  • Any good tools to compile a list of contact info into something that can be imported to both iphone and Android contact lists?

    跳过

  • This looks promising! Looks like I can save individual vcf files using Outlook, but I can't figure out how to export an entire contact list in one file. In the contact group in Outlook, there's a 'forward group' button that has an export as vfc or outlook file, but the vcf just exports it as a .txt and the the outlook export is... idk what it is... there's no file extension...?

    Neither the .txt or extensionless file seem to be recognized by my phone - it opens the .txt to plain text, and doesn't recognize the other.

    Did I do something stupid?

  • US deep south. The only sorting of trash I see in the hospital is sharps vs non-sharps. Outside the hospital, sorting is vitually nonexistent... there's no recycling here, everything just goes in a landfill. It's fucking stupid, but this is what we get for putting Nazis in charge of everything.

  • No idea how they dispose of it. I've asked my immediate management chain if I can take damaged/pitted instruments that need to be replaced to donate to the local colleges - Anatomy & Physiology classes all have a lab component to dissect something, and the school I went to had instruments that were absolute garbage.

    The answer was no... We just put instruments that need to be replaced in a red bin with other sharps like needles, and the bins are shipped off somewhere, probably to be incinerated.

    Bigger stuff like equipment, we send to the biomedical engineering department for outprocessing. From there, no idea. Probably land fill.

    I wouldn't dumpster dive at a hospital though. It'll be a sea of ruptured catheter bags, linens saturated with poop, and just all manner of pathogens. And probably sharps - that stuff is supposed to go in sealed red bins, but all it takes is one lazy employee and you've got yourself an HIV+ needle stick.

  • I work in an operating room, and have been around long enough to see multiple pieces of perfectly good equipment get replaced just because it hit the manufacturer's end-of-life date.

    I'm talking things like a several-hundred-thousand dollar microscope for microsurgery.

    Basically that date means if the microscope fucks up somehow, the vendor takes zero liability, and any legal expenses fall onto the hospital... so we trash it and buy another one. Rinse and repeat after another few years.

    That end-of-life date is always crazy early, and is like that 100% because the manufacturer knows hospitals would rather just treat a quarter million dollar microscope as disposable than accept liability for an equipment fault.

    The waste is unreal.

  • If I sell you a 2025 Ferrari then give you a 2011 Honda Civic, I broke the law and you got scammed.

    Even if I take the unexpected step of sending you a civic-to-Ferrari conversion kit after the fact that makes the car I delivered somewhat comparable to the one I advertised, that doesn't excuse the initial deception.

    What they did was deliberate and dishonest - it's awesome that they've taken (a shit ton of) steps since to make it right, but it'll never be right.

    Holding them accountable is not psychotic.

  • I was one of the fucking idiots that preordered No Man's Sky. The devs have done a lot to make up for it, so I don't really regret it anymore as it's a decent game now, but at release it was so drastically bare-bones compared to what they advertised that if the legal system actually gave a shit about consumer protection, the staff of Hello Games would have served jail time.

    But Sean was a charismatic little con artist, and he cut right past my defense. bUt ThiS gUy'S diFfeReNt!! Bruh I fuckin knew better than that!

  • That's because his health itself is seditious and treasonous. If he'd just hurry up and succumb to his decades-long suicide by cheeseburger, that'd stand out as his one and only act of patriotism.

  • Don't forget that McDonald's ran two separate PR campaigns for the Trump regime.

    And THAT is plenty of reason to boycott them. Don't give those traitors another cent. There are a TON of other options to get that greasy junk food fix.
