The trick is to just keep taking more crack continuously, then everything is better all the time.

I tend to sit down to pee most times (at home), so that ratio is even higher for us…

Been looking for the link but kind of immediately regretted watching that jesus fuck that’s a lot of blood.

It’s a real thing, road design has an inherent “natural speed” where most drivers feel comfortable, not too quick, not too slow. In the Netherlands if you get a speeding ticket there is a chance that you can successfully argue in court that the road design invited you to drive faster and get the fine annuled. When that happens the government will ask the company responsible for that bit of road to add traffic calming measures like bumps, or obstacles you have to go around that slow you down. Highways are an exception though.

As an addon, those private companies responsible for the roads have to abide by certain design philosophies made by the government, and they are legally responsible for the safety of the roads, if someone dies and it’s found to be due to the road design, or its state of maintenance for example, they can be charged massive sums of money.

Ah yes I can see where you’re coming from, for me they are automatically classified as very different because one is sweet and one is savoury…

I deserve the meme though, well played.

I disagree about them being equivalent, they’re completely different? But I have no strong feelings about which is better.

No need to apologize, you live and breath that stuff and are aware of all the dumb shit regular people like me will do I’m those situations, the harshness is coming from a place of love I can tell. I’ll definitely have your good advice in mind shall something like this occur again, thank you (and thank you for the work you do).

Hey, I really appreciate you jumping in, I’m glad I randomly checked on the thread because since you replied to the other guy, I didn’t see it myself (I’m the OP).

You made some great points and raised a bunch of info that no one really gave me so far, not at the hospital that day or when talking about it with others since, all very valuable stuff.

I just want to clarify that I was exaggerating for dramatic effect, and definitely drove to the emergency safely, respecting all driving laws and while his mom was in the back monitoring him the whole time. There was no speeding above the limits, no red lights, etc, I’m not a dumbass.

I do want to add that if I did call an ambulance right away and they sent in a heli or something I would’ve been even more mortified, having taken crucial resources away from people who might actually need it. I understand now the actual advice is “wait until you see if there’s any reaction, and then call an ambulance if needed”, and that they would first start by evaluating the situation/give us advice.

So yeah, just for the sake of anyone reading, don’t be like me, don’t panic, and call the appropriate services if/when needed. It’s tough as new parents sometimes and I learned the lesson that day, I do think it’s relatable and sharing it led to your valuable insights so hey, that’s a win right?

That was precisely my reasoning, we didn’t know if he’s allergic and especially in the neck it could’ve gone from fine to dead real quick, and I’m not about to improvise a tracheotomy… I get why she teases me though, I really acted like I was in an action movie lol.

Yeah I really don’t think I’ll need it that often, definitely not for any of the practical parts, it would just be for the fun things I’d print for the kid.

I’ve abused a friend with a P1S before but the reason I want my own is because I find that I want to try things out, make a test print, rework the design, refine the tolerances, etc etc. You make a good point about getting access to the other technologies and materials though, I’ll see if I have something like this closeby as well.

I guess I might have to bite that bullet, I can’t help being attracted to newer models and cheap alternatives but the P1S with AMS would be in budget and then I have Bambu…

Thank you for the input 🙏

My wife was just making fun of me yesterday to my doctor sister in law for that one time we were camping in Germany and I went all fast and furious and parked in front of the emergency gate of the hospital when my son got stung by a bee in the neck. I try to reason myself but that day my primal instinct kicked in stronger than I could ignore.

Horrific stuff.

“in any country” took it too far, since there’s places where you can basically buy a house outright for that amount. “Western/first world” wouldn’t even cover it I don’t think, with Italy and eastern Europe being a thing. Even in my very expensive western European country our mortgage isn’t that much higher than that (we kinda lucked out), but of course once you account for all real expenses it is.

Are you the OG poem-sprog from Reddit? If so you gave me a poem back in the days, can’t remember what it was about anymore I’d have to dig it out, but I certainly remember it happening. Hi!

Yes, I fully agree with the point about remembering 9/11 as a millennial, and wasn’t commenting about that, I just disagree about the one where you said generational terms are a US-only thing :)

And yes, we use the English term for baby boom, it’s a loan word, just like you say “croissant” (or at least, attempt to, haha).

I don’t agree with this at all to be honest. I’m French, and the baby boom was very much a thing there. The term might have been coined in the US but the demographics events behind it very much happened in much of Europe post-WW2, and for example my parents referred to themselves as such long before we started having a shared online global culture. As for millennials, I’m pretty sure the entire world changed millennium at the same time, why would only Americans be allowed to use the very obvious term?

Yeah I remember the meetups and I see there’s a mention of a military base as “most addicted” place, but not sure that’s what the other comment was talking about.
