    Perhaps you are unaware of the negative history of a psycho bitch named Mary Poppins?  We can't have that bullshit in our state, nosiree.

    I met Mary Poppins one morning at Disney World.  Bitch we're on vacation, my kids can have whip cream and chocolate chips on their waffles if they want and IDGAF about the calories when it's going to be 90+ by noon and 95% humidity. They will sweat it off and be fine. Damn.

    That's horse blood.  You can see briefly where it's most wet and appears to be flowing out.  Horses almost never trample people if there is enough space to avoid it.  They have fragile legs and enough self-preservation instinct to steer clear of people in their way, especially ceremonial horses.  

    Used to work with a horse trainer that did a lot of work with the mounted officers in Austin.  Now THOSE, are some damn well trained horses/riders.  In the event of a riot, they can stand nose to tail and form a wall and sidestep and entire crowd off the street if they have to.  

    That's a sad video of a couple of scared, wounded animals.

    When I was a kid we had a horse that would step on your foot on purpose when you tried to brush him. He was a jerk.

    The O.J. Simpson Saga Began 20 Years Ago Today — Here's Why His Son Should Be A Suspect

    Quote

     

    Dear concludes that O.J. didn't kill his ex-wife and her friend — but he did visit the scene of the crime shortly after it occurred — and that evidence suggests his son Jason (who was 24 at the time) did it in a rage killing.

    In January 1994, six months before the killings, Jason went to the emergency room because he heard voices of people who weren't there and said he felt as if he was "going to rage" because he ran out of Depakote. He stopped taking Depakote two months before the murders.

     

    In his past, Jason had nearly killed a girlfriend (with a knife) and almost seriously injured another in fits of rage (whereas O.J. has been accused of domestic abuse, but he has never been arrested for assault and was not prone to use weapons to settle a dispute).

    A lot of people say GMOs in wheat and other produce have triggered severe allergic conditions in people predisposed, but I like to think it’s nature punishing humans for veering too far from our carnivore roots. Nobody ever got a life threatening reaction to brisket or a ribeye in their shoe!

    The boy that goes to our dance studio has alpha-gal and has to wear synthetic dance shoes because even just contact with leather fucks him up.

  5. Maybe ten or so years ago (was 35 then) I was having some stomach/chest area pain and the Dr ordered me to get scoped from both ends. When they started getting me ready for the procedure I asked the nurse if they would come in from the top first. Luckily she told me they used different cameras... Anyway, turned out my gallbladder had quit working (not stones, just quit). Had run through several tests and scans before they finally figured it out. The worst part was they made me wait until I farted before I could leave. And they had to be there for it. 

    Oh, and my gastro doctor looked like Bo Pelini.

    I would rather work 4x12 hrs than 4x8.  Team ran a model back in 2008 and it worked well.

    We lose so much time going back and forth, stupid meetings, talking shit at the watercooler, and no time to do laundry.

    If you're only going to put in an 8 hour day why even bother starting? 

     

    I'm in a six person group that covers a 24/7 control room. We work (roughly) 7 on - 7 off  twelve hour shifts and it is awesome. Out of the 6 week rotation I work 2 weekend shifts and one week of nights.  Work days are long and there isn't much time after work for family things but I get 21 days off in a six week rotation.

    Should have gotten a clear shot of his license plate, pulled up along side him, tap the horn to make him look over or take the headset off, and then posted it on social media.

    This guy got pulled over

    Tesla driver pulled over after wearing new Apple vision glasses on highway

    The man filmed himself getting pulled over while driving and wearing the $3,500 Apple VR headset.

    The release of Apple's high-end Vision Pro headset, priced at $3,500, made waves on Friday, but one user's video demonstration had police pulling him over.

    A user named Dante took to X, previously known as Twitter, to share a video of himself driving a Tesla with the Apple Vision Pro covering his eyes, on Friday, the same day the headset was released.

    The brief clip showed Dante driving down a highway, visibly interacting with a screen visible only through the virtual headset, while his hands are off the wheel.

    The video abruptly transitioned to Dante being pulled over by the police, with lights flashing behind him as he sits in a parking lot.

    Although the location and the specific police department are unspecified, Dante's Twitter profile indicates he lives in Palo Alto, California.

    Apple's safety guidelines explicitly prohibit using the Vision Pro headset while operating a moving vehicle or engaging in activities that require attention to safety.

    The company's website advises against using the headset while driving, riding a bicycle, operating heavy machinery, or in similar situations.

    The Vision Pro headset, was announced alongside the iPhone 15 series in September.

    In addition to the base price, customers have the option to purchase upgrades such as additional storage and $149 prescription inserts.

    Powered by VisionOS, touted as "the world's first spatial operating system," the Vision Pro headset introduces spatial computing, seamlessly integrating virtual content into the physical environment to enable intuitive interaction between humans and technology.

     

  8. I mean, to be honest did I sleep through a lot of my industrial materials class back in the day (c'mon it was at 07:30). But I do know that a decent stainless steel should be ok in weather. Yeah it might get some kind of patina but it shouldn't rust.

     

    *What I think I know* about shitty stainless is that it has a lot more iron in it and is susceptible to rusting. And one clue to figuring out if your piece of stainless is shitty is if it is magnetic.

    Yeah I guess my take is while I like to laugh at marks of the snake oil sales man, they are still marks. In this case, I do feel some sadness for them. It's their choice, but do they know what they're actually buying. I don't know the answer.

    I'm not feeling sad for dudes getting paid to play football and slay Colorado co-eds.
