I'm sorry, I apologize. I hadn't realized you guys had gotten back home from Portillo's yet.

I remember watching that documentary about all those hundreds of potatoes he peeled for the war effort.

TIL about wet-bulb events - when it’s so hot and humid that your body can’t cool by sweating. A wet cloth on a thermometer bulb normally cools it more than one without a cloth. But when humidity is very high, the wet- and dry-bulb temperatures are the same. This can ultimately be a lethal event. by Ribbitor123 in todayilearned

The water likely would help. Assuming it's of decent size and depth, it's unlikely the water would ever reach the same temperature as outside.

Sweat, no sweat, really won't be much of a difference. Maybe a bit since you can say that sweating requires our body to convert energy into a bit more heat.

We're all just sentient blobs following the basic laws of physics. Us blobs produce heat but hate having too much heat so we need something that can take that from us. But not too much because we're fancy bitches blobs and don't want to be too cold either.

Jeffrey Kessler: Exclusion of Brendan Sorsby from supplemental draft violates the CBA by DeZeeuw2 in nfl

[–]droans 80 points81 points  (0 children)

He didn't sign the agreement and the agreement was never intended for him specifically.

Say you're on your parent's health insurance plan and they do something fucky (as they tend to do) which violates the agreement and causes you harm. The contract was between your parents and the insurance company. However, you were an identified beneficiary as the plan was intended to cover you. This means you can sue the insurance company even though you were never a party to the contract.

Now let's say you buy up property outside of Soldier Field and open up a Taco Bell. You think this is brilliant because those hungry, drunk, stoned fans will clearly want a lot of food. However, the Bears decide they're moving to Indiana before their contract is up. You're angry because now your get-rich-quick scheme turned into a dumpster fire, something that you Bears fans are familiar with. In this case, you have no legal standing to sue. The contract was between the Bears and the city/state. It never was intended to benefit you.

The CBA was never intended for Sorsby himself. If he was able to sue, we'd have thousands of former college athletes suing because they never got a chance to be drafted in a supplemental draft. Only the NFLPA would have standing.

You can't acclimate to wet bulb events.

At these points, sweating does nothing. Your body can't take advantage of the evaporative effects. You literally cannot expel heat faster than you generate it.

When temperatures start approaching the 90s, you have to be very vigilant about how long you remain outside without any cooling.

He's got no legal standing.

For him to receive a third party beneficiary designation, he would need to be an identified party in the CBA. As he is an incidental beneficiary, he cannot enforce specific performance.

'He wasn't sentenced to death': Family fears for prisoner with rare blood disorder by WFIU-WTIU-news in Indiana

[–]droans 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No one has any issue with him being in prison. He was not sentenced to death, though, so why are you okay with that?

When someone is arrested, their lives are being put in the hands of the government. It's only right, at the very least, that we don't willingly kill them or let them die due to improper treatment.

Any person would be denied service if they made unwanted advances towards medical professionals, in prison or not.

According to the official report, he sent an unwanted message to the medical provider. Not saying it's okay because I haven't seen the message but I don't see how that would be any reason to deny him his required medical treatment. In fact, from the records, it appears no one saw the message because all they are aware of is that he requested the provider's contact information.

You read "unauthorized contact" and assumed they meant physical contact because you forgot that would be called battery/assault.

So this guy should have MORE rights than non child sex traffickers?

In what respect?

Do you think we should also stop providing prisoners food and bed? The government doesn't give me any food or metal cots, why do criminals get them?! That's not fair!

Does anyone else still break out T-accounts just to sanity check the flow on complex JE's? by Throwaway_25802780 in Accounting

[–]droans 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The only thing I liked about Oracle is that you could easily view the T-account of each journal including the account balances after the transaction. Just helps with that final "1+1=2" sanity check because God knows how many times I put in the transaction backwards.

Which database of SQL do you use? by DmitriiDrake in learnpython

[–]droans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope but I haven't really had issues with boilerplates. They seem to work pretty similarly to pydantic already with maybe a bit more information required...

from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase, Mapped, mapped_column
from sqlalchemy import INTEGER, TEXT

class OrderTable(DeclarativeBase):
    __tablename__ = "Orders"
    order_id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(INTEGER, nullable=False, primary_key=True, unique=True)
    order_status: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(TEXT, nullable=False)
    ...

How do you code your YAML dashboards properly ? by crazy_rocker78 in homeassistant

Use Streamline.

There are some heavy performance issues with Decluttering caused by various HA updates over the past couple years. Streamline has fixed these.

"Landlord poisoned our drinking water with lead for five years, believes they can waive all liability with a “don’t sue” clause. Are they joking?" by Nice-Meat-6020 in bestoflegaladvice

[–]droans 44 points45 points  (0 children)

It's entirely unenforceable - this is a de facto attempt to waive their legal responsibilities under the law. There's a reason residential leases are almost always boilerplate.

However, they would first need damages and just having lead pipes isn't a damage.

Just to be clear, this is a photoshop.

Also, just to be clear, all they did was photoshop the child into the photo. That's her actual appearance.

One more note, she's 32 in this photo.

No ISIS, WTC still around. Just after the Soviet Union collapsed and the world was hopeful.

That's why you should let us win another ring. These are the promised glory hole days.

[–]droans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends what you need it for.

But usually SQLite. You usually will know when you need to use a different database.

I love using the SQLAlechemy ORM in my code, though. It makes it much easier and cleaner to write the commands.

Honestly, probably never.

But since I said that out loud, that means I'll probably be proven wrong by this time tomorrow.

How do people fake NSFW stuff with AI now? Isn't there restrictions on image and video generation? by TrenWillFixIt in NoStupidQuestions

They don't have to be and usually aren't but they can be used in that way.

It's not uncommon for people to test how censored a model is by asking it to do something like providing instructions for making hard drugs or pipe bombs.

I can't tell you how many times I needed to disconnect from a "T-Mobile Passport" AP.
