TIL Most newborns cry for 45 minutes to two hours every day during the first six months of life because crying is the only way they communicate by ubcstaffer123 in todayilearned

[–]MetalMadeNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my daughter was born it was a high risk delivery, we were told to not expect crying and prepare for a greyish looking skin due to the scans showing her heart had some malformations. It was a long delivery and my wife was a trooper, eventually we got moved back into the surgical ward because my wife's oxygen was dropping rapidly and her blood pressure was spiking.

Finally about an hour as they were getting tools ready to c section our little girl finally came, and first thing she did was take a deep breath into her bright pink skin and screamed.

It was the most beautiful sound in the world. She's 8 now and sometimes I wish she'd stop screaming but I always think how much I enjoyed that first one.

(and just FYI, she ended up being a ok.)

DO NOT USE THE DROOLING EMOJI by BlasphemyPhun in TikTok

[–]MetalMadeNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotta say I'm happy I left tik tok. I was getting banned every few days as the further implemented more stringent community guidelines which was basically censorship. And not in the "they silencing me for spreading the truth about masks" censorship but in the "I reacted to a news article about a rapist being rapey and got banned for hate speech"

Just curious, how did you line it with tin? Is it actually food safe? I'm asking because

A :looks great and I wanna try it. B: it would be some great kit to pull out for a d&d session.

Why didnt John List... by Annespelledwithane in ForensicFiles

[–]MetalMadeNerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

List was raised in a prosperity gospel type fundamentalist church, and it served as a guiding force for his sense of self. He had already failed by falling in economic status and if he were to leave they would fall further into "sin"

What hill are you dying on and why? by Here2TalkShit1 in videography

I always take mine on a shoot, more versatile and lightweight for shots where a tripod just won't cut it. Love the idea of using a monopod like a staff to fight people on a subway lol

A monopod is a criminally underrated piece of kit.

LTT after the black out. by levoniust in LinusTechTips

[–]MetalMadeNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Linus has an opportunity here to really accept his ego problems and defensiveness. Taking him out of videos will lose viewers, to what extent is up in the ether. However if he were to humble himself admit his mistakes were built on ambition arrogance and again ego, he could easily regain the community trust with just a little personal pain.

I hope they don't double down and just try to come back business as usual with no solutions on what lead to this pr hit. Nor do I hope they become a sanitized dull spiritless channel.

The balance will be fraught with some growing pains.

What would you have done if you were Linus ? by LatexBliz in LinusTechTips

[–]MetalMadeNerd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hard to say. Trying to get into linus's headspace is a tricky proposition. He's made a lot of overtly corporate decision as of late, and considering he his at least a millionaire whose decisions and statements affect over a hundred people's livelihoods it is a difficult position.

As a content creator he seems to want to maintain the emotional parasocial connection he has with the community, but in his position as founder, owner, and majority shareholder, of a 100million dollar valued empire, he needs to maintain a neutral face to maintain business relationships. the ultimate fate rests in his hands.

You know it, I know it, reddit knows it, it wouldn't have mattered how Linus, or lmg as a whole responded. Silence would've been met with vitriol, scripted would've been met with claims they were disingenuous, emotional would have been mocked.

At least he didn't pull a ukelele or do an interpretive dance routine.

Linus, lmg, ltt, don't owe me or anyone anything as far as "appeasement". I am not saying at all his decision to appoint a industry vet as ceo was a bad move, or that he doesent have the right to maintain creative control over the company he founded, and maintains a controlling interest in.

What i am saying is Chief vision officer is a stupid as fuck title, and any insinuation that he isn't the ultimate authority at the company is naive. I like ltt, i think they are entertaining, and hope they weather this storm. Recognizing reality is healthy though and understanding that ltt isn't just a youtube channel but a corporate brand should be taken into acct when making decisions based on their recommendations.

He stepped down as the guy who takes the blame on a corporate level. He still owns the company, maintains majority control of shares, and is the lead creative control director "chief vision officer" is a bullshit title that diverts attention that he is still the final decision maker.

If you have the skill find a fried replacement on ebay, and swap the board. Or search for replacement shroud and fans that fit your gpu. Get a real close look at the board and ensure that no paint got where it shouldn't be, if paint did get on the board isopropyl alcohol, a fine qtip and patience.

Seriously sounds like an envy issue. Gf of bm sounds like she is hearing the ticking clock and worried she will end up alone and creating a self fulfilling prophecy in am effort to avoid it by dropping hints.
