  • Phlebotomists in some states don't need any training. None. If you've ever given blood in one of those states this is probably not surprising to you.

  • I complained enough at my work about this that we shut off fast boot domain wide. I haven't had to have a "I know that you just turned your computer on but I need you to restart it. No, not shutdown and turn on, restart. Yes, they are different things." conversation in a couple years. Funnily enough I haven't seen anyone complain about the significantly longer start up times. I guess people just expect that from windows lol.

  • Questions raised over Trump profiting off his Secret Service detail while he campaigns

    Jump

  • He profited from the secret service (and by proxy, us) the whole time he was president when he made them pay full price to have rooms at his garbage resort in Florida.

    I don't think this is true. I thought he increased the standard rate and charged them that. So it was like, double price.

    Quick edit: I just looked it up, it was allegedly 4-5 times the approved government hotel rate.

  • Falconry can involve tons of different skills. Mews (aviary) and giant hood (travel box) can use carpentry. Hoods/other gear -> leather working. Bells -> metallurgy. Perches -> metalwork and woodturning. Drone / kite flying maybe depending on bird. One guy makes his own telemetry. Lots of designing for the many little things needed. Almost everything needed is handcrafted or repurposed from something. I use 3d printing for my giant hoods, whistles, and anklet templates. Also like, animal training and hunting stuff for the raptor.

    But falconry is not a casual activity, it's truly a lifestyle. Because of that, there are a lot of falconer couples, or, divorced falconers. So uh, make sure your partner is really into it before going in deep.

  • If Fullmetal Alchemist cut out the super anime bits I would like it much better. The over exaggerated faces, the # forehead, going chibi, dramatically dropping animation quality. It was really hard for me to get through some elements of that show. I honestly think it was more of the fandom that ruined it for me, because whenever one of those anime tropes happened it reminded me of people who made those tropes their personality and I would be hit by a wave of cringe.

  • Current state of EU legislation on crop breeding (from @methylcytosine on X)

    Jump

  • Ok, again, no one is forcing these farmers to use the seeds. They have every opportunity to use their own heirloom seeds that they can replant forever, but they don't because even when paying for seeds the GMO ones bring in more money. It's a business, if they want to use them they need to pay. It's ok to fundamentally disagree with seeds as a service but recognize (as the courts did) that this applies to all IP. Just owning a product doesn't give you the right to duplicate and redistribute it.

    Jump

  • These are public court cases, Monsanto isn't characterizing anything. The ones I've seen are deliberate attempts to use the seeds without paying. Do you have examples of a farmers livelihood destroyed by Monsanto? Because it doesn't seem good business to me for them to attack random farmers. I implore you to look at the link I posted or google it yourself.

  • I don't mean to sound like a Monsanto shill, but farmers are not forced to use those seeds. They could use their own seeds if they wanted. But the GMO crops are so much more efficient that they are worth the cost.

  • Folksy stuff

    Jump

  • I think you are focusing way too hard on tricking being negative, when it doesn't have to be. Example:

    "Pick up these toys" - direct, boring, likely to be ignored.

    "Can you dance the whole time you are putting toys away?" - fun, presents a challenge to overcome, at least maybe burning some energy.

    The second one could be considered a trick, but it's not dismissive or mean and it teaches that chores can be made fun.

  • Can anyone link the garfield shitposting page? I cant find it

  • This is lampooning another story on someone needing a heart or something. They go to surgery, wake up, "where do you think we got the heart from", dead Garfield.
