But half of them have a web link to go to another website’s main page, in order to manually find the overall 3rd party opt out, which it may or may not remember on the next site you visit that uses it, but you can’t tell so you better do it again anyway next time.

Even I get partway through and I wonder if I’m not getting too old for this internet shit. I guarantee most people are not bothering.

There was a fire at one of my local (Canadian) ones, and it seemed like it was closed rebuilding for almost a year, I’m wondering how much delay was investigation and how much was remediation.

Burnt plastics is one of the more rancid things I’ve come across in my industrial career.

I think these people are dumb as rocks myself, but it’s interesting to wonder why the bad decisions are made.

NSR I believe has a policy of not charging the costs of the rescues to those they pull off the mountains, to not discourage people calling for help when they really need it, but I’m sure that’s a struggle to justify some days.

To be fair, Vancouver, BC is a popular spot for tourists, especially those doing outdoor activities, who I suppose may come from places with a different hiking and trail culture, and different types of signage. Maybe Google maps is more accurate where they’re from? Maybe they just didn’t realize how much landscape detail the tree cover can hide. Lots of folks who come here don’t speak a lot of English in my experience as well. It’s still on them, though.

I’m not even a hiker though, the trails are just too packed full of people for me here.

I mean, there’s other kinds of public mental health institutions than full inpatient.

Why not have, say, a location with publicly-reimbursed psychiatrists and psychologists, where a person goes for an appointment?

I hate to say it, but maybe some groups of people need the shared experience of war to find common ground with each other enough to sit down and talk. Before that, they perceive they have nothing in common and treat people as “other.”

The perception of “other” being specifically programmed by various leaderships through propaganda and population conditioning is a separate but related issue.

When I clear a few time-sensitive projects, a Jellyfin deep dive is probably in the works.

Then yeah, the waiting on the vet sucks but is the best plan. He may need an anti-nausea med. Call them if the email hasn’t been answered by a reasonable time (say after 4-6 hours of their posted opening time today.) Emails are less time sensitive than a phone call.

Food can be swapped or supplemented with plain baked or boiled chicken, rice, and puréed pumpkin (NOT pie filling!) if they’ll take it.

My vet gives a probiotic any time she prescribes an antibiotic now, it’s called Fortiflora and it’s a packet you sprinkle over their food. Maybe ask about something like that?

My dog taking chemo also has a standing prescription for an anti-nausea drug. If it’s this constant for your dog, you should ask your vet about options for the next couple of week.

This is the literal only reason I haven’t tuned in. I’m not signing up and keeping track of yet another streaming service, especially one that’s only has one thing I want to watch. This show is the only one I’m actually missing right now.

I will say, I’ve been getting a lot more useful things done once I started cancelling streaming services that I hadn’t watched anything on in months.

Every time I open a streaming service now, the things I want to watch are locked into an extra subscription. I generally end up just walking away rather than watching anything, and when I do dig around and find some thing else that is available on “my tier,” it absolutely wasn’t worth it.

Forget even piracy, I’m just not watching anything anymore. When streaming makes my chore list look more attractive, they’ve definitely fucked up.

That being said, when I tried to change my country, it started pulling this loop of taking me to new Reddit layout to change my country, then when I switched back to old Reddit view it blanked my choice, which by their documentation probably means IP address location. Repeated that about 3 times before I gave up.

A very convenient technical glitch there….

Easier on the stomach than coffee, and free manufacturing break room coffee can be one of the harshest chemicals in industry.

Industrial maintenance here, I try and give only Starfleet Estimates when management sniffs around for their broken-ass machines back.

Then hey, I can get some of my 8 hrs done on the train and only have to sit in the office for 6 hours! Sounds like a win-win to me.
