Certainly looks like the Wasatch or maybe Oquirrh mountains. Kinda seems like it's somewhere near Park City, which is just such a beautiful area my god.

Ahhh, hell yeah time to dig for a SDS!

looks like it's the monomer of plexiglass with hydroquinone to prevent premature polymerization and N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine which is like, an adhesive or something? The latter is probably the issue.

Yeah, seems like people working in medicine have a rough time of it. My sister works in a cath lab and I worry about her exposure levels sometimes. I know she wears a dosimeter but like, man, it's a lot of X-rays.

Huh, TIL about bone cement. I was curious so I looked it up, and for those who are also curious, it appears to typically be a mix of PMMA (i.e. plexiglass) and its monomer MMA (although some radically different materials have been developed). You mix the goo and it turns to dough and then eventually hardens into, well, plexiglass. The SDS for MMA doesn't seem that bad, so there must be more to it than just that.

Thanks for sharing this! I never knew plexiglass was biocompatible-ish and was used in this way.

I think shit went down with h3h3 around that same time. I gave up on them after they started making irritating anti-feminist content. I've avoided them like the plague, but I think they had uh, a definite shift rightwards.

edit: all of the above is rampant speculation btw. Like I said, I've avoided them like the plague since then.

Same, I'm pretty bitter about him. Like, I figured we'd have different political views but he didn't seem like a nutter beyond him being completely off his fucking rocker. He had interesting videos, he was quotable as hell, and some of his stuff was quite informative.

I'm quite sad that things turned out the way they did. I can't watch his stuff anymore because I don't want to get flashbanged by crazy.

ngl, I'd think that someone with the word "water" tattooed on them in a sharpie style like that is cool. It just has a vibe I like.

My pain tolerance for shitty input methods has been permanently warped after experiencing psychic damage from using Teamviewer to connect to a system over a very flaky HughesNet satellite link. I was working for a vendor that supplied a hardware networking box to a stupid retail company that sells food and shit. I just wanted to ssh to our boxen on a specific network so I could troubleshoot something, but the only way I could get to it was via putty installed on an ancient Windows XP desktop on the same network as our box that could only be accessed with Teamviewer. My favorite part of that was that the locale or something was fucked up, so my qwerty keyboard inputs were, like, fucking transformed into azerty somehow?? The Windows desktop was locked down and monitored to a tremendous degree, so I couldn't change anything. The resolution was terrible, the latency was over a second, and half of my keyboard inputs turned into gibberish on the other side.

Oh, and I was onsite at that same company's HQ doing a sales engineering call while I was trying to figure out what was wrong. I spent 5 days sitting in spare offices with shitty chairs, away from my family, living that fucking nightmare before I finally figured out what was wrong. God damn, what a fucking mess that was. For anyone reading this, NEVER WORK FOR GROCERY/DRUG STORE IT. They are worse than fucking banks in some ways. Fuck.

EDIT: also, I asked 'why Teamviewer' and the answer was always shrugs. This was before the big TeamViewer security incidents, so maybe they thought it was more secure? Like, at least they didn't expose RDP on the internet...

Having been in this situation (the only binary I could use was bash, although cd was a bash builtin for me), echo * is your friend. Even better is something like this:

get_path_type() {
    local item
    item="$1"
    [[ -z "$item" ]] && { echo 'wrong arg count passed to get_path_type'; return 1; }
    if [[ -d "$item" ]]; then
        echo 'dir'
    elif [[ -f "$item" ]]; then
        echo 'file'
    elif [[ -h "$item" ]]; then
        echo 'link'  # not accurate, but symlink is too long
    else
        echo '????'
    fi
}

print_path_listing() {
    local path path_type
    path="$1"
    [[ -z "$path" ]] && { echo 'wrong arg count passed to print_path_listing'; return 1; }
    path_type="$(get_path_type "$path")"
    printf '%s\t%s\n' "$path_type" "$path"
}

ls() {
    local path paths item symlink_regex
    paths=("$@")
    if ((${#paths[@]} == 0)); then
        paths=("$(pwd)")
    fi
    shopt -s dotglob
    for path in "${paths[@]}"; do
        if [[ -d "$path" ]]; then
            printf '%s\n' "$path"
            for item in "$path"/*; do
                print_path_listing "$item"
            done
        elif [[ -e "$path" ]]; then
            print_path_listing "$path"
        printf '\n'
        fi
    done
}

This is recreated from memory and will likely have several nasty bugs. I also wrote it and quickly tested it entirely on my phone which was a bit painful. It should be pure bash, so it'll work in this type of situation.

EDIT: I'm bored and sleep deprived and wanted to do something, hence this nonsense. I've taken the joke entirely too seriously.
