Then it points up.

Sites will block content or require age verification by state, so if you're connected to a VPN server located in one of those states you'll see stuff like that.

They're not admissable as evidence from what I understand, but rather they're used to coax a confession (whether or not it's a false confession is irrelevant) out of their ~~victim~~ suspect.

I wonder if this has anything to do with why they're cutting education programs from their budgets left and right... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I thought yellow was mainly used for that, and cyan was used to enrich/enhance the deepness of the black or something. I remember something about blues being combined with black ink for that reason at least. Either way, screw inkjets, all my homies use laser.

Tldr:

All 1,600 employees of the brand new electric vehicle battery plant in Kentucky will be laid off before Ford converts it to manufacture batteries for data centers and other utilities.

Mine has a knob that dings when it hits zero. The only way to turn it off is to twist the knob to zero, so it dings regardless.

Alternatively, make both genders put the lid down. That way everyone has to do the same work to pee.

I knew a guy that was tortured to death in prison by medical staff for having stomach cancer and bothering the nurses too much about it.

At first, before diagnosis, he couldn't keep food down. He asked for a medical exam and they scheduled one like a week out, but canceled it because his blood pressure was too high. The next one was cancelled as was the one after that. By the time they actually looked at him, the cancer had spread and gone terminal. He was going to die by medical neglect.

Some time later, his esophagus ruptured in the night, and the nurse they called at home to check on him said he was faking over the phone, so they locked him in a TV room through the night because he wouldn't stop screaming in pain. Around 9am they got him to a hospital but the damage had already gone septic and he died.

On paper, prisoners might have better "healthcare" but I will never forget the horror stories of people who have actually had to deal with the system. The medical people in prisons will not give a single shit about these people's lives and will actively work against them for being minority inconvenienced.

Their most amazing survival trait is evolving to domesticate humans into protecting them and providing lush environments for them to thrive.

But on a serious note a lot of agricultural plants do not have any of those listed survival traits, not at least not to the extent that people will not use pesticides.

Similar style to an artist that was in my high school named Connor. If that's you hit me up I guess 😂

 

Most people are over-charging for old, worn-out TVs on places like Craigslist and Ebay, now that people are realizing how much better they are for retro gaming. I saw this one for $25 and had to check it out.

I had to clean up the corrosion in the remote to be able to change to the AV input, but it works well enough. Threw it on the kitchen counter to test it out.
