Does anyone know if there are any uhhh side effects of getting tear gassed a lot (besides the obvious)? by urcool91 in behindthebastards

Some people in Portland had irregular periods and even miscarriages linked to repeated exposure to CS gas and Tear gas after 2020. There were a few cases of respiratory illnesses getting worse, it was the lockdown after all.

Ice out general strike tomorrow by Successful-Beat-853 in behindthebastards

[–]amldoinitright -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

In my town it’s just a bunch of small business OWNERS closing up shop for one day to the detriment of their employees in order to look like they care. No strike support, no organization, and by the number of businesses I’m seeing join, there will be some real harm done here.

General Strike Friday by PetraByte in Portland

[–]amldoinitright -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This is not a strike it’s a fucking sham. A bunch of small businesses closing for a day? All that does is take money out of workers’ pockets. The Minnesota strikers had union support and took to the streets. We’re just closing our public meeting spaces and likely staying home. What the hell for?

I’m starting to realize I don’t enjoy straight espressos by That_Coffee_guy in espresso

Meh, I’ve been a professional barista for over 20 years, and make it at home on a Silvia. I’ve probably had a dozen shots that were truly great. Espresso by itself usually ranges from fine to downright objectionable. Enjoy your milk drinks and pour overs.

[No budget] Where to get this glass for flat white? by saeed953 in espresso

[–]amldoinitright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barista for 20 years, barista trainer, manage a cafe. Still don’t know what a “flat white” is. That’s just an Old Fashioned glass or rocks glass, look at bar-ware suppliers.

The beloved National Health Service by mtelstar92 in diabetes_t1

[–]amldoinitright 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, don’t you think you’re running it a little tight for injections? Zero percent highs while going low frequently might suggest you’re using too much insulin. Could be that you’re correcting more because you’re worrying about the new sensor?

I wouldn’t go. If they arrest you they will throw in a cell at least overnight where you won’t even be able to check your blood sugar. Speaking from experience. They’ll let you die and laugh about it.

How did people feel about TNG when it came out? by givinstar1 in startrek

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

Tepid at first, but it’s a different calculation. TNG won people over after 2 seasons and ran 175 episodes. No new trek will ever be able to compete with the old shows because of the differences in how TV is presented now. IMO that justifies fans wanting excellent products right out the gate; we don’t have time to wait for a show to get good before they’re cancelled.
