What is it supposed to be?

I always thought they were ultra fine dust/fibres/particulate that stick to your eye and float around in the fluid?

Can’t tell if I’m missing a joke here, but see those two small knife looking protruding from the opposite side (above) where they’re measuring, those are used for measuring internal diameter.

The side they’re using is for outer diameter.

And though you can’t see it in the pic, the thin bit of metal that extends out from the bottom can be used for measuring depth.

Lmfao, this is a completely nondisruptive protest, it literally does nothing to stop people from getting to work.

In the UK, we’ve been having protests which actively disrupt traffic, which gets people going “why can’t they protest in ways that affect oil refineries/politicians etc” except people were doing that prior with no media coverage, and since having gained media coverage and then doing that, they get criticised for protests targeting politicians…

What this goes to show is that disruptive protesting will get media coverage, and that many people will pay lip service but will inherently lose their shit over people protesting if it even has the slightest chance of disrupting someone’s day.

I mean, you could quite possibly cycle… moreso if you opt to use an electric bike

Out of curiosity how big is your city/your normal commute?

I curious how much people dying of a broken heart plays into that?

My sister whose an MD said it was a known thing that when people get up there in age, it’s not uncommon for someone to pass relatively soon (taking like within 5 years) after their partner passes.

For some people it can be days/weeks if they’re not in good health, for others it can be years.

I think it’s a similar reason to why folks will often struggle with memory after their partner passes; in lifelong partnerships people build shared memories where one half will remember some details which the other half won’t and visa versa. That and the decline in socialisation, human interaction combined with the depression and isolation that follows the passing of a partner.

I’m curious as to whether people who lose their partners whilst still relatively young (40s) experience the same decline in life expectancy, and whether them having children correlates with higher life expectancy or not in those scenarios.
