Made up their own language and mumbled "curses" at people in it.

The weird couple made their own cat language and sat under the tree in front of school meowing at each other. Probably the source of all the furries-in-schools conspiracies.

Find meaning outside of work. Hobbies, friendships, volunteering, something other than working and just paying into the system for rich assholes to profit more.

30-pack of beer. Hoisted on the shoulder in clear view while giving the theatre worker my ticket. Teenage minimum wage workers by end of summer DGAF.

I have a coworker who is on an anti- boomer humor mission. We're in a male-dominated field and the "my wife is a nag, she spends all my money, I don't get why she doesn't want to have sex with me while I treat her like my mother" jokes are frequent. He has a dozen ways of stopping the men from telling these jokes and reminding them that it's ok to love their spouses. Or, you know, to divorce them if they don't.

It's a bare minimum thing, not bad-mouthing your spouse constantly, but I appreciate he's the only man in the group willing to speak up and show the younger ones there is a better way.

Klingons look very different through the various shows. And more than just costuming progress of the time.

TOS:

TNG-era, the one I think most people would think of:

Discovery:

And the latest show, Academy, reverts back to TNG-era style Klingons.

Iron Lung (2026) by Markiplier (filmdb.landmarkcinemas.com)
submitted 4 months ago by Vanth@reddthat.com to c/movies@lemmy.world

The stars are gone. The planets have disappeared. Only those aboard space stations or starships were left to witness the universe dim, giving the end a name: The Quiet Rapture. Now, humanity decays in the rusting halls of crumbling stations, scavenging barren moons by the ghost light of long-vanished stars. But one moon stands apart. In the darkness of the void, a scanner detects an impossibility: an ocean of blood. In a desperate bid for survival, the last remnants of humanity craft a crude submarine to explore the bleeding depths. They weld one soul inside to pilot it. But as the hatch is sealed, the terrifying reality sets in. Hope in this void is as illusionary as the starlight. This is not an expedition. This is an execution.

Written, produced, acted in by game streamer Markiplier

Indie film inspired by an indie cosmic horror game

Have you had one? If so, did the medical professional conducting the challenge stay with you the whole time?

I had one years ago. The person administering the challenge put me in a glass chamber, explained the amount of methacholine would increase until it induced an asthma attack and that how much methacholine it took would determine whether I have asthma or not, then left the room for 10-15 minutes. Looking back now, it seems wild that one would leave when trying to give a person an asthma account. What if I had asthma and was stuck without help for 10+ minutes?

Curious what others have experienced, whether they were left to deal with a possible asthma attack alone or if they were monitored?

You're an AH for this unnecessary detail in particular:

she's had two babies by two different guys.

Just admit you're not friends. That's fine and doesn't make you an AH. Getting all puritanical over something that does not impact your life does.

None beyond their own bodyweight.

The photograph shows an impressive feat in which dozens of acrobats stood on top of each other (relying on mounted platforms) to create a human tower in the likeness of the torch.

Emphasis mine. Most of the weight is born by platforms that the humans are obscuring the view of. Look at the postures of each tier; none are braced for any significant weight.

Watched my coworker move her cursor to the right edge of her right-hand monitor to get it to over to the left side of her left-hand monitor. When I offered to show her how to adjust her display settings, she said she was used to it and didn't want to change it. I don't think I can walk by her desk while she's working ever again.

What have you got?

I'm using Boost for Lemmy on Android and when others post spoiler tags, I still see the text that should be hidden until tapped. Being able to see through spoiler tags is keeping me from engaging as readily with spoiler-filled communities.

Is there any adjustments I can do to fix it or is it something that can only be done at app or instance or Lemmy as a whole level? TY.

Also New York and Missouri

https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/anthem-insurance-cap-anesthesia-coverage-time-limits/6040608/

Anyone with an Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plan will soon have to pay out of pocket for anesthesia if a surgery or procedure goes longer than expected, according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists.

The health insurance provider said they will no longer pay for anesthesia care if a surgery or procedure goes beyond a specific time limit. This will apply to patients in Connecticut, New York and Missouri.

The American Society of Anesthesiologists said Anthem can pre-determine the time allowed for anesthesia, and if an anesthesiologist submits a bill where the actual time of care is longer than Anthem's limit, the company will deny paying for it.

The report cites inexperienced workforce, exacerbated by the limited pool to hire from in New Orleans and the non-competitive wages Boeing offers compared to other aerospace companies. Mobile and Huntsville are right there. Lol, pony up, Boeing.

And the report mentions operators are given work instructions that lack detail and require the operator to go diving through multiple levels of specifications and historical records to understand what to do. This speaks to inadequate manufacturing engineers and processes, who are putting out the inadequate work instructions. So I'm assuming the non-competitive pay and retention problems apply to their engineers too, not just the hourly operators and mechanics.

Work for Boeing for bad pay and to see this shit in the news? Or hop over to Mobile, AL to work for Airbus at a better wage on a popular commercial plane with good reliability and a good reputation. Decisions, decisions.

Inspired by a post since deleted, I feel bad for probably coming off judgemental about the poster's taste in the movie that drove him to consider sailing.

The earliest desired media I can remember that drove me to figure out sailing was DC Talk, a Christian rock band. Pop music was not allowed in my house, so a Christian group was tantalizing and scandalous to a rebellious, young Vanth. Things escalated from there.
