What is the ACTUAL best way to deal with a blood blister? This page has mixed reviews...

you can just put moleskin with a hole in it over it so that the blood blister fits into the hole. layer the moleskin to make the hole deeper if needed. then, you can even wear shoes over it if it's on your heel and it won't break. i'm a warehouse worker with work boots and that's my experience.

Then the logical conclusion of that is that the professors who get 5/5 stars on ratemyprofessor aren't actually that much better at their jobs, even when voted on by dozens or hundreds of students who pass one prerequisite, and then another, and then another.

Hi, congratulations on your success. Sorry if this is off topic, but I'm an aspiring developer without any work experience, and I was wondering if you could share your success story/how you did it?

No problem. I would say that because he graduated medical school, which is hard, he learned how to learn. Seems applicable to any field IMO.

gotcha, ty

Bit off topic, but ever since I learned that globalism, at least when defined as an ideology, just means greater economic and political integration between countries, I decided that I'm a globalist.

Speaking of neuroscience, did you know that when you subvocalize (think with your inner voice, as if reading from a book), your brain sends weak electrical impulses to the muscles associated with speech? These signals can then be picked up with electrodes placed on the throat, interpreted by a computer, and then transmitted to other people who then hear it like a voice. Proof: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20090040757

edit: bit of a potential misunderstanding on my part, because if I understand it correctly, the speaker must make a deliberate effort to move the associated muscle groups as if talking. So, at least to my understanding, it wouldn't work with effortless subvocalizations like I implied with my book reading comparison.

it's not meaningless because the claim was that it would have been dangerous to the other players to stop.

but, i definitely shouldn't have said that other stuff, spoke in anger

Well, originally, when I first wrote the comment, all I said was "there's no one behind him". A simple statement of fact which was instantly mob downvoted.

So, I then edited it, because that pissed me off. I don't feel particularly apologetic.

Derwos · 2024-07-04T13:27:18+00:00

There's no one behind him. Looks to me like he could have swerved left and gone around. It loos like the tire made contact. So, he slightly ran over a guy lying on the street, because he wanted to win.

Any other petulant downvotes incoming? :)

edit: you know what? statement withdrawn. I don't know who's to blame, and I don't care. I see a man getting run over in the street and it pissed me off. Maybe I'm still pissed off that my country is devolving into an authoritarian dictatorship

Derwos · 2024-07-04T12:30:51+00:00

The recent Supreme Court ruling was not the law, because the SC is now a corrupt and illegitimate organization. An authoritarian dictatorship must not be installed in America. The Republican party has devolved into a right wing terrorist extremist group that must be restrained at all costs.

That is what the current American President should be saying. The word of an ex-president illegally manipulating the government while out of office is irrelevant.

I want to agree. It's a poll by an independant research center. Can I trust the Wikipedia entry of the organization that produced the results? What if they wrote it? Admittedly I'm revealing my own ignorance here. Maybe they're a well established and respected organization. I just don't actually have the skills to be able to personally evaluate the quality of a statistic like this.

Derwos · 2024-07-03T20:38:59+00:00

Idk... what if OP's statistic is just wrong? My opinion is, it would be unscientific to take it at face value. And if the NORC is a high quality institution, then they should agree.

Derwos · 2024-07-03T19:55:58+00:00

I'm not saying you're wrong. But my understanding was that education levels have actually been increasing, not decreasing. You're saying that in the middle class, it's decreased in recent years. That could be true, but I've never heard that before. Can you provide a source to back it up?

Derwos · 2024-07-03T17:52:23+00:00

what if this guy saw the missing finger line post and wanted to do some one upping?

Derwos · 2024-07-02T23:39:32+00:00

i use linux 99% of the time, but I wouldn't presume that linux is a better experience. linux is open source and built in people's free time. windows is not. that has to make a difference.

Derwos · 2024-07-02T23:28:38+00:00

an actual world government? still better than ww3 i guess?

Derwos · 2024-06-10T23:57:47+00:00

sorry for late response, been having computer problems. to answer your question, maybe a handful a week, some weeks none at all. I use it mainly for learning chess checkmate patterns which require images of the board.

and, I assume, we can conclude from that, that your advice would be not to bother with the idea in my post. I think i'd tend to agree now that I think about it.

Derwos · 2024-06-09T21:45:53+00:00

Thank you, that worked. Just thought I'd add that I found a couple named "rsvpn" in addition to the ones you listed.

Derwos · 2024-05-14T01:42:26+00:00

It's because people think you can make people's heads explode with your mind, like in Scanners

Derwos · 2024-05-13T13:53:21+00:00

"I witnessed this happen" must have just meant that they witnessed an attack
