I don’t think enshitification is a good example since everything is being enshitified

How do you people sit with anything in a back pocket

Also how do you people keep shit in the same pocket? Hell usually everything ends up in the opposite pocket I first put it in anyway

If I don’t see it on Lemmy, my parents usually let me know.

No don’t worry they are progressives so it’s almost always NPR or local.

I’m assuming no one needs that explained to them.

Not really, because he wasn’t a Black guy talking to Black people. He knew what he did.

It’s a racial slur. That’s it. Don’t use it, don’t think it, don’t think you can say it with your Black friends.

If it’s in your regular enough vocabulary to “come out accidentally” you are a racist.

You also can’t ‘unsay’ a racial slur as much as my ex can’t ‘unfuck’ someone.

What’s also neat is that it also shows one’s intelligence. If you give him a pass “oh he said he was sorry” you’re a racist AND dumb.

My old house ended up with a mouse problem in the utility room (which was weird, we couldnt find where they were coming from, and never any mouse evidence in any other room, so we could only guess it was because it was warm? The mice were pretty skinny) And my single orange brain cell absolutely loved playing with them if they ignored the set traps and crawled under the door. He would play and play and play, until I guess the mouse simply died of exhaustion or maybe being chomped just right.

Anyway, it was dead, and he’d still bat it around, and eventually I’d hear him yowling as if he’d lost a toy somewhere he can’t reach, and sure enough he batted the dead mouse under the couch down there.

To this day, toy mice are by far his favorite thing to play with. He’ll play with feathered wands and catnip kickers, but a toy mouse he’ll play with alone or with you any time of day for up to a couple hours at a time.

So I got a dumb question - how do you know where to start cutting the whales head off?

They ain’t got no neck

Technically they don’t employ their children. But this policy also technically makes you evil.

Man I really can’t shake the thought that’s shes something not human wearing a skin suit.

Which bothers me mostly because that constantly reminds me of the aliens from They Live that occupy my nightmares with the Time Eaters from Legion.

My nightmares are scary

Complete inversion of entropy

Ok no more edits, just replies. The above used human values, and human doses. Cats likely have a different rate of everything, but the iodine rate of decay doesn’t change.

I mean I get the point the guy is showing, but it’s a very low dose dosimeter.

Radiation can be scary because it’s hard to understand, but it doesn’t have to be so scary every time you hear something click that fast.

For anyone curious - yes radiation therapy does this to humans too.

If you have like a blood draw while you’re radioactive they usually have to stick in in a lead box until it decays enough to not affect other samples or lab devices.

However, at 2000 cpm, you won’t be getting radiation sickness from your cat. You may get a small increase in cancer risk if you’re cuddling with it 24/he a day for a few days, but that doesn’t account for the sources Half-Life either

Edit:

I watched the video again, because I didn’t catch if the card had an equivalent dose for the counts. It does, in uSv/h. Since it’s 2300 cpm, it says >13 uSv / hr. We can probably use that lower value, but for shits and giggles we’ll say it’s 15. If the _Cesium iodine in the cat didn’t have a half life, in about 8 days 8 hours of cuddling with the cat he’d have been exposed to the same amount of radiation as a single mammogram.

Edit 2: I mistakenly said cesium, but it’s iodine they used - probably Iodine 125 with a half life of 60 days. The biological half life of iodine depends on where it ends up - 100 days for thyroid to 14 days in kidneys. I don’t know the half life of it’s decay products but they are stable. What’s cool about knowing this is we can calculate how long the cat will be radioactive. On the upper end, where the thyroid unrealistically holds 100% of the iodine, we can use the two half life values to figure out how radioactive he really was in 8 days with decay. Unless I did it way wrong, he’d have fallen below 2000 cpm in 8.3 days. In 60 days using that same estimate, it should have fallen to < 800cpm. Likely lower. All in all, no it’s safe to cuddle with your radioactive cat.

Edit 3: the lowest clearly linked dose to increased risk of cancer is 100mSv. Or ~278 days at the initial rate of constant cuddling.

She was getting that handshake.

That was her warning shot that it was her stage.

Ah, we’re in the endgame now.

So idk about everyone else, but did anyone else catch that they both had hot mics?

This wasn’t a debate for her, or a law school case scenario, or an undergrad philosophy argument. This was a trap she set.

He managed to call him weak, a poor sport, a sore loser, an idiot, in a publicly appropriate manner, and each time she did, he got more and more unhinged.

Don’t stop your opponent from making the wrong move.

Well there’s absolutely no way humans look as good as the one pictured, and I haven’t seen a cat work a day in its life it’s 100% the cat.

No they won’t. Parts of Texas without power for over a week even after floods cleared, and no one rioted.

Noooooooooooo!

This is the first time I actually got worked up about a celebrity death. :/ I know no one is immortal but damn yo, he was a pretty important part of the things I enjoyed.

Yikes. So this isn’t about me, it’s about 4 people who had lumbar or sacrum disc bulges/ruptures. Also over different points in time where medicine advanced.

First was a music conductor about 22 years ago, 35-40 y/o. He opted for the surgery at the time. Full quick recovery. At the time it was about 50/50 for full recovery, or worsening of the issues.

Second was a family member about 21 years ago, ~40 y/o he opted out of the surgery for deep steroid injections and physical therapy. It took about a year and a half, but it resolved, and no problems since.

Third was about 12 years ago. Again early 40s, opted for surgery. Surgery was a success, but didn’t resolve it nearly as quickly or as well as the first person.

Fourth was ~6 years ago, late 20s. Long history of back problems do to sports related compressions when she was younger (she was a ‘flyer’ in cheerleading). She was told she’d be an excellent candidate for the newest minimally invasive technique, but opted out of surgery and got the injections like the second person. However it did not, and has not resolved. She still refuses the surgery. It limits her ability to bend over, and get to the ground, still has pain and sciatica. She regularly sees a chiropractor (against the recommendations of everyone).

I think, nowadays, a good orthopedic doctor will be able to give you the best care. It’s not fun, but it doesn’t need to be as scary as it used to be. Plus the symptoms can always get worse. You’re doing the right thing and listening to your body.
