One time I was playing modded Skyrim when it froze/crashed at the loading screen

So I summon task manager, it hides behind the frozen game. I alt+tab and start blind keying to Skyrim to end it, been here hundreds of times, but nothing happens and the Skyrim world music STARTS???!!!

ALT+TAB to see TM and Skyrim both reporting non-responsive. Tab to Skyrim and press w, clearly hear character moving and reacting to my input

Try again to end process via ALT+F4, No dice. Try via TM, still unresponsive

I had to reboot my PC with a hard power button press that time and I still don’t fully understand what the FUCK happened

This woman died only because she was honest with her doctor about her alcohol use

No, and it even says so in the article

She quit about 5 months before her death when transplants require 6-12 months of sobriety. She was drinking regularly with the fucked up liver before that diagnosis, and liver damage isn’t something that just suddenly appears.

She kept drinking despite what would have been intense cramping pain and a slow death, thats why she was denied (addiction) and ultimately died

Note that the article says her partner was a compatible donor but the system refused to accept him because she used alcohol

And as the article also says it’s incredibly dangerous for someone to get a live-donor transplant when they’re in bad shape like she was, as failure of that means they’ll need to let her die on-table or transplant a good dead one into her (which she was denied for, due to her drinking)

It’s sad, but this woman died to alcohol abuse, pure and simple

I think I was the only pre-teen that knew of Cab Calloway and could sing “hi-de-ho” .

I thought the same thing at that age, and then my music teacher at the time was like “oh hey fun fact I played Minnie The Moocher with Callaway before he died” and busted out a picture of him with Callaway

He and I both played trumpet so I learned how to play those lines from someone who performed with the legend himself, and Ive always thought that was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done

It fell out of alignment and no matter what I do it refuses to properly calibrate

Every test print for a month failed no matter what I did because it wasn’t moving properly and contacting support got me less than nowhere

If I ever get medicated again it’s on the list of shit to sit down and figure out cuz I bet a part is loose somewhere OR the firmware went insane and needs reinstall

The resin is used to make a mold for silicone by inverting the 3d model, I’ve done it for a couple of pipe ideas before to see if they’d be cool (I’m bad at 3d design is what I learned)

I also know a guy who uses some EXPENSIVE resin that’s apparently safe to use in medical situations, so I assume breathing through that once it’s done with its treatment is probably fine, but I’d never do it with my cheap shit, even being in the room with it hurts with my mask on (hyperbole)

God it’s posts like this that make me wanna fix my 3d printer

Not for cigarettes but like, the dispensary near me sells the double blunt adapter for wayyyy too much and I could print one with the resin I have if my printer wasn’t a lil bitch about things, and a triple-chamber for a 3-strain hit sounds so goddamn fun

Stay mad, bby

the appropriate response to someone pointing out the discrepancy is “you’re right, I may or may not care enough to do something about my own casual usage of the language” shut the fuck up we all know what’s meant here

FTFY

If this is true:

linking a definition that everyone knows

Then they already knew they’re being a pedantic jackass and wanted to do it anyway. The correct response to a person like that is dismissal, as they’re providing nothing to the conversation.

Using a trans person’s original name when they’ve chosen a new one

But giving them shit for a pretty rational way of showing support to their idol is not the right use of your energy.

Laughing at idiots is never not the right use of my energy, thank you very much.

You are participating in the fragmentation of your nation by pouring your hate into simple stuff like this.

I’ll feel guilty about it when it isn’t fascists I’m fragmenting out of my country. If anything, I’m proud to make those fucks uncomfortable in my country.

I’ve also heard it used almost exclusively in terms of “getting rid of someone/something from where it currently is”, most commonly “86 that thought/idea” in place of “forget that” or similar

Turns out it originally is from food menus

Short Skirt / Long Jacket

Great song whose music video includes some beautiful shots of early 2000s Sacramento (where they’re from), including local news anchorwoman Dierdre Fitzpatrick when she was an in-the-field reporter!

Funny enough he really was the safest and smartest guy on the team, the burning flip flop was someone else’s fault lol

They’d poured some unknown diesel on the ground and held a lighter to it (testing if it was tainted with gasoline, it’ll burn if so) and apparently it was VERY gasoline mixed. Idiot grabs a WATER HOSE to spray it so safety manager, who’s on lunch and pulling into the yard jumps out of his truck and stomps on the fire to put it out. Just as the first guy sprays the water.

The fire skitters and lights the flip flop on fire, which safety manager kicks off without a thought because it was ON FUCKING FIRE, he just happened to arc it perfectly over the 500g dispenser tank. Another coworker ran over from “off camera” and doused it like 5 seconds after that, it was truly a comedy.

If safety manager was around then all of us yardies were in our steel toes, Anti-Flame gear, and wearing a mask and glasses if the work called for it. He was in the office 90% of the time dealing with bullshit though so we 3 idiots and an actually autistic guy that was so bad he needed supervision just to live (yeah they let him work around EXPLOSIVES) regularly did shit that would have gotten us shut the fuck down, and rightfully so. Gotta eat, though, so…

Oh there’s more like it, too, lol. Like the time a tank WASNT actually empty and I popped the valve off (I had done everything to bleed it off, the bleeder was stuck full of bug gunk I’d later find out). I was deaf for 5 minutes, the valve landed 1 building over, luckily didn’t hit anyone/anything.

Then there’s the time the cigarette guy climbed up the back of a fuel truck and popped the tank and looked in. He had a cig in his mouth, lit, and thought it was a diesel truck. It was a gas one. Had it been more empty (this fumes) he’d likely have blown his stupid ass up. Instead, he jumped off and twisted his ankle. I unironically hate that man with a passion for many, many reasons.

Or the time my co-worker was doing knife work and just stabbed himself in the gut. That one’s a classic: overconfidence in cutting TOWARDS one’s self.

Ooh, ooh, a good one: trimming trees with a chainsaw while on a pallet on a forklift 20ft in the air, held on by a rope tied around your WAIST. That was also the safety manager lol

I’ve said it elsewhere on Lemmy:

I work in propane. I once was proud that I sold the most ez-go (stupid and basically useless accessory) in one month. my name starts with Ha-

I live in CA and prefer charcoal but otherwise I have become the professional persona of Hank Hill. My boss and I tried to get them to put “Hill” on one of my work shirts when I was still in the yard as a joke but Cintas said no

I work in propane and have since late 2015. Used to work in the yard refilling, re-valving, painting, etc. these cylinders and tanks.

One of those things I did was empty (purge) the tanks before I pulled the valves out. Normally you do this by hooking them to a burn tower that pulls the fuel out and burns it away like 15 feet above everyone’s head. My company didn’t have permission from the city for they do we set up a tower anyway and just let the fuel pour out of it. You can imagine how… Fucking stupid that was?

Many times (I literally cannot count) people walked out with lit cigarettes and I was ready to die.

There’s also the time my safety manager lit his flip flop on fire and kicked it over the propane dispenser WHILE IT WAS ON FIRE

Also: never swap your propane tanks at one of these cage services. Many of them will aim to give you a close to, or fully out of date tank so you cannot get them filled at a normal fill spot. They’re also insanely expensive. If the swap out is $25 for a 5-gallon tank then you’d need to be spending $5/gallon at the dispenser for it to be even close in price, and if your propane dispenser is selling it to you for that or more then you’re being fucked

I work in propane and some body actually did this ~3 weeks ago with one of our cages

It’ll not explode, but it’ll burn the cage down along with anything the cage is near should a spark catch, they’ll go up in flames FAST

loser, and French

Why are you repeating yourself?
