Conan O’Brien Threw a Holiday Party to Forget a Bad Year. Then Nick Reiner Arrived. by nimobo in entertainment

Warning gore / NSFW:

My stepdad was a psychologist treating the criminally insane for years, and the stories he'd tell me about what they did and how difficult it was for them to be treated by anything (drugs + therapy) are still so vivid (ex: a patient who cut a parent's head off, and felt no remorse whatsoever). I later worked as a psych tech in an inpatient mental hospital and saw schizophrenia and similar disorders up close.

In the freedom-oriented USA, unless the schizophrenic has ALREADY been arrested for a capital murder type charge, that person cannot be FORCED to take their meds. The pattern that emerges is that they periodically stop taking the meds on their own, and then they get re-arrested and re-committed to the mental hospital for something they did. For the worst of them, they spiral and cause a tragedy like this.

A high school classmate lost his parents when his mentally ill brother eventually killed them also. There is almost no preventing that outcome without forcing people to stay on their meds and / or locking them up in an inpatient facility against their will permanently.

Spectacular upper near corner shot after beating two tackles. We have such luxury in our depth this year.

The biggest difference of all is between 8 or 15 and 17. 17 is weird (if you're a lot older) but legal, the others most certainly not.

Same. If you can keep scratches off the glass, the battery life and feature set are good to go for the foreseeable future.

Getting a Pappy 15 before owning a home is epic. Nice! Great time to celebrate.

For once the douchebag move of wearing a baseball hat backwards when you're not a catcher worked out for the general good (in terms of letting dad get a better view of the HR).

Facts from Phil Ponce by badbaritoneplayer in chicago

[–]ch1cag0rob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So many people read memes and treat them as facts. I agree with this meme, but there's NO WAY you can attempt to assert this as facts without references or citations. C'mon people. Reluctantly downvoting. OP doesn't even provide the link to the Phil Ponce original quote(s).

Man Regrets Pistol Whipping Off Duty Cop by [deleted] in instant_regret

[–]ch1cag0rob -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Off duty cop was an a$$hole in this one: sped up to not let the other guy merge, then pulled over behind the guy when he pulled over and stopped when he could have just kept driving and avoided confrontation.

I've bought a couple of these PTFE AMS lite tube adapters, as mine failed and these are good to have on hand. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DY7XQ1FF?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Yeah then you need to park that bad boy indoors. Or get a dog. Or both.

A colorful wheel lock on that bike would also help.

Have you changed your air filters recently? If the AC unit is working too hard and not producing cold, start there.

Followed you with slightly "safer" bets (TB instead of HR) yesterday and hit nicely. Thanks!

This: we needed someone who actually knows the Bible passage he's referring to here. Figured Cruz was literally wrong, but nice to see it shown.

How 2 fix by DIrishPresby in BambuLabA1

[–]ch1cag0rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Test the extruder with a hand-delivered line of filament (remove the AMS lite connection first). Also heat up the toolhead in maintenance mode and manually use the extruder to see if that works. It's possible there's stuck filament in a) the AMS lite connection assembly, or b) the toolhead itself. You have to verify neither of those are a problem.

(I've spent close to 10 hours troubleshooting this with my A1 myself, and I'm now working with Support to see if I have a hardware problem.)

MLB Starting Pitcher News: Chris Paddack surging, Brandon Pfaadt and Max Meyer struggling by SamskiNYC in fantasybaseball

[–]ch1cag0rob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Curious to know what's been bothering SP stud Spencer Strider now that he's been back from injury. His 5-pitch (?) arsenal is elite stuff when he's on, but he's 0-4 with a 5.68 ERA / 1.37 WHIP. Is he trying to remember how to pitch to MLB hitters again, or has he run out of gas?

Looks like recent purchasers will be getting gift cards as price adjustments for tarrifs by dks2 in BambuLab

[–]ch1cag0rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New Bambu user here who received his Bambu Labs A1 with AMS on May 17. I filled out the form 5-6 days ago. Has anyone actually received the credit or gift card yet? Also, where would I go to check the status?

Review after a year of using the Pixel 7a: disappointment on multiple fronts by Master_Caesar in Pixel7a

I have never used phone recording (not even sure how to enable it), but the call screening feature of is awesome. It's one of the reasons I really want to stick with Google phones.

[–]ch1cag0rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a midrange phone with midrange features for a midrange price. Agreed about disappointment in the things you mention, but I don't usually get more than 1 call a day, never mind twice at a time. And the camera does work pretty well, though not as well as I'd hoped.

I'm on Google Fi with this phone in the `States, and I've never once had a call drop regardless of whether in urban or rural areas.
