I have a sticker ion my locker that states “violence is always an option”. Never fails to raise eyebrows.

Which machine?

I speak my native language for a couple of decades now and the more I speak it, the more I realize I don’t master it.

I can read, write and hold a conversation in English. But if asked, I will say I can get by but very far from even the lowest level of mastery.

Not.

English is a very straigh forward to learn language.

Now, an English native speaker learning a gender declining language… oh, how fun to watch.

Maybe the tariffs will serve to cull a bit of the consumist impulse the US suffers of.

Regarding if a machine is desirable or not: I’m still seeing Windows XP machines being sold today for over 100€. No monitor, no peripherals, no nothing: just the machine. And people needing a machine to type a report, do a spreadsheet, do basic office work, with no other option, pay for it.

i run my machines until they stop working, period.

yes!

The used market is going to bomb if older machines can’t be setup with newer windows version.

Which one?

A C-section is a surgical act and extremely important as it has the potential to save lifes, both of mothers and children.

The matter at hand is not about deeming all medical acts performed during a delivery as useless but to acknowledge that many are performed routinely without need and even without the agreement, previous information or consent of the woman and mother to be.

One such is that oh-so-important act being routenily abused, with doctors pushing it to women with the argument that it is the safest way to plan the delivery. But planning a delivery is only a concern for the physician. If a pregnancy is normal under all aspects and there are no telling signs the delivery will be complicated, why point women to an unnecessary surgical act?

Unfortunately, medical violence is a thing and many professionals, even when saying the episiotomy is a decision for the woman, put it in such a way that the message conveyed is that the episiotomy makes giving birth easier and quicker. What is witheld is that it makes it easier for them.

Giving birth was turned into a surgical event, when it is only a phisiological one.

I’m beyond the point where the casual anti-soviet jab strikes me as funny.

And that’s fine.

Why not skip the neon bright lights and just go straight to a full on 1984?

With enough motivation, enough carpet cleaning detergent and a power washer, that will clean up nicely.

Or just set it on fire.

Honestly my preferred manufacturer since I started putting together my own machines.

And that, obviously.

Hopefully, it won’t nor did it.

No safety shoes, no helmet, no protection glasses or ear plugs to be seen anywhere.

Completely safe.

I have a personal rule that states I’m there to work, not make friends.

This does not mean I’m openly trying to be hostile or rude towards people but I will hardly consider a work acquaintance any more than that.

Likewise.
