  • I read that the thing about them being designed to strip to prevent worse failure is just a myth. Or at least they weren't originally designed to. It said that the original patent never contained any feature for that. Wouldn't surprise me though if modern companies do use screws designed to strip to prevent disassembly/repair.

  • There are so many details which are being thrown out here in order for you to lump those two quotes and events together like that and call them the same. I'm no genius at reading comprehension and even I can see that! I think you need to spend an additional 5 minutes reading about the two wars, and then some.

  • You're right, definitely couldn't hurt to have some Narcan around. I've called 911 when I see people that look like they're in danger, and the emergency services have come pretty quick each time. Many of them tend to use in tents, or place covers over themselves though. This makes it pretty difficult to tell if they're ok. Its very common to see people completely passed out but not dead. You can usually tell if they're actually danger by their skintone. Purple/blueish = bad.

    Yeah I wish more cities in this country could devote the same amount of resources that SF devotes to these issues. Many of the addicted people I've talked to are actually from out of state, particularly red states. It shouldn't be up to certain cities to take most of the burden of this national problem, but it seems like that's what is happening. Income inequality is definitely out of control and I agree it seems to be a huge factor in pushing people into these situationss. Multi billionaires just should not exist when we have shit like this happening to to our people.

  • Thank you for actually answering this. This answered a lot of questions for me. I actually work in a nasty part of the SOMA district of SF and have seen stuff there that I will never forget. 3 ODs have happened outside of my work while I was there so far. I've opened the door to leave and had somebody unconscious just fall in. A 16 year old girl's corpse was defiled after she died from an OD down the alley. People screaming covered in feces and peeling off their own skin. Some of my smaller coworkers have been harassed and chased when trying to enter the building. I've talked to some of the addicts there of course, and many of them have told me they don't care if they die. Most of them are not bad people, just mentally ill and disabled. Some of them definitely get the free needles but they all use outside. There is a needle disposal box around the corner and I've actually seen people breaking it open to steal the needles multiple times...

    It just seems like none of this stuff works and we are all bending over backwards to cater to them, and then they end up dying anyway. Many of them are severely mentally ill or damaged from the drugs and it's pretty obvious that they are never going to be anything near functional ever again. It's like letting a 4 year old kid in an adult body addicted to opiates just go out on to the street to fend for themselves. They are not going to make choices that are beneficial to them in the long run, they've literally lost that ability.

    After years of putting up with this stuff, I think your average person in the city just gets to the point where they've had enough, and people end up voting to try something else.

  • Not disagreeing, just curious. How can they safely inject the kind of fentanyl that's out there now? When milligrams can kill you? What if they prefer to smoke it? Do the safe injection sites provide the drugs or do the users just bring their own stuff there and do it under supervision?

  • Same kind of dictator mentality I'd expect from Musk himself honestly. Doesn't fix the problem because he's insulted that someone else pointed it out. Cutting off his nose to spite his face. He's good at that. I'm really surprised the board still tolerates his shit.

  • Oof. Yeah, I'd doubt they pay very much there, probably have to take what they can get. Maybe I should apply🤪

  • Yeah looks like I may be wrong about "make do" being incorrect. Didn't know the spelling was changed in the 40s. I've always seen it written as "due". Seems like an odd word to use though. Wouldn't due make more sense? Like you're able to meet the dues that are required?

  • "Googlers assigned to the building are making do with Ethernet cables, using phones as hotspots, or working outside, where the Wi-Fi is stronger."

    How the fuck is a person that writes articles for a living not aware of the phrase "making due"? What goes through their mind when they write out "making do"? How the fuck does that make any sense to them?

    I hate to be that guy, but come on. It's literally your job.

    Edit: Now it's my job to admit that I was pretty damn wrong. Thanks chryan for posting this: https://www.grammar.com/make_do_vs._make_due
