Costco isn’t like precariously stacking a 2,000lb pallet of home gym weights on the very edge of the highest shelf or anything equally dangerous…

I live in one of the places I referenced, and just this week we were talking about the almost comical amount of Kirkland brand water bottles our local has for some reason (like 20x pallets in the overflow): All stored on the top shelf of a pallet rack. An earthquake hits, a pallet of water bottles is definitely going to make an impression on the people below.

So I feel like you've turned up to hand-wave away potential dangers by referring vague "safety requirements" and "Costco would never do that" under a thread where Costco did, in fact, do just that.

I sound like a douchebag middle manager, unfortunately.

Two things:

• That button does actually turn the snowflakes off, but there is an 11-second delay.
  
• Why: Because the way the snowflakes are implemented is terrible. They're actually spawning a bunch of <div> tags in the page's body, one per snowflake, with a style tag containing an animation. It takes roughly 11-seconds for the last snowflake/div to move from the top of the overlay to the bottom, and off the screen.
  

TL;DR: The snowflake button at the top works, just wait 11-seconds. Not defending the blog author, just for the sake of anyone wanting to read this without the annoying distraction.

This is US specific:

• Tax
  
• Social Security / Medicare & Disability Eligibility Spousal benefits
  
• Military / Veteran Spouse Benefits
  
• Medical / Death Decisions (essentially a defacto power of attorney)
  
• Cheaper Health Insurance
  
• Family Leave / FMLA
  
• Defacto inheritance / property
  
• Legal standing to bring lawsuits on their behalf (e.g. wrongful death) and spousal privilege in criminal cases
  
• Immigration benefits
  

Just to name some. We should all know this because gay people just spent the last 30+ years fighting for them and have iterated them countless times.

There is no "toilet bowl water" used by a bidet. They're connected into the supply line...

Bidets self-clean before and after every cycle. The outside requires a wipe, but it is no different from a standard toilet bowl clean.

OP just created another thread essentially admitting it here:

The only times I hit the front page and get more than 100 upvotes is when I have gpt write the post, then I rewrite gpt to make it less obvious. I first did this to test my own conspiracy theory. My first attempt hit the front page with 2M views and 11K upvotes with over 2K comments. It was surprising to me, I didn't expect the first experiment to go so well.

Indeed, good batteries do leak less. Duracell commonly leak and have been for the last three years+, therefore they're not good batteries.

Duracell's marketing is the best, I'll grant them that.

I want to see them try at least. Write the damn thing, and let the vote occur. If it doesn't get enough votes then so-be-it, but the history books will remember.

Keep in mind a lot of the amendments we have today didn't pass their first vote or sometimes took YEARS to finally ratify. However, by creating it, and getting it on record you're moving the discussion forward.

I will add that the wording needs to be absolutely perfect or a court will eventually undermine it with an interpretation.

Bibigo Sticky Race Bowls.

They taste significantly better than such a product (90 sec, microwave) has any right to. The price is fair. I only wish they also offered a 4 serving version for a family meal (although that may hurt the taste/have logistical problems).

Most competitor products are trash.

LOST as a show leaned heavily on the "mystery box" concept. It piles mystery box on mystery box, and at the time the show runners gave interviews wherein they provided assurances that they'd answer the mysteries. Instead, they introduced magic or some hand-wave answer that raised more questions than it answered.

If you watch LOST expecting answers you will be left with blue balls. People who claim "tHeY aNsWeR eVeRyThiNG" are just simps that should be ignored, the "answers" are throwaway one-liners without substance. The show isn't interested in answers, only asking the coolest questions possible.

So if you're someone that doesn't need answers, just cool questions/situations/scenes, then go right ahead. Then you can be one of those people coming back here telling us how we just "didn't understand the ending?!" because we didn't like it.

This is one of those "true, but super unhelpful to the average person" pieces of advice. As in, it is advice that actually hurts people's weight loss goals. Obviously nobody is anti-exercise, but if we're talking purely about body-fat reduction it is easy to see why eating less is king without even leaving an Excel spreadsheet.

Let's take a piece of common unhealthy food and convert it to exercise equivalents.

McDonald's Fry:

• Small: 230 Cal.
  
• Large: 480 Cal.
  
• Difference: -250 Cal.
  

Making a better choice takes one-second, going to the gym to burn the extra 250 Cal takes:

• Walking: 75-minutes
  
• Jogging: 35-minutes
  
• Cycling: 25-minutes
  
• Swimming: 30-minutes
  
• Strength Training: 70-minutes
  
• Elliptical: 20-minutes
  
• Rowing: 20-minutes
  

This is even more absurd with drinking calories which aren't satiating at all or adding sauces/condiments. Exercise is great, everyone should exercise, but for people looking at losing over 10-lbs who aren't eating correctly, they aren't going to see much weight loss progress and will burn-out/quit. The biggest risk here is quitting by far, not min/maxing like some top tier athlete.

