“Means Matter”

Reducing access to more lethal means of suicide reduces deaths by suicide in a population. The data on this is unequivocal.

That’s because the majority of suicidal crises are spontaneous and of absurdly short duration, on the order of around 20 minutes. If you interrupt the process between decision and action, people survive. And 90% of people who survive a suicide attempt never go on to die by suicide at any future point in their lives.

Favorable terms with no means of legal leverage are just wisps of air. They can and will be rescinded at the earliest convenience of the corporation, which is literally why we’re in the current situation we are today. The strongest middle class in the US existed when unions were at their peak. That is not a coincidence.

A formal, legal union gives employees power and leverage to enforce the favorable terms that they negotiate with an employer. You can argue that unions as organizations can be subject to similar corruption as any other organization, but contrary to popular propaganda, there is nothing inherent in the existence of a union that requires or lends itself to corruption any more than any other power structure.

Employees are legally permitted to organize a formal, legal union of their own outside the existing union organizations, but then they’re starting from scratch. Existing unions have been through negotiations, have experienced lawyers, know the process and all of its pitfalls. The vast majority of workers are better off joining an existing union because of this.

Now I need a NileRed video on combustion in a fluorine atmosphere.

As a person who has had many cats in my life, I am of the opinion that two cats is the best number of cats. If you can afford to care for and have space for a second cat, I’d say go for it.

If you’re not really experienced with cats, be aware that cats almost never get along immediately. It can take weeks of them seeming to hate each other before they become friendly. It’s helpful to put the new cat in a cage where the current cat can see and smell them, but can’t reach them with claws. That gives them a little space to get to know each other before the current cat feels like its territory is being invaded.

Yep, that’s a strip mine

Ok I have no idea where you drove through, but the vast majority of the state is woodland and wetland. I spent my childhood summers just literally wandering around the woods all day with neighborhood kids while our parents were at work.

You were in a strip mining area.

Internal medical ethics controls do a pretty good job of dealing with this kind of nonsense though. You’re never going to get rates of that kind of insanity to zero, and legal regulations don’t make it any better.

Hahaha, he’s great. Jimothy is one of his most common side characters. And he uses your naming convention for lots of his other side characters. Jimothy, Todrick, etc.

I believe you have been watching too many Dr. Glaucomflecken videos, my friend.

Swapped out the head unit on my 2016 car for a touchscreen that supports Android Auto. I got spoiled using a similar one in my friend’s rental car. It was only $600 installed at Best Buy. It’s so nice not to have to fight with keeping my phone in a display holder where I can see the map, and now I can control my phone-streamed music with my steering wheel controls. Makes driving so much more pleasant.

Bitchin’

I knew a lady involved in a rollover accident in one of those old, flawed Ford Explorers back in the day. When she recovered, her solution to deal with her trauma and make herself feel safer on the road was…to buy an even bigger SUV with an even higher center of gravity.

Comment saved because my god I get so tired of trying to explain this to people, and I’ve never done so as eloquently as this.

Same. My Sennheiser Momentum 2s over ears are god damn workhorses and I’m very abusive. And the sound is fantastic.

I know, right? Trust me, as a nurse it makes it very challenging to recommend this brand to my colleagues lol

I definitely will check them out. Kuru were a god damned revolution in my life after years of struggling with Brooks and Hoka.

Do you routinely walk 3-4 miles a day on your feet for 12 hours in addition to full time wear outside work? I’m a nurse, dude. Yes, I replace my shoes long before they’re threadbare. These feet pay my mortgage.

Now I’m mad that I didn’t even make that pun on purpose lol

And the secret to goat mowing is you gotta move the stake that the goat is tied to around the yard so the goat can get all the grass and not just one circle

Reindeer in a restaurant in Helsinki. It was good, a lot like beef. The reindeer were farmed, so it wasn’t too tough or gamey.
