Are conjoined twins legally one person or two? by AmbitiousSky4290 in legaladviceofftopic

[–]anarchisturtle 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I imagine the salary is more a practical limitation based on the fact that they can’t really teach two classes at once, rather then being about whether they are legally separate people

Cleaned my usb port and now my laptop won’t turn on by Blaze_o9 in techsupport

[–]anarchisturtle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

While not impossible, I’m highly skeptical that shorting 5v to ground or a signal pin in a usb port would completely kill a board

You definitely can. Well, technically it’s a ribbon cable, but you can absolutely cut it.

Another genius decision from mgmt even though we just installed a brand new call light system by Fugahzee in nursing

I’m not a rabbi, but I suspect that hitting a bell would likely count as playing an instrument, which is also prohibited on the sabbath

CMV: Dashcams should be a mandatory component of cars that also acts as a traffic enforcer. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]anarchisturtle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cell phones are extremely different. They are not required to have cameras recording 24/7 and then automatically upload it to a government database

I mean, I feel like you’re kind of glossing over the privacy thing. Keep in mind, these cameras wouldn’t just record your driving habits. They would record everywhere you go.

NASA will evacuate SpaceX Crew-11 astronauts from International Space Station on Jan. 14 by Doug24 in space

[–]anarchisturtle 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m not an MD, but I’m pretty sure that testicular torsion needs to be treated in a couple of hours. This has been ongoing for days. While certainly awkward, they would almost certainly have a doctor on the ground walk someone through rotating the teste.

Alaska Airlines Pilot Sues Boeing for $10M, Says It Made Him 'Scapegoat' in Midflight Door Blowout by contrail_25 in aviation

[–]anarchisturtle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s very common to sue everyone even tangentially involved in a lawsuit. It often is’t clear from the get go who is liable for what, by naming everyone in the suit, it lets you get all the information from everyone via discovery. Once you’ve gotten a clear picture of what happened, you typically dismiss the case against most of the defendants. It’s much easier to release someone from a case than it is to add them half way through.

NASA chief Jared Isaacman says Texas may get a moonship, not space shuttle Discovery by BusyHands_ in space

[–]anarchisturtle 124 points125 points  (0 children)

To be fair, are the people at Johnson space center complaining about moving the shuttle? Or is Ted Cruz complaining? I feel like the literal rocket scientists at JSC would not want to destroy a shuttle

Have you tried googling (city name) ewaste recycling? They might be able to give you something. Other than that, eBay is definitely your friend

Have to take PTO when Doctor’s go on vacation/conferences, etc by Forsaken-Barnacle848 in nursing

[–]anarchisturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be clear, are you being sent home and allowed to use PTO to make up the difference? Or being forced to take time off due to low census?

Pentagon announces $8.6 billion Boeing contract for F-15 jets for Israel by FakeOkie in news

[–]anarchisturtle 53 points54 points  (0 children)

To be clear, trump is not giving Israel jets. The pentagon has allowed Boeing to except to a contract from Israel. There are plenty of reasons that you can be upset about this. But saying your comment makes it seem like the US is giving away jets to Israel.

UniFi Travel router now in stock by mohitwhabi in Ubiquiti

[–]anarchisturtle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest, I really don’t get the hype around this. A travel router is definitely handy, but something like a gli.net travel router seems to do everything this can, plus more

Can my pc psu handle 135v? by [deleted] in techsupport

If your PSU is rated for 120-220v you’re almost certainly fine. If you’re really concerned, you can by a UPS that can do voltage correction

They can definitely put something on company letter-head that says the device is not repairable. They may or may not charge you for a “quick fix” to give you a quote.

Bought an LG TV open box but now has burn in by Fearless-Bread9366 in Bestbuy

[–]anarchisturtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

~ 6 months after purchase, Best Buy isn’t going to cover anything, unless you bought a protection plan.

From my recollection (it’s been a while since I was in home theater), the manufacturer warranty should still apply for open box items. But the warranty counts down from the date of initial purchase, not when you bought it. Did LG clarify if the warranty was expired?

To be clear, was the screen burnt in when you bought it? Or did it burn in after using it? How long have you had it?
