So sad. Hope the home owners are not protected with castle doctrine.

Thankfully we’ve not yet upgraded from Outlook 2016… saving this for if we ever do.

It depends on the country, facility and age of the foetus. In a hospital setting it’s almost always medical waste as far as I know, but some people choose burial or strew the ashes in a special place after an abortion/miscarriage. If it’s a medical abortion it’s a non-issue, usually flushed.

Stem cell research is based on controlled origins, such as embryos from IVF, scientific volunteering, egg donations or similar procedures.

At first I thought ”Well, duh!”, but the manufacturer having a remote kill switch when he network blocked his vacuum from sharing his home map data with them, as well as unprotected root access when connecting to the vacuum… urgh.

The engineer says he stopped the device from broadcasting data, though kept the other network traffic — like firmware updates — running like usual. The vacuum kept cleaning for a few days after, until early one morning when it refused to boot up.

After reverse engineering the vacuum, a painstaking process which included reprinting the devices’ circuit boards and testing its sensors, he found something horrifying: Android Debug Bridge, a program for installing and debugging apps on devices, was “wide open” to the world. “In seconds, I had full root access. No hacks, no exploits. Just plug and play,” Narayanan said.

I must admit I did not keep up with these changes. Good to know. Thank you.

From Sweden: Bahco, Husqvarna, Hultafors and Sandvik make qualitative reliable construction, woodworking, metalwork and other various diy tools and equipment. Anza and Mäster make great paint equipment.

A friend of mine has a seriously old Husqvarna chainsaw that is still going strong, although it’s most frequently used at Christmas for ”sneakily” getting Christmas trees for friends and family.

Thank you.

And why the weird fixation with Charlie Kirk, when there are actual innocents dead?

Looks like needle felting. Seriously cute.

Loved the quote at the end…

One figure who won’t be sad to see the council go? “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane. He said in a 2008 interview with the Advocate magazine that being on the receiving end of the council’s criticism was “like getting hate mail from Hitler.”

Nope.

And thus missing the entire point as it’s a Norwegian thing, the peace prize.

Holy shit.

Yep. I love the way Uppsala has done, with recycling chutes above garbage bins. I’ve only seen this done on Södermalm in Stockholm, really wish for this to be implemented everywhere. I did send a proposal for a cheap solution above garbage bins in the subway to SL 20 years ago, never did receive a reply.

Works very well in Sweden, to the extent that it used to be popular for youth sports club members, pensioners and homeless to scour garbage bins and recycling containers for aluminium cans and PET bottles. Nowadays it’s frequently Roma here on three month stints that do the scouring, but still good nonetheless.

Anyhow, we recycle over 87 percent of plastic and aluminium drinks cans and bottles in Sweden.

Thank you. These kinds of things keep on being horrifying.

Again, I did search this up myself as well, but in my opinion the op should provide a source as well as the catchy (and horrifying) pic.

Source? Yeah, I could use a web search, but I’d expect a source for a claim that would be even mildly interesting.

Put this in nocontext

Thank you.

I have (had) two relatives succumb to dementia (Alzheimers) before they passed.

In one case, that person reverted back to the memories which were at the time of my early childhood. We reconnected in a way that shed off the later traumas for both of us, and while I still could not love that person, I appreciated them for who they were (or thought they were) at that time. And I could grieve their passing.

The other person was pretty much dead to everyone anyways, so yeah, once their memories were gone, they were already dead before their mortal coil passed.