The phase "you cannot out-run the fork" is accurate. People have a habit of over-estimating how much exercise burns and under-estimating how many calories' food provides. So they go to the gym, don't change their diet, and actually gain weight. Then they give up. Rinse/repeat.

Fitness is 100% exercise. Body fat reduction is 80/20 diet or more. You can focus on your diet with free apps/spreadsheets, you don't need that $100/month gym membership. You can save that until you're near your goals and need the last 5/10 lbs (and want to be in better shape/live a longer life).

PS - People who start new/more exercise also need to study the impacts of normal inflammation ("your body repairing itself, and becoming more adapt to exercise"). Inflammation is a good thing vis-a-vis exercise, but people commonly use body-weight scales for tracking, and the "water weight" can give you e.g. +5/10 lbs for a couple of weeks. This can cause people to quit in frustration, which as I said above is the risk.

You seen this post on Reddit? I don't know if you're in Utah, but it is exactly the same as your story:

Only if we ignore the scientific data that says it isn't and just do what make us feel superior to others.

And even if the ER did, somehow, it wouldn't be an ER nurse's job. Very odd story.

This inconsistency feels like a systemic issue with Costco's processes. What I mean is, if it is up to an employee's innate skill for the sandwich to sink or swim, then you aren't producing a consistent product.

A lot of sandwich shops solve this by either premeasuring the filling or having a "Sauce Gun" that deposits e.g. 2-ounces per trigger squeeze, and then have them do that three times along the top spaced out. Means no matter where, or no matter by whom, the sandwich should be just as good.

Assuming the police were even correct, any law that would prosecute someone for taking pictures of their own body is poorly conceived. I cannot imagine a public benefit in prosecuting an 11-year-old or any other child for such a thing, nor do I expect that was the intent when the law was considered. Now, on the other hand, an adult knowingly asking someone underage to "send nudes" or similar, seems like it should be a crime.

My point is:

• This is messed up.
  
• If the police happened to be correct about Ohio's laws (i.e. "self child porn" and not illegal for an adult to proposition an 11-year-old for nudes), then legislators need to fix this ASAP.
  

Either way, feels like the police were trying to get out of doing work. Very least they could have informally spoken to the man. Makes one wonder why someone would become a police officer at all if this situation doesn't unsettle/upset them, if I were a cop shutting this shit down would give me immense job satisfaction like no other.

Summary:

• Update to 2007 standards from a CDC advisory committee. Draft released in June. Committee was slated to vote Aug. 22, but it postponed the vote until November after negative feedback.
  
• Hospitals throughout the United States typically follow advice.
  
• Committee claims:
  • N95 face masks are equivalent to surgical face masks in certain settings
    
  • Doctors and nurses need only surgical masks when treating patients infected by “common” viruses, like the seasonal flu.
    
  • Citing studies that found no difference in infection rates among health providers who wore N95 masks versus surgical masks in the clinic.
    
• However:
  
  • Conclusion runs contrary to the CDC’s 2022 report, which found that an N95 mask cuts the odds of testing positive for the coronavirus by 83%, compared with 66% for surgical masks and 56% for cloth masks.
    
  • Excludes a large clinical trial published in 2017 finding that N95 masks were far superior to surgical masks in protecting health workers from influenza infections.
    
  • Contradicts an extensive evaluation by the Royal Society, the United Kingdom’s national academy of sciences, finding that N95 masks, also called N95 respirators, were more effective against Covid than surgical masks in health care settings around the world.

It is corruption. They're breaking existing laws on the books, and the evidence is clear as day. But they aren't prosecuted because they're able to "network" (pay off) people at the top of the DoJ and other law enforcement agencies. But because the corruption doesn't look like some white envelope with hundreds in it, but rather jobs for them or family members, and "speaking fees" it gets ignored (least of all because the same people enforcing and breaking laws at the same).

Congress could look into it, but they're "networking" at that level too.

This narrative will be used, as is standard, for anti-union messaging.

Essentially pit one relatively poor person (car buyer) against another (assembly line worker), and encourage you to fight one another while executive salaries are off the charts, and they're the ones trying to ship jobs off-shore. Vehicle prices rose almost 40% in the last three years, but it is definitely the assembly line worker asking for a small COL increase that caused it, and not corporate greed...

Unfortunately people will fall for this yet again, just like they always do.

The movie wherein all the wealthy people could afford to leave town, as the serfs fight it out over scraps or petty disputs, or even use it as an opportunity for literal human hunting for sport. That movie is the wealthy's wet dream.

They're literally spending money right now to keep the lil people fighting each other about social issues while they continue to skim and scam billions of dollars off the top.
