Jesus nut

Funny joke, but before anyone assumes this is real and criticizes the print quality:

Both of these photos are edited from the picture on the Wikipedia page for the rotor retaining nut. The one on the right doesn’t even look like a real 3D printed part: the lines on the top surfaces aren’t parallel, in addition to it being incredibly messy overall.

Taking this opportunity to again remind people that the urinary tract is not directly connected to the digestive tract, so this is not an example of a person being a tube. Now, if you have a snack while taking a poo, that would be an example of being a tube, if more hygienically questionable.

Don’t worry, that’s not how epidurals work, or how they go wrong. I’m sure high enough doses of regular IV opioids will feel like sex with god though, then you’ll be very sleepy.

DoorDasher in Indiana arrested for allegedly pepper-spraying delivery

It can happen. Systemic absorption as opposed to only local effects of eye drops can have a big impact, and if you’re trying to poison someone, you’re probably putting in most of a bottle of eye drops (5-15ml) instead of the few drops you would put in your eye, so potentially a ~100x higher dose.

Just thinking briefly about it, I think the more dangerous eye drops would cause lower blood pressure if taken orally or potential kidney problems depending on the drug.

It would probably have to be a high dose to seriously affect a healthy young person, but an older person or someone with underlying health issues or other interacting medications could more easily be affected.

I suppose the common response would be that preventing billionaires from hoarding insane amounts of wealth would remove incentive from them to “innovate and create jobs”. Not that I buy that as being true or worth the wealth disparity currently seen.

My go-to is to just forest introduce myself to the actual client, and then if they have anyone that I don’t already know, just ask something like “And who did you bring with you today?” So far no problems with that method.
