Man, that kind of figures… I bet it was a PR campaign that they paid for. So in a way we all got value out of that lie… nope. No satisfying conclusion to be found here 😒

This is a common misconception in the U.S., it’s not even the car’s job… that crappy sticker has the shittiest union.

I’ll second Zenni, been ordering from them for 10+ years.

It’s nice to know there’s like 5 of us 🤣

I’m going to guess like ass!

In retrospect… yes.

I offered the story as a kind of parable (except not because I didn’t make it up) or random data point if you will, on pissing standing up.

I’m afraid I really have no answers for you… but then again I don’t think I’m your survey pool.

But I did once stay at a small hotel in Germany that had a sticker imploring male guess to sit and pee. I pissed all over that poor toilet before we left.

15 years later I feal guilt but also righteous indignation. I really hate being told what to do apparently… even when there are good reasons like another human being, asking you to not make their life hard 😞

A toothpaste that restores your enamel. It’s prescription in the US but you can get Apagard Premio off Amazon.

It’s probably a good idea to get some extra fluoride since the Apagard doesn’t have any. I use purple Listerine, but I kinda hate it, so find something you like.

You should floss, which I’m shitty at, so I use a water pick a few times a week. All kinds of nasty crap comes out, even after brushing, so it’s gotta be better than nothing.

I use a Philips Sonicare toothbrush, no need to get the fancy ones, it’s mostly extra accessories. There are probably less expensive ultrasonic toothbrushes out there that work well… doing it twice a day manually is probably better for you than once a day with a fancy toothbrush.

Hang in there, clinical trials of a drug that regrows teeth are underway and the results are promising.

About half the cab of a big rig hanging over the lane I was driving in.

880 North in California, early 2000’s around 2AM. South of Oakland driving in the fast lane, it was foggy and I was going a bit to fast. Then I started noticing a whole bunch of weird stuff all at once; 20+ cars pulled over on the shoulder with a cop car in front of them, small rocks? all over the road that rapidly became chunks of concrete a few inches in on a side, a whole ass sideways car — at this point I’m slowing and pulling out of the fast lane, as I finish the lane change I look back ahead just in time to see the cab of the big rig dangling over the fast lane from the other side of the freeway. It just appears out of the fog, I’m not sure my car would have cleared it if I had still been in the left lane. It had punched right through the concrete median (the rocks all over the freeway were debris from the collision). The southbound side of 880 is higher there, so it was at least 4-6 feet above the ground on my side.

Bonus: A different big rig with a 25 foot aluminum ladder stuck on one of the trailers feet. It was shooting a roster tail of white sparks another 15 feet, skipping around and making quite a bit of noise. Got a good look as I passed and it had clearly been hooked for a while, it was ground down a few inches where it was making contact.

LOL. Thanks for your service. I think you should let yourself off with time served ;-)

Resorting the same 50 posts different ways ;-)

So 214 people let the battery on their (USB Rechargeable) insulin pump die and reported it to the FDA…

Then again Tandem is kind of a shitty company. They based their algorithm in part on data from insulin pumps that had been returned to the manufacture for a software update. Without consent.

Switched from an industry standard luer-lock connector to a proprietary one after purchase. Then required all supply ordering to go through their own sales department and a single manufacturer.

Camped on the design for a small portable pump they patented back in 2012 until there was a viable competitor with innovative technology.

You know what… I think I have a phone call to make :-)

Honestly the best summary I’ve read so far and I actually downloaded the PDF 😬

That must be why it stopped working ;-)

Does 48 hours not getting a reverse proxy working count?

It’s FreeNAS and I don’t really hoast anything but the plex server… so 48 hours.

If deleting files counts 10 days a year, if not 1 day a year.

The first 2 computer repair shops I worked at both had nut-setters that someone had ground down on so they could be used to tighten or replace the screw bosses on a female VGA connector.

Kind of a pain in the dick honestly… but I can confirm that it was entirely possible to drag a full sized tower off a workbench by the VGA cable ;-)

Felt like a knee jerk response to climate change research to me.

The point was transparency, don’t try to distract from the issue.

Truly the peoples president ;-)

It’s sexy and a little funny at the same time?
