The tumblr side of my blog where I discuss the fight for my soul against lust and pornography The name comes from the fact that we are to die to sin, but my sins seem to keep coming back from the dead like zombies. I want the sins to die and not come back. I am a Christian (Southern Baptist), Father of 4. I also post some things that just Interest me.
a 28 year old woman died from complications after being denied a life saving abortion. she had drove to north carolina to receive abortion care in august. the clinic gave her abortion pills which she took at home. unfortunately she had a rare complication causing the fetal tissue to not be fully expelled. this caused her to suffer an infection which prompted her to seek care at a north atlanta hospital. due to georgias strict abortion laws, the healthcare providers did not perform the procedure to save her life. 20 hours she spent in that hospital just slowly dying. her death was completely preventable.
abortion bans kill women.
This woman had necrotic tissue in her uterus. There was in fact no child to save.. they just let her die of sepsis. Not having access to legal reproductive care kills.
The fact that she died of sepsis, if due to the Doctor’s refusal to remove the child who had died in-utero committed, at best gross negligence or malpractice, and at worst wilfully allowed her to die for political points. The case of removal of a deceased child is EXPLICITLY allowed under the law. Look it up, Section 4. Or read the whole thing, it is only 10 pages. I have read that she was scared she would be in trouble and waited too long to seek help, except she would not have been. Women are immune from prosecution in this law.
She died because groups spread wrong information about the law to create fear and stir up opposition.
Can someone please explain to me what evaporated milk is? Wouldn’t that just be gas by definition? I live in constant fear
no no it’s what left behind after the milk has been evaporated cuz only the water goes, not the other stuff
THERE’S WATER IN MILK?
WHAT DID YOU THINK THE LIQUID WAS?
IDK ISNT MILK ITS OWN LIQUID?
NO
IT’S MILK-STUFF MIXED WITH WATER
MILK STUFF? DOESNT IT JUST COME FROM THE COW’S TIT?
ITS LIKE TIT JUICE, THERE IS WATER IN JUICE AND THERE IS WATER IN MILK
It’s fat droplets suspended in water, with some nutrients and soforth dissolved in it. You know, like ranch dressing.
Evaporated milk is just dehydrated milk.
Obsessed with the user who assumed milk was its own element on the periodic table
As op I felt like I had to make this
Milk, the forbidden 119th element
the only question left is if it’s a metal, non-metal, or metalloid.
OP seems to have classified it as a special case of halfnium, reclassified as a lanthanide. This has fascinating implications for electron orbital geometry.
Anyway it’s a rare earth metal apparently.
Yes I definitely classified it intentionally and knew exactly what I was doing when I put it with the lanthanides because I am never wrong
MILK IS A RARE EARTH METAL
I thought so, I took one look at your classification and immediately thought “this is definitely someone with a deep understanding of how the periodic table works”
I’m glad that we have reached a consensus on the expected elemental properties of milk
That would involve writing a crash course in how suborbitals work on a post about whether water (the primary ingredient in milk) is in milk and even for tumblr that’s going a bit far
no, it is absolutely not going too far
You guys always complain that you don’t get to learn stuff in normal ways and then you come asking for this
MILK IS SEVERAL COMPOUNDS PLEASE YALL ARE KILLING ME OVER HERE
We have a container of dry milk because in addition to a little fat and sugars, it contains proteins, which settle into the pores of nitrocellulose membranes, making sure analytical proteins (specific antibodies) don’t get trapped. We could just use casein (one of the proteins in milk), but milk is much cheaper and can also be found at Walmart.
No milk is a lanthanide keep up
lanthanide?
I think you mean lactanide
I will put lego in all of your shoes
A cube of milk with 3 inches of edge length can blow up the galaxy.
Our galaxy is actually the result of such an explosion, that’s why we call it the Milky Way
this is a unique sort of thread in which you’ll find two types of people exclusively: nerds and dumbasses
Enter OCEAN EYES and NOT DEAD YET, two of the king’s most quarrelsome stablehands.
OCEAN May one explain what powdered milk doth be? Is it not gas? I live in constant fear.
NOT DEAD The water flees to air, the rest is left. The dry debris then forms the powdered milk.
