Nice try FBI…

I personally prefer Median XL. If it were a choice between PoD or PD, I’d say PoD.

LINE GO UP! ENDORPHINS GO BRRRRRRRRR!

I just recently started getting mystery pain in my balls, unfortunately for me there doesn’t seem to be any physical signs. No inflammation, no infection current or past, no kidney stones. Best the GP can figure is it’s nerve related. Kinda felt like someone had my jewels in a vice grip, then occasionally would let go so they could give em a really hard punch. I say felt because the GP put my on nerve pain meds that seem to be working. Takes the edge off anyway. And they are an antidepressant as well, so my nuts hurt, but at least I’m in a good mood.

So SysAdmin, gotcha

Haven’t had to use them recently, check out the man?

I had a dentist in Canada tell me all my front teeth needed to be removed, implants for the top and dentures for the bottom. I was 27. I’m now 38, still have all of those teeth he’d said needed replacing. The next dentist I saw was absolutely floored when I told her what he’d advised me to do. And if he hadn’t been such a condescending asshole, just a little bit more understanding that not everyone can afford consistent dental care… well…I’d probably have gone and had him do it.

Ugh… sometimes I forget they did that…and when I’m reminded or remember it cuts just as bad as the first time

Have you tried silver, crosses or a stake?

I feel attacked 🤌

Ftfy

fuck you

Well…it is EA…this is the appropriate sentiment.

God…if I was half that magnificent my life would have been way easier…

Cool

Now, I get that a lot of people wouldn’t know about all the different parts of a crane. But that’s the lifting slings that broke. It would have been significantly more catastrophic if it had been the main cable, and the big block of steel, the main hook block, would have been on the ground.
My pet theory is the slings weren’t being inspected frequently enough. You can see there’s 2 slings, and the hook loops on one end snapped. Seeing as these are structural beams with a fair bit of length, those slings would have been in a choker or vertical hitch. Choker being wrapped around and one end passed through the loop on the other and then attached to the hook. Vertical hitch would require a anchor point on the beams.
Watching the video again, it looks like multiple slings looped together and then used in a tandem double choke. I personally wouldn’t have done that, as two slings looped together are no where near as strong as a single longer sling. Whoever rigged that lift f**ked it pretty badly. But at the end of the day blame will most likely be spread around as the equipment wasn’t likely being inspected frequently enough, or well enough.

Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk.

Yeesh…that might come back to bite you…

Well shit. Good for you South Africa. Still got a lot of shit to sort yourself, but at least you got the balls to call Israel on their shit.

I never was arguing against that. Also I’m pretty sure their moral compass was pushed by the feds until he topped himself, so nothing about their bullshit has surprised me since.
