I’ve been out drinking with both kiwis and aussies, and the casual nature of how frequently it’s used has dulled any offensiveness and shock value. Hell, half the time it was even used casually as part of a normal conversation. “I’m getting another round. Which one’ya cunts want one?”
Not in my 40s, but at the age of 37 I changed career completely (again) and returned to an industry I had left “for good” ten years prior.*
Some might argue that [certain age] is too late to change career, but I counter with [certain age] being too late to still work a dead-end job you strongly dislike.
If you’re anything like me, handing in that three month notice, or whatever you have will immediately feel like a mistake. Heart racing, second thoughts, and every other version of doubt. But if you line up something new beforehand you’ll be alright.
As for wasting time, no. Stop comparing yourself against those psychopaths who knew what they wanted to do from the age of 16. I didn’t know what I wanted to be until 40 because that’s when my career actually started to feel “right” in that I like what I do, and I don’t see myself doing anything else.** You’re not wasting time, you’re learning valuable lessons. And having a skillset and a career you can return to if th8ngs don’t go way is only a positive.
*: The last thing I heard when calling it a night during crew change after way too many beers was a coworker telling me “Oh you’ll be back. I simply can’t imagine you as anything else than a doodlebugger”. If you’re reading this, Eric, you were right.
**: On the few bad days I have at work I still half-jokingly state “fuckit, I’m leaving for the closest big construction project. Imma be a crane driver from now on.”. It seems pretty chill to sit alone in that tower all day, just lifting stuff from A to B. I’ve driven a lot of huge offshore cranes, and those huge tower cranes seem comparatovely easy when you don’t have to account for lists, swells, shock loading, and roll/pitch.
I’ve witnessed many lithium battery fires with my own eyes, as part of my job (long story, not as interesting as it may sound), and while there is a lot of heat and energy involved, to the point where it competes with a hand grenade in terms of energy density, the energy release isn’t nearly as instantaneous (except from special circumstances regarding primary cells, but that’s also a long tangent that isn’t as interesting as it may sound).
The main concern is the offgassing and the heat. I am not a corpsologist, but I believe offgassing shouldn’t present a problem in a crematorium. I hear they have advanced hitech gadgets such as “chimnseys” and “filters”. (Citation needed)
As for the heat, lithium battery fires reach 1100 degrees C under optimal condition and while that is, to use a technical term, hot as fuck, anything built to withstand cremation temperatures every day for years should be able to withstand lithium fires that one day. It will certainly get hot, but probably not destructively so.
As a final note, yes, there will be pressure release, but the pressure wave is most likely negligible compared to the structural integrity necessary for a crematorium to carry its own weight. As briefly mentioned before, the pressure release of a battery is not instantaneous, and this is by design.
That sounds like a peertube front-end with extra steps
One of my favorite villain-death-scenes of all time
That’s several feet, yes, but clearly smaller than 6.
Q.e.d
Lies, nobody can make a burger that big
Should’ve called it a 2/6 pounder
It tastes pretty “normal”, it’s just the prep method that is very strange to most, which gives it a different texture (extremely tender). The only strange part about the flavor (to many) is the fact that mustard is used on fish, but I consider that optional. I like it, tho.
If prepped poorly, it fucks up both the flavor and the texture, and the result can be anything from jell-o that tastes extremely of fish (too much lye for too long), to just regular boiled cod (watered too long or boiled too long, or not enough lye.
And using quality Stockfish as a starting point is of course essential.
And no, it doesn’t taste of lye. It might have the tiniest hint of it, but not too much. It’s not really noticeable because of the bacon and mustard.
A really picky Texan I know liked it, so that’s an indication that the end-result isn’t that strange.
Oh, and the actual ammonia flavor is reserved for various kinds of candy.
Lutefisk, probably. But doing it well from scratch will take you half a year, and it’s easy to fuck up.
I hear Brunost somehow became very popular in South Korea, but that’s not really a dish on its own.
Fårikål is less known, but easy as hell to make. Traditionally the only spices are whole black pepper and salt, but I stumbled across a persian dish that wasn’t that different, so I’d think whichever spices and herbs you normally use with lamb would work well.
Generally, personal items don’t raise any eyebrows. I’ve carried my own gadgets widgets and doodads through customs in a bunch of countries, and nobody ask any questions.
I also b®ought a laptop to Brazil for a coworker there, so he could avoid tariffs, and that was fine. But I made sure to get rid of the original packaging just so it wasn’t obvious that I was bringing something brand new and recently purchased abroad.
To add to this, I deal with massive storage clusters, and it is my firm professional opinion that hardware raid necessitates a proper raid controller with cache vault. If you have that, then you’re golden. If not, stick to software raid.
Put a banana in your eeeaaaar 🎶
Pretty much this.
I was part of the piracy scene in the early 00’s, and it pretty much went like this:
Being loved isn’t what should drive you. Your love for something or someone should be.
External validation is always nice, but you should be able to function without it. If you don’t, then you have a truly uphill battle in front of you if being loved is your end goal.
That’s his birth name, yes. But as an artist, his stage name was Joseph Goebbels.
Not to be confused with the R&B propagandist whose birth name is Joseph Goebbels, with stage name Chris Brown
Good Work summarized it better than I ever could: https://youtu.be/W0ltbBby9FU
Anthony Scaramoochi (or however he spells his name… yes, that guy) said it best. To paraphrase:
“Young people. The boomer generation (my generation), and all the losers associated with it spent all their political power in ruinous ways, and only emboldened the next generations in their political convictions and you already see a lot of them pointing correctly at where the faults lie, and how the geritocracy serves nobody”
Of all people to give an interesting interview lately, I really did not expect it to be him. You can find it pretty easily on youtube. It was called “38 minutes with…” or something like that. Maybe it was 28 minutes.
In other words, below a certain age, there is overwhelming support in working together for a better future for everyone. The current political class will die out with no heritage beyond everyone knowing how badly they fucked up.
EDIT: Found the interview. Also, it’s Scaramucci.
