I recently saw a knee replacement that used one of those ryobi oscillating cutters (the ones that were super trendy a few years back). Total garbage for home use, but man with a 3D printed cutting guide shaped to fit over the bone, they finished the osteo and arthroplasty portions in ten minutes flat. Just insane what we can accomplish when we combine modern volumetric imaging techniques with coupons for home depot.
People would never set foot in a hospital again if they found out how many orthopedic surgeries involve a dewalt drill at some point.
Doesn’t say great things about pakistans nuclear deterrence…
TL;DR: Backspoken approval for the assassination. Kill CEOs if you wanna get laid. CEOs are going to become robocop.
… yeah I stopped after that point. something about monarchy, it’s very tongue in cheek, eeh.
There were other people there, I mean he killed the guy while he was standing like 4’ away from a woman. The hotel staff phoned the cops once they realized what was going on, but the choice of ammo + silencer and that was early in the morning meant people were slow on the uptake. It was either really well planned or really lucky, or more likely both. The engravings on the rounds show at least enough forethought that it wasn’t a spur of the moment thing, but that’s literally all the information we have.
Look, overall you’re not wrong, and fuck knows we’re due for a new folk hero. My worry is that if people get too attached to the rapidly evolving mystique around this one person, it’ll all come to a crashing halt when/if they get arrested, especially if it turns out it really was his wife hiring a hitman to get out of a prenup or something equally banal.
Don’t get too swept away with the romance - he could simply have not known the camera was there, or not cared, or been so out of his mind on some drug that the concept of ‘camera’ was beyond his grasp at the time. The engraved bullets could be anything from schizophrenic ramblings to a red herring because he really was a master hired hitman. We just don’t know.
I really want this to be a revenge execution for all the evil that CEO sack of shit put into the world, but I’ve gotten really skeptical that good things might actually start happening ever again. We don’t even know that this was a targeted act. Everyone has assumed, but there’s no actual evidence of anything and if the NYPD have it, which I doubt, they sure aren’t sharing it (they doubtlessly have plenty they’re not releasing, 99% of it garbage they have yet to sift through, but anything this concrete would have ended the investigation by now).
That said, I’m already trying to buy a body pillow of this guy so something something glass houses.
Or maybe even schools. How will we cope when they start going after our kids? Going after women’s healthcare providers? God, when will this end…
Yes, hence why I had to correct myself
Sorry, you’re correct - I should have said they do not make a loss on the sales (turn a profit is obviously a bit of a stretch) since they use their existing infrastructure to offset the operational expenses, and the actual ingredient cost is literally pennies per unit.
It’s a side point, but the costco hotdogs do absolutely turn a profit. $1.50 seems unreasonably low because of how much we’re used to paying for food these days, but its hotdogs and a fountain drink, the cost of ingredients is next to nothing.
Acceptance accepted then, I suppose! Have a good day.
God, how many times have you told me to fuck off now, five? Six? Enough that my partner recognizes your username. Just… start reading your damn sources. You’re better than this, and even if you don’t know that, I do. You’re a decent person, you screwed up your source on a topic that’s more complex than most of the reporting on it tells you, and I called you out on it. Take a deep breath, take the L, move on. Neither of us are going to survive the next four years if we let rational discourse devolve to this state. For what it’s worth, I’m sorry I was a dick in calling out your credibility because of one dud link. That was petty of me.
Do… you want to drink some more coffee and maybe try this again?
I’m not allowed to use the source you brought because it’s not credible enough.

Um, anyways:
The Unusual Whales Democratic ETF (BATS:NANC), in a nod to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has seen a 30% surge since its inception on Feb. 7, 2023. This growth surpasses the 24% gain of the S&P 500 during the same period, reported Business Insider.
It’s not even Pelosi’s “own personal stock index”, it’s an independent index based off publicly disclosed trades made by members of congress, and it’s done well for one year (yeah, that absolutely could be a coincidence). It’s not even hard to find evidence to support your position, and I’m not even particularly disagreeing with you! Congress is openly corrupt! You just really, clearly, did not read your source. It directly refutes all the claims you’re making here.
It’s worth noting that the lawmakers tracked by the fund also hold shares in many of the same stocks that are popular with hedge funds. This has led to the fund’s impressive performance, despite the ongoing scrutiny of lawmakers’ stock trades.
If you can’t even take the time to read your own article and make sure it actually supports your point, why should I take your position on anything as being informed?
Yeah, I’ve heard this claim about pelosi repeated but I’ve yet to see any evidence of her husband’s miraculous stock trades.
(They meant the text in the OP, not your comment)
I would absolutely advise talking to a doctor about this. That very much sounds like an allergy, and although there are many meds that may help, none of us online can safely advise them for you, you really do need a prescriber with access to your medical records/bloodwork for that.
As far as first steps go, regularly taking OTC allergy meds and developing a daily cleaning schedule + filters for the bedroom + keeping your dog off the bed at the very least, and ideally out of the bedroom entirely, will help. Also frequently bathing your dog can help keep the dander down.
The worst dressed nerd in a meeting is the most important one.
Seems like the answer is yeah!
