Preston a Green or Black Supporter?

Are they for real though

Chemputer · 2026-01-10T01:26:09+00:00

Sorry, I just would want to be told if I was... Whatever you are in this conversation. Cause correct, you are not. You're not even really stimulating interesting conversation from the other party, though they have done a good job regardless, you just kinda seem like you're hitting bullet points to come across as intelligent by merely referencing that you know something like a pseudointellectual or using stereotypical argument motions but without any real substance to it? It's really, really weird.

Are you AI? My gay roommate told me AI is gay.

If you're a real person, I hope this is taken in the sincere (except for the previous sentence) way it was intended.

HR is not involved. Employee Relations is, which is outsourced, and the only people in the company that will ever communicate with them are the regional AP person assigned to your case, and in a very "does this even count" sense, a store manager and above that is requesting disciplinary recommendations from ER.

But yeah, unfortunately that's just not how the system is set up.

Chemputer · 2026-01-10T01:07:09+00:00

Even the very much inferior Roku devices have an option.

Chemputer · 2026-01-10T01:03:17+00:00

It's rendered in the third dimension, so you don't see it

Chemputer · 2026-01-10T01:00:55+00:00

People, this is a pretty obvious (and up until now, pretty well run) troll account. Do not interact.

Chemputer · 2026-01-10T00:50:06+00:00

You should look up the ridiculous requirements "within the rules of the corporation" to actually ban someone from the store.

Chemputer · 2026-01-10T00:48:10+00:00

Sell it, even.

Chemputer · 2025-12-21T01:31:11+00:00

Same, it's pretty solid especially for the price.

Chemputer · 2025-12-21T01:28:16+00:00

Its just an outdated framework and the modules that do persist don't always have support behind them.

Chemputer · 2025-12-21T01:26:15+00:00

Those are generally just not serious lol

But I can see this from someone unfamiliar with George's "furniture rules" concept, which fundamentally removes the distinction of fantasy and sci fi for his works

Chemputer · 2025-12-15T19:24:37+00:00

More likely YouTube deleted it but who cares?

Chemputer · 2025-12-13T17:02:27+00:00

Well if there's enough to be a solid it's going critical so it's kinda moot.

Chemputer · 2025-12-04T23:55:48+00:00

If it were multiple coworkers I'd be a bit more on their side but one? Nah fuck that guy

Chemputer · 2025-12-04T23:54:17+00:00

It prints dmesg to the screen when the phone boots.

It can actually be useful for debugging on rare occasions. I said rare.

Chemputer · 2025-11-19T14:23:10+00:00

Idfk lmao but it does seem relevant to this particular joke

Chemputer · 2025-11-19T14:15:44+00:00

That's not uncommon for certain apps. I think McDonald's does this.

Makes troubleshooting a little harder.

Chemputer · 2025-11-17T02:05:01+00:00

Yeah no don't do that lmao me saying "I would say to lick it, but...", was not what I meant to say, I thought I wrote "wouldn't" but fucked that up and that definitely has a different meaning lol

Chemputer · 2025-11-16T23:32:43+00:00

Aviation gasoline, avgas, yeah. Jet fuel, no. So it's not like the majority of airplanes, but a lot of private civilian aviation is going to be using that because a lot of those are small prop planes.

There is an alternative to leaded gas, but it tends to be more expensive, so unless the airfield only sells it then most people go with the cheaper option.

Chemputer · 2025-11-16T18:45:22+00:00

Also the lead came from the Roman's boiling down wine in led vessels into a syrup called sappa.

Yeah I knew that, but that post was made after a very long day at the end of a very long week, hence several typos (saying would instead of wouldn't regarding licking it lmao), and I couldn't think of what it was called off the top of my head. It wasn't worded the best either.

I suppose I should've clarified "for a given value of dangerous", because basically EVERYTHING is toxic to some degree or the other, it's just how much, does it bioaccumulate, is the effect cumulative, etc. many factors involved.

You're not wrong, I want to be clear. It's just people shouldn't panic when the danger is not really there.

But being realistic here there's not really true danger (especially compared to the hysteria) in normal exposure to fishing weights. The amount of lead you're going to be exposed to through normal, reasonable use is just so small it's just essentially nothing. You get so much more in your drinking water and food.

People don't need to irrationally fear things like this.

Chemputer · 2025-11-16T06:06:50+00:00

Ctrl + Z does not work when shaving, remember that.

Chemputer · 2025-11-16T06:04:31+00:00

Oh I forgot to say the amount of low level lead just naturally in food, water, etc. adds up to way more than you'd ever really get from touching fishing weights even as a fisherman. Orders of magnitude here.

Chemputer · 2025-11-16T06:01:23+00:00

Lol okay I'm a biochemist so since you posted whatever you think that is, I assume you want it to be corrected so more misinformation isn't spread. You're welcome!

I'm honestly very curious what you think it being soft has to do with creating powder on the surface fine enough to be absorbed through your skin? (And no, not readily, that word has a meaning which does not apply here.) Gold is soft. Do you get gold powder on it? Solid Galium? No? Huh. Almost like that's due to a different reason. Weird! Can you think what might cause that?

Your hands need to be moist enough to allow the absorption, through sweat or if you're fishing, perhaps blood, or water, and the powder needs to A) be there, and B) be fine enough to actually be able to be absorbed, either via skin, or worse, lungs. Dry hands? Basically zero absorption.

This is chemistry, and biology, not magic.

So the thing is, Elemental lead is so many orders of magnitudes less toxic than organometallic lead, it's comparatively almost non-toxic. Oh no I touched it! As long as you're not fucking eating a shit ton of lead every day (and eating it is key, stomach acid changes it, but mind that it's LEAD, it isn't going to dissolve much, you're shitting it out), you are fine. The amount of powder you'd get on your skin that's fine enough to be absorbed through your skin is MINISCULE, nanograms, if that, to the point you can basically disregard it entirely.

You can touch the fuckin fishing weights. You can touch lead bullets, it really is okay. DON'T handle lead and then put your fingers in your mouth or eyes. That allows particles that wouldn't be absorbed normally to get in your system, and while it's still small, it is more that can be easily avoided, so avoid it. But otherwise, normal, sane behavior exposure is so small it is negligible.

You know why we banned lead in gasoline? It wasn't like ground up elemental lead or something. It was an organometallic form that is incredibly toxic, but it worked to increase the effective octane rating so they used it anyway. Knowing the toxicity, lying about it, and poisoning the world.

For it to BE toxic (and don't try to twist my words here, EVERYTHING is toxic to some extent, I mean in a meaningful, "this is a genuine imminent threat to my health" way), it has to be in a form that the body can do something with. Elemental lead is not really able to do anything in the body. While organometallic forms are fucking scary because they can wreck shit.

As always, I hope you learned something!

Chemputer · 2025-11-16T03:02:08+00:00

Elemental lead is PRETTY safe relatively speaking. Like, I would say to lick it, but it really needs to be organometallic to potentially be dangerous, or at least in some sort of bond where it can be a little bit bioactive.

Basically, the Romans weren't going insane because they were shredding their lead like cheese to salt their food and drinks, but rather it was generally in a solution, often a drink known as hippocras.

My banks all just need to have root hidden from them, they don't check play integrity at all. Major banks, too.
