For whole blood, I’ve only ever been given a t-shirt. For plasma alone though, it was purely dependent on your weight and, therefore, how much they can take from you in the one session. I’m a tiny dude who barely weighed enough to qualify and got about $80 a couple years ago. It’s honestly not worth it at all, but if you’re broke it’s easier than many other options. The place was full of the “undesirables” of society because of that. It drained me emotionally, seeing how blatantly exploitative it is.
Edit to add: these plasma donations can be done with a tighter window between them too, so the people who were always short on cash were in there every 2 weeks.
Edit again: I forgot that that was an introductory deal where they give you an extra $40, so it was actually $40 for me. Overweight patients could get around $70-$80.
The power dynamic is ever present. Can a person detained by a law enforcement officer consent to sex with that officer?
Inspired by chemical defenses used in nature by plants such as the sundew.
It just really feels weird to me to describe something as GLUE, but then also say that it doesn’t use chemicals. One thing I take into consideration most times I’m using glue, is whether the item I’m gluing will be melted by the glue.
I get what they’re trying to say, but glue is a description of a chemical compound in my mind.
Why would you remind me of this traumatic experience???
Good idea, let’s put the guy who covers up for pedophiles into the discussion on ethical AI.
I’m on my second one of their trackball mice in 8 years, and the first one only failed because I hit it too hard getting frustrated at a videogame. My G915 mechanical keyboard is going strong at 3 years old now, and my brother even left it upside down in a puddle once. I really don’t get all these accessories of failing Logitech hardware.
They’ve been over-promising on this product for more than ten years now. I remember watching promotional videos no later than 2013 for this exact product under the same Humane name. It’s honestly kind of impressive that they kept their over-promising in lock-step with the progression of technology.
Voyager has a setting to show a baby emoji next to the name of a user if their account is less than a month old and an account age. Probably one of the best features I’ve ever seen for immediately recognizing troll accounts.
You may like Shokz. Their headsets are wireless and bone-conducting. The drivers get pressed to your temples with a flexible wire connecting them and you hear the sound conducting through your head instead of your ear canal. The only downside I’ve experienced with them is that they can only drown out so much noise, so if you’re planning on using them in a noisy environment, probably go with another choice.
Thankfully only one near me does this and I’ve never gone back once I saw they had these installed. This is really the only way we’re ever going to see these practices phased out. Corporations don’t take anything seriously until it affects the bottom line. Just look at climate change.
[Edited by the commenter to remove incorrect information, see below.] I’m not sure if anything else has come up since then though, and I’ve continued using DDG, just not for any sort of news or information on current events. I mainly use a search engine for dev stuff anyways.
Nice try, but you aren’t fooling me this time, feds!
Makes sense to me, just sounds like the crypto company is holding the state’s power grid hostage
The other article I linked here in the comments says they’ve heard rumors it was a DDoS attack. Nothing about potential links, but I have seen the PlayStation thing all over social media posts about it.
