All the projections I’m seeing him show him almost certainly winning the popular vote. There’s a gap of 6 million votes and almost every state is over 90% reported in. That gap is going to likely shrink a bit, but unfortunately it almost certainly won’t be enough for him to even lose the popular vote.

Lets face it, we’re (assuming you’re american) apparently just a country of facists. It looks like GOP is going to have majority in both houses too so here comes project 2025 I guess.

Trump is winning the popular vote by a pretty decent margin. The electoral college isn’t the issue here.

There is a med called Welbutrin which can be prescribed for quitting smoking and it works really well. It’s also prescribed as an antidepressant so one of my smoker friends was on it for that reason and they almost completely quit smoking without even trying to. Of course, it is not without It’s sideeffects but among antidepressants it is one of the usually best tolerated ones. I’m on it for my depression now and the only issue I have is that it can make me really anxious, but I’m also on nearly the maximum dose where for smoking cessation you wouldn’t be taking anything close to that amount.

I was a refrigeration tech in a place that made high end refrigeration equipment. Fun fact, when some refrigerants get too hot, they break down into hydrogen flouride which forms hydroflouric acid when it comes in contact with water, such as the water in your respriatory tract. Acids taste and smell sour. Being that I normally worked with brand new equipment, I had never dealt with burned refrigerant before. This resulted in me wondering why the hell the refrigerant in an RMA machine had a sour smell when purged the lines on my manifold. Like the dumbass I am I wound up smelling a fair bit of that refrigerant trying to identify why it smelled sour before it finally occured to me that I had been practically snorting hydrogen flouride. One hospital trip, a few chest xrays, and an ECG later I wound up being fine. The next day I came back to work to find that my smartass boss had put a bag of sour candy on my desk.

At the same time though, he sees where people have routinely fucked up. He sees exactly what critical incompatibilities get missed until it leads to a divorce.

I’d say it’s more like an ER doctor teaching people how to use a chainsaw. They may not necissarily know what to do, but the sure as hell know what not to do.

Bed bugs. Easily.

Oh, cool! When you said parasitic wasp my brain immediately pictured a tarantula hawk wasp.

Gonna be honest chief, I would sooner burn my house down than live with wasps.

But thinking about it, I’m willing to bet that house centipedes would clear them up too. Those voracious little buggers eat everything.

Grain moth larva. Good luck. The damn things are a pain to get rid of once you have them. You’ll want to pitch any food that isn’t 100% air tight sealed (bags or boxes of cereal, rice, flour, sugar, noodles, etc.) and then clean out any cabinets really well to make sure you get rid of as many eggs as possible. After that make sure you don’t leave any food unsealed for the next few months because odds are they will keep popping back up ocasionally for a bit and if they can get into anything when they do then the infestation starts all over. As far as infestations go they aren’t the worst to deal with but they are anoying.

Even if that’s the case state is also very important when it comes to laws.

Fastenal

Idk about food but I used to work for a company that sold fastners and tools via vending machine all the time.

My favorite garage band.

Streamio + torrentio my dude.

Weird, I know people can be alergic to basically anything but I’ve neaver heard about those alergies. Are we talking about alergies as in full blown anaphylaxis or an alergies as in severe gastric distress?

It’s not a good movie but it’s a fun watch if you’re not expecting much.

Lol. $1200. That was literally the minimum because the invoice listed 0 miles and no supplies used. If they would have let me crawl then I would have.

Lol. I do definitely know a few people of the “sit on it till it’s septic” school of thought when it comes to going to the hospital. Not surprisingly they’re all medical professionals. My step dad is literally a paramedic instructor and if I had a dollar for every time he wound up the the ICU for an issue that was “nothing, I’m fine” then I could buy myself a decent beer.

It’s happened to me a while back because of a likely electrolyte imbalance. I actually passed out in the hospital urgent care because I had gone in for feeling so shitty. Then they call an ambulance to take me from the urgent care doors to the ER doors across the parking lot. Of course the first thing they did before the ambulance even got there was put a saline IV in so by the time I got to the ER I felt perfectly fine and the tests didn’t find anything. Doc said I probably just had low sodium. That’s also where I learned for the first time that SSRIs sap sodium from your body which seems like something they should tell you when they put you on them.
