No that was a separate piece of kit. You got the triangle, the compass, and the ruler in the same color plastic. If you were real cool your compass had like a ruler attached to it to make drawing the lines easier.

Seriously, just, no.
Because not only all of that other stuff, but you’re also extremely unlikely to be the first person to suggest it.
A buddy of mine is constantly being told she just needs to go out and exercise a little more, or take this supplement or that supplement, or see a fucking chiropractor. She has been for as long as I’ve known her. She doesn’t remember the last time she heard something unique. Though the number times she’s been told to just get a spinal adjustment for an autoimmune disease is frightening.

My guy, being fat is not the same as having a hard to pin down chronic illness.
I say this as a guy who does not remember a day where I wasn’t concerned about my weight, who only recently managed to drop from obese to over weight. You can fix being fat. You can fix fat with diet and exercise. You can’t fix “maybe lupus? Maybe MCTD? I dunno it’s probably autoimmune? We’re going to need to order more tests” with diet, exercise, magic crystals, or whatever other random bullshit people like to suggest.

Generally if you’re talking to someone with a chronic illness, and you think you have an idea of something that might help: A, it won’t, and 2, they’ve already tried it or C, they physically can’t.

It happens multiple times in Star Trek. They kind of breeze by it but Riker was so infatuated with his holodeck girlfriend when he was captured by Romulans they thought she was a real person.
Thing is, it never seemed unbelievable in Star Trek. Just, a kinda weird thing that people will do.

- Comment on White Maleman, cooking YouTuber, loves to tell you what to do 1 month ago:
A class of barbarous thugs with titles were rampaging around Europe, so in an effort to send them somewhere else, the Pope asked for them to band together to recapture the Holy Land. As these thugs were highly religious, the plan worked! The knights mostly left Europe to be slaughtered by middle easterners. It also backfired! A new group of noble thugs emerged, but these ones said they were there to protect pilgrims. This lead to extortion and corruption, and many of these thugs would go on to be slaughtered by middle easterners. And eventually they were all slaughtered by other Europeans when they became too politically powerful.
The given justification was that the wrong religion has control over a particular piece of rock.
- Comment on HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron 1 month ago:
A lay off is generally broad in scope. A department might get laid off.
Firings are usually with cause and individual. You are fired for showing up late every day. You’re laid off when they simply don’t need you anymore.
This varies from state to state across the US and probably only applies here, but if you’re fired with cause, you generally don’t get unemployment benefits. If you’re laid off you might get a severance on top of unemployment.
Particularly shitty companies will always fire as many people as they can prior to a lay off. A big part of HR’s job at these organizations is making sure they have a case to fire as many people as possible at any given time. If you’ve ever worked in any call center in the US, you’ve been subjected to this, knowingly or not. They’ll document a handful of even the slightest grievances and make sure they have two in the chamber at any given time for any given employee, so if it looks like they need to get rid of a lot of people in the near future they’ll start digging for a third infraction.

I work around forklifts.
No.
By virtue of there being a lot more of them cars are killing more people, but forklifts are far more dangerous, relatively.
More car accidents happen by virtue of there being a lot more cars than forklifts. There are about 35000 forklift injuries every year in the US, 90 or so are fatal. Of roughly 800,000 forklifts in operation that gives you roughly a 4% chance for serious injury from any given forklift per year. This does not include non injury accidents which, conservatively, happen at least 10 times as frequently. That would be things like dropping a load or damaging a safety barricade.
Motor vehicle crashes, and this includes everything from minor fender benders to fatalities, are around 6 million a year. Out of 285 million cars on the road that’s about a 2% chance per vehicle.
Forklifts aren’t capable of anything quickly. Less so under load. Loads are frequently unsecured or poorly secured. Unlike a car, they’re not only interacting with the road, they’re interacting with shelving, pallets of shit, conveyors, and the people around them, and the people driving them are just as likely to be drunk or stoned as anyone on the road is.
Of the 6 forklift incidents I’ve seen in the last 5 years, 2 involved a driver who was able to pass a drug test after.
1 was an injury, that individual lost her leg below the knee. The rest were all loads being flung in new and exciting ways, in one case throwing the operator forward out of the lift. (Standing lift). In all other cases that no one was injured was purely luck that no one happened to be nearby when it happened. Our facility is on the good end of the bell curve for forklift incidents. They’re much more common in other facilities.
- Comment on Cutting sucks 1 month ago:
Actively exercising only burns slightly more calories than just sitting around existing does.
CICO works to an extent, but human bodies are shockingly efficient machines. What you eat is important, why and how you eat are important. Losing weight and keeping it off can be hard.
Adding exercise is great for a lot of reasons. If you aren’t getting regular exercise you really should. But one of those reasons is certainly not weight loss. You might even gain weight.
