The new Venom movie has a scene with intense flashing lights (the lab entry scene) and I received no warnings and had to leave (just for that scene) as I am epileptic!!! PLEASE share this since I’ve seen NO warnings being shared and this is very important and can prevent people from having seizures etc during the film.
A dating service where matching is based on people’s search history exists. You’re a serial killer. You go on a date with a writer.
Serial Killer: metaphorically, if you were to kill someone, how would you do it?
Writer: Air shot between the toes, it’ll look like a heart attack.
Serial Killer who is obviously in love already: *sucks in a breath* ok
Writer: how long would it take to die if you were to potentially stab someone in the guts
Serial killer: anywhere from 2 to 30 minutes
Writer, already bringing a ring out: *shaking* thanks
A++ addition
Writer: *shows the serial killer the murder scene they’re writing* babe, i’m not sure if this would actually work?
Serial killer: *kisses writer on the forehead and leaves, comes back later, a suspicious scent of blood coming off them* it works baby, you’re doing great
Last year, Apple outraged independent technicians when they updated the
Iphone design to prevent third party repair, adding a “feature” that
allowed handsets to detect when their screens had been swapped (even
when they’d been swapped for an original, Apple-manufactured screen) and
refuse to function until they got an official Apple unlock code.
Now, this system has come to the MacBook Pros and Imac Pros, thanks to
the “T2 security chip” which will render systems nonfunctional after
replacing the keyboard, screen, case, or other components, until the a
proprietary Apple “configuration tool” is used to unlock the system.
Apple does not tell its customers that the computers it sells are
designed to punish them for opting to get their property repaired by
independent technicians; the details of the T2 came from a leaked
service manual.
Shit like this is why we are supposed to keep businesses on a leash of government regulation but half of ya think that’s too mean and unfair to the livelihoods of trazilluonaires
White Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke has been found guilty of second-degree murder and 16 counts of aggravated battery with a firearm in the shooting death of black teenager Laquan McDonald.
I love the sphenoid complex. It’s gorgeous. It looks so much like a tattered but unbroken moth.
Your sphenoidal sinuses are deep within your skull, behind the olfactory bulb and olfactory sensors in the very back of your nose. They sit around the pterygoid wings of the sphenoid bone, and the upper wall of the sinuses is the upper wings of the bone. These wings are the last bone structure before the brain, and though they’re strong, they’re thin and brittle, and can easily be damaged or destroyed by tumorous growths and head injuries.
Serious sinusitis before antibiotics could become deep-seated (it is usually treated before this happens these days), and if there are any cracks in the pterygoid wings, easily invade the brain cavity. Because of this and related reasons, bacterial meningitis and encephalitis (more serious and higher risk of complications) was at one time much more common than viral meningitis around the world, as it still is in developing countries. The mortality rate was about 10-15%, but many times even people with resolved infections ended up with hearing loss, brain damage, and in children, learning disabilities.
That said, the most important things are that the sphenoid complex seats the pituitary gland, provides support for the optic and the olfactory nerves, and a boundary between the open sinuses (prone to infection) and the brain structures. It prevents transmission of bacteria to the brain, and it provides a stable platform for the nerves that allow us to both see and smell the world around us.
My friend and I are discussing various English/UK accents and I just fucking blurted “Australian accents are like if Britain had a Texas” and guys I feel like I’ve cracked the goddamn code
