nothing makes me go "ooooh we are NOT the same" quite like reading some post about how people talk with their parents about their interests. what do you mean you told your father about stevebucky. what do you mean he asked further questions

#i won a poetry contest years ago and not a single person in my family asked what it was about. you're an alien to me #not even saying this in a self pitying way i just can't conceive of a dynamic like that

btw! I was made aware that many people don't know that we're boycotting Eurovision this year, so.

we are boycotting Eurovision, as per BDS guidelines.

don't watch the stream, don't engage with the videos, don't post it about it on social media using hashtags that are going to trend. whatever you're getting from the show isn't worth it

Investigative Article: The Truth About False Positives on Breathalyzer Tests

Introduction

Imagine you're at a party, having a good time, when suddenly you realize you need to drive home. You wait a while, sober up as much as you can, and then decide to drive. On the way, you hear sirens and see flashing lights in your rearview mirror. The officer pulls you over, and before you know it, you're taking a breathalyzer test. The result comes back positive for alcohol, and you're arrested for DUI. But what if the breathalyzer was wrong? What if it gave a false positive? Could that happen to you? In this article, we'll take an investigative look at breathalyzer tests, false positives, and what you can do to contest them.

Calibration and Accuracy

Breathalyzers work by measuring the amount of alcohol in your breath. The machine has a sensor that reacts to the alcohol in your breath and produces a reading based on that reaction. But there are many things that can affect the accuracy of a breathalyzer, including the machine's calibration. Breathalyzers must be calibrated regularly to maintain their accuracy. If the calibration is off, it can produce false readings. Most states require law enforcement agencies to maintain the calibration of their breathalyzers, but mistakes can happen. If you suspect that the breathalyzer used on you was not calibrated correctly, you can contest the results in court.

Administration of the Test

Breathalyzers also require proper administration to produce accurate results. The officer administering the test must follow certain procedures to ensure that the test is conducted correctly. For example, the officer must observe you for at least 15 minutes before administering the test to ensure that you haven't had anything to eat, drink, or smoke that could affect the results. The officer must also make sure that the mouthpiece used is new and free from any contaminants that could affect the test results. If the officer did not follow proper procedures when administering the test, the results could be inaccurate. This is another potential avenue for contesting a false positive on a breathalyzer test.

Influencing Factors

Breathalyzer tests can be affected by a number of influencing factors, including diet and medical conditions. For example, certain diets, such as low-carb or high-protein diets, can produce ketones in the body, which the breathalyzer may mistake for alcohol. Similarly, medical conditions such as acid reflux or diabetes can affect breathalyzer results. If you have a medical condition or have been on a specific diet, you should inform the officer administering the test. If you were not given the opportunity to do so, or if the officer ignored your information, you may be able to contest the results in court.

Impairment to the Slightest Degree

As mentioned in the introduction, Arizona's DUI statutes extend beyond conventional BAC levels, encompassing what is known as "impairment to the slightest degree." This means that even if your BAC is below 0.08% or if there's a false positive, you can still face DUI charges if the officer believes your ability to drive was impaired in any way. While this may seem unfair, it underscores the importance of not driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol at any level. If you are pulled over and the officer suspects you are impaired, even if your BAC is below the legal limit, you could still be arrested for DUI.

Fighting a False Positive

If you have been charged with a DUI based on a false positive on a breathalyzer test, you should consult with an experienced DUI attorney. Your attorney can help you contest the results of the test based on calibration, administration, influencing factors, or other factors that could have affected the test results. It's important to act quickly, as there are deadlines for contesting a DUI charge in Arizona. Your attorney can advise you on the best course of action and work to minimize the impact of the charge on your life.

Conclusion

A false positive on a breathalyzer test can have serious consequences, including arrest and charges of DUI. However, as we've seen in this article, there are many factors that can affect the accuracy of a breathalyzer test. If you have been charged with a DUI based on a false positive, it's important to seek legal advice as soon as possible. Remember, the best way to avoid a false positive on a breathalyzer test is to not drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If you do find yourself in a situation where you need to drive, make sure to wait until you are sober before getting behind the wheel. False Positive Breathalyzer Test-False,Contesting

Keeper -- a short comic about an angel meeting a robotic lighthouse keeper that doesn't know the world has already ended. Made in about 18 hours for a 24-hour 24-page* black and white comic challenge (that I arrived late to, ha.)

*the actual submission does not include the cover, which was created after the fact for this post.

This was a really great learning experience as someone who's... never really made a completed comic. I ended up really attached to the story by the end of the project (possibly due to all-nighter deliriousness lol) and ultimately am very proud of what I made.There are some things I'd still like to change, particularly text placement, but in keeping with the spirit of the challenge I've elected to leave it as is.

#sparks art #comic #angel #robot #my art #my comics #keeper: the angel #keeper: the lighthouse keeper #my ocs #hoogh. this was a grind yall lmao. but i am pleased with it #i hope you enjoy :pray: also keep your fingers crossed for me that this wins the contest #like it. it wont. because i am up against actual SEQA kids that know what theyre doing. and i dont actually mind really #but it would be funny #long post #very long post #sorry #i hope the readmore works

apparently Israel is throwing a tantrum about not being allowed to submit a zionist anthem October Rain into the Eurovision Song Contest. They're threatening to withdraw because the EBU has told them the song is too political and that it would be disqualified.

You should still boycott Eurovision even if Israel withdraws! The EBU's refusal to take a stance against Israel on the grounds of the ongoing genocide is reason enough to boycott the contest.

I love how bad Astarion is with his cover story. You meet him and he's like "I'm a magistrate" then he stealths, disarms a trap, double dashes and backstabs a goblin all while giggling about spilling blood and you're just like hm yeah that's the legal system for you

#my fish out of water tav like #well I don't know enough about court proceedings to contest this so I guess #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #astarion #astarion ancunin

Prize winners

It had to have been neat. Win a recipe contest, so get drawn into the comic book, and have your recipes published at the end. I don't know if they had to drop last names as they at forty year olds not signed the release they did at ten. It figures that the boy's menu item has a gross factor, not really needing the explication. The girl's -- well, we go from having it all laid out for you at the end of the comic to -- "It's a secret".