OCEAN Thou sayest water doth reside in milk?
NOT DEAD Pray tell what thou believ’st the liquid is?
OCEAN Is milk not one pure substance in itself?
NOT DEAD No; ‘tis only milk-stuff mixed with water.
OCEAN Yet milk appears from living cows’ own tits!
NOT DEAD ‘Tis juice from tits, yet water still it holds. If water be in juice, then ‘tis in milk.
Enter DERIN, the scarlet pescatarian.
DERIN ‘Tis drops of fat afloat in water, As if ‘twas dressing for thy greens. With water gone, the powdered milk remains.
A NOTE attached to an arrow, written by BURNING BRAND, flies through the window.
BURNING BRAND’S NOTE Obsessed with he who foolishly believ’d That milk is element of chemistry.
The NOTE crumbles to ash. BURNING BRAND is not seen again.
OCEAN As he who instigated such a fight, I felt that this creation was my duty.
OCEAN unrolls a scroll of parchment with a flourish.
OCEAN Behold, ‘tis milk, one hundred and nineteen.
Enter JASON FUNDER BERKER, a frog.
JASON FUNDER BERKER And yet the burning question still remains: ‘Tis metal, not, or somewhere in between?
JASON FUNDER BERKER does not wait to hear the answer, and exits.
DERIN A lanthinide! A special case, I see. How fascinating, geometrically. But let us leave atomic musings be. For milk is a rare metal of our Earth.
OCEAN Of course it is, for I am always right. My choices are, of course, deliberate.
DERIN I do not doubt thou speakest truth, my lord Thy brilliant mind is utterly unmatch’d. It seems that an agreement has been reach’d.
OCEAN Of course; however, in sincerity I wish to know thy scholar-driven thoughts.
DERIN I fear ‘twould be beyond thy comprehension. To teach to thee would take this much too far.
Exit OCEAN, in a huff. Enter JESIN, BOOP BOOP, FLIPOCRITE, VELVET, and LOVELY DREAMS, curious onlookers attracted to the scene.
JESIN Do teach us, it would not take this too far!
DERIN Ye all complain of learning strangely, Then ask me baiting questions such as this!
BOOP BOOP Thy gross ineptitude shall be my death! Milk is formed of small component parts. The fat, the sugars, proteins all combine They seep through pores of membranes in this drink Unpleasant compounds all are filter’d out. All this obtained for small amounts of coin.
DERIN No, milk is lanthanide, pray keep the pace.
FLIPOCRITE The word thou mean’st is lactanide, I think.
DERIN May sharpened pain-shaped stones fill up thy shoes So that thou never know’st a moment’s peace.
VELVET A cube of milk, three inches on each side Could blow up the entire galaxy.
DERIN Our galaxy was formed in such a fashion. ‘Tis why we gave it name of “Milky Way.”
LOVELY DREAMS Thus ends our entertainment for the night Here fools and pompous scholars come to fight.
Exuent, pursued by a cow.

This is one of those threads that would go perfectly as a video set to “in the hall of the mountain king” and we all know it, I’m just not gonna be the one to make it
I reached the point of exhaustion where if one more thing went wrong I would cry. And then my laptop’s fan died so anyway I cried.
Can anyone recommend a laptop that doesn’t die in like two or three fucking years? I swear every laptop I’ve owned has been like this, regardless of whether it was the fancy expensive $1700 laptop or the cheapest $600 laptop I could find. And I’ve always used Dell because the internet says they last the longest but I’m kinda sceptical of that claim now. I really desperately do not want an apple anything ever because I need my usb ports but I am getting desperate.
This hunk of junk still has a warranty so I can probably get it fixed and make it last a few more months at least but I literally JUST got the keyboard repaired like a month or two ago and now it has new problems. So I am not optimistic about its lifespan. It may develop new catastrophic problems at any moment.
i dont know much about computers tbh but my dad does! because he has been an IT manager for like 30 years lmao. and he got me an asus vivobook the last 2 times he got me a new laptop, so i would say thats probably a good one because my dad knows his stuff. my last laptop i got at the start of 6th form so like. 5 years ago?? and its still going strong! i gave it to my sister when i got my current one and i used it recently to do some coursework while i was at home for the holidays.
apart from that, im really sorry to hear that you’re struggling :(
I hope things ease up soon and you can take a break <3
Thanks friend! It would be so nice to have a laptop that lasts for six years,.I will definitely look into that one when this thing finally dies.
