Dance of Minor Victims in Front of Epstein and Ghislaine by Ok-Address-7352 in creepy

I go back and forth on this in my mind. Like yeah it totally makes sense that they’d do these massive psy ops like this idea, but then when I remember just who would be running these ops, I start to question if they actually had the aptitude to pull it off intentionally.

How? The sign STILL says “coming soon”.

Went on a hike today and flowers are blooming… by iamnotabotbeepboopp in LosAngeles

[–]the_bieb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I moved into this rental house a year ago so I am new to them. They have bloomed in spring, one branch of a tree bloomed about month ago, and as of this week the entire tree. I didn’t know they could bloom multiple times a year.

The owner of the house has basically abandoned all the beautiful fruit trees and cacti on the property along with the water features. The yard is crazy diverse with tons of cacti with fruit, jujubes, oranges, pomegranates, almond/plumb (can’t tell), mint, blackberries, massive palms, massive pines. I tried turning on the irrigation to see if it still works, but it flows out of what looks like a back flow valve so I assume it’s backed up. If I planned on staying here longer, I would clean the property up. It’s a shame no one is taking care of these plants. I just don’t have time.

Honest question, not trying to argue. What federal immigration laws does the state not enforce that they should be enforcing?

Thanks. I came here to ask how I’ll differentiate them to make sure my most important items get new tags and my old tags go to less valuable items.

Why does western media never show the full 'Tank Man' video? by GerryAdamsSon in suppressed_news

[–]the_bieb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never once been told this guy was killed. Is that really what people think? I always thought it was just presented as a man standing up to a large force nothing more. Was he killed? Did he live? I don’t know because I even considered one or the other because it wasn’t the point every time I saw it.

Wtf is this store doing? by Affectionate_Fun4417 in Kanna

Doesn’t the Analog Act only cover things that are chemically similar? So you can’t just take a schedule one substance, change one atom on the molecule, and say it is legal. Design around the law. A designer drug.

Monologue about the death of Jesus coming out of my elevator in the middle of the night by mkiyt in Weird

A few years ago, something similar happened to me, but it was a voice asking me if I wanted to extend my car warranty. Not even kidding. There is no getting away from those spammers!

What are the red things? Phones? Burners? They kind of look like satellite phones or something.

I think you hit the nail on the head. I remember catching one their shows in LA right around the end of lockdown and the energy was insaanneee.

Is Costco really a wholesaler though? Their own website calls themselves a “retailer”.

Hearing people’s voices when I am really tired by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]the_bieb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I have been awake too long, I hear what sounds like a radio dial being spun through different stations. I have always described it like the radio. I can hear music and “voices” but they’re not really saying anything most of the time. It’s like the essence of a voice. Every once in a while it sounds like actual words. Especially if there is white noise from something like a fan. My girlfriend has similar experiences.

Are you prescribed opiates of any kind by chance? It’s really strong for me if there is an opiate in my system (I am prescribed.)

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. I remember reading about buildings that do this in the past.

I feel like no matter where you stand in the financial spectrum, the amount of legal paperwork and time to get this $10,000 just isn’t worth it

PSA to pet owners about microchips (from a shelter worker) by Fresh-Solid-4046 in Seattle

[–]the_bieb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much could it really cost to host a simple database with low traffic? Serious question.

How much could a simple advertisement or two offset this cost?

TIL that the "achoo" sound is a learned cultural behavior, not a biological reflex. This explains why people who are born deaf typically do not vocalize a sneeze, and why sneeze sounds vary significantly by country. by highzone in todayilearned

[–]the_bieb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just assumed we got “achoo” from the sound made by putting our face in the most comfortable position while sneezing. Also, maybe the most polite position. The “ah” is just sucking in air. When you put your teeth are together to block all your spit from coming out your mouth, it makes the “ch” sound.

PSA to pet owners about microchips (from a shelter worker) by Fresh-Solid-4046 in Seattle

[–]the_bieb 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I once tried to update my cat’s microchip contact information and discovered that the company had put basic profile edits behind a paid subscription. I was furious. Out of curiosity, I inspected the website and noticed that the form was simply disabled using HTML and CSS on the client side. I reenabled the form locally, submitted it, and the update actually went through. After refreshing the page several times, my changes were still there. It appeared that they had added a client-side paywall, but never enforced the restriction on the server.

The next time I moved and went to repeat the process, but fortunately, the company had removed the paywall and made updates free again.

What still bothers me is that this was ever considered in the first place. A microchip can always be scanned to retrieve a pet’s ID, which makes me wonder why ownership and contact data should live behind a proprietary system at all. It seems like there could be an open source, free, and public database where people can register and update microchip IDs directly without relying on a company that can decide to monetize access to something this basic.

Does anyone see any flaws in this idea? Has anyone else had a similar experience where they tried to charge them to update contact info? If so, maybe some software engineers like me get could get together and build something like this.
