Yeah, I gotta get that DNR stuff set up.

My risk analysis prior was that it wasn’t worth it. That has since changed.

Retirement plan for me is dead by 60, because climate change will have made living an absolute misery.

This is why I now have a motorcycle.

Used to be able to get $1 cheeseburgers. The loose change menu was a huge thing here, you could actually wander in with some coins and walk out with some food.

At $1 a burger, in less than 3 minutes, that’s way cheaper, “tastier” (subjective), faster, and no cleaning up, than having a pot of lentil curry.

That’s like asking why we can’t just eliminate gonorrhea… people keep inoculating each other with the bad shit.

I do tell my expecting parents (who happen to have bad teeth) that they should not test the food in their mouth and use the same spoon with their new child, as they will be passing on their bacteria to the kid. I do also imply they shouldn’t share things like drinks.

Whether or not they listen to me isn’t my problem…

A chick got pulled for Subway: https://www.smh.com.au/traveller/inspiration/forgotten-subway-sandwich-costs-australian-traveller-jessical-lee-2664-on-arrival-home-20220721-h2576l.html

So it’s not surprising to me for being hauled up over a lunch… I’m likely biased as Australia and NZ have long been very strict about biosecurity.

What does seem strange to me is that in Australia, if I bring in something they don’t like, they turf it and let me through?? No fine or anything. Admittedly I go through the “Declare” line, and am open about what I’m unsure about.

Sometimes there’s just something that seems wrong. Why did the man turn back? Why did he then claim someone had called out to him? The OP felt something was off and acted on it.

People downvoting don’t realise this has happenned in some countries: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninoy_Aquino_International_Airport_bullet_planting_scandal#:~:text=The Ninoy Aquino International Airport,Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA)

Small thing?

Some places do early check-in and late check-out, and yet others actually have the capacity for you to hire the place for a day rate.

Capsule hotels would be ideal for this.

Well aren’t we fucked. Guess we’re just even more fucked, and faster.

Best hope I do die before 60, it’s going to be fucking miserable by then.

I have absolutely encountered way more smug meat eaters than vegans or vegetarians… They go out of their way to make sexual jokes about forcing some sausage down people’s throats, too.

An enby I encountered a fair bit back home would call everyone friend, and I might refer to people as folks. I am lucky I’m Australian, so mate also works.

Don’t use one as I’m still slowly buying what I need, and my bike takes pannier racks. 😂

You might want to see if anyone sells a ring lock solution for yours, as at least with my bike the options will elevate the bag from the tank.

Flip side, how much do you need to carry? Would a tank bag work?

The 3m 6035 filter only has a replacement schedule for infection control reasons, implying the outside may become too contaminated.

It was the original pandemic filter (there is a model up that does organic vapours too), marketed as being used for at least one pandemic wave.

No filter will last 10 years of daily use, at some point even your washable car filters or cleanable air purifier filters clog up and break down. But these are very long lasting for what they do, and I can see someone being able to stretch them out to one every six months, if in a hospital setting.

Kaos, according to Pratchett.

There was some other study done way earlier which compared ethnic first and last, western first and ethnic last, and western first and last.

The results are as you can expect…

That you have kept in touch means the school didn’t try hard… 😂

Iirc the increase in people driving instead of flying due to 911, lead to more accidents and deaths. :(
