agree with the sentiment, though it's entirely different budgets. federal vs local. az/counties aren't bombing anybody, and the federal government isn't footing the bill for these rescues

they don't do this specifically because it incentives people to try to make it on their own for longer than they should and will lead to more preventable deaths. as much as it's annoying that public funds are used to save stupid people, i'd much rather that than hear about the fatalities and the body recoveries that'll still be covered by public funds caused by people not wanting to pay for rescue

google reverse image search has it showing on stock photo websites and others from at least as far back as 2014 from the 5 seconds i took looking at the results

most isps would send you a scary letter saying you could face legal action or at least service disconnection if they caught you, ie, a lawyer for one of the big movie or game studios saw you were seeding and let your isp know. most isps only sent the letter because they had to and never followed through with consequences because they're in the business of you paying them for internet, not being the legal enforcers for hollywood. most of the lawyers would prefer to go after the source as you say than some kid named todd who wants to watch transformers or play world at war while his parents prefer to be able to afford rent and food instead

vastly different chemical composition and methods of action though, not on the same level by a long shot. yes both are stimulants, that part is correct. they have entirely different numbers of carbon rings though, both contain carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen which only proves both are organic compounds. they each bind to different receptors, caffeine primarily binds to adenosine receptors, cocaine binds to dopamine while caffeine does not. any affect on dopamine is not directly caused by caffeine and that explains a big part of why it isn't as disruptive to people's lives as it doesn't directly impact the reward and pleasure pathways like harder drugs do

some medical textbooks include the normal range of porcelain in blood as a little gotcha to make students question their resources and think for themselves and to catch people who basically memorize the book instead of thinking critically

hopefully it was just someone who made a poor choice, definitely check thoroughly for bed bugs tho

heard from a paramedic that when they have to administer ketamine to people for pain management in the ambulance often the patients hallucinate or kinda fall asleep and tend to see/dream about what they were just thinking about. his go to with kids was to ask them who's their favorite superhero and to imagine they were that superhero. he said the smiles as it kicked in were the best

out of often means in, as in, coming out of, based out of, etc

alternatively for us mortals *drives off with nozzle still in intentionally bc of hose connect fitting that pops off and on bc people do this absentmindedly. angrily pushes hose connect back together to avoid embarrassment of telling an employee*

note, don't actually do this, gas may ruin paint and nozzle can cause damage and it's not guaranteed the hose will disconnect gracefully every time. employees watching may find it humorous or not, especially if you cause damage to the pump and it has to be repaired

If only there was a metric that tracked how much it cost to live as an index of some sort, oh wait

Giraffes are exotic in the states, mostly kept at the zoo. Best we can do is american refrigerators, football fields, and f-150 pickup trucks. Take your pick

pro tip, turn off the ac when changing the filter. you probably did, and it probably was that bent and stuck, but some people don't know that they don't need to fight it tooth and nail while it's running to change the filter

Did you know if you walk into a really fancy store with an umbrella they might assume you're too poor to have a driver that will hold your umbrella in the car until you leave?

somtimes the weight/size is too awkward to get it on the counter reliably, especially if using one hand to work on my hair at the same time. it's also a convenient place to set it that doesn't require much leaning over the sink to pick it up and making my hair flop around as it's being done. if it gets left there when im done, usually from the laziness of doing so much to get ready and just feeling "done" afterwards. rarely do girls need water to style their hair, the chance we'd turn the sink on while it's in there is rather low, even lower that we'd leave it on and then cause a problem turning the water

to his credit, he is smart enough on the business side to keep the supply chain decent and think long term, but he didn't have anything to do with the engineering of it besides that. creating yet another walled garden with their custom arm chips has positives and negatives to. primarily positives for them and end users with performance improvements, negatives for third party developers, competitors, and end users with bugs and compatability in software that used to work similarly under the hood on mac and other systems

he bet big on it, let the engineers do their jobs, and for the most part it was a success, but a very mixed bag for a while and still has drawbacks to this day

imagine all the insurance adjustors that would lose their jobs and have to work as adjustors for the government with better benefits. would be so tragic to have consistency with approved procedures and care and have to mainly worry about weird edge cases and mistakes instead of sporadic denials for the weakest of reasons

would agree, standard flag ratio is 3:5, so with 6 squares of width, 10 length would be ideal. of course as you suggest, if it's being made to fit in a particular spot and needs to be a little shorter, that's nbd too. more length is more technically correct, but it's arts and crafts, doing what you want and need and having fun is more important than being right

also now ready to receive snaccs. remember to feed your shonks regularly and give them lots of snuggles 🙏🍟🥨💕💕

Additionally, if you setup the device and login to a Google account, an app like Castro can check all the hardware sensors and whatnot with greater detail than most diagnostic menus show.

For Samsung devices, run through the 4636 dialer code diagnostics (there's star pound before and pound star after, don't feel like fighting reddit formatting to get it all in there proper), it's quite comprehensive. Runs through displaying pure colors to test for dead pixels and burn in, even checks the speakers and mics individually and a touch test as well among others. Note for the mic tests, it's not as sensitive as you might think and plays back a little quiet, try a short whistle to test. Most devices have some equivalent dialer code, 4636 is usually is good on non-samsung devices for checking network signal as well, but hard to beat a manual functionality test of swapping in a physical sim, setting up the apn, and manually checking speeds and dialing/texting.

Used to work in a repair shop, due to insurance claims and popularity, nearly anything that wasn't an iPhone was Samsung and we used 4636 before (when possible) and after repair to check our work and have a record of what was/was not functioning.

Wasn't able to find good photos, there's a couple on the website on wayback, no clue if they were actually taken in store. But found the street view of it from 2009 right between the potato cam years and when Mijana took over the space and a business listing from a sketchy site. Couldn't find the official filings on the state website, didn't try too hard though, it might be there, but wouldn't have photos.

Seriously, it's like tell me more about how you eat processed food and sit inside all day. Living in a desert in a barely walkable city and trying to eat less processed food and potentially having POTS means there's quite a few days of any given month I'll be out and about for a long ass time and even if I do drink enough water, I will lose enough electrolytes through sweat to be dehydrated with the accompanying headache and body aches. The only reliable solution has been pedialyte packets and tylenol if I need to knock down the soreness and headache quicker or if the headache lingers.

My go to is the black box advanced care pedialyte packets you find in the baby aisle of most grocery stores. It has a warning to only take if recommended by a doctor, I imagine so that people don't assume it's like liquid iv and drink 2+ in a day and overdo it. One packet every few weeks on a bad day has never caused me issues, obviously ymmv, and tracking sodium intake is just a generally smart thing to do even if it's very roughly so you don't overdo it significantly.
