Ah, yes. Boneless mice, also known as terrestrial quadropodes. I’m pretty sure they’re related to the chickens we get boneless wings from.

Don’t worry. It’ll actually be newsome.

I have a company van I take home every night and a gas card for it. Also my paid hours start the moment I leave my driveway and stop the moment I pull back in my driveway.

But the best perk is that I have an excuse to spend all my money on tools. I would have done that anyways, but now it’s justified.

If its the stuff I’m thinking of then the grenage will definitely bounce. That film is called huricane film because it’s designed to stop debris hucked by huricane force winds. If someone can pitch a grenade through that stuff then they have a future in MLB.

I’ve never had youtube block my VPN. Is they just something they only do on chrome or have I just been lucky so far?

When I was on the hiring team at work, I googled an applicant and discovered that they were arrested in the 90s for filming themself having sex with a cow. That is increadibly offputting but they had a clean record in the 30 years since then and even if they didn’t it was in no way applicable to the job in question so I simply disregarded that fact. Obviously I still knew they fucked a cow but I simply didn’t consiously factor it into the hiring decision. They did get the job btw.

I imagine it is the same for a jury. Obviously the jury can’t literally forget something that was said but they can consiously choose to disregard it when it comes to their final decision. Obviously it’s not perfect because any information admissable or otherwise will subconsciously influence someones verdict but if they try to actively ignore that info then it is better than nothing.

The AC systems use adiabatic gas coolers to minimize their footprint and electricity use. An adiabatic gas cooler works very similarly to a standard AC condenser except that there is an aditional piece of media on the air inlet side of the condenser coil which is kept perpetually wet. Basically as air is pulled through that media it evaporates water and cools that air basically down to the local dew point. This means colder air cooling the refrigerant condenser and thus a smaller more electricity efficient condenser.

Adiabatic coolers are especially popular on CO2 based refrigeration systems because of the low critical temp of CO2. Basically once the ambient temp gets above 75-80F a standard gas cooler can no longer liquify CO2 because it just goes supercritical instead which results in a more inefficient refrigeration process. Adiabatic coolers can largely mitigate that issue.

Of course this whole process could be done without using water but it would require more electricity. Basically someone did the math and found out that using water was cheaper than using more electricity so that’s what they did. If we want data centers to stop using up all our water then the easiest fix is to just start charging them more for water.

Who chose a real estate VP for commencement speaker in the first place. That’s the peraon we should be calling out of touch.

You’ve never had an infection which needed treatment, or broken a finger/toe, or needed some stitches?

A friend of my dads had a similar issue but it was caused by his internal defibrillator. The new ones are supposed to be better but back in the day aparently internal defibrillators kicked hard when they went off and this guy dreaded it every time which would cause him to panic until his heart rate spiked enough to set it off. He would feel his heart starting to speed up and he would start getting anxious about the defib going off which would make his heart rate spike more which would make him more anxious and that cycle would continue until the defib went off and basically hard reset him.

Damn. That’s fucking awful. I’m sorry you had to deal with that. It makes me extra glad for the crew I work with.

I agree with OP but I was also considering downvoting because the post just doesn’t feel like a shower thought. In the end I didn’t but I could definitely see people downvoting for that reason.

This feels more like an offmychest or casualconversation post than a showerthoughts post.

Men who hate women in generally will usually keep it to themselves in public for the most part. They’re not going to go on a tirade about how much they hate women to someone they don’t think is going to disagree with them, which might explain why you’ve not seen it personally.

Exactly this. Misogynists don’t talk about that shit with men who they don’t already know share the same views. They are universally fragile and insecure. They don’t want their beliefs challenged especially not by another guy. The way it works is, if they don’t know you they will say something that teeters on the edge of misogyny without being egregious enough that they will get called out for it. If you entertain whatever they say then they’ll start going mask off around you because they know you’re “safe”. If they get rebuffed then they keep the mask on around you.

I’ve known a couple of guys where various women have said that they were sexist creeps but I never got that from them. But in hindsight for both of those guys I remember an interaction where they would say something about a woman or women in general which just verged on inapropriate withough going into “dude wtf” territory. Both times I essentially just gave them a weird look and they never got near that line with me again.

This is why most guys don’t see misogyny nearly as often as women do. When a misogynist “tests the waters” with another guy they do it in a way that is subtle enough to seem entirely innocuous in the moment.
