Never been in an aussie airport so I'll take your word for it. Still though having to declare a sandwich is beyond absurd. I get the reasoning for raw foodstuffs but a cooked chicken sandwich isn't carrying anything that granny couldn't also just be carrying in her body.

Who in their right mind would think they need to declare a sandwich?

In all my years of driving complete beaters in awful road conditions, I've never encountered a mechanical failure that was that dangerous. The closest would be when I had a strut snap and punch a hole in my tire while driving down the highway. But even that didn't wind up being particularly dangerous. I still had way more than enough control to just make a controlled stop on the side of the road.

The only mechanical failure I can think of which doesn't always just allow you to make a controlled stop is a busted brake line or master cylinder. But a lot of times that will still result in a slow enough loss of braking capability that you still have time to make a controlled stop before your braking ability is gone. Everything else that I can think of will render the vehicle completely undrivable before it breaks in significantly dangerous way. Of course that doesn't mean that things won't break in a far more expensive way if ignored.

Same vote here. There is also a matching state seal in the running which would be nice.

Exactly. I would never have guessed Lemmy is losing users if every other meme wasn't about it. Stuff still seems just as lively now as it was a couple months ago.

The AR-15 is just popular because it's the honda civic of rifles and people fetishize it for the same reason highschool car guys fetishize honda civics. It's cheap, ubiquitous, and you can modify it to do basically anything you want. You can get an AR-15 chambered in anything from a .17 varmint round up to .50 Beowulf if you really want. You can slap basically any attachment or replacement part you can think of on it and it will just work. It's also fairly robust so maintenance isn't a huge concern. It's just a generic, cheap, and highly versitile platform. As far as "big bad guns" go the AR-15 isn't anywhere close to the top of that list. To anyone who actually knows about guns the AR-15 is basically the great value brand rifle. It's what you buy when you don't know what you actually want.

You also have a bit of the glock phenomenon going on. It became a thing a while back where a lot of people just started calling all handguns glocks even if they weren't actually Glock handguns. Similarly now you have people calling any black rifle with a handguard and a picatinny rail an AR-15 even if it's not even close to an AR-15.

I don't know what an adjective is but it doesn't sound manly so I won't do it.

That's how you get more milk per your milk!

The factory must expand to meet the ever expanding needs of the factory.

Factorio. I tried it years ago and it just never clicked. I just started playing it again and suffice it to say I have gotten very little sleep over the past couple weeks.

Or Oscar Meyer which is a hotdog.

That sentence makes no sense. That's like saying "this 'website'-shit isn't helping the internet grow tbh."

Instances are Lemmy. They're all seperate platforms that just so happen to share stuff and use mostly the same code. It's just people hosting their own social media sites.

Even though Pi hole doesn't block youtube ads, that's probably what is triggering the ad blocker blocker. Unfortunately I don't know a way around that but I'm sure someone in one of the pihole communities has figured it out.

What? There already is porn. A lot of it.

What ad blocker are you using? I'm using ublock origin and I still haven't seen the ad blocker blocker thing on anything.

Store them burried in a bucket of dry sand. That's literally how they get stored for disposal because that's the best place for them to be if they do pop.

I'm not going to indulge your kink.

I just got around it by not using roku. Just get a cheap used laptop somewhere and plug it into your TV. It doesn't even need to have a working screen. For the remote I just use my phone and the Unified Remote app. That app let's you use your phone as an input device for any computer on the same network that has the client software installed.

Original sin is passed on by birth so I'm pretty sure if they bred into the line of adam and eve then their offspring become infected with original sin. So those that are immune are only those who are entirely seperate from the line of adam and eve. It's basically just an incurable STD.

There are a lot of really shitty doctors out there that do shit like that but there are still decent ones too. Luckily the one in my initial post wasn't my primary care doc. I couldn't get in to see my normal doc at the time so I just got Dr. Dumbass instead.

My primary care doc is actually great with dealing with my depression despite it not being his area of expertise. I'd love to get in to see a psych and therapist but they're all so booked up my doctor can't even get me on a waiting list so he just does the best he can on his own. He literally called up that department while I was in the office with him and they basically gave him a flat no and then hung up on him. Durring one of my initial appointments he just straight up told me that mental health isn't an area he knows much about but as time went on it became clear that he was putting in a ton of effort to actually educate himself. Now whenever I'm having an issue related to my depression or medications sideeffects he can quickly come up with multiple potential solutions discuss the pros and cons of each one with me and ask which one I want to try. Needless to say I will be keeping this doctor even if it means I need to lock him in my basement.
