Saying it was the furthest thing from his mind when he clocked in each day at the Northwestern Steel and Wire factory in the 1950s, retired laborer Henry Mitchell, 84, told reporters Monday that he had absolutely no idea his earnings from six decades ago would have to support the next three generations of his family. “Back then, I knew I needed the money I was making on the production line to feed and clothe my kids, but I really had no clue that my grandkids and even their kids would still rely on it all these years later,” said Mitchell, noting that, had he realized his wages operating a metal rolling machine during the middle of the previous century would eventually be called upon to provide for 11 separate family members, he would have done a better job budgeting his weekly salary of $65.
NOT every creature is safe to handle! F. snipsnapi and related subgenera are obligate phalangivores and the leading cause of finger loss worldwide.
i was able to act fast & trap this one in the unforgiving void of my bath tub. last i checked it was standing stock-still waiting for the terrain to load in. too bad, little buddy. you’re in my world now
I know I sound like your mom but you kids need to stop fucking vaping
1) Vaping is confirmed to cause cancer. Vaping coats the lungs with toxic substances, such as heavy metals and benzene, which are known to cause cancer
2) Many vapes contain diacetyl, which, when inhaled causes popcorn lung, or scarring of the lung
3) Ultrafine particles, when being inhaled, can be lodged in the trachea (not good!)
4) Ultrafine particles can also constrict the arteries in the lungs potentially causing A HEART ATTACK
5) Vaping is relatively new. Not much studies have been done in comparison to tobacco. Plus, the vaping companies are powerful people. There is a large chance that they are purposely downplaying and even burying any evidence that vaping is harmful - just like the tobacco companies before them. They do not care about you, or your health, or the truth. They only care for money
Also STOP VAPING INDOORS AROUND OTHER PEOPLE. Holy shit, if you’re gonna wreck your lungs at least give me the option not to wreck mine.
It’s such an issue that the MTA had to run a campaign about it
yeah okay ill reblog that
Please I’m begging yall as an asthmatic, your fruit-flavored vapor will still give people around you who are smoke-sensitive attacks. So will weed. Don’t do it inside; if you’re at a bus stop or something try to not stand right next to people or move downwind of them if you can.
The first rule of sewing is you can fix anything if you have patience, creativity, and a little bit of extra fabric! The second rule of sewing is AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
while jamming my entire body between two closing elevator doors today, i was met with wide eyes, and i thought to myself “this probably looks frightening to people that don’t have a thorough technical understanding of how elevators work and the history behind why they are so insanely safe”
and then i remembered the story of the tenured civil engineering professor who, with a running start, would leap and throw himself full-force at skyscraper windows in order to demonstrate their structural properties, until one day the window popped out of the frame, unbroken of course, and he fell to his death
it was a lawyer but yes it was exactly as described
The story of Garry Hoy is unfortunately really funny because most engineers are flabbergasted by his behavior and more or less like “we have no idea why he thought this was a good idea, windows don’t have allowances for that behavior” so it’s not even like he was as educated or safe as OP, man was just constantly risking death until he got it.
this is not to say you shouldn’t make characters with strabismus- you should! i want to see people with my disabilities! but i think a little research can go a long way. i’d love to see it given more depth in writing than just being an indicator of intelligence (which it isn’t and never has been!)
