This right here it the proper way. Another trick is to wrap some bacon around your bell housing. When you can hear the bacon sizzle then you know you’re doing it right. The grease from the bacon also helps keep the clutch disk nice and lubricated.

Damn it! I just started a new good campaign because I knew I’d need to run an evil one when this dropped. Oh well. Time to abandon another campaign.

Thank you. I do have enough physical PCIE slots but I’m assuming its going to drop both of them down to x8 instead of x16. My PSU is a 1kw titanium rated one and I’m not going to be stressing to 1070 at all so it should be fine there. Unfortunately no onboard graphics because that would have made things easy. I’m not plannying on doing any fancy graphics setup and I’ll avoid bouncing windows between the screens until I remove the 1070. So here’s hoping it works for now.

My city actually has surprisingly decent cops. They regularly train with the county social workers for conflict de-escalation and dealing with neurodivergent individuals. So I’m normally not too hesitant to call them. I’ve had to call them for various instances minor and otherwise and they have always conducted themselves very well. However if you go one town over the cops are known for being maladjusted shitbags that will use every opportunity they have to exert their power over someone. So if I’m in their jusrisdiction then I will never call the cops unless it is literally life or death. So it really depends on where I am.

Conspicously leaving random packages around town is how you get the bomb squad called and you wind up in an interogation room.

Wait, selective service wasn’t automated? When I turned 18 my card just showed up in the mail. I didn’t have to do anything to get it.

The Silt Verses - A fantasy horror podcast where gods are real, spawned solely through belief, feed on sacrifices (usually human), and have been corporatized. It’s amazing and the series just recently finished so there’s no waiting for the next episode to drop. Easily the best podcast I’ve ever listened to.

Sawbones - An awsome medical history podcast by Justin and Dr. Sydnee McElroy. Sydnees part is pretty obvious, she’s a family medicine doctor and she researches and presents historical bits about all the ways we have tried to do medicine throughout history. Justin is just Justin, he’s a podcaster and games journalist by trade so he’s mainly there as a layman and as comedic support.

The Magnus Protocol - Fantasy horor that I’m having trouble expplaining but it’s damn good. It’s made by the same creators that did the magnus archives. When they announced it on kickstarter after the magnus archives was finished they quickly earned over $700,000 so that should be some indication of how much people liked the magnus archives and the budget for the show.

So buy some cough syrup and sprite. Also most cough syrup has acetaminophen in it so I hope you didn’t need that liver.

I had hoped the “provided I don’t care about sleeping” would have made it clear I was joking.

I actually am working second but only because my workplace stopped doing a third shift durring covid. Damn do I miss third shift. I actually enjoyed 3rd shift in winter when I could go months without ever actually seeing the sun.

Is this some dayshift joke that I’m too nightshift to understand. I go where I want provided I don’t care about sleeping.

Wouldn’t it make more sense just to use × instead if that was the case? I guess maybe it makes it easier to differentiate it from x?

This right here is the exact reason, especially because x is frequently used as a variable which may be sitting directly nex to ×.

How will we know something extraterrestrial comes our way? They’ll have their own mitochondria, because something needs to power their cells, and it won’t be the same as ours.

New writing prompt, aliens show up and they are wildly different from us but they and all life on their planet also use the exact same mitochondria as us.

Whenever somebody asks you what time it is, tell them in UNIX time. Become ungovernable.

Seasoning in regards to cast iron has nothing to do with taste. It’s a polymerized layer of oils that acts as a nonstick coating. The process of seasoning cast iron is to lightly coat it in oil and heat that oil to smoke point and repeat that process several times.

Welcome to Lemmy. I see most people answered your questions but just so you’re aware, the only reason world has as many users as it does is because it was basically the only instance that didn’t close it’s signups durring the first reddit exodus and that also had enough resources to handle the massive influx of users without completely breaking. Most people didn’t pick world for any reason other than it was the only instance they could sign up for at the time. Joining any other instance is better because a more diverse fediverse is a healthier fediverse.

EMR here so I have some insight on this.

As far as why firetrucks respond to medical emergencies, it’s because they’re also trained EMRs (previously called first responders) so they can provide some treatment on the scene even if they can’t provide transport or do all the things an EMT or paramedic can do. In many emergency situations fire crews are also able to act where medical responders couldn’t. In a car accident they can cut up the car so the patient can be removed without disturbing a potentially broken spine. In confined spaces they have SCBA gear to enter safely where normal medical responders can’t do anything. Hell, if you wanted to, you could extract a patient through a second story wall with the equipment firefighters have at their disposal. There are many times where firefighters have resources that the ambulance crew don’t have access to. Firetrucks, due to the fact that they are built like tanks, are also used for trafic control. If a road needs to be shut down they just park a fire truck across it. If there’s an accident along a busy road they can park the fire truck between the responders and traffic so any lookielou hits the fire truck instead of the ambulance crew which is a frequent enough occurance that it is specifically covered in training. There is no better friend to EMS than a firetruck on scene.

As far as why ambulances are so huge, it’s partly because they are mobile emergency rooms. They have everything you could possibly want to stabilize a patient in them plus spares and enough room to work around that patient while on the move. The other reason they’re so big is because they’re designed to be hit. While they aren’t as indestructable as a fire truck, they are designed to come out as the winner in most car accidents because the likelihood of them being in a collision is much higher than most vehicles and they frequently carry unsecured people in the back. Ambulance accidents are also something we were specifically trained for. If it does happen then the ambulance may not always be able to take a hit and keep moving like a firetruck could, but it will almost always keep those in the back alive if not entirely unharmed.

Sorry for any spelling mistakes, that was more of a wall of text than I planned and I just woke up so my brain isn’t working yet.

As a Minnesotan I just have to say that I am so fucking happy that you all are giving him this reception. I was woried that when he got this position people would seem him as just some flyover state grandpa nobody cared about.

But you all seem to love him as much as we have here and it really gives me so much hope for this country. Like literally brings a tear to my eye.

It’s a timeshare and it is basically a scam for most people. Basically you’re buying time to stay at the place that you can technically use at any time year round as long as you book it in advance. The problem is that all of the days that most people go on vacations (spring break, summer, holidays, etc) will already be booked by the 500 other people who also bought the same thing. So really the only times you will actually be able to use the place are when no one else wants to be there.

If you have the ability and desire to drop everything and vacation there on a random week whenever it happens to be available then it can still be a good deal for you, but most people have obligations like work, school, or family that limits when they can just drop everything and leave to spend time at their timeshare.

I’m not familiar with that library.
