I just spent a good hot minute or 10 looking for advice I posted months ago for you, and anyone else for that matter…

You got my upvote 👍

If you have a task that needs to be done, and you happen to have the money to pay someone else to do it, there’s a plenty of people out there that need work…

I had this happen to me a long time ago. I woke up hearing the thing scratching/chewing at my eardrum, and it’s extremely painful.

Cockroaches cannot walk backwards, so when in a confined space like that, they’ll naturally try to chew their way forward.

Advice, should this ever happen to anyone else, as long as you catch it early and don’t have a hole in your eardrum, is to pour rubbing alcohol in your ear, then of course go see a doctor.

Rubbing alcohol will like immediately kill the little demon, preventing any further chewing, but of course you’ll need to see a doctor to get it out.

I feel really bad for the woman though, sounds like she didn’t catch it early enough, as apparently more damages were done which prompted surgery. If you catch it early enough, it should be about as simple as killing it and removing it with tweezers.

Luckily I have absolutely no hearing loss after my experience, largely because I thought quick to kill it with rubbing alcohol.

I hope her landlord pays up, that’s really messed up.

I can honestly say I’ve never had that problem.

No, it would be the same if I ate your ton of garlic and you ate my ton, by then neither of us would have a sense of smell either way.

So the universe remains in balance, as it always has.

Of course I wouldn’t expect any emulator to run faulty instructions by default, but it seems to me that it would be an interesting option for digital historians to study, if for no other reason than shits and giggles…

Didn’t Windows 95 and 98 have a built in system feature to detect whether the CPU had this issue? I believe it would disable the FDIV instruction and emulate it in software instead on affected processors. What I’m not sure of is whether it only disabled the FDIV instruction or whether it disabled the entire FPU…?

Thankfully and luckily I never had an original Pentium affected by this issue.

You forgot the basement nerd that’s hung like a gnat and hasn’t touched grass since 1984.

That’s why I live on the second floor…

You’re a day late, but luckily I still have some. I’m in the gray tent behind the Burger King, you know which one…

are?

Don’t you mean aren’t?

One time, I got so high, I forgot I still had more weed left.

Wait, that was last night, I still have weed left?! Yay!

I’m confused. Is this a Saddam Hussein meme?

LOL, no I haven’t, but I might have to check later. Got a link or two?

IDK, entirely possible I guess 🤷

Either way, if I was riding a bicycle IRL and encountered that, I’d move that shit.

Probably because if there wasn’t a bike lane, bicyclists would be forced to use the road. I’m pretty sure there aren’t any bicyclists riding at automobile highway speeds. Obviously counterintuitive to block the bike lane with that sign though.

Some areas in a town near me have bridges that don’t have bike lanes, and it’s technically illegal for bicyclists or pedestrians to cross those bridges. But there’s no other way to get to the other side of town without crossing one or the other bridge.

Act like that’ll stop me from crossing on a bicycle if and when I need to? Hell no, but I ain’t about to ride in traffic, I ride cautiously in the service lane. That sucks though, the service lanes are lined with reflectors and littered with broken glass and tire fragments and shit.

The world in general needs more proper bike lanes, without boneheads screwing up and making them unsafe with random obstacles.

WATCH FOR BIKES? Well no shit, if that sign is in front of me, I see a bicycle right under my ass, that’s what the lane is for right?

Put the stupid sign in the buffer zone and call it a day…

I have heard something about this, yes. Still…

Ah, I like heart fruits as well… 🤦‍♂️