My university uses 100% Dell and I would not describe myself as massively impressed with their build quality or lifespan, even up into the high end models. Apple computers definitely last the longest overall, but I advise against them for anyone except people who already know they like them; MacOS is an incredibly unpleasant operating system to try and learn/use if you’re coming from a Windows background and are used to being able to do such wild and crazy things as make decisions about the behavior of your own computer and easily cut and paste files. If you’re not already a MacOS user, there’s a good chance you will not become a MacOS user, and I know you well enough to say with confidence you would HATE it.
I’ve always bought HPs and they have always simply become obsolete before they had any hardware failures. My current HP was bought before the pandemic and it’s still trucking along just fine. I will say that looking for computers with aluminum shells (instead of plastic) makes a big difference. Every computer I’ve ever had or worked with that had a proper metal chassis held up much better.
Thank you beloved for your advice and expertise. I am now more confident than ever that I do not want a Mac computer - you can’t cut and paste files?! You’re right, I would hate it.
I will look into HP and things with metal.
Tech nerd here:
- have worked with many Dell laptops. They are easy to repair (minimal experience on Alienware, though). I’ve got an old one that is a occasionally used Linux box.
- daily drive a HP Chromebook for web stuff, but have a tolerance for slow computers and have several other systems. It’s taken abuse from me and survived.
- Don’t go Mac, I can’t help you fix it. One of my worst tech stories involved a Mac formatted external HDD. Don’t go Apple.
- I’ve heard good things about repairing Framework laptops.
What are you trying to do on your laptop?
Mostly pretty basic stuff (internet, word processing, ebooks) plus some programs I need to run for school and work (R is probably the most demanding one, I work with a lot of data sometimes). I’d like to be able to run some lower end videogames but it’s not a necessity.
I don’t think I need anything particularly beefy, I just need it to work reliably and last a while, because I’m sick of computers dying on me at the worst possible moment.
Could you get a nice desktop and a budget laptop (plan on future replacement)? Then use the laptop to remote into the desktop? This way, the laptop takes the abuse but is cheaper to replace.
As for gaming, depending on the specs of the game and laptop, you could play on the laptop.
I personally do my digital art on my Surface because it has a touch screen. Then I run the anti-AI programs on my desktop.
I would say whatever you go for spring for the business class laptop, the consumer level ones are terrible, and in my experience Dell is horrible. We still have 5 and 6 year old HP in service. We recently switched to Lenovo but haven’t had the long enough to get a feel for longevity yet.
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell says the international community must “impose” a solution to the conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians. “What we have learned over the last 30 years, and what we are learning now with the tragedy experienced in Gaza, is that the solution must be imposed from outside,” Borrell told diplomats in Portugal. “Peace will only be achieved in a lasting manner if the international community gets involved intensely to achieve it and imposes a solution,” he says, pointing to the United States, Europe and Arab countries. Borrell also speaks out against the killing of a senior Hamas leader in Lebanon, in a strike widely attributed to Israel, calling it “an additional factor that can cause an escalation of the conflict.”
F*** you, a**hole. The biggest reason Hamas and Hezbollah are as strong as they are and are able to murder so many Israelis is because of impositions by the “international community” that have forced Israel to fight with both hands tied behind its back.
If you are truly concerned with stopping tragedies and not just weakening the world’s one Jewish nation, go impose solutions on some of the real humanitarian disasters that you’ve ignored for years or decades, like the ongoing wars in Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, etc. And aren’t there slave markets in Libya that the “international community can’t be bothered to acknowledge?
of course Euro dipshits love terrorists
Ummm didn’t some place in Europe try to impose a solution on Jewish people once before?… Horrors resulted from that… I do not think it is a wise thing to try again
I need a good source for hydric acid but it always seems to be in an aqueous solution, anyone know how to prep anhydrous hydric acid?
