Wireless ear buds.

I was pretty adamant that I was absolutely never going to get any, preferring wired and really looking for a phone that still had the jack. Then when new phone time came, I ended up having to choose between a micro sd card slot and the headphone jack. I tried for a bit with a USB-C to headphone adapter but ended up seeing some ear buds on sale and giving them a shot.

They last way longer than I expected, and the carrying case as the charger means I hardly need to worry about keeping another device charged. The freedom of not having the cord is really nice, especially when going for a bike ride or jog. I upgraded to a pair with a little over-the-ear hook and use them probably 10hrs a day every day they are great

a large majority of trans girls don't have body shapes like that

Cis girls too. These are extreme body types (likely a good bit of photo fuckery too)

WHAT?! They aren't mother and daughter? My whole life is a lie

Like playing Mad Gab

They've remembered they are DB Cooper

He has a pet AT-AT! Guess the comic artist saw this video

My birthday suit already looks a lot like the mole rat so I'm most of the way there

This is my first exposure to this idea and it's quite compelling. Couple that with the perceived tone being argumentative instead of inquisitive or ignorant and that's a recipe for disaster.

The fact the algorithms only care about engagement, positive or negative, means rage bait takes over too so that doesn't help the perception that a question is actually an attack.

Where's your source for this? I've never noticed it so it must not be happening

Isn't that the joke?

That's a good point. My phone keyboard has the superscript so I used that without thinking too much

It's probably more like the 50th is considered northern really. 60th is into far north territory

Thought experiment:

Put them in a small sealed room with airflow you control. Using a randomly generated number to pick the start time (within some maximum that's deemed appropriate), you then throttle up the nitrogen and throttle down the oxygen.

The time spent in the room would still be pretty terrifying so I doubt it'd be much better than the mask... Maybe the room is their cell and it's a randomly chosen day within an execution "week" where you make sure they're asleep first?

Probably best just to not kill people of course, but if you're gonna do it, do it the most humane way possible.

My understanding is that we can't detect oxygen deprivation, but we can detect CO² buildup which is the idea behind nitrogen asphyxiation. Wouldn't regular suffocation (like, something obstructing your airflow) be quite agonizing then in comparison due to CO² buildup?

Nitrogen asphyxiation should be effective and painless, but not if the person fights it. Which means it'll be hard to use as an execution method (unless you surprise them with it somehow)

Yeah, in a fair world that'd be his entire base flown in from everywhere

Fair point, I was just speaking generally, and that she actually lived way longer than most of her species since most aren't in captivity

This happens quite often with animals in captivity. Nature is dangerous (and health care is important!)

Why do you even need to know what the numbers mean in relation to time of day?
