Ya STARS is one of those things most people don't pay much attention to until it's needed, but they are a really nice thing to have especially considering how large our country is.

My trip with them was about 80 miles to Winnipeg, and took about 18 minutes from the time they stuffed me in the back to the time they put me into the ambulance at the airport. I can't imagine how long that would have taken by ground.

Honestly I don't think I needed to get there that fast, but they were worried because I had head trauma and had lost a lot of blood so they erred on the side of caution, which was understandable.

https://www.stars.ca/ is their website if anyone is wondering what STARS is.)

here in Canada I had an accident once. Was loaded onto a STARS helicopter, flown 80 miles to the nearest city, unloaded into an ambulance for the rest of the trip to the hospital, x-rayed, stitches, and two surgeries.

Only thing I paid for was a dollar for some really bad coffee from the hospital canteen.

Most of them are not in Russia, It would be much easier to find and block them if they were all coming from the same country. Instead, they're scattered all over the place to blend in, and to take advantage of cheap labor.

Totally not bad actors reading a scripted piece of propaganda. /s It could use some cowbell though.

I get like that too sometimes.. you get really excited and amped up over something, but then afterwards you just feel drained and dead tired.

This whole thing reminds me of the guy (Angled/LMAO) 3 years ago that was all butthurt after he got busted trying to take all the good sublemmy names, and responded by posting a bunch of disgusting stuff with alts and DOSing lemmy.world.

I doubt he's gone, just hiding under an alt.

I was tempted to, but I was concerned people would think I'm a chemo patient so I left them alone.

I'm intentionally broke. Can't have nice stuff stolen from me if I can't afford nice stuff to begin with. (taps head)

I think it was several things, but the reason she gave me was that I looked too young. ( I was in my mid-40's and only a few years younger than her.)

I suspect that her bi-polar issues played into that though as well. She was a very difficult person to keep happy.

I asked my ex gf once if I should shave, her reply was that it didn't matter to her.

Several weeks later while I was shaving my beard, I had one of those sporadic moments where I thought to myself...why not? So I kept shaving. Shaved my head, chest etc, everything. By the time I was done I was more aerodynamic than a fighter jet.

My gf refused to talk to me after that for two weeks.

 

I wonder if JB Weld can fix this. I guess only one way to find out.

 

They're from the phones you see in old movies that you had to crank to talk to an operator, commonly used up until the 1950's. I put my multimeter on one and it's still reading 1.3 volts. The owner told me I can take the whole lot of them if I want them which I'm tempted to do just because I like to collect old junk but I probably drag enough useless crap home as it is.

 

I tried looking around a little and it sounds really scammy to me. All the contact info and domain registrars is listed "redacted for privacy." Personally the whole thing seems to smell funny to me but I could be wrong. Anyone used or heard of this site before? I just want to make sure my daughter isn't going to get screwed over

In the background of the one pic you can see one of the abandoned schoolhouses in the distance.

 

I didn't get a closer pic of this one sadly because a)Bees and b) I got distracted by the old Fargo that's directly behind me in this pic.

I've always wondered how many people fell for that.

 

Well that was unexpected. Rip Matthew
