Here in Canada, I recently took a big stumble while snowboarding, and my ankle hurt a lot. I went to the emergency room at the nearest hospital, got X-rays, and they confirmed I had broken my left inner malleolus. They referred me to the specialist clinic, and sent me home with a boot and crutches.
Next Monday, the specialist clinic tell me to show up the next morning (so on Tuesday). I waited pretty much the whole morning for the specialist to see me, he confirmed he needed to operate and put 2 screws in my ankle. The surgery happened later that evening.
Got a follow up 2 weeks later to remove the cast / surgery bandages, more X-rays and they put me back in the boot until the next follow-up a month later, after which I’ll probably start physiotherapy.
All of this cost me about 4$ in EV charging while I was at the ER, and maybe 20$ in medication (painkillers and Tylenol)? And I don’t think it could’ve been any faster. People love to shit on our healthcare system here, but in my experience it’s been amazing.


Honest question: were the other events filmed like Rene’s killing was? My hypothesis is that’s it’s more about the available footage of the incident than the victim’s demographics… But the USA is racist as fuck so I could be wrong.


Yeah, my boss told he’s under pressure from upper management and customers to add AI in our app. His answer is always “to do what?”. So far, nobody has provided an answer, but whenever we get one we’ll be happy to implement it.
These are still right-handed. The blades need to be crossed the other way for left-handed scissors. Making an ambidextrous scissor is physically impossible.
They’re crossed the other way around. Ambidextrous scissors do not exist


Maduro was wanted in the US for a host of alleged crimes
IN THE US. Not in Venezuela. Why do USians think their laws apply outside the country?


I don’t sit down on short (round) toilets because there is no room for my “equipment”, but otherwise I agree.


I bought one the other day that wasn’t even that, it was literally translated by Google translate. It was so bad, I had to translate the French text word-for-word into English before it made sense.
At least they still make minivans, everybody else stopped making them in favour of these ugly-ass “SUV” which are worse in every aspect except towing… There are only 4 options on that market now (well, five if you count the Pacifica separately from the Voyager/Grand Caravan, but it’s more of a trim difference, so let’s say 4.5)
I’ve listed my pronouns under my name in my email signature, and that has cut down significantly on the number of people misgendering based on my first name. It’s not an obscure name at all, but the female version is way more popular and there only a very small letter separating the two versions, so a lot of people hallucinate it.
As a JS dev, I approve of this meme.
Costco is especially infuriating because they do not tolerate anything on the platform before you can start. You also cannot remove anything from the platform before you’ve paid and everything… So you can’t pack as you go, making everything slower and more stressful for everyone. If you even attempt to, the goddamn thing locks up and the clerk has to unlock it for you.

Maybe, I know Teslas are a bit power-hungry when parked.


My wife had to try charging on a 120V outlet last winter. The plug couldn’t even keep up with the battery heating requirements to actually start charging; the battery percentage was going DOWN while plugged in. It was -25°C outside though, so it’s a specific situation, but it’s actually why she had to try to charge; it’s a trip we can easily do without charging in the summer.

I’m gonna have to disagree here, it’s always a guessing game of how many layers of abstraction they’ve used to seemingly avoid writing any implementation code… Can’t put the code related to “bicycles” in the Bicycle class, no, that obviously goes in WheeledDeviceServiceFactoryBeanImpl that’s in the ‘utils’ package.
It’s also frozen at some point which does kill most of the bacteria
These actual people from France can go fuck themselves if they’re serious. We québécois have done way more for the language than them.
Ou, comme on dit en français : qu’ils aillent donc chier, les osti de français.
Sorry, this is kind of a trigger, lol
