Always an impressive operation they have one peering point in San Francisco and their data centers historically consist of a church and shipping containers.
- Comment on What's the vaporization temperature of mouse urine? 7 months ago:
You pretty much either put so much heat into urea that it turns to ammonia and melts your plastic while doing so or you wait for some psuedomonas to eat it and turn it into ammonia. It technically starts vaporizing at above 130 C.

Any of the bug. I left i vague because I think there's still a chance for a disruptive force to enter the market.
- Comment on Google Is Killing Retro Dodo & Other Independent Sites 7 months ago:
That's the point. This entire thing is complaining about SEO. If your business model is serving ads with SEO and not retaining people with quality content, I'm not going to get too upset about it.
Google is killing itself with this shit, but it doesn't really matter. People will move back to Link aggregators and actually working to get the search results they need.

I do nothing but shit post and nobody's banned me yet. A whole lot of folks have blocked me though.

It needed breaking anyway. Let's make some rainbows.
- Comment on Have you ever seen coal in real life? 7 months ago:
It makes sense. Coal in English is a word that originally meant a burning ember and likely related to charcoal that we then changed to exclusively mean rock coal
- Comment on Have you ever seen coal in real life? 7 months ago:
I wouldn't grill with anything but anthracite and even then, I don't know that I would. You guys actually use coal from the ground at bbqs? We mostly use charcoal which is pyrolysed wood

Hindutva shithead.
- Comment on What is a "tax write off"? 9 months ago:
Going to add to this, the confusion comes from people saying something is a tax wire off as being a good thing. That confusion comes from the fact that a tax write off is essentially a "discount" compared to paying for something out of your own pocket post tax. You're essentially buying it for whatever percent cheaper you tax rate is. This is good if it's something that you gain value from, but bad if it's something like a wasted investment (though that gets complicated when you start actually assigning percentages to an investment's potential return as you hedge it, that's so far outside of my wheelhouse that it might as well be on the moon).

For a 40 year old, I have a come to jesus moment. I say you need this for your a. fib, or whatever, or you're gonna throw a clot and have a stroke. If you don't want to take it, that's fine, but that's a choice you're gonna be making. I tell them that we administer medications at set times to maintain effective prophylaxis. I'll jot a quick note, and if I have the time call the whoever ordered it and inform them of the refusal. If they want to place an ORDER for me to leave medication by the bedside, I will. But that's what it would take for me not write a refusal to take medication on the time it's ordered as anything but a refusal.

We're on the same page.
- Comment on [deleted] 10 months ago:
Oh, it happens plenty. Let's just say the nursing home nurses have it down to a science to speed folks up with all the patients they're administering medication to. Usually part of our report to other nurses on shift change, and what strategies we're using. Some folks want to talk, some folks are trying to exercise the very little control they have in a situation where their life has completely spiraled out.
- Comment on [deleted] 10 months ago:
You can put it in nurses notes, or depending on the EHR put a "note" in the MAR. But you have to actually put it there and then your manager will yell at you. Point is, you need to be sure they actually took a medication you documented you administered at the time you said you administered it.
This stuff isn't "my bosses" though but "standard nursing care."
- Comment on Can you survive on pickles alone, for a while? 10 months ago:
That's just simple electrolyte imbalance. If you've got working kidneys and access to water, you can extract enough calories for general functioning from pickles alone. You just have to spread out your pickle consumption. You will start to run into macronutrient and micronutrient problems fairly quickly though. How that presents itself depends on body composition, as you start to autocatabolize your muscles for spare parts. Could survive for 2 years if you're a good meal for yourself.
- Comment on What's with the 'Thanks' people? 10 months ago:
Oh it's not a translation. That's Indian English. It's a perfectly valid dialect. They often say things a bit more Victorian and have some influences from Hindi/urdu (which, being an Indo-European language like English, allows some of it's grammar rules to bleed over due to some baked in similarities).
- Comment on Anon reads Plato 10 months ago:
Well, it was Socrates per Plato. And everything Plato supposedly wrote was supposedly Socrates. Greek philosophy authorship is... dubious.
- Comment on Anon reads Plato 10 months ago:
I thought all these stories were fake, but it takes some next level shit to fake not getting a joke about "the only thing I know is I know nothing."
- Comment on Do people who are in late stage dementia still aware of the concept of death? 10 months ago:
Though really, starving to death sounds pretty terrible
Believe it or not, at that age it isn't a terrible way. Stomach will not hurt after too long, since your body will stop producing acid and shunt blood away from your digestive system and once you really start getting into muscle catabolism you're already frail enough that it'll kill your heart fast.
- Comment on Do people who are in late stage dementia still aware of the concept of death? 10 months ago:
Late stage dementia can't even feed themselves, so no.

- Comment on [deleted] 11 months ago:
Google (and reddit) deals with tons and tons of those requests every day. Now, more than likely, Archive.org would be the one to remove it but that wouldn't prevent whoever is contracted with the rights holder from sending it to hosting providers that link to it as well (after they find said link indexed in a search engine).
- Comment on [deleted] 11 months ago:
Lemmy will not let you post stuff that can get DMCA'ed. It will cause the lemmy instances to lose their hosting provider if they get too many DMCA requests.

Pretty much anywhere you have overhead storage with forklifts, you're going to not have a drop ceiling. Otherwise you'd just have people hitting the damn ceiling with the forklift. They already hit the sprinklers enough.
- Comment on Do you think that membership into suicide pacts will increase dramatically within the next decade because the world is falling apart at the seams? 1 year ago:
Millenarianism doesn't tend to have an association with famines or anything like that. It's usually closer to a feeling of alienation that drives it.
