I’m an orderly in an OR that does organ procurements from donors. The patients are already brain dead or otherwise intubated, but still technically alive. When the doctors open them up and get to where the organs are, there is a brief moment of silence and a prewritten letter in their honor is read aloud. After that they are taken off of life support and the organs are ready to be taken. The most interesting part to me is watching the color fade from their intestines. It’s actually very fast from pink to gray.

DrSteveBrule ,

The hospital I work is not a trauma hospital, so those types of patients dont come to us, but as far as I understand patients must be alive. Organs become unusable fast.

Maybe you can use a calender app and set a weekly reminder that goes forever. If you want to add or remove items from it, all future reminders can be edited as well

I’m glad it’s going easy for you. Unfortunately after 3 hours of trying I still haven’t gotten mint cinnamon installed yet. Bitlocker has been a pain to disable. I’m determined to get it working though, I’m really tired of microsoft

Who wants to pay premium for prices?

It’s from the movie Monster House

I’ve been on sites that track how many articles I’ve read and wait to hit me with the pay wall after some amount

DrSteveBrule ,

Idk what you mean by mobile elements aren’t being loaded. Does the title of the article not count? I can see it behind the paywall banner

Greater Idaho movement: 13 counties in eastern Oregon have voted to secede and join Idaho (ktvz.com)

On Tuesday, voters in Crook County passed measure 7-86, which asked voters if they support negotiations to move the Oregon/Idaho border to include Crook County in Idaho. The measure is passing with 53% of the vote, and makes Crook County the 13th county in eastern Oregon to pass a Greater Idaho measure.

DrSteveBrule ,

I don’t understand what the country is in your analogy

DrSteveBrule ,

It’s like how all the characters in Idiocracy are named after brands

DrSteveBrule ,

Even if only 20% of songs made are worth listening to, artists don’t release every song they make

DrSteveBrule ,

I went to a Cracker Barrel a few years ago and they has a sign that read “Proudly serving people of color since 1973” or whatever year it had. Weird brag

DrSteveBrule ,

I can’t use Yandex as it just makes me complete endless capchas

DrSteveBrule ,

How can you see them on that map if they are using VPNs?

DrSteveBrule ,

If you’re losing money with your properties, why not just sell them to your tenants for an affordable price?

DrSteveBrule ,

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. The people in this thread do think problems like this should be prevented and resolved. What exactly are you arguing?

DrSteveBrule ,

I love Terry Gilliam’s movies. I always try to recommend Zero Theorem to people who haven’t watched it

DrSteveBrule ,

I think that has to do with legalization. At least where I live (still illegal recreationally), the street price of weed started to go up until Colorado and Washington legalized it 10 years ago. Then it dropped a lot, now it’s the same price as it was back then.

DrSteveBrule ,

There is also FLOTUS (First Lady of the United States), or if you were me hearing that for the first time, you thought it was a shortened name for Flying Lotus.

My big issue with paying for an ad free experience is that there are ads on videos of stolen content, and that doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon. I have this issue with SoundCloud as well. Random people will upload mixtapes of other artists that were originally released for free, but SoundCloud will run ads over it. It’s obvious the creators aren’t getting paid. I don’t understand how that’s even legal. Even if you argue that the service of using the website shouldn’t be completely free, they are profiting off of stolen content.

DrSteveBrule ,

👌

When I was in high school, my 11th grade biology teacher was let go after 1 week because he didn’t have a teaching license

DrSteveBrule ,

TIL Liquid Death is water lol. I always assumed it was one of those coffee/energy drink hybrids from the name and price.

DrSteveBrule ,

What is top right from?

DrSteveBrule ,

Its very similar to ark survival and the open world Conan game. There’s love you can find in hidden diaries and there are goals that involve upgrading your base and killing bosses. What makes it stand out to the others is that it is basically Pokémon. If you’re into the previously mentioned games, I think it’s great

DrSteveBrule ,

It’s definitely not 100% foolproof to misinformation, but I’ve always found wikipedia to be reliable. Why do you feel it isnt?

