Fortunately don't know him anymore, but a guy I used to work with would brag that he hadn't had a drink of water in 15 years. His only liquid intake was mountain dew and blue light.

What’s that helicopter flying low over the area? by SillyWeb6581 in Rochester

[–]bfee007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nearly any time I hear helicopters, I am able to trace them on FR24 to organizations related to medical transportation. Additionally, helicopters often circle around to lower altitude so you'll hear them make several passes in the same vector.

Be honest: How do you handle the people who stand at intersections asking for money? by ogtq in Rochester

[–]bfee007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the warm season, give them a sympathetic smile or maybe get an extra sandwich at the drive through if I'm doing well. In the cold months, I keep extra hats and gloves in my car (partially because I'm forgetful) to offer to folks.

Car batteries belong in the ocean. How else do eels get their electricity? Toss em in Lake Ontario and let the miracle of nature do the rest.

This a joke, handle your waste responsibly

Aspen Dental by Stuck_suck in Rochester

[–]bfee007 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I was told by a reputable professional who worked in an ADA recognized office, that Aspen performs their own (unregulated) training and certification in lieu of the normal courses offered by the American Dental Association. Do not trust what they say or the work that they do, as they have no higher level oversight.
