.
Whenever I use a computer without an ad blocker, I’m literally holding out my hand on the screen to block the ad so it doesn’t distract me. ADHD+ND is a bitch.

I’ve been getting a letter from State Farm Insurance every week (sometimes multiple per week… sometimes multiple per day) for over almost 20 years. I’ve moved 15 times and they still follow me. All this has done is guarantee I will never sign up for their shitty insurance. I’ve been thinking about calling them just to try and get the letters to stop. I had to do this with XM… it worked, until I got a new car and another free 3 months. Now I guess I need to call and yell at them again.
But mentally deranged trash. So not everyone will see it as such. Which is weird, but humans are better at not believing regular trash than they are at not believing mind bogglingly stupid trash...
Maybe I misunderstand, but just to clarify: I assume he didn’t mean “satire” created by PragerU but as in satire created by e.g. the onion. So to see if the post was real (or fake/satire) he’d have to visit their insta which he didn’t want.
You know how every politcal poll has a few percent of responses that don’t make any sense? Like a person who identifies as atheist, but also says the church should play a greater role in government?
Sometimes, random downvotes are like that. Don’t get too worked up about it.
I think people care about different things, networking might not be something they’re interested in so aren’t interested in spending time learning about it. Where as when you are interested in it it’s not so hard to read, watch videos about it and experiment with it. At least that’s generally how I find these things work.
But when your electricity goes out, do you even consider whether it’s the power plant, substation, distribution station, or individual service drop that is the problem? Probably not. But I’m sure many power line technicians see the phrase “my power’s out” in the same way tech-savvy people see the phrase “my wifi’s out”.
I consider those if only cause it may give me an idea of when power will come back on. Ill even drive around to see how much is out or if i can find repair crews.
I’m sure you driving around to find a random power truck and asking them to fix your power faster is much appreciated by the people fixing it… I’m sure they don’t make fun of you or threaten you in anyway after you drive off while they have to be out in the weather doing their job.
I said looking for repair crews said nothing about bugging them, that was your jump in logic. If I know powers down in my block then if I see a repair crew about a block away I can assume power will be on in about an hour or so. Plus I usually am grabbing food at the same time.
Soooo, ya do exactly what I said in last comment… there is a number to call for power outages. They guys in the truck are on call to a problem, you are just annoying them.
How is me driving by while going to get food bugging them? They dont even have to close a lane 70 percent of the time, and when they do its cause someone wrapped their truck around a post.
To quote you “Ill even drive around to see how much is out or if i can find repair crews.”… so now you are saying you drive around to find a repair crew but just to look at them real good before getting McDonald’s… even if that’s the case they still hate you but you certainly are one of those people who stop them and ask about “your” power.
Dude theres like 2 fucking streets where the lines could be out, both towards food. But youve built this whole fucking idea avout me, I aint driving around like some jackass harassin random ass workers. If the powers out for my block its either for regular maintenance or a bob cat backed up into a pole again. I know when its for regular maintence cause the power company sends out a notice ahead of time.
Loom dude im just gonna drop this, your being a cunt and it aint getting nowhere.
A very large portion of people who use electricity everyday have never given a single thought to where their power comes from. They are the same folks who feel like they are superior plugging in their Tesla and knowing they are making a difference… while the coal plant drops another traincar to charge it up.
The people who bitch the loudest are always the ones who have absolutely no clue how things actually work and that every single decision is give/take. And if you try to explain you are (insert ism/ist). Tards gonna tard. Way she goes, fuckin way she goes.
How much of that is in your control to diagnose, let alone fix? If the neighbours are out too, that means it’s already out of your hands.
When it comes to “the internet is down”, much of the time it is something within your control, whether or not you know that. It’s not a very good analogy imo.

This really isn’t true anymore. Most people use all-in-one modem+router+AP. I’d guess that unless you’re one to tinker with your router, there’s a much better chance you’ve tripped a breaker or GFCI than there is that you’ve somehow broken your home wifi.
Them: “The WiFi is down.”
Me: ‘… No, I still see the TV & the laptop & Pi, on the network.’
Them: “I can’t connect to Flipboard.”
Me: ‘Ohhh, the internet is down. It’s probably at the cable modem. Wait a moment for it to failover to wireless, then try again.’
Them: “Yep, now the WiFi is back.”
Most consumer devices these days, if they detect the internet is down over a wifi connection (e.g. by inability to reach 1.1.1.1), will automatically disconnect from that wifi network, or at least show the same UI as if it had.
Pedantic but correct. Only your connection to the internet is down.
Even when there are massive “internet outages” sometimes it’s just DNS being bad. The internet works just fine, it’s just not working in a way that you can make use of it.
I used to work for spectrum. I’d say around 60% of people legit do not know the difference between wifi and Internet. No wifi means no Internet, to them. Makes some trouble shooting harder
