You actually think they came through with a meal for those guys? I’m betting that bill was left unpaid

I would say it depends and could be one of those questions you don’t trust the Internet to answer. With the caveat I’ll happily add my bit of wisdom. If it’s filled with white and relatively new, sure try to relieve it.

1. try to see if there’s a pore clogged, do some gentle squeezing around it and see if you can find the offending pore. Also note if the bump is squishy or hard. If it’s full of fluid it might squirt right out along with a hair follicle or solidified oil
2. If you find a pore but can’t squeeze anything out, sterilize a needle (wipe with rubbing alcohol and let it air dry) and try to clean out the pore if you can
3. If you’re really stuck you could try to puncture the skin with the needle, but draining a cyst this way will likely only help temporarily and it will grow back
4. If it’s too large and/or full of “hard cheese” you may need to surgically remove it, meaning cut it open with a scalpel, drain the cyst, remove the sac, and close it back up. I would not advise doing this on your own, particularly on your face/nose and if you try this and fail to remove the sac it will potentially get infected and likely grow back soon anyway

Also, I am not a doctor and this is my opinion

It’s often not so simple as a person making a choice and knowing the outcome. There are often many tragic factors that contribute to the situation that resulted in the overdose. One common situation is someone is injured and prescribed opioids by their doctor, perhaps having been influenced by drug companies like Purdue pharma. As they take it they become addicted, eventually the doctor cuts them off and they go to other doctors, then they may find it easier to buy from a dealer, then they may find it more affordable to buy fentanyl, and then maybe they take too much or get a bad batch and od.

They didn’t start taking drugs knowing it was going to be a bad path, they started because their doctor prescribed it and by the time they figured out they were addicted they were no longer in control and may not have had the resources to get out. It’s often not just a question of willpower but one of support and resources to help you up.

There are many other scenarios, but it’s rarely a simple result of a few conscious choices and almost always a result of people suffering in bad situations and it’s ok to feel compassion and empathy even if they weren’t completely innocent in it all.

Watts are part of the electrical properties along with volts and amps. Laptop chargers have the same watts and volts but more amps. 

This is incorrect, Watts (power) is the product of amps * volts. The formula is P = IV. Anything with the same power and voltage will have the same amps.

The volume of power consumed would be Watts * time and gets you to capacity and usage units like watt-hours.

Exactly what I was thinking, I’m not sure of any example coming before the original Charlton Heston version.

Don’t have a name for the trope tho

Should be no hold sparred, they just hit each other, no holds

Yeah that’s terrible. I have an hour of stand-ups but that’s 4 teams, I’m not an IC on any of them.

Biden should straight up resign and hand over power to Kamala now. That would short circuit the nomination process and completely undercut any argument that she’s not up for the job if it’s no longer hypothetical and she’s actually just rocking it IRL.

but he never will, his ego won’t allow it

Given Biden’s condition, the Trump campaign will try to stoke irrational fears about a potential Harris presidency anyway. And the hypothetical, driven as it is by lurid right-wing fantasies, will necessarily be worse than the reality. That is, Harris can begin to defuse apocalyptic right-wing arguments against her—that she is some kind of left-wing radical who will render the country unrecognizable—by governing wisely for the remainder of the term.

Same here, I was a big fan of Nova until I discovered Niagara about a year ago. It’s a totally different concept from the icon based launchers. I love the minimalist approach to widgets and the self optimizing app list. Tying it in with sesame has led me that product as well and I’m finding the whole solution to be really nice

I mean just because you like taking a bath or swimming doesn’t mean you’re going to enjoy standing in the rain too

US here, before COVID I would tip delivery drivers but not if I was picking it up. Now I tip 10-15% for takeout and 20%-25% for table service. I’ve also come to understand that checking your order, packing the bag, and including condiments or extras all take time and I’ve decided I’m ok tipping for that if it helps them earn a more decent living.

When you’re talking about relative change, one degree F is 5/9 of a degree c, so if London cools by 18F that would be 10c.

Yeah I’ll admit I had to read that sentence a couple times before it got through to me that “barred” meant she was admitted to the bar.

Funny I never had much Star Trek gaming experience but have recently gotten into gaming more and been a lifelong Trek fan (maybe not an official Trekkie tho). this game looks pretty interesting and I’m now just learning about it since I also don’t pay attention to the epic store!

It may be a different technical skill than any of the hundreds of other ways to make art, but it still takes a human to conceive of a concept and skill to write a prompt that will generate the intended nuances and ideas.

Just because I can take a photo with one click on my phone doesn’t make it art any more than if I try withs a professional camera in manual mode. The art is in using the tools to create something new and beautiful in any medium.

Observing and learning from the natural world is in no way dumb, it is extreme hubris to think we humans are so smart that we don’t have to listen to nature. Or that society gets to be somehow outside of nature. It is that kind of logic that got us global warming, obesity & diabetes epidemic, big pharma, and loss of traditional knowledge and wisdom. If I see a momma holding her cub by the nape of the neck my first thought isn’t going to be that I know better how to care for her young.

I wouldn’t date any of those boring women

If a good looking guy comes along and he listens to Rogan, she won’t care at all.

If you think that, I get the feeling if a good looking woman came along you wouldn’t care at all if she was “boring”. But go ahead and keep virtue signaling on how picky you are while also assuming women aren’t.
