“I don’t have anything to hide because I think I’ve done something wrong: I have something to hide because I question your judgement and motives.”

They’re fine giving you their info because they trust you. The problem is when the person seeking that information is untrustworthy – and some shithead(s) making their way into a company or government isn’t just possible, it’s likely.

Tell them to give all their sensitive personal information to someone that hates them. Credit card numbers, political beliefs, nudes, sexual preferences/fetishes, etc.

Clearly we need to spam pictures like this on social media. It’s a totally normal thing to do when your preferred political candidate is convicted of a crime.

Really the only danger in using a microwave to boil water is superheating if there are no nucleation sites in the mug.

Which is why it’s important to put the teabag in the water before microwaving it.

If you’re looking for reliable, primitive gears: look at an old watermill’s wooden “crown wheel” and pinion.

That being said, you’d get the same effect with pulleys and belt. Hand carving wooden pulleys or turning them on a simple pole lathe with a sharp or abrasive rock would much easier than making gears.

I have had more “straight” guys send me dick picks and ask if we can hook up (at my place, obviously) than I can count.

Compact Flash cards are popular as an HDD replacement in retro computing – with the downside of no sound.

There are designs for face paint specifically to defeat facial recognition.

The suicide helmet.

It’s real, and it was used.

Adobe used to not give a shit about piracy for personal use, and a reasoni t was so easy to pirate. They knew a lot of those kids making memes would grow up to be either paying customers or work for someone that is.

… Yeah, nobody outside of a minority of crazies are saying those things.

Here’s 3.

• Addressing men’s mental health. Normalizing therapy and talking about issues.
• Promoting ideals and examples of healthy intimate relationships: communication, setting boundaries, etc.
• Moving a way from the insecure, performative, fucked up version of “masculinity” – e.g. “I can’t wear pink, play with dolls with my kid, or bake because those things are feminine”.

You mean self aware, hyperbolic satire?

They know there have been women on the supreme court. It was a reference to second wave feminism, and inverted because that was the joke.

I’m running a Venstar Colortouch thermostat. They’re not cheap, but they have a local API and there’s a Homeassistant integration.

I had to intubate patients as part of my clinical time for paramedic, which meant time in the OR. Some surgeons would let us hang out and watch the surgery. Orthopedic surgery sounded like a cross between a construction site and an automotive shop. Die grinders, saws, and power drills.

Also, apparently knee replacement involves one guy doing MMA submission moves on the patient’s leg while another goes at their exposed, hyper-flexed knee joint with a hammer and chisel.
