I read those kind of injuries with stick blenders are pretty common. I always unplug since I learned that.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•There should be more negative awards. For example: the most pathetic nation or the most monstrous person of the year.
102·1 month agoYa there really isn’t enough negativity in the media these days.
I’ll be 44 years old and going back studying full time in February, definitely need a career change so I’m pretty excited about it to be honest!
Pretty sure played a fishing game called Dredge.
Fishing / cosmic horror, iirc.
You could lay traps and drag lines behind your boat as you progressed.
And discover the bizarre mystery of what happend to the last fisherman.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•These are lids from freshly open jars of home canned pickles. Is this mold I'm seeing?
301·3 months agoI wouldn’t throw the pickles out based on the lid rust alone.
In my opinion if the pickles themselves look smell and taste like you’d expect them they’re probably fine to eat. If they’re mouldy, mushy, smelly or show any other signs of spoilage then that’s another story.
Just my 2 cents, hate wasting good food!

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•I got out easy, I'm assumingEnglish
19·3 months agoI’m reluctant to share this as it’s going to be of no practical use to OP but I also fell off my bike and broke my collarbone, this was back in April.
My front tyre was under inflated and I took a downhill left hand corner on a bike path too quickly. The front wheel slid out and I hit the concrete hard on my left elbow. I rode home in a lot of pain, took a shower, decided it was serious and got a friend to drive me to the ER at the local hospital. I live in Melbourne, Australia.
It was around midday on a Wednesday and the ER was quiet, I saw the admissions nurse, and had to wait about an hour to get an X-ray and was given painkillers. I’d broken my clavicle in 2 places. I spoke to an orthopedic surgeon who said while the bone would eventually heal on its own he strongly recommend surgery as the outcome probabilities were greater and the recovery times were less that way. There was a chance I could be fit in the next day and I was admitted to a ward overnight.
They gave me some dinner but after that I wasn’t allowed any food in case the surgery was going ahead. The next day I had a couple visitors and at 3pm I was confirmed for surgery just before 5pm. I was given a general anesthetic and woke up in a recovery ward. I stayed overnight and ate some sandwiches.
The next day I was told I could go home in the afternoon and my brother came and picked me up.
I wasn’t allowed to lift anything heavier than a cup of tea for 4 weeks then had appointments with a physiotherapist every few weeks for 3 months or so. I’ve gone got a brand new scar and a piece of aluminum screwed into my left collarbone. It looks a bit funny.
The whole experience was pretty shit. I was in-between jobs at the time and it was about 4 months before I was able to get working again. I’m a chef. I lived off savings.
The medical care side of things tho just wasn’t an issue. When I left the hospital I paid about $30 for some paracetamol and a small amount of oxycodone for the pain.
Like I said I know this story won’t help, and I’m sorry you’re going through a tough time, but as a fellow bike crash collarbone breaker I thought I’d share.
I’m at a bar and can’t watch a video, saving this bad boy for later!

He shall kill one of the birds over fresh water in a clay pot. Then he is to take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet yarn and the live bird, dip them into the blood of the dead bird and the fresh water, and sprinkle the house seven times. He shall purify the house with the bird’s blood, the fresh water, the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop and the scarlet yarn. Then he is to release the live bird in the open fields outside the town. In this way he will make atonement for the house, and it will be clean.”

Games@lemmy.world•CrankBoy - the original Game Boy game emulator for the Playdate console (my article)English
27·5 months agoFor anyone else whose never heard of a playdate console before it appears the crank on the side is “used for gameplay in select titles” rather than, as I hoped, a way to power the device like those old timey radios.
Still looks great, good article and more power too them! (Tho not via crank)

Games@lemmy.world•Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?English
2·5 months agoDarkest Dungeon 2. Really like the dark and sinister style. Narrator has a great voice and the creatures look fantastic.
Gameplay is definitely on the challenging side but I’m enjoying it.
That website had a crazy amount of publicity lately here in Melbourne because it was involved in a triple homicide case!
A lady was found guilty of murdering some family members of her ex-husband at a lunch by serving poisonous mushrooms she located using iNaturalist. Cooked into a Beef Wellington, of all things.
The trial was something of a sensation, seemed like it was all anyone talked about for the couple months it was going on.
The guilty last, Erin Patterson, is currently awaiting sentencing.





I’m pretty sure the scenes from the show rather than the movie.
