Georgia cops proudly show off ecstasy pills, after high-speed freeway chase over traffic violation, and crash caused by PIT-maneuver
  • The police didn't cause the chase. They participated in it, of course but I don't think it's reasonable to hold them responsible for the chase happening in the first place. The drug dealer(s?) could have stayed put.

    eta: I am by no means a police apologist or a "back the blue" type, either. There is plenty wrong with how police do the job they have but this isn't that

  • New idea I'm gonna try out
  • This is a good plan

  • Baldur’s Gate 3 Reignites Age-Old Save Scumming Debate - IGN
  • I would get bored of a D&D session that started the exact same way every time I fucked up and died though. I'm not great at these games and I am embarrassed to say I was killed more than once on my first playthrough before even leaving the crash site.
    Hoping mods or expansions (which seem unlikely) open the world up a lot more and allow for other starting scenarios.

  • I love that the tail hanging down sort of looks like it's his testicles and the base of the shaft that needs to be censored but the tip is just fine

  • What's Everyone Playing in Their First Playthrough?
  • custom high elf sorcerer with draconic bloodline -I spent way too long on character customization lol

  • The New 'Futurama' Successfully Reboots the Show for 2023
  • I was surprised to realize it had been 10 years since the previous finale

  • Can You Spot the Bot? Study Finds ChatGPT Almost Undetectable in Medical Advice
  • As an AI Language model, I think taking cephalexin for your ear infection is recommended since you have had a previous allergic rash reaction to amoxicillin.

  • How often have games made you do a double take in real life?
  • January 4, 2012 -had been playing skyrim like I needed the overtime for just about 2 weeks. Off on a ski trip, and someone was seated nearby, but facing away. My first thought was how I could pickpocket them...

  • We Don’t Have to Live Like This
  • I'd argue it's actually "most places" rather than "many". It's not so obvious in day-to-day life but like if I had to take an ambulance tonight, me and my estate would be on the hook for the bill, but a billionaire would not be.

  • I'm currently playing Divinity Original Sin 2
  • Does it have a local co-op mode? Like can my SO and I play on the same machine at the same time if we have appropriate controls? Or would we need to get 2 copies and play on our respective machines together?

  • Hacking
  • Not a programmer, but I can definitely attest that TV Medicine is wildly inaccurate. From CPR (method, success rate, reason for initiating) to the usefulness of various imaging modalities; it's like watching a gardener plant a whole watermelon and growing a sky-high beanstalk the following morning.

    A really fun intersection of both of these was the episode of Bones I saw once when visiting my dad, where some corpse had a microscopic code etched in its femur that then hijacked/hacked the CT machine computer when scanned.

  • We should defederate from lemmynsfw
  • I think the larger point is that you can still block domains you don't want to see, but in this particular case defederation should happen. Both things can co-exist

  • How do you deal with pre-interview anxiety?
  • Propanolol (and other beta blockers) ... blocks a type of` receptor found on cells call beta adrenergic receptors. In the heart, beta blockers work to help with rate control.
    Cocaine activates beta and alpha adrenergic receptors. Activating alpha adrenergic receptors can cause vasoconstriction.

    Combining them, you get unopposed alpha activity, leading to coronary artery constriction, and a significant increase in risk of heart attack.

    edited to change "ion channel" to "receptor"

  • How do you deal with pre-interview anxiety?
  • If it is severe (heart pounding in your ears, can't think straight, tremors, etc) talk to your doctor. You might benefit from propanolol, a beta blocker (heart rate medication) that is also used in low doses for performance anxiety.

    Please do NOT seek this out and take it without consulting a physician. Absolutely do not take it if you are also using cocaine at all.

    An irrepressible spark of joy deep in my heart/soul/amygdala. I'm not immune to sadness, nor do I desire to be, but I do strive to return to happiness
