YSK: Using dairy milk after being tear gassed or pepper sprayed doesn't provide more relief and has slightly increased infection risk. Use water or saline instead

Generally medical professionals do not vouch for using milk for tear gas despite it often being touted. The research seems to suggest they are largely the same in providing relief...

My uncle went to job core to become a security guard and they oc sprayed him.

Scubus ,

Does ur dick click up like a switchblade???

Scubus ,

And then theres rh null who cant recieve from anyone basically

Scubus ,

Yeah, thats what my doctor recommended for me. I just really hate needles

Scubus ,

Yeah extracting it isnt difficult but putting it back in... i dont think can be done with blades

Scubus ,

Technically no. Only if we erase bacteria capable of breaking down trees.

Scubus ,

Stick em with the pointy end

Scubus ,

Nice stick, but it's pride month!

Scubus ,

I thought Lemmy was open source? So we would definitely know if shadowbanning was a thing?

Besides that, anyone who runs their own instance would definitely know about shadow banning if it were an option, yeah?

Scubus ,

If that came out it seems like it would kill the idea of federated servers running lemmy

Scubus ,

I was wanting to make that joke in a helldiver's 2 thread the other day. I couldn't figure out how to phrase it and in the end I decided not to. Woulda been funny AF tho

Scubus ,

Whew, that title frightened me for a second

Moon factory, rail gun

I mean it sounds simple, obviously doing that we be a ton of work, but it seems very feasible. And doing that would be an incredible starting point for space industry. From there, we could send out automated probes to capture trojan asteroids from earths orbit and launch them into lunar orbit for collection. We could even put them in a non stable orbit that bleeds off orbital speed and eventually they bleed off enough to land while staying in almost one piece depending on the type of asteroid.

Scubus ,

Hmm... yes.

Scubus ,

Well, despite my blunder, my original thinking was that unstable orbits do exist, and you would in theory be able to bleed of orbital speed. The issue is that that orbital speed would be converted into potential energy without an atmosphere.

It would be much more long term but we could make a space tether in orbit of the moon. As asteroids are flung to the moon it could catch them and gain angular momentum as the asteroid loses speed. We'd just have to find a way to bleed that angular momentum. It could be for return packages to earth, but with the rail gun already in place, that seems somewhat useless.

On the other hand, it would be difficult to aim the rail gun, whereas the space tether would be somewhat easier to aim.

Scubus ,

I figured we'd just power it with solar. If not ground based, then an array in lunar orbit. Probably a mixture of both.

Transgender swimmer Lia Thomas out of Olympics after losing legal battle ( www.theguardian.com )

The US swimmer Lia Thomas, who rose to global prominence after becoming the first transgender athlete to win a NCAA college title in March 2022, has lost a legal case against World Aquatics at the court of arbitration for sport – and with it any hopes of making next month’s Paris Olympics....

Scubus ,

The real answer here is to do away with gender/sex separation and instead have classifications based of total mass, bone density, muscle fiber density, and maybe hormonal levels. Stop trying to deal with the generalistics and target the issues that actually matter.

Scubus ,

For serial killer, pretty sure it's three. At least that's what the FBI keeps trying to tell me

How big is Pidgey?

"shield of faith for 500$"

Scubus ,

I wish someone would drive-by compliment me with "nice cock bro"

Scubus ,

Yeah, I would definitely be down with that. The only thing I really want out of a relationship is snuggles because sleeping alone feels so... empty.

Only minor note is that I've been in relationships before where, for reasons beyond my control, I was unable to make an income. It doesn't matter to me whether I'm the "breadwinner", but not being able to financially support my other at all was horrible. I don't know if that's universal for guys but I would imagine mostly yes.

Scubus ,

He won't and probably not. The only way he will order a nuclear strike is if Russia is about to be dissolved or if he is about to be overthrown. Unless Russians financial situation gets a LOT worse, there is no risk of Russia dissolving, as Ukraine is not seeking to invade. Putin will not be overthrown unless he dramatically steps up conscription and starts targeting oligarchs families as conscription possibilities. He knows that to do so would be suicide.

