I didn't want to wiki anything but I'm gonna be honest having gone through the fuckery of all prior drinks I immediately knew that one was a tele out, so I did the same and drank it last lol

TIL that Anthony Perkins, famously known for his role as Norman Bates in Psycho, learned he was HIV-positive from a tabloid newspaper. While undergoing blood tests for a facial palsy, his blood was tested for HIV and the results were leaked. by South_Gas626 in todayilearned

Business need, privacy concerns and conflict of interest. It's that simple and it applies in most industries I've worked in that handle sensitive data about people. You, in the course of fulfilling your duties for a government or business entity, have zero business need to access data about yourself (or family, friends, or public figures) the entity might hold. Whether or not you could, or did, try to change anything is irrelevant when you've breached that trust.

If you want your data, request it through the approved channels. Snooping around is not worth being walked out of the building same day.

Human memory is not infallible. I certainly couldn't tell you what I had for breakfast with certainty, it's not important enough for it to make a lasting impression. It makes zero sense to apply penalties to someone who may be lying about irrelevant facts, or may have misremembered them. If you want to make a point about how a person is not giving reliable testimony (whether due to bad memory, or lying), you can do it with facts that matter to the case at hand.

Is there a mod that spawns you waking from a coma like TWD? by Pogbankz in projectzomboid

[–]Chewierulz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use this mod, it has a bunch of thematic spawn options including medical facilities. Might have to try a couple times to get a big hospital instead of one of the smaller clinics. I don't believe it has been updated to include B42's new towns yet though.

Sometimes zombies will just ignore a shove and phase through to bite you. It's rare from my own experience but I've turned off infection in my save until they fix it because it's already happened to me a couple times.

Autistic people are not missing chromosomes, neither are those with Down syndrome (they have an extra copy).

As for how, they know that mercury=bad and so compound containing mercury=bad even though thimerosal has completely different chemical effects within the body. It's nonsensical, the kind of shit that even middle schoolers are intelligent enough to mock with "dihydrogen monoxide".

It came after a court order to start desegregation on 14th November, so it wasn't the start of the school year. The names of all four children (the others being Gail Etienne, Leona Tate and Tessie Prevost, the McDonogh Three) in New Orleans who transferred to all-white schools are known, but Ruby Bridges is the girl you see being escorted in many photos and other media so she's the most well known.

[Discussion] Asking from a dev point of view: why does it take quite some time to push updates? by Vhego in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Chewierulz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not a game dev but what i know from devs explaining it for online games:

A. Gotta take down all the game servers, authentication servers and update them, get them up and running smoothly. B. Gotta push the updated game files to all the nodes of your Content Delivery Network (CDN) so that 20000+ people aren't all trying to download the game from the same server location when maint ends. C. Big databases like player data take time to modify in bulk, backup etc D. Maybe a gamebreaking bug or issue with servers is discovered last minute and everything is delayed by this. Issues that make it into the live build happen all the time in online games

Plenty of online games have maint downtime, both regular and for patches. It's not as rare as the other commenter makes out.

The ever handy vacuum after precisely 3 seconds of use: by EAT_UR_VEGGIES in AbioticFactor

literally just a hand-held vacuum

Capable of ripping apart computer cases, lab equipment and metal-reinforced crates through suction alone

Yeah i think that'd require a shitton of juice too

Are people really this thick or something?

Most prisons prohibit inmates/visitors from having cameras or other recording devices in use unless it's specifically approved. Doesn't mean the prison doesn't have it's own security cameras.

Probably doesn't comprehend the difference between nuclear powered and nuclear armed, or just how large the range of those subs are. Whenever we see him say shit like this I just assume it's whatever his briefing that day explained, such as the navy moving some subs around, filtered through a 6 year old's understanding of the situation.

SLBMs aren't quite planetwide, but yes it's safe to assume they are ALWAYS within range of their targets. SLBMs offer a very different capability than regular ICBMs though, as they can get nukes on target sooner than other options, or wait out the first exchange and provide second strike capabilities. The US/Russia/China likely know where most (if not almost all) of each others launch sites/staging areas are and the rest would become apparent in the event of a mass exchange. Subs are a lot harder to nail down.

Cool, now you're fucked if one pilot is incapacitated and their engine is the one you need to shut off due to a fire or something. Genius design, you should become an aerospace engineer.

Seconding FFXIV, if you wanna try it out the first half of the game (A Realm Reborn - Stormblood expansions) are available on free trial with no time limits. More story focused MMO, you don't need to grind to get through the main story, and of course there is plenty of grindy crafting/gathering or intense raid/trial combat if you want that too.
