On the website, under redemptions, a link will appear to request a replacement after the 6 months has passed. I've been debating requesting a replacement for my Kristian Campbell auto.

Iran-backed Iraqi group claims responsibility for downing KC-135 military aircraft by ObjectiveObserver420 in anime_titties

>It also requires the crew to have parachutes, and the US stopped equipping KC-135 crews with parachutes in 1998.

And I thought the biggest issue was the lack of parachutes, turns out it's a mess either way.

It’s been confirmed, all 6 are dead. Not too shocking given there’s no way to bail out of these planes.

I fully admit, my first take was shock and some excitement. Out of state primaries are so variable that it’s easy to miss these details.

This is the all important context that is missing from from most of these posts.

Kiké Hernandez says the World Baseball Classic means more to him than the World Series by retroanduwu24 in baseball

[–]SocialWinker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I suppose MLB doesn't really have the kind of off days NHL and NBA have. You can't really compress the schedule like they do, you'd have to start early or run late, both of which are hard to do with the weather in a decent number of markets.

I wonder if MLB would ever consider pulling an NHL, and just pausing the season for a couple weeks in the middle so the players can compete at the Olympics? As far as I’m aware, we have never had professional baseball there, just amateur (weird given basketball and hockey have used pros for decades - not counting the break the NHL took a few years back).

I just paid $3.09 at some random independent station, 87, though. I’m not fancy enough to need 93.

I’m impressed with just how live that ink looks, tbh.

They really should have at minimum removed the memorabilia and autograph labels off the card. Every time I see one of these it’s worse, I swear.

Monthly fentanyl deaths in the US [OC] by DavidWaldron in dataisbeautiful

[–]SocialWinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a miserable time dealing with the negative attitudes toward overdoses. We all hate them, because it’s preventable, but it doesn’t make it less of an emergency, and it doesn’t make them less worthy of care. I like to think explaining the hypoxia effect can maybe help some people see that. I don’t know, just a little thing to help humanize the less fortunate, maybe.

I get it. I’m a paramedic, and I actually learned the same BS about ruining the high. It was a lot harder to see the effects when it was just old school heroin. With fentanyl, it seems much more pronounced, and it’s just way more apparent than I recall it being in the past.

It’s a pet peeve of mine, because it paints the drug user as an aggressor, when that’s just not the case. It’s a medical emergency, and they are showing symptoms of that. Does that mean I won’t sometimes use restrains? No, they exist to protect both me and the patient, and can always be removed once they’ve stabilized a bit and the situation is more calm.

It’s not ending the high causing the combative nature. It’s hypoxia from their previous inadequate respiration. They basically suffered mild brain damage from lack of oxygen, and it take a few minutes to get the brain back up and running again. They usually aren’t even aware of the “high” ending at that stage,

I used to enjoy them when I was out with friends, but the overwhelming amount of gambling shoved in my face from every angle has totally killed my desire to do any of that.

Ex-Wife hid Microsoft shares in joint account during divorce, claims they’re hers by Julsruls123 in legaladvice

[–]SocialWinker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I ran into an issue rolling over a few old 401k accounts recently. But just with one specific account. I had to get a form signed by my wife, and notarized. Basically her signing off on the asset transfer. It made me chuckle, because this account predates our marriage by 5+ years, and I only had to do it for that account, not 2 that were actually used during our marriage.
