They are a lot cheaper yes, diamond mining companies artificially limit supply to keep the price of the mined diamonds up. We have an abundance of them, so the lab grown ones are significantly cheaper because their supply isn’t artificially limited

As lemmy grows I go on reddit less and less, these past few weeks have been much better for content actually

Yeah red dye goes a long way and is easy to make

yeahh, society preaches loyalty to your company first rather than loyalty to yourself and your health first. It’s unfortunate. I will say, I love my team at work, and if it’ll be good for the app we develop and its a very rare instance where we crunch to get something done, I’m willing to do that. But that’s only because it’s not common and because my team is good and my employer is decent. If it were a company that were shitty to me, I would not put in the effort unless I was in danger of being fired and I desperately needed the money, and even so I would be actively searching for a new job.

If you’re doing more than you’re supposed to do, or doing things outside of normal work time, no matter what DOCUMENT IT. If they’re a good employer, they’ll compensate and reward you, if they’re a bad employer you can leave and it’ll be easier to update your resume by referencing your own documentation

Yep!

Twice, for my wisdom teeth and my colonoscopy. The first time I didn’t feel anything and I was out as soon as he put the drug in the IV. I blinked and woke up in the waiting room afterwards. I was groggy and my cheeks were packed with gauze, but I was fine after that

For the colonoscopy I felt the slight chill in my veins, and it felt like I was giving into a very deep sleep that I really wanted. However I was exhausted from shitting my brains out the night before so I definitely did want to sleep lmao.

When I woke up I felt a little high and super well rested, it was great, like I had just smoked a small bowl. One thing they don’t tell you about colonoscopies until the day of is that they put air up there as the camera goes up so they can see inside more clearly, and you “expel” all that air when you wake up.

The nurse told me the procedure was finished as I came to and as I lay there high and half asleep, I RIP HUGE ASS. I’m holding in laughter like a little kid because fart jokes are still funny especially when I’m high lmao.

I get into the car and my gf has a sandwich waiting for me. I hadn’t eaten solid food in about 24 hours and I was still kind of high. Best fucking sandwich of my life.

Almost the entirety of the storage on my pc is code or games, everything else is on my NAS

2tb games drive, 1tb boot drive with about 50% filled up with games

Seconded, the only place I’ve been able to buy reasonably priced quality glasses for way cheaper than other places

And Adobe

Damn, that’s not clearly coded to mean people you don’t agree with politically at all

We can literally make perfect diamonds in a lab, there is literally no reason we are still mining them

Credit scores

That’s the threads holding the tire together, they are embedded in the tire for a reason, if you hit those at speed, it could catastrophically fail, as in perforate and blow.

Can confirm you won’t die, I know a guy who basically does this lmao
