I fear it.

I’m sure I could adapt, I just don’t want to.

However, if there was a transition period it would be fine.

Teach it in schools, post signs for both for a while, a couple generations and boom, fully metric.

Just don’t tell me the speed limit is 30 kilometers an hour, I have no frame of reference for that really.

I had some severe sleep issues and ended up abusing DPH, not for any recreational effects I just needed to sleep. 9 days without sleep is bad. Torture.

I took 30 of those pink devils, just to sleep. I was that desparate.

Still didn’t sleep, but I went out back for a smoke and there was a spider towering over the houses in the neighborhood. Didn’t think anything of it while on the meds, just went out front to smoke lol. Also I had some common visitors in the corners of my bed room, cloaked in shadows whispery chanting in a language I couldn’t understand, while the darkness and certain patterns began to warp around me. But at the time it wasn’t concerning. DPH is a deleriant, line jimson weed and some other plants - they differ from hallucinogens in some interesting ways. Erowid has always been a good source on various substances for those inclined to research.

For those who may be concerned, I no longer take DPH much at all, last time was due to a new minor allergic reaction to something I haven’t been able to identify. Something was in that hookah tobacco my body didn’t like. Also, I’m sleeping better these days - in part due to having the right medical access, as well as rigorous sleep hygiene.

Don’t forget potentially useless proficiency skills.

A rogue with wis as a dump stat provably shouldn’t be making too many medicine checks lol.

Ive only messed with that origin once.

I’m still exploring builds, not so much because I’m unaware of the RAW stuff, but to see how its implemented in BG3. I haven’t left act one yet, lol.

I use a double edge razor, and the blades I use are on the “nicer” end, cost wise, and it comes down to about 11 cents a blade.

Now, I mostly just use clippers to take my beard down to a level my wife prefers, but when I had a job I had to shave daily for, I’d change it once a week because the blades are cheap.

That being said, I still use the DE to touch up certain other spots and its been months and months… I should change it out now that I’m thinking about it, lol.

Yes, its 110+ F here during the day… the attic… well a few years ago we had a guy out to service…

He FELL down the attic ladder due to heat stroke. Its one of those almost straight ladders that fold into the ceiling.

He was thankfully ok, and after some AC and water, was right as rain… I should say, he was a young guy in good health, and not only that a friend of a family member. We wanted to take care of him, first and foremost. If we thought medical attention was needed (and my own ass has had heat stroke, I know it) we would have called emergency services. We didn’t want to stick him with an ambulance bill (no insurance, private contractor) if he didn’t need it.

But fuck, 1k roaches? You know what, I’ll board the animals, use it as an excuse to get a nice hotel room with the wife, see if we can both take PTO for the week off and take an unprompted vacay, while the exterminator does their business.

That being said, 10 years ago, when I was much much poorer, with much more tenuous job stability… I’d take a knife up for the human in the attic, take the body to a family friend with a pig farm. Pigs make the best witnesses. They eat all the evidence, and can’t speak.

I’d rather re-fart my own fart, than have my dick dip into a public toilet again.

One is slightly, uncomfortable, maybe? The other opens the mind to all the diseases that could potentially infect your dick in a public toilet. Unlikely? Sure. Possible? In some cases, with some diseases, yes - however slim.

Built my first PC at 8 years old, no degree, and my family is comfortable - which is really as far as my aspirations went career wise.

I think, because I feel it myself while studying for a specialization (getting bored in my current role), its that people grow apathetic to learning after a point, coupled with the pace of life… Who has the time, energy, and focus to keep up with every new facet of tech?

Its my passion, and still I have trouble.

I worked in a pediatric hospital… attractive ladies were a dime a dozen. All batshit crazy though.

Sounds similar to a job I had at an old folks home.

Throw wage theft and other DoL labor violations in.

I was happy to hear to hear when the state shut them down.

Just wish I had been older and less naive, I should have documented and reported myself, but I was a dumb kid.

Not so much at the time. Just messy in a biohazardous way.

Now the next day, sans booze… Yeah. Basically butterflied my finger a bit.

I’m not sure I could identify every type of pain, but that was certainly one of them.

Learn from my mistake.

Don’t use a knife as the lever.

Doubly so if you’re already intoxicated.

Just because its theoretically possible does not make it a good idea.

I’ve seen it on incense labels, but never spoken outside of a churchy setting.

You mean someone would go on the internet and just tell lies?

Say it ain’t so.

Also, any “proof” that is presented as an edited image is clearly disingenuous from the beginning.

Due to my job I was a mandatory reporter for suspected child abuse.

This means I was legally liable to report any suspicion of child abuse or neglect. I could lose my job, face a fine, and/or face jail time.

I had to call CPS for a friend’s kid.

The friend was not the problem, her ex husband was.

Long story short, the kid is fine, and the friend now has a different spouse and many more kids with the new spouse, lol.

It was the right thing to do, even though the friend didn’t want to involve a government agency to handle it. Just caused a strained friendship for a while.
