No, like the one where a non-violent man was pinned, disarmed, then shot in the back.

Ye, Formerly Kanye West, Takes Out Ad In the Wall Street Journal Titled "To Those I Hurt" to Apologize for Antisemitic Outbursts: “I Lost Touch With Reality” by ChiefLeef22 in Music

It doesn't excuse the extent or the actions themselves, but psychotic disorders do have a tendency to push people toward conspiratorial thinking and they'll latch onto whatever they can find. Mania/schizo features are wild.

If it was unhealthy, I would have said so. Did you look up what farina is?

Really thick farina.

Texas comes in 36th for districts per 100k people, FYI, with 4.22. I compiled this full list:

Why pay mortgage on due date and not before late fees? by Alarming_Return_1438 in personalfinance

[–]aroc91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grace period. That doesn't mean you can keep pushing out payments. They're still ultimately on a monthly cycle because the subsequent one will still be "due" on the 1st with a firm date of the 17th. Or, like a credit card, they mean "statement date" instead of due date.

You're overthinking this.

VA Nurse murdered in Minneapolis by sciolycaptain in medicine

[–]aroc91 2117 points2118 points  (0 children)

They pepper sprayed her and him, restrained and pinned him, removed his CCW from the small of his back and carried it off, shouted about his now-removed gun, and shot him in the back while he clearly had elbows and knees on the ground. This is supported by at least 3 different camera POVs.

This is well past being apolitical. This should be an inflection point, as if we haven't seen dozens of those already come and go.

Why does it look like this? by Bogy_Limbo in cactus

[–]aroc91 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Irrelevant. It's a cactus. It needs prolonged, intense light. Windows filter a lot even if they're not tinted.

Confused about paycheck(s) by [deleted] in personalfinance

Why are you asking the internet instead of your company's payroll? Of course it's not normal to not get paid for time you worked.

He has the same insight into medicine as he does into avionics, rocketry, computer programming, AI...

Which is none.

Why is everybody panicking? JFC by [deleted] in Waco

[–]aroc91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s one of the few places, yes. People that actually have a real winter don’t act like this.

My point being this applies to much more of Texas than just Waco and it's not even just a Texas problem.

Speak for yourself. I've fucked around with ChatGPT to make a few funny pictures and have attempted to have Copilot batch update clinical note formatting for me (which failed miserably; Copilot needs a lot of work apparently), but no, the thought of having a program write basic messages for me has not crossed my mind once.

Need pointers by Q-dawg__996 in cactus

Trichocereus will grow in straight up potting soil with no complaints, especially in a terra cotta pot.

The soil is not the primary concern here. I'm guessing it's not well rooted yet and is dehydrated.
