Jesus, that’s the basest of bacterial soups he’s basting in. That’s sewage and corpse water.

Necrotizing fasciitis isn’t a single bacteria. It’s a bacteria gone wild such that the tissue dies under the stress of it. This guy’s feet and junk are in that mess.

Horrifying outcomes may happen.

FB is also threatening bans for posting any links to it.

Probably. We’re clearly avoidant on this topic.

I need a bot then. I click through 7-8 of those and still don’t pass.

Both are meh compared to home. Dough is flour water yeast. Touch of corn meal for roll out. Add time. That’s it. Cheap and easy.

Reclaim the Pizza Hut crust of 30 years ago by preheating a #8 or larger iron skillet with oil in it, carefully dropping in your rolled out crust, making sure it has a nice edge, and building your pizza. And your crust won’t taste as sugary as subway bread.

You have money to spare, pizza oven for the thin crust.

Dominos is better these days if you have to choose.

No. Memmy + Apple. I can put up to 5 spaces between paragraphs and I’ll still get what looks like a 1.2 space between paragraphs every time.

Dealing with PC lemmy is work so I stick with the app on the phone.

Spaces between paragraphs don’t really show on Memmy and walls of text suck.

Whatever works, I’ll try it.

In the kids case, that’s a staffing issue. Most lockdown mental health facilities have a tech/CNA whose sole job it is to walk around and log the location and state of every patient every 9-15min, depending on policy. In addition to the techs/CNAs who herd everyone to group, meals, and all the rest. In addition to mental health staff that run the groups. In addition to nurses who do meds and assessments. In addition to “orderlies”, not big men in white like in movies, who tackle people these days, but people with intense training in deescalation.

.

In the elder case, that is often a staffing issue. If it’s day shift and you have more than 6 residents assigned to you, that’s a staffing and/or state level regulation issue. If it’s evening shift and you have more than 8 residents assigned to you, that’s a staffing and/or state regulation issue. But yes, declining mental health (dementia) and brain deterioration (Alzheimer’s) is part of elder care. Sometimes it’s the sole reason they’re placed in a home, because that decline in brain capacity requires 24h care.

.

A lot of health care jobs would be absolutely ok if they were actually safe for both patients and staff. But corporate greed often doesn’t allow for that.

Staffing matters. And it often will be ignored until the state mandates a law that requires the corporate owners to do better.

It was just one theory, backing his advice. We didn’t have the sharpest teeth or claws, but we could run away. And far better than our lazy asses generally can today.

Bingo. Temu and Aliexpress. Same site, really.

Woodpecker or the item you can freely drop on the concrete floor without crying due to loss of investment.

The second hand market is 80% suck since 2021 or so. Everyone wants retail for their shit. And goodwill has decided to be “the last reseller” and priced accordingly.

.

People want to sell their beat up tools for $10 less than the full warranty with returns tool (router, brad nailer, palm sander, belt sander, recently, different sellers.) a plug in craftsman belt sander as old as my dad and you want what now?

.

Shirts. Even the best thrift store will have a $7-8 minimum on a used shirt. Meanwhile, I can get 2 for $10-12 on Amazon, new, with returns.

.

Photo paper is an uncommon thrift. Though I found two 5x7 packs for $1 each this year. They were in a box with wrapped postits and index cards so I think someone was confused.

.

Remember, time is a commodity. Killing a day and coming out empty handed isn’t for everyone.
