I would have to wonder if there were any nurses/doctors that found themselves spinning a fidget spinner later that day. Maybe they knew where it came from… maybe they didn’t.

Yeah, children play with their genitals far more than I ever wanted to believe. I don’t really remember doing it as a kid, but it wouldn’t surprise me if most parents, including mine, have stories about the odd things that happen.

Just repeating what the others said, but the 40 hour work week is brutal enough on balancing home and family. When I would pull overtime shifts and work 60-80 hour weeks, only a fool would have been able to look at what was going on and call it reasonable. I’d come home from work, if it was day 6 I would throw the clothes in the wash, crawl into bed, wake up and shower, put on the work uniform, and go back to work.

Food was whatever restaurant or fast food joint a coworker was heading to, and maybe some peanut butter or crackers at home.

I was single then, and no kids or true responsibilities outside of work. It would have been insanity to try and add significant chores and child-rearing to that timetable, and any romance with the partner would be impossible. It doesn’t have anything to do with gaming, much less your wife and family.

That’s honestly nothing. I had a coworker who had been recently married and invited us to dinner. I go to his house, and there’s a gun in the shower, a gun in the kitchen, a gun in the living room… Like, at that point just wear the gun on the belt, my man.

Hey, don’t knock it till you try it. It’s the newest fad, baby!

Shock, or loss of perfusion to the tissues, can be painful. The most common cause of angina pectoris is brief interruption of blood flow to the heart. That’s the reason that heart attacks can be painful.

Username fucks out(hole).

Lol, it took me until I was 12 to figure that one out. I always thought women had cloacas, like birds. Turns out that a curious kid with an aging encyclopedia and parents that absolutely did not want to talk about biology are a bad combination.

I don’t think tax brackets are explained very well. I’m relatively intelligent, and didn’t understand until I was in my early 20s, at my first real job, and made a comment during the financial retirement introduction. Luckily the person leading the orientation took 30 seconds and blew my mind.

That can happen, depending on your company’s payment software. One place I worked at would calculate the expected tax burden based on the highest paycheck you made, so if you worked 50% overtime (thus making 175% of your normal paycheck), it would be placing you in a way higher tax bracket for the rest of the year, and you’d have to reclaim it all in the refund when you did your taxes.

This is when they implement the backdoors that britain is requiring. /s

How did I take it? They still have it. Theft is defined as depriving the owner of property (in most places).

I think unidentified girl at bat has got that one.

It’s not a thing, sorry. You’ve been misled. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/yellowstone-volcano-erupt-more-magma-found

Here’s a video with a really cool dive into the science behind it. https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=ypn3Fe_PLts

Yep. I’m embarrassed to admit it, but valve dropping support for windows 7 was what made me switch to linux. Until the computer stops working for the average user, they won’t change.

Noooooo. There was an article in the last 6 months about someone connecting a windows xp to the internet just to see what happened, and within 10 minutes it had been scanned and infected. They repeated the experiment several times.

It’s child’s play (like, literally script kiddie level) to run automated scans and if a vulnerability, like a really old operating system, is found to then attack it.

Oh, damn, I forgot about that game. Nice memory jog.

You’re not wrong, but good luck watching out for a vehicle approaching you at a 30 mph differential (which is what I recall from fortnine covering the topic years ago) from behind.

I can’t verify. I was in a deep red state for a while, and I know I drove past about 15 various roadside memorials that were there for 10+ years in some cases.

Are you sure it’s not a reference to the tv show Heroes (tm) (R) (CC) (CCP) (CCCP) (littleoldladywho), and thus he has an unhealthy obsession with savior-figures that transcend the physical boundaries set by the unbreakable rules off reality? The game must be Superman 64, known for its trendsetting skyfall imagery and fast gameplay.
