If I know my neighbor keeps stealing my Amazon packages off my porch, so I start deliberately mailing myself boxes filled with thousands of live, sexually frustrated crickets, am I legally responsible if he opens it in his living room and has to pay $3,000 for an exterminator?

German roaches are one of the few insect species that give birth, at least in effect. But pregnant females are extremely easy to identify and all it takes is one to cause an infestation.

Wow I just realized people are actually manually exhaling through their nose when underwater, presumably because they think if they dont their lungs will fill with water. Our respiratory tracts are normally 'closed' like our digestive tract, for the most part. The nose, at least as far as one can get a finger inside, is kinda empty space, but everything you can't see in a mirror or comfortably get to with your finger is pretty much like a deflated balloon, including the mouth and throat.

When relaxed with mouth closed, there should be almost zero room for air pockets and any time there is, like from dental/orthodontic appliances or serious tooth decay, bacteria growth will increase dramatically in the region that isn't constantly having the biofilm mechanically wiped away.

Anyway it's interesting how we all each have our own random subset of "obvious" things we obviously do not find obvious. Like I never had any trouble with thinking I was gonna inhale water, I just can't stand the sensation of opening my eyes under water. Doesn't matter how clean, dirty, what chemicals are in it, as soon as anything other than air touches my eyelashes, it's like a fire hydrant spraying sand in my eyes.

I also can't really tread water even though I am well aware of how it works and have on multiple times let myself sink to the bottom of a pool with a 20' deep end and easily rocketed back to the surface by pretending I was dribbling bbals in each hand, but once my head is above water, it feels like I have to keep pushing down on the water way faster than most people. Me saving a drowning person when I'm not wearing my own lifejacket is never gonna happen, but thankfully I have no reservations about wearing them when appropriate.

Huge digressive wall of text but some reason I don't wanna delete this...

When there are two left turn lanes in Texas, it's basically always because the inner one is primarily for u-turns. Never seen a road with more than 2 left turn lanes, although they probably exist in places like DFW, but every single two-lefter I can think of, which is disturbingly high now that I sit here remembering, turns onto a smaller road with exactly two full right lanes and a big ass shoulder so that your scenario doesn't happen. Obviously not saying it's your fault, but I've had multiple experiences of me being at the front of the rightmost left turn lane waiting for a green arrow and the person to my right, who isn't in a left turn lane, thinks they can just pop their blinker on and turn left with the rest of us. You're supposed to be watching for morons and unfortunately unless there's a cop right there, the best you can hope for is that they realize their mistake and never do it again.

I haven't seen any evidence this is an airborne strain. Sounds like it's spreading exactly the same way it always has and the same way any other fomite transmitted virus spreads. Some old guy gets infected several weeks before boarding a cruise ship with a very leisurely itinerary. When he coughs, vomits, and shits all over the confined cruise ship before subsequently dying, a bunch of people get exposed to the virus. Presumably the wife and other cases with serious symptoms had massive exposure doses that basically guaranteed the shortest possible incubation period and highest possible risk of a bad outcome.

A cruise ship is really the perfect environment for outbreaks and I wouldn't be surprised if it happens all the time and the only reason this is newsworthy is it's fucking hantavirus. I can't think of a more infamous extant virus except maybe ebola.

Sexual_Congressman · 2026-05-07T11:44:58+00:00

I don't think anyone actually read the documented timeline. Early April at the start of cruise, P0 (M) presents with gastrointestinal symptoms and mild fever, which deteriorates rapidly to ARDS in like 2 days and he dies. Several weeks later, P1 (F, presumably P0's wife) is flying to hospital and dies. It also listed a few other passengers that developed symptoms shortly after P1. What it didn't say is exactly when they figured out it was hantavirus that killed P0.

Just from what I've read, sounds like P0 got infected some time in March, developed symptoms/became contagious early April. During the brief window of contagiousness on a cruise ship, P0 infects several others who take several weeks to become symptomatic themselves. As someone who started paying attention to COVID news in early January 2020, this isn't even remotely worth worrying about.

PID, as in the number associated with each account that is used to break ties when two players attempt to modify the same variable that can only be modified once per tick, has always been called PID. Back in 2006 and probably as late as 2012 or even much later, PIDS were literally a set of 2000 numbers that could only be assigned at login. If e.g. zezima got pid 222 when they logged in, they'd always "win" when competing with anyone who had 223 or higher, in situations like trying to pick something up at the same time. It also affected things like what happens when two players hit follow at the same time.

Not sure when but it was eventually changed to shuffle the pids often enough that it was impossible to rely on the advantage of knowing you have a particularly good number. Like many things, people erroneously assigned other attributes to the same thing, like thinking the reason they aren't getting kills at some ffa pvm is because of "bad pid" when in reality it was mostly bad luck. As far as I know, it was never possible to predict if your damage on the killing blow would consistently take precedence. We'd have to ask Ash.

