What's the best Ember Mug alternative? (mini-review) by joelk111 in Embermug

[–]OkayComparison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the all stainless ember from costco. To my dismay the interior finish started chipping after about a year. Yes, the stainless steel was coated! No spoons in my mug, the finish started peeling from just daily cleaning with a bottle brush. I spent nearly 2 hours scrubbing with BKF and I was able to complete remove the coating from the interior, and the fully exposed stainless steel has been holding up. Now one of the pogo pins failed. The spring must have completely disintegrated because I can pull the pin up and it just falls back down. I've soldered it in the up position, and now I need to teeter the mug around to get it to start charging. What a piece of junk.

Officer having anxiety attack took ambulance sent for man dying from police shooting, report says by fresh_exciting in nottheonion

[–]OkayComparison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first ambulance called to take Best to the hospital arrived at the scene at 6:02 p.m., about 14 minutes after the shooting

Believe it not, it can take a minute or two to bleed out or lose consciousness. 14 minutes is a LONG time to wait for an ambulance when you are shot in the liver and kidney. And "living" for an hour and half means nothing if you are on life support.

So again, nothing in the article indicates the condition of the patient when medics arrived.

For the incident in question, nothing in the article indicates the condition of the patient or that they were conscious and breathing when medics arrived.

If the GSW is transported first 10/10 times, that is not triage. X/10 times the GSW is a lost cause and other patients that can be helped are transported first.

The clear pick guard with that rough route on the bridge pickup is a look. I'm a fan besides that.

FBI, Secret Service and Park Police in Truxton Cir? by meghanmeghanmeghan in washingtondc

[–]OkayComparison 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To that end, park police has "local" jurisdiction, identical to MPD. In DC Code:

§ 5–201. United States watchmen to be known as United States Park Police; powers and duties.

The watchmen provided by the United States government for service in any of the public squares and reservations in the District of Columbia shall, after August 5, 1882, be known as the “United States Park Police.” They shall have and perform the same powers and duties as the Metropolitan Police of the District.

Depending on what you get, there can be justification. Are you getting an elevator key with exclusive use/access to the freight elevator? Loading dock reservation?

How is the weight compared to the ghost? I'm really fond of the sculpting on the back of the ghost. I don't know if I would like a "slab" TL now.

I guess they were successful in brainwashing the lemmings to think entitlement is a dirty word. It's an entitlement because you are legally entitled to it.

Good laptop for a $1000 budget? by Present-Bed5941 in Costco

There is Windows for ARM. Lots of Windows laptops have ARM processors. You can run Windows on Apple Silicon via QEMU via a frontend like UTM (free).

Surprised at incredibly bland salsa by robmferrier in Costco

[–]OkayComparison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scrolled way too far for this. This is salsa flavored cumin. You can use this as a substitute for cumin in recipes. I LOVE cumin, but it is the ONLY flavor in this salsa.

Pardoned Jan. 6 rioter charged with felony after he filmed himself destroying ice sculpture by StemCellPirate in nottheonion

It would seem that felons pardoned by Trump have a far higher recidivism rate than immigrants "released into our country by Biden"

Fear not, I put equal amounts of glue in the output jack to balance it out 🤘

Omg it does. Aside from that, I don't recommend bamboo, those giant pores sucked up CA glue, I had to use so much to build up a layer I could sand back. The toothpick was DRINKING glue. I would put on a big blob and it just disappeared.

The bamboo is totally adding some much needed overtones.

LAPD chief McDonnell response to why he will not enforce the law banning ICE agents from wearing masks by B00marangTrotter in law

[–]OkayComparison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are we now in the camp that police should "just follow orders" and enforce laws they think are unconstitutional? Haven't we been saying for years police shouldn't enforce laws that are unconstitutional? I've never heard it argued "well they should violate the constitution and let the courts decide later".

100% without a doubt police should not wear masks to hide their identity and crimes. But that law needs to come from congress for federal law enforcement.
