The problem with patches is you don’t satisfy the oral aspect of the habit so you may need to chew gum or sunflower seeds to replace the act of smoking.

Nicotine gum or pouches may seem like a simpler option, but you can up your dose frequency too much to be able to ween off effectively if you do not have the willpower to keep to a plan.

Gum and patch also means you can not use a patch after a while and mindfuck your reptile brain into thinking the gum is what it wanted and not the nicotine patch.

Make life so expensive that having a kid is financially inviable and then carelessly release chemicals into the environment that causes low fertility or sterility.

If it was leftist tyranny, we would all get equal access to pet squirrels if we want them or not.

Fascism is denying squirrels to those who want them because the state has decided you can not have a squirrel.

Not everybody’s brain works like yours and some may find it helpful to be able to do reminders within lemmy.

Necco wafers.

I like the Atlas better, because I could jump. Also I think it looks cooler.

Can you imagine a Teslabot stepping in shit and dragging that through the house? It wouldn’t even be contained to one floor. It would be everywhere.

Failing to make something work and failing to make it work perfectly are entirely different things.

Autonomous driving works, but it isn’t as good as a human driver at handling abnormal conditions. They really fucked up going all visual instead of combining visual and LIDAR.

I was going to say XP, but 7 is so much better an experience than XP.

There was a keychain Multitool, I think it was called the shard, and it had a hobby knife blade on it that could open in your pocket. People were getting stabbed in the leg or hand reaching their hand in their pocket.

That is pure chaotic hatred in keychain form.

Teslabot only needs AI control to be a viable human worker replacement. They will release it earlier than they should and there will be problems that they learn through public beta testing(see Tesla autonomous driving.)

Atlas is incubating in an internal beta so it can be exactly what they want to deliver. I honestly think Atlas is good enough to be put in the real world as-is, but I applaud their patience and desire to have as close to perfection as possible.

I expect Teslabot to retail over their $30k estimate, probably closer to $60k at turn-key. Atlas I expect to be closer to $100k or more with support contracts. Teslabot will probably be the hot product for the wealthy to act as a butler or grocery getter when paired with an autonomous Tesla. Atlas will be more commercially successful but a small number of rich nerds would totally get one to play with.

The Samsung bar needs to be on the sides of a key ring so it falls flatter.

Windows hasn’t added any features of value since Windows 7.

Same, not a fan.

What is annoying is I am working on a dipping sauce and it needs thickening and toning the flavor down, mayo is the right answer but I don’t want to.

In this situation I would imagine him tapping OP on the shoulder or worse.

Humanity is already dead. Allowing him the chance to get to HR first to complain means you are going to be on the wrong side of things.

We don’t know his mental state or what he may do if rejected.

Without knowing more about the situation, the best response is impossible to determine.

Are they fixated on you because they think you have social needs?

Has everybody else told them off because he is annoying and by not telling him off you are granting some degree of (passive) acceptance that he is needing?

Is he romantically interested in you?

“Look man, I just have no interest in having work friends. I am here to do my job and go home. You are distracting me from doing my job and I don’t appreciate that.” Or whatever.

Going to HR may be the smart move to avoid him going to HR about you not being friendly or a team player or whatever nonsense if you professionally tell him off. I wouldn’t tell HR you are being harassed, just tell them that he is distracting you from work and don’t appreciate it. If he continues after HR talks with him, then tell HR you feel harassed.

You going to HR can also take place of talking to him yourself. You talk to HR and ask them to tell him to let you work, they talk to him so you don’t have to try and navigate his bullshit and you get the issue noted to support your side of things.

It’s like finding out an abusive ex married into money.

What they don’t want is for you to not have to touch the blade to open the knife. So if there is a stud or protrusion that you apply leverage to on the blade, seems good.

What is nonsense about this law is the centrifugal deployment. If your pin that the blade rotates on is not tight and you can flick the blade out, illegal. What would be tight enough? You would have to make it hard to open with two hands because that officer deciding if you are legal can flick that knife as hard as they want. So you may not have the grip strength and/or skill to flick the knife out, but that officer can.

They want you to carry a Swiss Army knife or folding buck knife. Actually they don’t want you to ever carry a knife, unless you need one for work, which make sense because anyone working is magically unable to harm someone with a razor blade, linoleum knife, or duct knife.

Motrin(Ibuprofen) because it works better for me, assuming the migraine doesn’t cause me to puke it up right after.

Aspirin has never been of value to me and I would only take it if I had a heart attack.
