I also have to assume they probably do rotations, like watch/guard duty in the military, of control room and more active work, or it would get suuuuper boring real fast. Plus their skills would get rusty if nothing ever happened.

But maybe I’m overly optimistic.

I lose them entirely too often for that to be an affordable option for me 🤭 I get like 80 clothespins for $1. I’ve gone through like 5 packs of them in 15 years, give or take.

But maybe I’d hit a level of saturation eventually (I find random clothespins all the time now) and it would work out.

Probably not - I have a habit of MacGyvering stuff from whatever I find laying around.. clothespins are stupid handy for that, and binder clips would be too.. so I’d definitely repurpose them.. :)

That was sort of my thought too, but nowhere in nature would our brains be exposed to vibration over long periods of time, and I know that concussions that don’t meet the clinical definition lead to brain damage.

I couldn’t really find much on the impacts on the brain of vibration specifically, but I have seen experiments where vibration was added to a semi-solid, and it liquified because the weak “cell wall” analogues dissolved. I know that’s a totally different mechanism, but it got me curious :)

Exactly that; I spent essentially all of my time reading. In class, between classes, after school. I had no friends because I’d changed schools and was close enough to graduation to not be worth making new friends I wouldn’t keep contact with. So I read a lot. The librarians even gave me another card so I could inter-library-loan more stuff.

Sweet, there’s one sort of like that a town over from me, except the other animals are mostly available for adoption through local rescue groups. Most except the two macaws, owner rescued them 20+ years back and they bonded to him and each other so they stay and have free roam of the shop, and occasionally he’ll have a large reptile around that isn’t available, as a show and tell sort of setup. Importantly, since they are from rescue groups, they make sure adopters know what they are getting themselves into.

The other difference is they do almost exclusively marine, and their freshwater fish typically are sickly. (Still not as bad as big box, last time I got Rosie’s for a new breeding colony from petsmart, only 1 dozen of the 8 dozen survived more than a week, and the problem wasn’t the tank.. so I don’t do that anymore). But they do know their shit, and they do have an amazing selection if you do marine.

It could, but if you deprive sleep to the point of hallucinations, you risk legit permanent damage. Which costs long term money.

But also please sleep better if you can, that’s bad for you long term. And you sound young. Don’t fuck up your future for no reason.

As a bonus, you’ll be counted as a missing person so when you reappear in spring, people will be so relieved you can resume your life!

Legit I’d watch that over the heavily romanticized crap…

Actually sounds like a decent concept.

What I do to make sure I’m staying in budget is pay the cards off every week. Gives time for transactions to post and ensures the card never holds a higher balance than I can pay off before interest is added.

I’ve gotten automatic credit line increases over the years, so the amount I can charge is roughly 4x the max I ever have in the bank, but the weekly payoff strategy makes it basically the same as using debit, except with cash back perks.

Godzilla, that article is just full of major typos any editor (or spelling + grammar checker) worth their salt would have caught. Wtf - “The pawerful Pakistani officer…” pawerful???

I’m sorry, opinions are important and I know not everyone comes from the same educational background, but dudes supposed to be a professor of history at the university of Michigan? And that’s what he publishes to the world? Pawerful? I had to override my autocorrect for that shit. Or “The closes parallel”

I try, but I can’t take that seriously. It reads like a scam email, considering a professor at a US college should know how to write and edit their work in English.

Your straw man argument is boring.

I’m not saying any of what you are arguing against, so I’m done interacting with you. You clearly aren’t conversing in good faith.

Have a nice day.

Having it done as an automatic thing due to government regulation is hardly the same as needing to seek out a specific service, entirely on my own, to have the thing done.

I don’t care if it “still needs to be done by a person”, that was never even a question. This straw man is boring.
