Started a YouTube Music ‘radio’ list based on Avenge Sevenfold’s ‘The Wicked End’ in the operating room a few weeks ago, and after a couple hours of the algorithm digging its own rabbit hole, it phased itself out of that kind of alternative rock in favor of The Hu and viking sea shanties and just weird shit leading to weirder shit.

Fuckin loved it. Doc wasn’t a fan; circulating nurse thought it was funny and refused to change it. 10/10.

For those who haven’t played it, they’re featured as an actual in-game band. They pop up a couple times, but here’s the intro:

Iirc, the law specifies exposure of the female nipple and areola as the things that are indecent…

So… get some titty tassels with a large enough sticker plate to completely cover your areola, and you’re 100% legal!

 

You may consider also carrying a taser.

It’s the doppler effect, but with light instead of sound, and for the same reason.

Thing emits sound/light waves at a constant rate: sound/light waves hit you at a constant rate.

Thing continues to emit the same sound/light at the same rate, but starts to move toward you: sound/light waves hit you at a faster rate, causing the sound/light to turn higher-pitched/bluer.

Thing continues to emit the same sound/light at the same rate, but starts to move away from you: sound/light waves hit you at a slower rate, causing the sound/light to turn lower-pitched/redder.

Taco Bell has always been a particular case of “how the fuck are they still in business??” …on top of way over priced, subpar quality, and subpar taste, they sell a product in a saturated market, and nearly all of their competitors are better.

Even if we’re talking shitty fast food, there are dozens of Taco Bell like chains, and almost all of them are better than or at least equal to Taco Bell.

And outside of shitty fast food, actual Mexican food is all over the place. To include more authentic taquarias that usually sell tacos and burritos for like half of what Taco Bell does and their product is fucking delicious. We have one of those near were I live - right across the street from a Taco Bell… and every day Taco Bell has a line around the fucking building, while the cheaper, better, and ready-to-take-your-order place is right fucking there! Drives me insane.

I could have sworn there was a mod for one of the GTA games that replaces the model/skin of the grenades with can of biscuit dough. You’d throw it, it’d roll and do nothing for a sec, then there would be no actual explosion, but that muffled splat sound the cans make and some dough would squeeze out from the seams.

…but the everything else responded normally as they would to a grenade; so a can of biscuit dough popping would still send people ragdolling away from it, cause cars to explode, etc.

Maybe it was just a parody gif someone made and not an actual mod? I can’t find it. Q_Q

…it’d be nice if these folks who have their epiphany actually stay republican, and use their position to instigate some critically needed reform. It doesn’t actually have to be the party of regressivism, hatred, and bigotry. Granted, remove those things (and the feel-good wrapping paper they use to package those things) and there’s not a whole lot left to work with… but if you can find even a few gems to pick out of the sewage, that’s enough to campaign on. Build something new from there. Call out your extremist peers for what they are and save your fucking party.

*knife splits entire scene*

“…and it IS cake!!”

Poor buddy probably thinks he’s getting a juicy grape.

Now that was just sour.

AI sexbots are already here. “AI” has become a synonym for just “artificial”, the “intelligence” bit seems to only be there for marketing purposes.

Fortunately you don’t need to!

Upon sneeze initiation of non-voluntary inhalation and the iconic “Ah-” you can consciously react with a valsalva maneuver* of the airway by retracting your tongue up toward your nasopharynx - try it now while exhaling, and if done correctly your exhale should be fully blocked and you’ll feel a slight pressure increase in your head. Doing this after that inhalation portion of a sneeze will similarly block the “-choo!” half, keeping the air and slurry of snot and pathogens all internal, at the cost of making yourself subtable to the consequences listed in OP’s article.

*not to be confused with a valsalva maneuver of the GI tract, which can cause hernias and a vasovagal response that dips your blood pressure and can make you pass out

With increased size comes a reduction in mobility, increased difficulty in reproduction and maintenance of life. And an increased perception in them being a threat.

A car sized spider would be pretty much immobile, and by that size, a tactical target that would be fairly easy to hunt to extinction.

The bigger the better.

Counterargument: the big ones are much easier to notice and squash. It’s the tiny fucker that just slipped under the collar of your shirt without alerting you that you need to worry about.

I’m sure that itch you just felt was all in your head.

I can’t believe two Kennedys were assassinated, and this guy isn’t one of them.

I made that mistake several times, but iirc it was always a recoverable error. When I stuck that hot loop into the agar it would sizzle, which would tell me I just murdered every bacterium that loop touched; so resterilize actually allow it to cool this time, and repeat the botched step in a slightly different location to pass through a section of bacteria that I hadn’t just dropped a nuke on.

…which is probably shitty technique, but it got me good enough results to get good enough data for class.

More like a giant alveolus. But inside out. With a giant sphincter in the middle. That poops light.

Grok is evolving

…as measured by the number of slurs it tells to minorities, or what?

Pretty much. It’s like a little wire loop - sterilize it with a bunsen burner, let it cool, then take a swab from your source specimen and drag it into your agar for that section 1. Sterilize it again with the burner, cool, then drag through the last couple lines of 1 to get region 2. Repeat for 3 and again for 4. The sample size of individual microbes gets exponentially fewer each time - done correctly and region 4 is dotted with individual cells, which you leave alone for a while to incubate, then come back and start making your observations like how it’s interacting with the agar, what color, texture etc; smear it onto a microscope slide, see how it responds to different stains, it’s shape, it’s arrangement… then start checking all those findings against known properties of different microbes until you find a match.
