I had to remove a few pacemaker batteries when I worked at a crematory. We threw them in bin in the processing room and until they ran out of juice, they’d beep like crazy periodically. They’re made like that so that while the person is alive, they’ll know when it’s disconnected.
It was drilled into our heads that the crematory retort would be RUINED if one of those things went in with the person.
edit: typo and more context.
It’s soldered on, or I’d do that myself. Just wading through driver hell right now trying to make it work.
Tell that to the wireless card on the laptop I just bought 😔

So are we blasting now because slamming didn’t work?
Thanks!
I used to get irritated at the “It’s just as simple as ci;co” attitude on r/loseit. For a different reason though.
It’s more than calories in, calories out. It’s shopping, and prepping, and cooking, and cleaning, and more prepping, and dishes, and…
And having the spoons to do all of that consistently. 😮💨
I was one of those people who knew my lifestyle was unhealthy, and turning it around was always just one week away. The diagnosis of type II felt like a loss of agency. Like it was no longer my choice to cut back on, or to cut out sugar.
Once the initial shock of diagnosis and grief over all the foods I’d lost settled down, the truth was clear. I had made the choice. The choice to open every single one of those sodas, the choice to go with convenience over health. The choice to kick the can down the road, and I still had the choice to diet, or die slowly.
Not gonna lie and say my diet is perfect now but, according to my NP, my labs paint the picture of someone successfully managing diabetes. I know I still have some work to do though.

Definitely going to try this. I’ll have to adjust the amount of bananas and use a different sweetener because diabetes, but this sounds like an amazing alternative to the powdered bullshit. Thanks!
There was a fish IN the percolator!
Can you link to some good meme accounts on mastodon?
“Does anyone have any questions?”
Also, if you find that it’s not working suddenly one day, it probably just needs to be updated.

PipePipe is kind of like an RSS reader for YouTube. It’s not going to give you algorithmic suggestions based on your viewing activity, but it will let you follow channels, and it doesn’t show the ads.
I’m not on either of those platforms, but I am doing it pretty much everywhere I possibly can.
Can’t disagree there. The Leopards Just Ate MY Face?! would be a very entertaining show.
Making the assumption that you are getting your news somewhere else, not just burying your head in the sand, what are some sources that you, or anyone else who takes this approach, using to stay informed?
Whether or not they have a pacemaker is something we would usually find out by asking the family, nurses present at removal, etc. If none of those people knew, it’s usually pretty obvious. The battery sits on the chest just under the skin and it’s hard to miss. Just two or three incisions is all it takes to remove. It’s easy to get shocked disconnecting the wires if you aren’t careful though.
Cremation is quite permanent and mistakes can’t be resolved easily, or cheaply, so cremation cases are inspected VERY thoroughly before going into the retort.
