The anti🚫-derailment🚃 & thread🧵 hijackingšŸ”« thread🧵 ⁉

Only really 2 spots that are supposed to be good for these, right? Under armpit on torso side, or under armpit on bicep side. Probably go with the bicep side, feels a little easier to pinch out some tissue in that spot.

Just seems silly to spend $50 for a professional to install something that’s even more gimmicky then all the rest of my implants :rofl:

Similar to the female contraceptive

A doctor might do it, just tell them you dont want to get pregnant. :wink:

@leumas95 did a self install of a Spark there

Obviously Im not suggesting that you SHOULD, merely that it can and has been done.

Ya, but I’m a wuss, don’t like pain, and cant stand the sight of needles or my own blood while sitting here with 5 piercings, 9 implants and 20 tattoos

I did my xbt myself. Was very simple with no blood

:rofl: Awesome, as soon as there’s an instruction manual setup to where I can self-install while blindfolded, I’ll get right on it…

Seriously, I can’t even watch a blood draw on myself without shaking. Not without being severely inebriated, which would probably cause all sorts of other problems.

The thing is, those are theoretically good places but the reality is going to be this - the armpit is the only place you’re going to get even remotely close to being able to make a surface temperature reading and use a linear calibration to approximate core temperature… and that’s kd you make the effort to keep your arm tightly closed to your body for at least 30 seconds prior to the reading, then read it very quickly after opening your arm to get the reader in there.

At best, temperature sensors implanted into subdermal tissue are not likely to give you clinically useful data. It’s a fun thing, but utility for actual medical purposes is impractical.

Wasn’t there a discussion about medieval salt pepper shaker sets that had a third container a while back?

I can’t find it, but I came across a set with a third container IRL, and while this is not the exact one, there’s a clear use for it:

Although TBH, I’ve never used toothpicks.

Long story short, I’m trying to fix some university records, and I have to apply for an exception from a committee to fix it.

Should you ever find yourself in this situation, you should know that Chatgpt was definitely built to verbally grovel and prostrate itself in fluent committee-ese.

It’s weirdly good at begging, professionally.

That is all.

In a Slack message reviewed by the Guardian that went to thousands of white-collar workers in the New York City area from engineers to marketers, an Amazon area manager called for corporate ā€œvolunteers to help us out with Prime Day to deliver to customers on our biggest days yet.ā€

One of the largest and most profitable companies on the planet is notorious for working its employees regularly through unreasonable hours now wants them to straight up give them more of their time so they don’t have to pay people to deliver on their promises.

I went for a walk today and I ended up slow chasing a squirrel for about two blocks. I was just walking, but it kept running away from me in a straight line directly away from me. Even though there were plenty of side streets to go down, just kept running straight away from me… the Prometheus School of running so to speak.

It kind of dawned on me why this might be the result of evolutionary pressures. Of course, it’s logical that running directly away is the fatest way to get away from something… but I think there’s something else going on. I think prey specifically benefits from maintaining minimal horizontal movement that would trigger a different layer of the optic nerve and visual processing cortex… basically increasing the chances of being seen and creating a chase response.

I think I’ve heard that some animals will try to lead you away from a nest rather than get away themselves sometimes too

Or perhaps it had just gotten somewhat used to being around people
