These new Epinephrine Auto-Injectors come with a “trainer” injector for practice.

Is it wrong that I really want to try the trainer?

(Note: it doesn’t pierce the skin. I asked the pharmacist.)

I thought they’d killed that.

I feel cheated.

I see all these people posting the amazingly god-awful answers that gives them to questions and I keep asking myself, “how come every time I ask I just get a blank screen?“

@darmato totally off point but… cool, is that’s what’s opening in the old Jack-in-the-Box building on Central?

“…new product line will include frozen pizzas, sandwich melts, grain bowls, and pastas that are ‘portion-aligned to a weight loss medication user’s appetite.’”

So… they mean sensibly-sized portions?

When many people think of , they think of endless suburban sprawl. And, certainly, that’s part of the story. But here’s something that many are surprised to learn:

Four of the five largest city parks are located in metro Phoenix

@rscottjones Maybe Skyline could annex another 600 acres and knock Texas off the radar?

The dystopian future in which humanity relegated to shining the shoes of robots (1909).

@glennf I can’t take this ad seriously.

The very idea that robots would smoke pipes is ludicrous. Being vapers seems much more credible.

My experiences with Waymo so far have been most satisfactory.

@simonwood I imagine he must’ve been one of the people who paid the $8000/$10,000 (accounts vary) fee to have the FSD product.

If you spend that much money, goddamnit, you’re gonna use it even if it fucking kills you.

I’d bet you even money he buys another Tesla, too.
