    I believe that near me, there was something that happened where it was partly human meat. I’ve heard that a worker at the meat packing plant for maccas got fed up with working there, so he tied up all his coworkers and fed them into the meat grinder. I’m actually not too sure if it was the nuggets or the patties, but then again, that’s still fucked

    Edit: I just searched it up a few times and now I’m not even sure if it’s real lol, maybe it’s a myth


  • It’s wild how much this contrasts with Australia’s Medicare, like here you can literally just walk into the ER with any issue, show them your Medicare card and get your entire treatment covered for free unless you need any private healthcare, which even then there are rebates and private healthcare competes with public so it’s also moderately affordable.

    There were 2 instances where my dad needed to be in hospital for multiple days at a time, once for a broken wrist after slipping at the boat ramp after a fishing trip, and the other was a stingray attack on his leg at that same boat ramp. Both instances didn’t require a single cent exchanged, we just walked in and described the issue, and boom, after a few days he was treated to the extent he could go home and not really worry at all anymore.




  • And the funny thing about those phone plans is that once people get close to paying off their iPhone 213 XLLXQ, the carrier would offer you a “free” upgrade to the iPhone 214 XLLXQ Ultra Big-Boy Edition, which then the person paying for it needs to pay for the entire phone again if they take the bait, which tons of people do unfortunately.

    Personally, I’d rather just buy some old flagship phone used, since the features of phones don’t really change much over the years, and I don’t even need a whole lot since I barely use phones anyway unless they’re apart of my kde connect “mesh” of devices



  • If you install an app via the built in package manager, yep, you’ll have to restart to update the system image, but for most apps you’ll need (and don’t require deep system integration), you could just use appimage, flatpak or snap, which will all work without a restart. I’ve actually been using immutable distros for many times I’ve used Linux, and once you use it, it’s easy to get used to it unless your use case would work better on standard Linux.

    Also, I don’t follow much if the kernel hotswapping feature news, but I do know that for these immutable distros, a pretty great feature is that you can just rebase the entire distro via a single command if you’d like, and you’ll keep all user data. I’ve actually done it on one of my spare laptops, rebasing from fedora kionite to bazzite linux, and it wasn’t awfully fast, it took an hour or so, but I find it impressive nonetheless.




  • It’ll probably spur on a higher influx of soldered unified memory based systems until even desktops are commonly soldered in terms of ram and processors. It might even allow for new socket standards, since consumers would be begging at that point.

    It kinda even aligns with my theory of how electronics improve through standards becoming incredibly commonplace but stale, which then creates new form factors that are soldered, and then the rest of the market follows, creating new modularity standards to replace the old ones.
