Oh. That’s a bummer. Guess we’ll just have to wait for the next assassin. /shrug.

Yeah I guess zero-g really fucks with the urinary system. Kidney stones are a big issue too. IIRC even after returning to earth, astronauts have a much higher incidence of stones for the rest of their life.

Idk if catheters would be a good option, since those increase the chance of a UTI - ideally things only ever move one direction through the urethra, since probing shit into gives pathogens an express trip to the bladder. My best guess is a strict diet and drink regiment made specifically to rule out kidney stones, and scheduled/frequent urinating so bacteria don’t have a chance to propagate.

Yea this is getting dangerous. We need to put him somewhere safe. Like really safe. Maybe like concrete walls so bullets can’t get through, and barred windows to prevent would-be assassins from getting in. Have like multiple points of entry under lock and key, with armed guards all over.

Wall off the entire area too - big tall concrete walls. And barbed wire on top. No one’s getting through that! Ooh and some towers around good vantage points with spotlights and snipers.

We really can’t be too careful.

Does anyone know a place like that where Trump might belong?

3.3m / 182b = 0.0018% of Elon Musk’s wealth.

What percentage of your wealth do you lose if you get caught driving 5mph over the speed limit?

This shit needs to be proportional to both severity of the crime and total wealth.

For those who didn’t watch, ^that isn’t like stupid internet humor… Trump was literally complaining about that on stage.

Trail cam footage might have some potential to capture the whole physics-doing-their-thing incidents.

CCTV footage of a heavy cabinet falling over is 100% going to be a hoax. It’s always going to be something like front loading to make the center of gravity unstable with a release mechanism that the angle doesn’t show, or on a steeply inclined surface but with forced camera perspective to make it look like level ground. Movie magic. If you want good movie magic, look for paranormal movies with a decent budget and praise for practical effects - no random on the internet is gonna do a better job of that than Hollywood.

If you want unexplained phenomena, honestly I’d steer you away from the word ‘paranormal’ cuz that’s just gonna get you theatrical shit; and turn instead to things like physics that deal with sub-atomic-tiny or like supermassive-black-hole-huge. We don’t have a great understanding of physics extremes, so diving down those rabbit holes give a similar “…bruh what the fuck did I just watch…” but without watering it down with some dramatic asshole on screen saying shit like “WAS IT SPIRITS?? ARE THEY TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH US???”

Theoretical physics too… like, watching a clip on the point-line-plane postulate up to the 10th dimension will have you nodding along thinking “holy shit this makes sense!” but then when you try to explain to someone later you’ll be hit with this Lovecraftian madness cuz without the lecture holding your hand through the entire process, you don’t actually retain near enough to articulate it lol.

A very concerning headline if you haven’t been following current events.

Sorry, all I had was a pun.

Tbh, your best bet is probably the ‘related’ videos of the ones you linked… but you kinda called it in your first edit - you’re gonna get a lot of edited, scripted, etc crap cuz that’s what 99% of paranormal footage is. The remaining 1% is stuff like this - just physics doing its thing, but super rare conditions that most of us have never heard of before that when it happens in the field of view of our dumbass monkey brains we tend to just pin an explanation to like “I saw a ghost/angel/alien/etc!”

The only ones that host authentic paranormal footage are kind of ghost towns.

Tell me you don’t understand how to use a turn signal without telling me you don’t understand how to use a turn signal.

TV remotes, computer speakers, car radios, etc must have two sets of volume up / volume down controls. One for upper volume limit, and one for the lower.

Now I can hear what the characters are whispering to eachother, without waking up the entire apartment complex when there’s a gunshot on screen.

Or hear the quiet parts of music when I’m driving without blowing my eardrums out when the contrasting high energy part kicks in.

Ethical triumph or new disaster?

Yes.

Well you were right. That definitely rubs the wrong way lol.

Thank you!

If you don’t like that, you’re really not going to like what they call downvotes …

Don’t leave us hanging like that!

Congrats, Brazil!

They have a great relationship with the other students too, most of which are women. They’re legit decent people - I’m pretty happy with this program.

I do see sexism at work though - I’m a surgical tech, and I’ve noticed a lot of docs are WAY more forgiving to my fuckups than to my female peers. It’s so fucking awkward to be on the receiving end of favoritism. …and yeah, anytime something needs to be lifted, I’m the mule by default.

In nursing school right now. Pleased to say I’m having the opposite experience - I’m the guy that’s always asking questions, running study groups, and debating the prof after tests to try to get questions thrown out and boost everyone’s grade. So… pretty much everyone in the program, student and staff, knew my name and face from day 1… and I’ve had an awesome relationship so far with all of them.

It’s been difficult, but very gratifying and at times even fun.

Your instructors were shit.

I’ve had a few teeth get broken in half horizontally without getting fully knocked out.

Runner up is a wrist fracture at multiple locations, and the two don’t even come close - the teeth were WAY more painful.

Depends on the tech. Touch screens? Those can go fuck themselves. Adaptive cruise control? I love that shit. Any backlighting beyond what’s necessary to see knobs and buttons in otherwise total darkness? Fuck you! Any backlighting that’s any color other than red? EXTRA fuck you! Backup cam? Yeah those are good. Backup cam screen that becomes some obnoxiously bright LCD display for the radio? No, fuck that.

Random side thought: a strict Eco mode only-when-pushed button would be pretty amazing. Eco mode kinda already forces your to drive like a grandma, but at the cost of responsiveness. Responsiveness is important if something catches you off guard, so if I slam on the gas suddenly, I want my car to fucking book it, cuz that probably means I’m trying to dodge something. That said, more often than not, when I’m accelerating from a stop or getting up to speed on the freeway, there’s not really any urgency… but I tend to accelerate faster than necessary (waste gas) because my monkey brain likes the zoom-zoom. I want like… idk, the equivalent of a push-to-talk button on the steering wheel for embracing my inner grandma. I push it when I’m actively assessing that there’s no urgency; my speed of acceleration will make only seconds of difference in my overall trip; and no matter how hard I pump that gas peddle, the uses only the most optimal amount of gas to get me up to and maintain speed. Then I take an exit into some busy downtown bullshit where there’s shit coming at me from every direction, and I need to be able to jolt to dodge the giant metal projectile piloted by the monkey brain a few car lengths away from mine.

Basically keep the “Oh shit!” actions free of as many inputs as possible; demand a bit more from the thinky chunk of meat in my head shell only when everything else is relatively chill.

It does not say from our perspective, it just says they’re indistinguishable. Which is incorrect.
