I’ve no significant opinion of India beyond anti-Modi, and that’s a product of John Oliver. Most of my engineering team are Indian and some I like, some I tolerate. And a fear of Indian traffic by reputation alone.

But you could swap “American” with “Indian” in that first paragraph, change nothing else, and it be largely (if not entirely) accurate.

My grandmother was the county coroner for a while. She was a pharmacist professionally. In those places, it’s more “give it a quick kick and say they’re dead” (she never did that) more than anything else. She only declared death, not attribute cause to my knowledge.

The other part of it is that, for whatever reason, in my county the only higher arresting authority than the sheriff was the coroner. It was her job to serve him with papers when he was being sued and, not that it ever came up, arrest him when it needed done.

Weird system.

The ones near me don’t, but it’s still there. Just push buttons till it’s quiet. For mine, it’s the fourth button.

That’s cool. You can really see it with Righty’s left foot.

Checks which community I’m in. Yeah that checks out.

Yeah, without that edit, I was immediately in “burn the bootlicker” mode. You make a valid consideration.

It intimidates by extending its eyebrows?! That’s magnificent. I am suitably intimidated, my adorable little friend.

She looks like either she’s done with pictures for today or that there’s a small mammal off screen whose minutes are numbered. I love her.

Oh yeah. The joke works way better this way.

Anyone else lightly bothered that they could’ve played the M two up and two right to get both ‘whom’ and ‘om’?

Some people want to see the world burn and they only thing they have is a downvote. Keep doing what you’re doing because this is great.

I want to vote for both, but that kinda defeats the purpose so the elf owl gets a comment instead.

She’s so tiny, and absolutely aware of how photogenic she is!

For fresh babies yeah. But what about all the other kids that need care. Who come from homes where they weren’t wanted and blamed for ruining their parents lives (falsity of the statement notwithstanding) and now are in foster care past their best by date and have scars from the home that was forced to have them. You helping to take care of them?

Personally identifying information.

For people at large, nothing. I’m a data engineer. Eyes immediately gloss over when I tell them. I do have a tool that is a one stop shop potential violation of PII rules.
