  They’ll find that most of the peeps keeping the automation from turning itself inside out are also workers.

  I would take the acoustic, then I wouldn’t have to supply my own cards to put in the spokes every time!

  Seriously though cargo bike rental sounds like a pipe dream, too bad they roads where I am wouldn’t be able to handle such a thing by design!

  There was a fire at one of my local (Canadian) ones, and it seemed like it was closed rebuilding for almost a year, I’m wondering how much delay was investigation and how much was remediation.

  Burnt plastics is one of the more rancid things I’ve come across in my industrial career.

  My attention drifts too much when I drive auto, I prefer the extra thinking and functions that manual driving needs.

  For those with a similar view on the subject, keep in mind motorcycles are still almost exclusively manual shift in North America, so when stick shift is basically dead, there is somewhere to go, technically.

  I mean, there’s other kinds of public mental health institutions than full inpatient.

  Why not have, say, a location with publicly-reimbursed psychiatrists and psychologists, where a person goes for an appointment?

  I got what you mean, I was just agreeing with you, I don’t correct anyone until at least 2 hours after getting out of bed anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Redditor when women⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  TL:DR for the folks at home:

  “The things the women in your life are doing, is providing service for the people around them….”

  “Women also want a break, but we don’t get one if no one in our lives gives us one. [note: or if we take it, with all the risks that may or may not entail.]

  No, it’s not just women; yes, it often is women due to social factors.

  When I clear a few time-sensitive projects, a Jellyfin deep dive is probably in the works.

  Then yeah, the waiting on the vet sucks but is the best plan. He may need an anti-nausea med. Call them if the email hasn’t been answered by a reasonable time (say after 4-6 hours of their posted opening time today.) Emails are less time sensitive than a phone call.

  Food can be swapped or supplemented with plain baked or boiled chicken, rice, and puréed pumpkin (NOT pie filling!) if they’ll take it.

  My vet gives a probiotic any time she prescribes an antibiotic now, it’s called Fortiflora and it’s a packet you sprinkle over their food. Maybe ask about something like that?

  My dog taking chemo also has a standing prescription for an anti-nausea drug. If it’s this constant for your dog, you should ask your vet about options for the next couple of week.

  This is the literal only reason I haven’t tuned in. I’m not signing up and keeping track of yet another streaming service, especially one that’s only has one thing I want to watch. This show is the only one I’m actually missing right now.

  I will say, I’ve been getting a lot more useful things done once I started cancelling streaming services that I hadn’t watched anything on in months.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is has all the nutrients the body needs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  My cats will try and murder me for these, they give no shits about any other crackers or human non-meat food, but I’ve had one literally try and eat one out of my mouth. Makes me question what’s really in them….

  Industrial maintenance here, I try and give only Starfleet Estimates when management sniffs around for their broken-ass machines back.
