    "Thanks to a shortage of parts, Sony stopped repairing Aibos in March of last year. Repair work is now left to home-grown technicians, who have to cannibalize some Aibos to fix others. On one level, it’s amazing that the dogs have lasted 16 years, way beyond what I’d ever expect of a gadget these days. But it’s also a sobering reminder that nothing — not even obedient, adorable robot dogs — last forever."

    Let's say I am a healthy adult male. Is there any reason I shouldn't replace all my sodium chloride with potassium chloride?

    Fucking about with your potassium levels can cause some minor issues such as sudden heart attacks with no warning.

    You'd probably be totally safe, honestly, but it is not a thing I'd do. But I'm paranoid about potassium a bit because my anti-boy pills raise serum potassium so it's a risk for me (SUDDEN HEART ATTACKS, that is).

    My parents are probably putting my childhood house on the market very soon.

    On the one hand, this is sad. And I am losing some things I still have emotional connection to (my cat's grave, for instance, which I'm consider taking a small bit of the dirt from because I kind of need it atm).

    But on the OTHER hand, I am gonna try and make off like a bandit. They have a marble surface and marble rolling pin and I AM TAKING IT IT IS MINE NOW

    YES THAT CROCK POT TOO

    EXPENSIVE POWER TOOLS MAYBE?!

    NRK has sound from phone logs and a huge article about an incident

    a sudanese asylum seeker, with fresh rejection papers and deportation date the day after, was on a bus crossing the mountains to Oslo.

    kart_bilde_nytt.jpg?updated=041120131915

    Other than the driver and him, the only other passengers was a swede in his 50s, on his way home to Göteborg after a few months at a nursing home, and a 19 year old student heading back to uni after a visit home.

    Somewhere along the route he got up and killed everyone on the bus with a knife. Signs pointed to the driver being attacked first - he stopped the bus safely, while bleeding to death.

    Emergency dispatch dropped the ball, and police were informed way too late that there was a knife in play. An off-duty lensmann and his deputy armed themselves and hurried towards the site when the police got told, which was when the firemen had arrived.


    Nobody knew how many passengers there was and if any of them were still alive, so the firemen who arrived armed themselves with hammers and fire extinguishers, and stormed the bus.

    Giant Bomb has Samantha Kalman on their live show and there's shitty transphobic comments popping up in the chat, which sucks. But they have mods flagging and removing the comments in seconds, plus they announced that they'll be circling back around and issuing temp and perm bans to all the shitbirds after the stream, which is pretty rad.

    It's nice when people put in at least some effort. It seems like a reasonable number of places are being dragged kicking and screaming out of the "lol don't feed the trolls" line of thinking.

    Also guys just don't eat a shitload of salt for fuck's sake. You can cook without that much salt. There are other spices.

    The sudanese man died at the hospital in Bergen, after jumping off a roof in prison. Nobody knows why he did what he did.


    It's the second time that the Valdres express has gotten hijacked by an asylum seeker, in fact.

    In 2003 an ethiopian also attacked the bus driver with a knife. But this time there were 34 passengers. After stabbing the bus driver he went backwards in the bus, stabbing people at random.
    1984933.jpg


    Audun Bøland, the driver, was the only person who died. And he got named the Name of The Year and got Carnegie's medal for heroism, posthumously.

    He got it because they were on a twisty stretch of road with sheer rock on one side and a cliff going into the fjord on the other when he got stabbed, and his last efforts he spent keeping his bus on the road and his 34 passengers alive.

    The apple watch is just such a silly product. It's not useless but it is probably the most unnecessary thing I own, and I own both a 1 kg tungsten cube and a virtual boy.

    A few times a day it does something that makes me laugh the same way that bethesda game bugs make me laugh.

    @Spool32 no, because then you'd get half the saltiness taste.

    If you look at the bottle, it's a mixture of ionic compounds - sodium chloride and potassium chloride, rather than just sodium chloride. If you're trying to reduce the level of sodium in your diet, but have no issue with potassium, then you can get the same saltiness level for half* the sodium content.

    *actually if it's a 1:1 mixture you'd need to add a little more than half as much, since apparently the perception of saltiness with potassium ions is 60% as strong as that of a same-molar solution of sodium ions but w/e
