  • It’s one of those situations where big money will use illegal or unfair means to sway or change law, then tell the people to “play by the rules” or “do it the right way” after having changed it to be heavily in their favor. Most people will try to do it the “right” way too as it’s the only realistic option. Until it is so unreasonable that other methods end up being more palatable.



  • I’m under the assumption it healed on it’s own. The pain is gone and hasn’t come back, although I haven’t lifted nearly as intensely since. I have access to a nurse outside of a hospital so they helped me keep tabs on it, took something around 1.5 months to heal up though.

    The dichotomy of how resilient or fragile our bodies are is wild. I like your analogy of various consistencies of jello.

    Well on the bright side you found out about the hernia, hopefully before it was a serious issue and got it fixed.



  • I’d assume there are those safeties and interlocks, you’d always want that, a thumbdrive with a program that disables it is just as easy and not a “bug” which is what I was getting at. But yeah, it’s unlikely most cargo ships would want that probably. I’m simply playing devils advocate because they do seem to have them, so how or why in the most reasonable sense is all I’m arguing.




  • I hate going to hospitals, especially in cities. They really don’t seem to care unless they can physically see how injured you are. I saw an independent nurse and a walk in clinic before they both said to go to the ER when I tore something inside my abdomen. Waited 15 hours to be seen, struggled to breath without pain, and passed out from pain during the Xray. The Dr said I passed out from anxiety and sent me home with nothing and no advice.

    One of the absolute worst experiences I’ve had at a hospital, and all I wanted was to make sure it wasn’t my gall bladder. Of course they also charged the obscene US prices too



  • My other thought behind it was also not necessarily that it is it’s own device/explosive but more so along the lines of “we will intentionally run this poorly to cause itself to self destruct.” Akin to running a car engine untuned and without a radiator then full throttling it.

    Someone may have just developed a program that tells the engines to do that so you wouldn’t exactly need anything physically installed to have it work.