DrSteveBrule ,

Info on Wikipedia shouldn’t be taken at face value, check the sources given! A lot of the examples you gave likely didn’t have any citation. The blame for misinformation partly lies with the people accepting information with no sources given. Also, any example of known misinformation just means that it has been caught and corrected. Everyone should know wikipedia is not right 100% of the time but it is always getting better. There millions of articles and I don’t think the examples you listed should lead anyone to believe it is overall unreliable. It is good however to not blindly put your trust in whatever you read from it, and if you do come across something that isn’t correct, you have the opportunity to fix it.

DrSteveBrule ,

Yes I agree with that. I think there was an issue with establishing what “source” meant in the given context. I wouldn’t say the text of a single wikipedia article is a reliable source by itself, however that doesn’t discredit the reliability of accurate information on Wikipedia in my opinion. If you stripped a textbook of it’s listed citations and credited authors, then you can’t really verify the information in it either.

DrSteveBrule ,

I don’t use TikTok but wasn’t it heavily criticized for censoring pro-Hong Kong content?

DrSteveBrule ,

I bought all his Discworld books a while ago on humble bundle but have been too busy to start reading any of them yet. What made you decide to start with that one?

DrSteveBrule ,

I agree he should receive a higher compensation, but have no idea what that should be. I can’t look at it in terms of dollars per hour and think of an appropriate amount worth giving up 40 years of life. If I was in that position I don’t think 1billion would be fair.

DrSteveBrule ,

For a lot of people, buying a watch IS buying jewelry. However, I do agree with the rest of your comment.

Over 50 per cent of users may shun social media by 2025 as misinformation, toxicity grow (www.newindianexpress.com)

Over 50 per cent of users may shun social media by 2025 as misinformation, toxicity grow::A Gartner survey found that 53 per cent of consumers believe the current state of social media has decayed compared to either the prior year or five years ago.

DrSteveBrule ,

That’s like saying Twitter isn’t social media because its a microblog. Lemmy is definitely social media. We have profiles, can add each other as friends, send private messages, etc. It’s not structured the same as most other social media websites, but it is social media

My grandfather died with a bullet in his foot that had been there for about 40 years. He was cremated and there was nothing left of the bullet.

DrSteveBrule ,

There’s an episode of Nathan For You where he tries to test if a pizza oven will cremate a body but he gave up after a few hours lol

DrSteveBrule ,

That’s what we thought, but when we asked to keep the bullet we were told it was reduced to ash with everything else.

I used it for years and just recently switched to Firefox. I was just comfortable using it, and knew how to use the dev tools. I had my extensions set up how I liked. I’m still missing a few things on Firefox but fuck chrome.

DrSteveBrule ,

I had an extension called Toby that opened a new tab and had an awesome page to organize bookmarks and open tabs. I can’t remember what I’m using on Firefox right now as I’m not at the computer, but it’s probably the most popular bookmark organizer. IMO Toby is just way ahead of anything I’ve found on Firefox.

DrSteveBrule ,

If you find anything similar to the Toby extension please let me know. I haven’t been able to find anything close on Firefox.

DrSteveBrule ,

I’ll have to look into it, but that would be awesome!

DrSteveBrule ,

I think there are some good reasons for servers restricting content. programming.dev is one of the biggest examples of this by not allowing users to create communities, however if you wish to moderate a community or ask for someone else to moderate one, and it falls within the interests of the server, there is a good chance it will be created. It might be obvious with that server, but it is almost all content relating to software development. It doesn’t really make sense to create a community of cooking recipes there, especially since several others exist within other servers. The biggest advantage to this in my opinion is that there aren’t dozens of empty communities. If you look at some of the bigger servers that allow users to create their own, there are tons of communities with 0 posts. I think its good that some servers out there allow users to create any community, but it makes sense for many servers to not.

DrSteveBrule ,

I believe the name has now changed to Voyager, which might make it easier to search for.

DrSteveBrule ,

I wasn’t trying to create an argument, just pointing out not all of those instances are bad. No I didn’t assume that was all of what you meant. To me, it seemed like you didn’t understand the goal of instances like programming.dev. I try to keep in mind that many people are still brand new to Lemmy and wanted to offer counterpoints to your original comment. I wasn’t trying to nitpick your comment, sorry if you got the wrong idea.
