Aganim,

But it gave you lemon-lime?

Aganim,

Don’t forget a nice topping of lead paint chips.

Aganim,

This is going to sound crazy, but hear me out… What if the ships also brought a device which allows for instantaneous travel between planets? Some kind of gate? A gate to the stars, if you will? Perhaps we should start a dig in Giza, who knows what we’ll uncover!

Aganim,

I felt utterly ashamed when I had that same thought, before noticing who really was depicted. Good to know I won’t have the bear that shame alone. 😅

Aganim,

Get the robber out, lock the door, call the cops.

For us it was ‘hit the silent alarm as soon as it is safe to do so’ instead of calling the cops ourselves. Hitting the alarm would trigger a whole chain of events, which included alerting the cops, region manager and an emotional support team and sending out a notification to our intranet that your office would not be reachable for the rest of that day and the day after. It would also immediately notify the correct police departments, which was another reason why we were instructed to not call the alarm number.

Our robber wrapped a plastic bag around his arm so probably didn’t have a firearm, but you simply do not take that risk. Although my colleague had to tell that nitwit that he walked into a branch office that didn’t handle money and had nothing on premises, which was clearly advertised at the door. It did have an ATM, but, as was also made very clear on the outside, we didn’t have access to that. Never seen somebody so confused, fortunately he 180’d out of there. We were lucky that it was probably just somebody who acted on an impulse, another office a few streets down had a real armed robbery, where one of my colleagues got a gun put to her head. Took her years to get her live back on track.

Aganim,

The studio behind it is called Slavic Magic.

Aganim,

In my personal experience most games either work fine out of the box or after some tweaking, I’ve had a 49 inch 5120x1440 monitor for almost 4 years now. At times you’ll need to use Flawless Widescreen or Widescreen Fixer to get things working, or UI mods if the game supports that. But worst case you can always try a better supported widescreen ratio or 16:9 and live with some black bars, not ideal, but not the end of the world either.

Actually both options are possible here in the Netherlands, it’s a matter of preference of the patient. In both cases a doctor will be present, whom will also supply the drugs if a patient chooses to take them themselves.

This case is incredibly rare though, it is already extremely hard to have a euthanasia request granted for mental issues at an older age, let alone someone so young.

A bit more background on ‘the aftermath’ by the way, as the article doesn’t mention that: after the euthanasia has taken place a coroner will establish that this was indeed the cause of death. Once that is done the public prosecutor needs to give permission before the remains may be buried or cremated.

Also, the coroner will send the report of both the physician who approved and performed the euthanasia and that of the SCEN-doctor, who performed the obligatory 2nd opinion mentioned in the article, to a special committee that will check if everything went by the book. Not only the procedure leading up to the euthanasia, but also the act of the euthanasia itself. If there are doubts about whether or not all means of treatment were exhausted and if there really was undue and indefinite suffering, or if there are any doubts if the patient really wanted to go through with the procedure at ‘the moment supreme’, a doctor can be held accountable for that. Fortunately that is rare, as the whole procedure is not taken lightly.

but I generally see suicidality as a symptom of something else. If we can improve the “something else,” the suicidality improves or even goes away in the vast majority of cases.

If it was as easy as that she would never have gotten her request approved. It is extremely rare for someone at her age to have her euthanasia request approved on account of mental issues. Hell, it is near impossible to get your request approved for this at old age, let alone when you are in your 20’s or 30’s. So please be careful with comments like this, as having exhausted all available treatments is a prerequisite and there are a lot of them. Mental healthcare in the Netherlands is in a fairly shitty state thanks to 20 years of budget cuts and ‘let the market solve it’-policy, but it is not so shitty that we just resort to killing off troubled people.

If medical professionals would even have had the slightest feeling that there was a way remaining to get her some semblance of a normal life, she wouldn’t have been eligible.

Aganim,

Sorry, the bomb was running MacOS. Your command was not valid and you’ve doomed us all.

Aganim,

“Kill the meat, save the metal!”

Aganim,

The early Lenovo period W series were (imho) very good as well, still have my W500 series which is built like a tank. Survived years of college, years of lugging it around to customers and data centres and having somebody spill a full cup of coffee over it (yes, the drain holes do work!). It only required replacing of the monitor cable once, which was a pretty easy thing to do. Unfortunately the CCFL backlight has lost quite some luminance by now, but guess after 16 years that is to be expected. Can’t get myself to part from it though, so many memories attached to it.

Aganim,

Edit: I propose, like we call sovereign citizens SovCits, we call these people AmArchs for amateur archaeologists.

Please don’t. SovCit is a crazy ideology, whereas there are actually very knowledgeable amateur archaeologists, heck you can even get archeology courses from professionals here. I’d prefer them not getting thrown on the same heap as the nutjobs that posted your wall of text. Although I don’t have a viable alternative at the moment I’m afraid.

Aganim,

CryptArchs? Yes, much better.

I was awarded my 3 gallon award today for blood donations. (lemmy.world)

I am truly honored. I hope every blood donation I gave was able to help save a life. I always wonder about how the recipients are doing, and what circumstances led them to need a life saving blood transfusion. The blood bank keeps all of that private for security reasons, of course, along with the name of the donors who donate....

Aganim,

Also not the person who you responded to, but unfortunately I got turned down by the blood bank because my veins are relatively narrow and have a tendency to roll to the side when trying to poke them with a needle. They had so much trouble hitting a vein with a regular needle for the initial blood work that they told me that giving blood is simply never going to work.

Aganim,

Thanks for the nice words and thanks for donating!

Aganim,

Notice to agent is notice to prinicipal

Too bad, a spelling mistake in the super-secret incantation makes it null and void.

Aganim,

When an official of the Roman Cult

Fuck, not the Romans again… They had their fun 2000 years ago, can’t they leave us be for once?

Aganim,

I prefer the IUPAC name: Oxidane. Terrible stuff, it’s even used as an industrial solvent and yet we are exposed to it every single day of our lives!

Aganim,

I identify myself as ‘Ben’, does that count?

Sony forced the studio behind Helldivers 2 to make a PSN account obligatory after the game launched. That’s a pretty crappy move because PSN is not available in roughly 120 177 countries, so if you live in one of those you can suddenly not play your game anymore. And Sony hasn’t got the best reputation when it comes to securing and selling their user’s data, so players are pretty upset and vocal about this.

But I would say that present day Sony’s dick moves do not really fit in a topic about PS2 nostalgia.

Aganim,

Nah, I’m also fine with it. Fingerprint sensors hate me anyway, on every phone I owned I needed to rescan my prints every few weeks or so because they just won’t recognise me after a while. These days I just use passwords and pin codes.

Aganim,

I’ve got a waterproof timer which I set when I need to shower within a set timeframe. Seeing a countdown helps keeping a sense of urgency and helps me with not getting lost in thought.When I’m not on a limit I’ll put it in clock mode so I can let my thoughts wander, while still having some sense of elapsed time.

Aganim,

I’m not American, so I could be wrong, but wasn’t it something about a well-regulated militia?

Aganim,

I just ruined a whole bunch of people’s days with 2 names.

Well, let me add something to that, just to make the day even worse:
