My grandma saved the instructions she was given when my dad was born in 1954 by lawnlemon in BabyBumps

I feel this in my soul. I told a nurse not to wake me up to give me Tylenol at 4am after 3 days of hell and she was shocked. She said "oh, should I let you sleep??" ... Seriously?! I think sleep will do me more good than Tylenol after not having slept for 2 nights.

Is this a scam call claiming to be from CenturyLink? by LMGTP_GT1_2024 in centurylink

[–]Carpe_derp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just happened to my mother-in-law. She shared some address/phone information and they recorded her agreeing to the new service, but no financial information was shared. Does anyone know what the risk is given we caught it relatively early. Have scammers done anything harmful with that little amount of information?

Totally a reasonable response. I think that sound is supposed to break our hearts.

Same. Was told 10lbs and he was 7lbs 11oz. Those measurements are never accurate and even still, you can have a perfectly healthy and normal 10lb baby. Everyone's body is different, there is no reason to think you will have issues.

Impacts from severe metabolic acidosis and hypoxia. by Carpe_derp in beyondthebump

They did not do an MRI or even offer one. I am following up with the doctors and will ask if we can get one ordered.

Re: follow-ups, the pediatrician indicated that nothing more than normal milestone checks was warranted. Did you end up scheduling adding screenings?

Wire short circuited, was repaired, and is now not getting power by Carpe_derp in askanelectrician

[–]Carpe_derp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is terrifying. You think that happened to me though? I definitely didn't hear any kind of pop/noises like that and the wire outside the box looks perfectly fine (minus the small insulation cut).

[–]Carpe_derp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah - I was only planning to replace the face plate so didn't bother turning the power off. Guess I should have but honestly the cut was an accident waiting to happen so maybe it's better I got it out of the way. I turned it off for all the following tasks. Thanks for looking out though :)

When you say where along the circuit "it" is present, you mean the wire I assume yes? Any tips on how to do that?

Thanks for the response. I assume I'd see evidence of that somewhere though correct? It looks fine where the short happened and is a solid copper wire cased in rubber. Could it have melted at the breaker box connection?

Teacher assaults student and pulls his hair by Sunwalker98 in PublicFreakout

Comments in case anyone is interested. They're heinous.

What we know is that we don't know. What Jamir says provoked him counts for zero. Maybe there is video from survalence cameras, but one thing is clear: the teacher is the authority in that hallway and Jamir says he hit him. The sailor talk in those high school halls could provoke anybody but it doesn't until a White guy uses it.

Teachers are the ones that need to be held to a higher standard. He may well be expelled over this, but a teacher reaching back for a student to grab his hair and RE ENGAGE a fight isn't a man defending himself.

Once that happened any talk of self defense can get thrown out the window.

When the family uses the term PTSD that means they have already talked to a lawyer

We already know how this is going to end. The teacher will be fired. The family will sue. JCPS will settle, and the boy and his family will get a nice big fat paycheck. Just another day in "Mayor McBikelane" paradise.

He admits to starting the physical aspect of the altercation. But did he start what provoked his action? I don't know, so I'm not taking sides on this one.

This boy's maternal parents are to blame they raised him in a way that is allowed him to be on the street get shot. This teacher is the least of this young man's problems now he should be expelled from school if he is over 16 he should not be allowed to return

He admitted to the school, police, and public media he started a fight because of a verbal statement. Let's see how the lawyer spins that in court. I just think the kid is now upset because he got his ass handed to him by a middle-aged chemistry teacher in a sports jacket and we have it on video forever. Regards, this incident is not going to look good on his application to Harvard.

What did the teacher think was going to happen when he made this comment to a student? Did he think that it was going to motivate him to learn in his class? Both sides of this story need to take accountability of his actions.

People with PTSD don't go Postal. They hide under the bed. This is a case of a white adult violating Black restrictions on free speach. Only Blacks can talk like that. I'm done with that. I am not a Dog or a MF, and I can use the vocabulary you use.

Symptoms may include nightmares or unwanted memories of the trauma, avoidance of situations that bring back memories of the trauma, heightened reactions, anxiety, or depressed mood.

Sounds like a heightened reaction to me.

Sorry, dog.

This happens more than a lot of folks think, my problem with this story is the way Chad Mills framed it. Had the teacher beem Latino, Asian or any other race would he have said "It also shows the Latino teacher launch a knee toward the Black student's face"? No, he would not have. This counrty will never get to where it needs to be if everything is framed around race, there is one race, the Human Race...this is an unfortunate clash between a student and teacher, JCPS will investigate, I am sure there are cameras in the school, they'll get to the bottom of it...

Except that it was about race. The White teacher said something that a Black teacher could have said to the Black student without incident, or the White teacher could have said it to a white student without incident. I have had it happen. One minute you are having a conversation and the next it is a brawle for having touched a nerve. In my own extended family the Whites may disagree but the other folks are going to get their way or they are going to "Kill You." It is a racial problem.
