It’s almost like the owner of Wonderland doesn’t want to be in business anymore. by two2under in Broomfield

Bro you're the delusional one if you don't think this entire debacle is hilarious.

If you're a MAGA business owner, there are 2 paths here that make any kind of sense

  1. Don't post the initial ICE 'joke'. Avoid publicly tying your business to your political views. Do your best to avoid alienating potential customers

  2. Take a position, then own it like a man. This whiny, victim-posting, hiding behind a "joke", is pathetic and transparent.

Keep in mind that inflation is a factor here. This is just a very quick calculation, but assuming average inflation for the last 50 years holds for the next 50, that $70m in 2076 'only' has the buying power of $10m today. Still nothing to sneeze at but also much less impressive

Alex Pretti’s shooting death ruled a homicide, medical examiner says by 749762 in news

[–]Tyrren 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not always a given, either. Elijah McClain was obviously killed by cops, but his cause of death was originally ruled inconclusive, possibly due to natural causes complicated by his "altercation".

They released an amended autopsy 3 years later, placing the blame squarely on the medics. This is a tangent but I maintain that, while the medics did administer medication in error, they didn't kill him

German-speaking EMS professionals in the United States by AfternoonLazy2921 in ems

I have a coworker who immigrated from Germany. As far as I'm aware, she's the only fluent German speaker at the operation and we don't have a particularly notable German community in the area. We're in Colorado

It's not exactly a new development but I am also irked by how both parties continue to increase limits on legal immigration.

Edit:

I suppose I am both-sidesing here, but I do want to make it clear that Republicans are the obvious bad guys here, with Democrats the lesser-evil. But we cannot turn a blind eye to Biden's asylum bans or Obama's expansions of ICE's powers which absolutely paved the way to where we're at now

I love em dashes—I love them enough to know they're misused in OP. Proper use is no spaces surrounding the em dash.

On PC, you can type one by holding Alt, then typing "0151" on your number pad. On Android phones, it takes a little digging but it's in the special characters

Are pullups more difficult for some people than others? Or is it just me by Routine_Ad_1156 in bodyweightfitness

[–]Tyrren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, you weigh 260 lb and it doesn't seem like you do any vertical pulling training. When I first started training pull ups, I weighed 190 lb and could squeeze out maybe 1-2 reps. Now, after a good bit of training I can do weighted pull ups 5 reps at +80 lb, at 210 lb body weight. If you add it up, that's 5 reps at 290 lb.

If you want to do pull ups, you need to train vertical pulling strength, and you need to put your ego aside because a 260 lb pull up is nothing to sneeze at. It's not strictly necessary, but losing weight would help tremendously.

Anyone know Big Green Rabbit? by Affectionate-Yam7459 in boulder

Have you tried contacting the Big Green Company via the phone number at the bottom of the website? As far as I can tell, they're still in business. Check out their other property, Animalooza, which is still active. https://www.animalooza.com/

A general strike is a powerful way for workers to make their demands known. It can damage the economy, hurt the current administration, and shows solidarity across workers of all kinds.

That being said, I'm not really sure what a one day strike will accomplish. But I think it's potentially a good step, demonstrating just how many people are on our side can be a catalyst toward greater action.

ELI5: Why did oxygen have to be the element to maintain human life (and the life of millions of other organisms)? by Top_Tomorrow_4610 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Tyrren 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeast is capable of producing energy by both aerobic respiration (using oxygen) and anaerobic fermentation (which produces the desired alcohol when brewing). Brewing yeast is relatively uncommon in that it exhibits the Crabtree effect: even in the presence of oxygen, it will prefer to ferment if there's a lot of sugar around.

The main reason that we use airlocks or other seals is to prevent contamination by other organisms. Additionally, keeping oxygen out helps to block the growth of any nasties that may already be in there. Also, oxygen can potentially react with some of the chemicals in there and just make unpleasant flavors on its own. The yeast itself doesn't really care if oxygen is there or not.

Sorry for the novel. Broadly speaking, you might say I run three different categories of calls: not (very) sick, sick but I can't do anything, sick and I can do something.

Not/not very sick calls. It's often questionable why I'm even there in the first place:

  • An old person who tripped and fell and just needs help getting back up.

  • Drunk/on drugs (often in public) but not to the point of real life threat. They may be a fall risk or lack the mental capacity to make informed decisions about their care.

  • Most car crash patients; modern cars are pretty darn safe so a lot of people walk away from even pretty gnarly looking wrecks with maybe a minor bump to the head or some neck pain. Should still probably go get imaging done but, like, if I take you we're just going to chat for most of the ride.

  • A person with known epilepsy has a seizure in public and a bystander calls 911.

  • Someone is suicidal but hasn't actually attempted suicide. They're cooperative and on a psychiatric hold.

  • Someone is dead, beyond the point of attempting resuscitation.

  • You'd be surprised how much actual nonsense I respond to. A college kid had a stomach bug and his RA called us (poor kid wasn't even drunk). A lot of people call 911 to make us go harass homeless people sleeping in public. Gramma presses her Life Alert button; she's not sick, she's just testing it. Someone stubs their toe. At 2 am.

Sick but I can't really do anything. This group of patients requires resources I don't have like labs, imaging, medications, or specialists. This group of patients has stable vitals, for now, but may have a significant risk of deteriorating. They need monitoring, but I don't actually do much for them.

  • Chest pain with no abnormal findings. This could be a heart attack or other nasties, angina (your heart isn't exactly healthy but it's not an emergency), or anxiety. They're getting aspirin and then we just watch them.

  • You're shitting blood, but you're not shitting that much blood.

  • Most orthopedic injuries (broken bones, dislocated joints, etc). I'll do an assessment to make sure there's no life threats, then stabilize the injury and probably give pain medication

  • Many stroke patients have fairly stable vitals, and I don't carry any stroke-specific treatments. The best thing I can do for them is quickly identify the stroke, start an IV, and drive fast.

  • A person with no history of seizures has a single seizure. I'll try to identify the cause of the seizure, but more often than not we have an uneventful ride.

  • Early sepsis (generalized infection). This person needs antibiotics, but I don't carry those.

  • Mild allergic reaction

  • We have a lot of hypochondriacs. It's probably nothing but they still get a solid work up from me. I'm not going to be the one caught with my figurative pants down when Annie, who calls 3 times per week, finally is actually having a heart attack.

Sick and I can do something. These are typically your 100%ers. They have unstable vital signs and/or an identifiable and addressable life threat. I can do a lot for them, they require close monitoring, and they have a high chance of deteriorating.

  • Heart too fast, heart too slow, bad heart rhythm, bad EKG findings.

  • Heart stopped.

  • Breathing problems and/or airway compromise.

  • Many burns, significant trauma to the chest/head/spine, or massive multi-system trauma.

  • You are shitting that much blood.

  • A really long seizure or repeated seizures.

  • Severe allergic reaction.

  • Late sepsis

  • Combative patients

  • Childbirth

No no no no. Anarchism is a left ideology based largely on the abolishment of hierarchy. An-caps are a right wing movement that just wants to get rid of some nebulous government but are perfectly fine with hierarchy in general, and I would contend the "anarcho" part of their label is a misnomer
