As my boss said in one of those stupid floor meetings we always had to have, "if they have [the competitor's] card in their wallet, and not ours, who do you think they're going to?" God, I got sick of asking folks to sign up.

That's odd, because I remember their height as the 2016 election through (maybe) 2019.

Yeah, it gets complicated when formal rules can just be made up. I had a group of professors who published a little sheet saying, "These are the ways we like it, but unless it's truly horrendous, you aren't getting knocked for it." Their rule was something along the lines of pre-Roman fall, names that ended in -s don't get an extra 's, but afterwards they do. So Jesus', but Aquinas's... /shrug

Oh, totally right. I guess I didn't even think that 7's successors are 10/11 as well as 8.

Already was, ain't it? I think that it was at 2% or something of Steam users until it wasn't supported as of this year.

@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world You guys are nuts. Sincerely, your neighbor from the better border bastion. If it gets below Miami's average temperature, I'm putting on the parka.

Well that wasn't what I expected to hear. I'm curious why their heating supplies are falling/failing. Isn't oil the one thing they actually have an excess of?

I can't answer about why you wouldn't normally bruise, but when people drink alcohol, the skin becomes flushed. This is because one of alcohol's effects is to open the arterioles that feed capillary beds on/near the skin. It's also why it's not a good idea to drink alcohol to warm yourself; you'll feel warmer because your skin is flushed (sort of the same reason why inflammation tends to feel hot, though there blood is 'leaking' from your vessels due to certain bioregulators), but you'll be losing heat more quickly in contact with cold environments. Your typical bruise comes from the capillary beds being damaged, thus if you are drinking and have more blood in your capillary beds, you'll be more likely to bruise.

For why you don't normally bruise? You might just have pretty efficient arterioles that close off the capillary beds. You might also have very osmotic interstitial fluid, which means your cells are at the same osmolarity, and would tend to 'suck up' the blood that would be otherwise 'lost' (as in, out of place in the area it's in) and distribute its contents. We'd have to experiment a little and see what happens under different circumstances. Try to bruise you when you are already hot (which will cause your skin capillary beds to open, again flushing the skin), see if different fluids with dye in them injected in certain areas will 'bruise' you, etc.

Utah is beautiful and has tons of opportunity for outdoor activities. Some of the coolest national parks are there, and should be a top priority in anyone's bucket list. It's difficult to avoid supporting the mormons in some manner if you go though. Freaking landlords get raging erections thinking about what it would be like to be a top member of the mormon sect.

Oh, damn. I still have that one on my wishlist.

That's weird. Wisdom has always been the resistance roll for soul stuff in my memory, except for its weird foray into the physical with perception checks.

Night shift IS easy...

as long as your job doesn't have stupid requirements like switching back and forth between the day and night shift every other week, month, or on whatever-the-fuck that plant schedule is with 7/1/7/7/1/1 or its variations. And as long as there isn't some stupid requirement like having to brief a company that relies on something you did weeks ago, and have to do it right around 1100 hours when you already worked that night, and have to work that night. AND as long as you aren't understaffed, so you get mandatory overtime in the middle of your off days, oh totally preserves your off time so you're not working back to back but it totally fucks up your sleep schedule right in the worst time. AND AS LONG AS your bosses aren't complete fools who can't understand basic written sentences so they call you as you start to go into that phase IV deep sleep just so you can explain the same thing to them in spoken language...

fuck night shift.

I've never heard of a judge doing such a thing at the end or after a trial, but it would be priceless to see the judge run down the laundry list of actions taken or not taken by the attorneys that they would be receiving fines for.

There's an agency near me that actually has the Magna Carta date on their patches. It's humorous to think that many of them have no idea what it means.

Yes, there are some who say that. They get agreed with in person, ignored at the local party/voting level, scoffed at by media, screamed at in general on the internet, and scolded on places like lemmy or reddit (if not screamed at). There are policies that I like that for some reason have to be lumped in with policies I detest no matter which party I look at. One party (fucking GOP) is way worse than the other, but try to have a rational discussion with anonymous or outside-of-your-social-circle people, and any criticisms of a party are like blaspheming their god.

theft vs possession

I doubt that you could get the argument that current possession of the documents is legal just because having them in the past was legal. A surgeon who possesses cocaine at his house is still going to be in trouble, despite cocaine being legal to have at the surgery table (it's a great tool for eye surgery).

Add on to that the fact that the national archives is the proper owner of the presidential documents once the president is out of office, and that trump lied about having them, lied about returning all of them, etc. etc. etc., and you have crimes that are not related to the actual theft of the documents, but their possession, which are all valid.

Think of them as a more prolific mafia. Entertainment venues, restaurants, hotels, etc. will all likely be partially owned or pay protection to a cartel or local lord. When I was in a particular town, everyone in the area knew that they owed most of their entirely legal livelihood to the local drug lord. He just owned that much of the city.

Plus the other things folks have said, like other drugs and industries.

I can imagine sensation if I want, but as a 'for instance,' I know I don't like some foods because of certain sensations, but don't have to perceive them when I remember why. I can't imagine that most people aren't the same, or we'd have a lot more people gagging randomly as they walk around. Sure, some people will be slightly perturbed if you mention certain things, like fecal matter, horrible farts, the feeling of biting down on aluminum.... but those perturbations pass in moments.

A few million. Nasty, with hints of corn and bean. Painful and, oddly, quite exhilarating. Knowing doesn't equate to experiencing.

Public service might be your stick. Firefighter/medic is almost exactly your experience with the new situations every few hours, downtime, having a strong sense of community. Police have a similar feel, if you're in a more rural area. You'll never have the same situation twice, even if things are similar, and you'll almost always have a partner (or more, depending on if the whole truck shows up with the box) to depend on.
