I’m assuming that this is a joke but just in case it isn’t you need to stop. If you’re seen doing this then you will be labeled a sex offender as you should be. Noone consented to being involved in your fetish. Noone is going to be aroused or stop and help. They are going to call the cops and you are going to get arested.
Just to repeat it, do not ever subject anyone to sexual acts without prior explicit consent. Go get therapy now.
Hot.
When my boss was complaining about not getting matches on Tinder I told him he has manager arms. When he asked what that meant I told him it meant that they were non-value-add.
Money is time. When you spend all of your time and energy focusing on working, eating, and sleeping because you’re too broke to do anything else, it doesn’t leave you with much time or energy to care about christmas.
My impression is just that nobody has the money for it anymore.
I used to work for a big hardware company and we regularly sold heated jacket that just accepted tool batteries. For example our Milwaukee jackets just accepted the Milwaukee tool batteries. So when you’re on the worksite you just swap out and recharge the batteries as needed with all of the other tool batteries. I got one of those jackets myself once and they are super nice. It could toggle between 3 different power levels depending on what you needed and the battery actually lasted a surprisingly long time.
As far as the rest of your body goes just layer up. Long wool (or goretex if you have the money for it,) socks, long underwear, thermal pants, boots, gloves, ski mask, and maybe an additional hat plus your coat hood. Of course you also want torso layers with the heated jacket but if you’re using one of those then it will be doing most of the heavy lifting as far as keeping you warm goes. If you frequently get cold feet/hands then you can also add glove liners and an extra pair of socks or just toss some instant heat packs in your socks and gloves as needed (they normally last several hours).
Also when it comes to your inner layers avoid cotton like the plague. The saying in boyscouts was always “cotton kills” because even though cotton is insulating, it loses all of its insulating properties the moment it becomes even slightly damp and it will not dry on its own. When it gets wet, wearing cotton is worse than wearing nothing at all. I personally made that mistake once and I was literally better off once I pulled off my socks and just walked around with my bare feet in my boots. When it comes to fabric choice the ideal choice is wool because it’s insulating and getting a little wet doesn’t impact that too much. But if all you have are synthetic fabrics then go with those; they typically don’t insulate as well but they still work better than cotton when they get wet. If you have the money and feel like splurging, goretex is a synthetic fabric that is supposed to be even better than wool; I’ve never gotten the opporitunity to try it out though so I can’t say much there.
I’m an environmental chamber technician. I fix and test the equipment that does all of the temperature and humidity testing for most electronics from consumer grade stuff to stuff that is literally going into space. Basically an environmental chamber is just a programable box that is refrigerated and/or heated that you put stuff into to see how it performs at different temperatures. The ones I work on also often have programable humidity levels for testing equipment under basically any normal atmospheric conditions. The ones I work with are anywhere between the size of a household microwave and slightly larger than Volkswagen Beetle. The ones that don’t use liquid nitrogen can manage temperatures anywhere between 200C and -75C. The liquid nitrogen ones can of course manage temps as low as liquid nitrogen gets.
As far as education and certifications go, there isn’t much. In the US you do need an EPA 608 certification to work with refrigerants but that only cost like $100 (my employer covered it) and it’s a lifetime certification. Everything else was just on the job training. I just got mentored by some coworkers, did some independant study, and practiced. The biggest thing is just haveing a technical mindset. Troubleshooting is troubleshooting so basically if you’re someone who can usually figure out how to fix things on their own then odds are you could do my job with minimal refrigeration training.
As far as getting into the same niche today, I definitely would if I could find the job (it’s not all that common). I love working with refrigeration and troubleshooting these machines scratches tha puzzle solving itch in my brain. It’s fun to see the unique options that certain customers get like water cooled systems or liquid nitrogen boost units. Also seeing as how these machines need to be benchmarked at a known ambient temp, it is one the very few refrigeration related jobs that you get to do from a strictly climate controlled building. It is always exactly 23C in my work area because that’s exactly what our testing spec calls for. To top it all off the pay isn’t bad. I could be making a bit more in normal HVAC but not much more and, unlike HVAC, my equipment comes to me in my climate controlled shop. I don’t have to climb up on a roof when it’s 40C outside to fix someone’s AC.
They do generally give announcements when they defed from larger instances. But they are also constantly defederating from numerous spam instances and such that are constantly popping up so making a dedicated anouncment for each one is a bit much. They do however do a good job with keeping fediseer updated whith all of the instances they defederated and the reason. So if you want specific info on smaller instances then I would check there.
Considering I spend most of my time on Lemmy just scrolling through all and I don’t recognize the instance OP mentioned, I’m assuming it is a fairly small.one and the LW admins didn’t see a reason for a full blown announcement.
I was always told to specifically take them in the morning because they give you energy. I’ve been on quite a few different ones and none of them have made me drowsy. If anything I might get a very slight bit of the opposite effect in that they keep me awake but even then it’s barely noticable.
If you quit SSRIs cold turkey then you’re going to wind up with discontinuation syndrome (aka withdrawls). This is going to vary depending on the person so I am just speaking from personal experience. Typically this will mean your depression or anxiety comming back with a vengance. In my cas it hit way harder than it normally does when I’m just at my baseline unmedicated. I also got extremely agitated over the most minor things. Plus you’ve got all of the physical symptoms such as tremors, nausea, and bouts of cold sweats. Then you have the one withdrawl symptom that is unique to meds like SSRIs which is brain zaps (aka brain shivers, brain flips brain shocks). Brain zaps are really hard to describe. The best equivalent that I can think of is when you get your reflexes checked and you feel that reflexive muscle twitch; it’s basically that feeling except it feels like its comming from right in the middle of your brain and it happens about once per minute for the entire duration of the withdrawls (1-2 weeks). It’s not something that is painful but it is annoying, constant, and highly distracting. Basically every time one hit I would lose my entire train of thought which made it impossible to focus on even the most basic things. From what I understand noone knows what actually causes the brain zap sensation but one of the leading theories right now is that they’re basically just micro seizures.
Ooh. I should do dazzle cammo on my house.
But then the mailperson would never be able to guess the speed and heading of my house to deliver packages.
Now I just want to see big buildings painted with WWI dazzle camo.
You never know. If we start fucking up any worse Floida might be under water by then. Always gotta look on the bright side.
At a place I used to work one of my coworkers just had their password as a barcode taped to their desk. Now to be fair we worked in the extra high security room so even getting access to that desk would be a little tricky and we had about 20 unlabeled barcoded taped to each of our desks for various inventory locations and functions. So if someone wanted to get into their account they would still have to guess which barcode it was and get into a room only like 10 people had access to. It still felt pretty damn sketchy though.
Will that also block all users from that instance? I was under the impression that it just blocked posts from that instance showing up in your feed.
Did we really need yet another reddit mirroring bot?
If that’s what it is the the way they’re doing it is beyond obnoxious because I can’t just block the whole thing. If I wanted reddit comments then I would be using reddit.
Fuck Meta and all but this isn’t news. Meta litterally said straight up that they would be doing this before threads ever launched. If you have an instagram account then that is also your threads account. This isn’t some conspiracy it’s exactly what they told everyone they were doing. It’s no diferent than linked accounts for google services.
Is it on a nsfw instance? I have those blocked on my main so their history is just blank for me.