In either scenario, once it has reached that point Putin will have pissed off literally every single person that matters and they would have no reason to listen to him.

I'm interested in: people that breathe

Scubus ,

It looks like a tulip to me

Scubus ,

I mean not reading about it doesn't make it go away. Advising people to ignore politics that directly effect your life is.... not a great strategy.

Scubus ,

I doubt it would be terribly painful. One moment you're standing there, then you get sucked up. You would feel the intense vacuum pulling you which would be unpleasant. But then less then a second later you're ragu, and I doubt you would've felt the impact at all.

Scubus ,

Avoid toxic masculinity lol

Scubus ,

If a male gets grossed out by the idea of wearing pink, that's toxic masculinity. It's ok to have preferences, like I don't like the color pink" but to be actively repulsed by it shows you have a fear of being emasculated. You have a fear that you might be seen as "not a manly man"

Other examples include being repulsed by rainbows, being afraid of showing your feelings/crying, being afraid of gay people, etc.

Good thing to have are: being willing to have a discussion without trying to "win", get angry or disregard the other person's opinion. Having women friends that you aren't trying to fuck. Having hobbies that are fun, and that you're willing to talk about because they make you excited, without trying to monetize them.

Scubus ,

I can kinda see Vegeta in so far as they have a mild Saiyan look to them. I suppose it's what could've happened if Vegeta slept with friezas mom.

Trump rally: "this is the worst platform"

Too true

Scubus ,

I haven't heard any liberals trying to "both sides" the issue. I have heard Republicans expressing their support for the genocide though.

Scubus ,

Ah, cool. So then you will be coding me a neutral network framework in about 2 seconds then? C# please, object oriented and with proper comments to indicate what it's doing.

Wow, you're super slow. This whole "not ai" thing sucks.

Scubus ,

I feel like I saw a d100 composed of equilateral triangles. Is there an algorithm that determines whether a shape can be composed of equalateral triangles? I'd ask for a proof but I fucking hate proofs.

Scubus ,

Well that looks not fun

Scubus ,

When will AOC start beating mtg with a cane?

What band or music group would you not have minded if they didn't have a certain band member? ( kbin.social )

My pick is Five Finger Death Punch and the obvious answer is Ivan Moody. The guy radiates that alpha-male wannabe energy and it definitely rings through all of the songs he has written and performed with this band. The guy is just a prick and a self-victimizing asshole....

Scubus ,

Far from home is above and beyond their best song imo, followed by coming down

I mean the emancipation proclamation didn't ban slavery, it just banned it in rebelling states by freeing the slaves in those states. It was a year/years later that the 21(?) 13th Amendment was signed that actually banned the practice.

Lincoln didn't want to free the slaves, he just didn't want the south using them as an army.

Scubus , (edited )

The civil war was started over the economics of slavery, not the cancellation of slavery. The south wanted slaves to count towards votes, but not count towards taxes owed. The north refused to allow that, and they decided that slaves didn't count towards either. And since without slaves the southern states had much lower populations, that dramatically diminished their voting power. That is why the civil war started.

Edit:I guess you guys missed the whole 3/5ths comprimise

Scubus ,

What's the doct? And yeah, the south feared the dissolution of slavery but from my understanding that was not what it was about for the north. Hence the 3/5ths compromise.

Scubus ,

So it would seem. A bunch of the sources I was just googling seemed to confirm what I had learned in school, hence this debate. We were never taught about the dotc though, I take it they were a post war group of propagandists?

Scubus ,

I just add a user note to trolls and then anytime I see them I make sure to let people know not to interact with them

Scubus ,

It just takes some time

Scubus ,

They're referring to the alignment issue, which is an ongoing issue only slightly smaller in scale then warp drive. It's basically impossible to solve. Google "alignment issue machine learning" for more info.

For the record, there have been several advancements in warp drive precursors even just this year.

Scubus ,

You don't know how to interpret something being 20% dog 80% fox and 30% wolf? /s

Scubus ,

I don't remember that in monopoly

How old is the oldest building in the town you live in?

To those from the Western hemisphere, it's always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of the...

Scubus ,

I believe the first building here was contracted around 1920-40
