  • This whole thread is glorious. (Also did your autocorrect put up a fight or did it completely give up trying. I'd love it if this is how we fight AI in the future.)

  • 'Everybody's worst nightmare': Air traffic controllers say outages have become too frequent

  • Which is fucking hilarious because most private industries that are safety conscious use FAA regulations as the gold standard to build theirs against.

  • When my husband and I started dating he was a property manager of an apartment complex. Coincidentally they fired him within a month after I moved in since he was getting an apartment as part of his salary. As we were moving out of that shithole we still had people walking into our empty apartment after us both yelling at us that such and such needed to be fixed. Completely wild.

  • Oops I was wrong we had a whip scorpion not a vinegroon. Husband just corrected me.

  • We did have one for a bit. We did a whole arboreal tank set up and even got it to molt twice. They are amazing to watch.

  • That dude is way too happy in that video. But that's pretty close to the same pitch my husband gave me.

  • Yea I meant venomous. Hubby was trying to woo me on the idea of keeping Vietnamese centipedes. Serious look them up on YouTube if you want some nightmare fuel. We used to breed Deathstalkers so I'm not opposed to keeping hots but I'm also a safety oriented person.

  • My husband was worried about bringing me to his apartment for the first time when we were dating because it was filled with tarantulas, scorpions, and snakes. Did not bother me in the slightest and I really got into keeping them too. I did put my foot down on centipedes though because fuck that (too fast, too hot).

  • The general feeling of documentating things

    Mass. woman speaks out after video shows lCE agents smashing car window to get husband

    Jump

  • I watched that video and I was terrified. If a group of people stop my car and come at me with sledgehammers then I will assume they mean to do me bodily harm. That's what terrified me most about that video. It's only a matter of time before "ICE" starts straight up killing people.

  • Revealed: drug tests in California prisons yielded false positives, affecting thousands of people

    Jump

  • That is completely fair to want more info and I agree the article should have explained this. Here's the thing no CAP/CLIA certified lab would ever release screening results without a note directly on the results saying that said results are only for screening purposes. The key here is that screening tests will not hold up in court. It would be business suicide and against regulations to do otherwise. I do know from personal experience that LabCorp generally charges $70-$90 for a limited urine drug screen and that confirmation testing which should be reflexively run for all screening positives can run between $150-350ish range depending on the drug. We're talking that price per drug per confirmation test. So I'm fairly sure the prison was being a bunch of cheap bastards and ignored what Quest told them. The fact that Quest noticed the result trends in their reagents before the company producing the reagent did tells me that their on point with their QA/QC. If this was a major reagent provider like Abbott or Siemens then this issue would have been noticed country wide real quick, but I'm guessing that this was some sort of third party reagent for something more esoteric like oxycodone testing. But that's just a hunch on my part. I'm more pissed off that once again the lab is getting blamed for people doing whatever the fuck they want with testing results when the lab community does so much fucking work that's never seen or appreciated to keep people safe. Also pisses me off that screening testing is used to trap and incarcerate innocent people who don't know or understand that they're being fucked. Thanks for listening while I shake my pipette in fury at the sky here.

  • Once again here we have fucking screening tests used for legal reasons without confirmation testing being done. This is not the fault of Quest Diagnostics and completely the fault of the cheap ass prison system.

  • America is fucked

  • So I actually experienced one of these on 64W between VA Beach and Richmond. It was amazing how everyone including myself just instinctively moved to the sides of the road. It's not a hard concept it just takes cooperation.

  • Trump admin slammed as ‘stupidest’ ever after linking WWII plane ‘Enola Gay’ to DEI

    Jump

  • I adore going to the Air and Space museum. I'm usually overwhelmed with wonder by all the space craft because seeing a thing makes it all real and tangible but seeing the Enola Gay was a different kind of overwhelming. Seeing it drives home a true sense of horror for what happened that day and what has been unleashed on the world. But that museum contains more than just artifacts; it contains our cumulative memories and experiences as a country. My last visit was almost two decades ago but I had the most moving experience I'll probably ever have there. At one point during our tour my husband and I were walking through an exhibit of planes used in the Asia-Pacific theater. We were in this tight little offshoot where there was a single plane in the center of the room and placards along the walls. It was really crowded and noisy but I wanted to read all the placards. As I was reading with my back turned the room almost suddenly got real quiet and thinned out real quick. My husband nudged me to get my attention and as I turned around there was an old man in a wheelchair right in front of the plane. He must have been a veteran because he had his service ball-cap on. Everyone was instinctively giving this man room and a moment of silence as he openly wept while staring at the plane. My husband and I stood there a few moments longer before quietly nodding at his family members in recognition and respect before we too left the room. I'll never be able to imagine what was going through that man's mind or what he was re-living in that moment but I've been thinking about that experience a lot since last November. I felt respect, empathy, and even a bit of patriotism at the time but lately all I feel is shame that this country has gleefully spit in the face of our veterans and their service today.

  • Bluesky and Mastodon users can now talk to each other with Bridgy Fed | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Heck yeah I'll give you a follow over on Bluesky. I'm following a handful of people that are bridged Mastodon users. Yours will be the first Mbin one though. I really hope all the kinks get worked out over time though because I really love the idea of interconnectivity.

  • The minute checks stop going out is the moment shit gets real. This will impact everyone. Yes the people directly getting checks will be in dire trouble. But I don't think most folks understand just how much our economy relies on this system. Business will take a hit, more people will end up having to support aging parents even more than they do already, and every working American is going to immediately question why they've now lost money to this system. Billionaires can fuck around with money because it's not really or tangible for them, but normal folks... Yea you just don't fuck with people's money.

  • Europe loudly states support for Ukraine, quietly eyes Trump

  • I noticed that too when I watched the video. He's too obsessed with gold and has always been garish with it. I'm sure it's why he paints himself orange too. It's weird.
