Yep, I used to have a special card I had to keep in my wallet. It had a special number for them to call, and half of it had space for me to write down details (who/what/where) in the event I couldn’t get them to call

This is Zoe, aka Princess Zoe Peanut Butter Garbanzo

She got the name peanut butter from a delivery guy one day who was helping move in a new couch. She just went up to him friendly as can be and the delivery guy just went “hey peanut butter” and the nickname stuck.

Microbiologist here: I was taught that part of the origin of the symbol was the way a specific worm was removed, you had a stick or rod or whatever and you made a little incision where the worm is, then slowly pull it out and wind it around the rod

One of man’s first medical procedures

I totally feel you. I was clearly NOT the favorite child growing up.

The problem is it takes a lot to be an actual parent and not everyone is up to the task. It isn’t your fault, you have worth and are deserving of love and support.

Not the original post, but it’s usually speed. Manufacturing employees get pushed for more output, and usually that means that maintenance gets rushed.

A decade ago I was working somewhere with massive production machines with big rollers to pull the product through. One guy left the machine running to clean it so he could just sort of buff the rollers to clean them instead of scrubbing.

He got his arm sucked in up to his shoulder before someone was able to hit the e-stop

We were upgrading computers to go to windows 8, they decided for new machines for everyone. There was a pallet of computers outside the IT office.

One day the IT reported he was missing a couple computers. Boss decides not to publicize that and put up a camera.

Next day they walked out a guy who had been working as a temp for a year and had just been converted to full time. They told him if the computers came back they wouldn’t go to the police

LOL, you think I have PC ACs memorized? I asked if a 29 hit because three times a day you can activate the ring of wizardly bullshit and I need to know if I’m rolling 12d6 or not

Yeah, this is some of the least surprising news ever

Technically it’s about how she was paid, not about the keeping quiet.

It’s legal to pay someone to do something and pay them to not talk about it. NDAs are already a thing. You’re just not allowed to pay for it with campaign funds, it’s expected to come out of your own pocket

Yep, tore my meniscus in my knee a month ago shifting my weight standing still in my kitchen

Mythbusters is 50% recap, that sounds so much more enjoyable to watch. Where would I find that?

The real reason to stop changing times isn’t because of older clocks, there is real data that shows a spike in accidents and heart attacks after we change the clock

Isn’t that because in Japanese culture it’s common to punish poor performers by diverting all work from them to bore/shame them into quitting?

Inevitably you’re going to get some people who are willing to just ride it out

Glad to see this visualization coming over from the other place, one of my favorites each race

Gonna give you the “wellll ackshually” here:

The original Robin Hood wore red, his hood the color of a robin, hence the name

It’s only since the Disney version everyone slaps him in green

“Look, we’re all tired of kicking the Giants when they’re down for the Barkley stuff…”

Speak for yourself, my Super Bowl Barkley jersey just arrived yesterday

Always exciting to see the new pecking order, cmon McLaren give Lando a good car at the start of the year for once

Also countdown to drama among the Tifosi when Lewis doesn’t win out of the gate?

You’re thinking about it the wrong way, this is meant to be encouraging to their fans. They didn’t top either practice session, apparently because they’re hiding pace.

Butterfree

Gen 1 it didn’t do a whole lot, it had all the early status effects but not much else.

Fire red and leaf green they added abilities, and gave it some psychic moves, so it became the best status effect inflicter who could then still do something after

They open sourced their project, that’s more than enough
