We went to a bar where she immediately bumped into a friend. They talked for over 30 minutes about old times and friends I didn’t know. I felt so awkward I just left without a word. I doubt they noticed.

I’m digging a tiny hole and staying inside forever with occasional peeks outside to see if it day or night. Tell my wife I miss her

I cut in half, and lay the half down flat. Then I cut off just the very end from each side which makes it easier to lift the peel off. Then slice. Usually works, but occasionally there’s difficulty. Isn’t that life?

You can bring your phone into the X-ray room. Unless you’re getting a hip X-ray you can even keep it in your pocket. Keys and wallet too!

All my patients are convinced that a phone can’t be in the pocket and I cannot even convince them otherwise. They don’t believe me!

Good names! They sound original and they could all pass as a country

It looks like jewelry! Maybe JWelry? Or no. Okay I’ll keep working on that one

I’m trying to remember. I think they had cameras. I know I had the Motorola Razr. Everyone had that phone. I think it had a camera and that was basically it. But everyone has that phone because it looked cool.

Lemmy is left leaning but downvotes anything that suggests poll numbers are slipping for Biden, or if people are unsatisfied with his performance. It’s news! Are y’all just downvoting it because you don’t like it?

Maybe it’s not surprising but as an X-ray tech we wear a badge that records our radiation exposure. Every quarter it gets read and if our exposure is too high I can’t work anymore. Maybe for the rest of the year, maybe forever. I’ve never heard of that actually happening though.

When a person tells you that a loved one has passed, ask what the their name was and say it back. It can be awkward when that comes up and you might not know how to respond best. I’ve found that most people don’t want you to feel bad for them, but them saying their name and having a chance to talk about them is often a nice thing.

I’m in healthcare so death comes up a lot. “David. That’s a nice name. Where was he from?”

I’ve been seeing those too. And one of them says “72 hour protection” like what? You’re not showering for three days but you’re just going to febreeze you vageeze and call it good ? Insane behavior

They’re called “spaceships”

Meanwhile BYD is absolutely exploding in popularity. The problem isn’t “EV pessimism” it’s that some governments are fighting it so hard that it’s difficult out for citizens (USA) to make it work. Didn’t Biden promise a network of EV chargers across the nation?

And instead he made it illegal to import affordable Chinese cars. I’m sick of seeing articles phrased like this

Okay right on. Thanks Scrubbles. Do you have any reccommendations for Mastodon?

I see that I can follow them on Mastodon, but it seems like all their posts are just meta announcements vs curated links. Should I be following their individual editors instead? I want to love Mastodon but I just can’t figure out how to find good content there !

Shoot am I the only one here from the Pacific Northwest USA? Our most invasive species is also the most delicious berry there is: Himalayan blackberry. Can’t be beat. Just had some blackberry jam today on a charcuterie plate

I’ve started saying everything multiple times like Johnny Two-Times in Goodfellas and it’s driving my wife nuts nuts nuts.

This thing is awesome!! It can go anywhere! See anything! This is so cool, and I love also how when you use it you won’t have tripods getting in your way. Oh!!! And you can pan it!!

Thankful for my union fighting hours on hours to negotiate a better job for me. The other day they negotiated until 3 am!

Oh I love this. Did it just like slide smoothly down your throat without you noticing? That’s crazy