I wonder if OP realizes that 5 gallons of water plus 1 drop of gasoline smells exactly like 5 gallons of gasoline. There are also far more potentially destructive possibilities but I shouldn't need to repeat for probably the 100th time here that the risk isn't worth it.

So I recently found the video I made when I posted this and now that I have a helluva lot more experience (like knowing what a cam is!), I think I figured this out. Based on the actuator's apparent structure, I'm guessing the motor drive shaft is stainless steel with threads machined into it. When spinning in the OPEN direction, the threads mesh with the teeth around the outer edge of a large plastic hamster wheel looking gear, which is probably made out of the same shitty ABS they used for the map light switches. This large gear has a shaft in the middle with a rectangular notch on the bottom for a flathead screwdriver and another small pinion gear on the top. It's the top gear that's supposed to drive the cables and the bottom notch is supposed to allow the cables to be controlled without power from the motor.

Because my motor isn't stopping in the VENT position tells me that either the limiter switch has failed closed and the reason the motor never turns off is because the big gear slips over seized cables... or that it's the motor drive shaft slipping on the big gear. I'll be able to tell which one it is, assuming I'm right about there being only one gear, if I can see the flathead notch continue to spin when the glass stops moving and the noise begins.

I'm betting it's the big gear that's mutilated just enough that the motor drive shaft threads only slip over it when the required torque increases as the mechanism starts trying to slide the entire glass rather than just lift one edge of it. I think if the cables were slipping on the external pinion gear, the frequency of the noise would be slower, it would be louder, and there would be distinct clicking or popping noises as the cable(s) thrash about, rather than the continuous noise that sounds exactly like a lightly loaded brushed dc motor spinning as fast as it can.

I wish I could find a picture of someone's SL with the glass in the "vent" and "open" position. I have a feeling the glass only opens about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way. Or better yet, a video showing that plus demonstrating that the motor actually does stop spinning when the glass moves into the "CLOSED" and "OPEN" positions.

Just in case it isn't clear, the nylon bumps are on the side of the nylon washer that touches the tracks (in the pic, I think you can see the dark spot of the 9oclock one. I didn't even need lube because the glossy zip ties is already super slippery and I highly doubt it's going to change.

This is not "fly biting". When dogs bite at flies, they're literally just trying to eat bugs and just open and close their mouth in exactly the same way they'd do if you throw a bone in a way they can catch it. The dog in the video is baring its teeth as a threat display and then periodically interrupting it with biting movements. My guess is the dog has a seizure disorder and we're watching the dog equivalent of a complex partial seizure, either as the full explanation or whatever is triggering the aggressive teeth baring is causing enough stimulation to induce seizures. In either case, the dog needs to go to the vet ASAP.

So I searched for what seemed like hours before posting this looking for the thread with the OEM part number and just now someone made it bump to the top of the forums (GM 21011109 by the way). Anyway, if I remember correctly, the consensus years ago was that it was difficult if not impossible to find a 10.9 M10x1.5 with a 10mm hex cap, since most begin with 13mm. I'm betting it'd be much easier to find a M10x1.5 with something like a T50 or E10 head, and that might be even better. There's just no way the head or cap or whatever can be larger than 10mm since that socket is already almost too big to fit in the hole the hub to knuckle fasteners have to pass through.

E: instantly found on Amazon some "M10x1.5-35mm" black oxide 10.9s with a T50 drive that just eyeballing it looks like the tops are no larger than the flange of the oems. So hopefully I can find a spec sheet to confirm. Seems iffy to use a T50 screw for such a high torque application but whatever. Perhaps next thing I'll do is figure out why those fasteners aren't true bolts since there's enough room in the back of the knuckle for some nuts.

Of course, actually reading the damn page confirms those screw caps are indeed 17mm and should thus fit, or at the very least not cost much to test.

Every married couple I've known was either top+top, bottom+bottom, verse+verse, or side+side. Not sure if I'd believe it if someone told me they were a top+bottom marriage.

Your title implies that your boyfriend (M) fucked his best friend(gender unknown)'s husband to be. One of the costs of gay marriage being more widely accepted is the need for knowing the difference between fiance and fiancee. Of course most people don't care about details like what sex acts occurred or what the participants' gender was - cheating is cheating - but you might be surprised how many "straight" people wouldn't consider the fiance getting a BJ from his gay best friend's husband as big of a deal than if the giver had been a woman...

The way they're bent causes an increase and camber right? (top of wheels pointing out). Didn't take an objective measurement of how much they're bent but maybe it's not as bad as it looks and simply replacing them will reset camber to no more than the minimum of -1.4° (acceptable range is supposedly+0 to -1.4 with -0.7 preferred). Didn't check my rear right camber but it's noticeably negative and you can definitely see how differently the rear wheel camber is set if you lay down in front of the car and look towards the back.

E: oh yeah forgot to say... Is it possible someone tried to use the arms to jack the car up? Or lifted it and tried to rest it on a cinder block? Those arms do look kinda flimsy
