I’ve never wanted or needed to go back, if that’s what OP is asking. SNR is higher, less to scroll through.

The plans were filed with the local council ages ago, not our fault if you didn’t see them

• Nick’s Burger from Nick’s Tavern in Lemont, IL. 1/2 lb of deliciousness, built for the industrial workers at the plants along the Des Plaines River.

• Hothead Burger from Lucky Monk in South Barrington, IL. T’was the perfect combo of spicy and fresh cow. Sadly, it is no longer on the menu.

Yeah, you get two best burgers. Complaints to /dev/null.

My dogs, my awesome wife, and lots of video games. Some pot now and then, also, but there’s a limit to how much it helps.

Social anxiety around embarrassment and rejection tends to keep me away from family and friends, so I embarrass myself only around safe people.

Nah. Reddit content is noticeably worse after the API changes. I don’t find myself going back unless I’m searching for something technical for my job. I’m not actively trying to avoid it, but that’s just how it’s working out.

Should they? Yes.

Would they? Ahhhahahaha

As an armchair scientist and a Chicagoan, I support this stunt. :)

But seriously, as I observed elsewhere, 0.1 µSv/banana is way higher than 3.9 µSv/yr.

Never, because I’m a very stable geenius.

• if they get a tattoo advertising the public transport system.

No thanks

After a year of sleeping on one, I wanted to introduce it to an air-to-surface missile. Mattress is the only way to go.

Laser Blast and Pitfall 2 on the 2600

Are bananas next? 0.1 µSv/banana is way higher than 3.9 µSv/yr 😱

The time before, I got laughed out of the room.

Sudden? That’s been declining for years my dude.

I’m lucky if people understand the first bullet point in my emails. I’m luckier still if they keep reading, never mind understand my next point.

In terms of upcharges and fees, anything is possible with telecom billing. It’s so bad that many telecoms have full-time staff to audit the bills from other telecoms.

You’ve got your work cut out for you. Sounds like your town has a reputation for being a great place to visit. Correcting that impression should be your main goal.

• Review bombing. Tell the world the cloud cover is 100% at all times, and there is no chance of seeing auroras.

• Expand that into a an anti-PR campaign. “Wouldn’t you be much happier at $NEXT_TOWN_OVER?”

• Put up warning signs for the fish, warning them quite clearly in large block letters against the German scourge. There is quite a large language barrier, but I’m optimistic that octopi could help bridge the gap.

• A chain link fence might work even better. A ring situated in a 7-10km radius from your town coast ought to keep the big fish away and safe.

• Leaflets dropped in the ocean are another idea, describing common lures and tactics used. However, keeping those waterproof in a eco-conscious way might be challenging, and the above mentioned language barrier would need overcoming.

• Open a tavern at $NEXT_TOWN_OVER. Free beer for folk staying there, charge double for tourists from your town.

The above items are tongue-in-cheek, of course. This one isn’t:

• Become an advocate against over-tourism in your town. Overfishing and property value are real concerns. Propose limits on Airbnb listings. Tell your story about your struggle to find a place to live in your hometown. Amsterdam’s recent actions against overtourism might be a helpful guide on how to do this effectively.

Best of luck to you.

What do tourists come to see in your town?

No, that’s actual persecution. It’s not the “religious freedom” nonsense prevalent in the US.

Hold on for just a couple more years. I know it will seem like an eternity, and I know the damage that has been done. But you will be moving to a much better place.

As my steezy took pains to point out, general anesthesia is not sedation. General means you cannot breathe on your own. Sedation (like with propofol) means you can still breathe, but you have no working memory of what happens.

I’ve had sedation administered a few times in the past few years, two colonoscopies and a bone spur shave on my big toe.

Colonoscopies are fairly quick, maybe 30-45 minutes for the full procedure. There was a burn in my vein in as the injection was administered via IV, followed shortly by a dizziness that wasn’t altogether unpleasant. Next thing I know, I’m waking up in recovery. The dizziness lasted for about 7-10 minutes. Felt about 90% good for the rest of the day, 100% the next.

For the bone spur, I was out for about 2 hours. Experience was similar, except it took quite a bit longer for the propofol dizziness to wear off, maybe 4-5 hours. Not that I was going to drive anywhere with a recently operated toe, but there’s no way I would have tried. After a good night’s sleep, I felt 100% next day.
