Root your phone and install AdAway which constantly updates a blacklist on your phone's host file so it blocks ALL ads, not just in browser but in nominally ad-supported apps as well, etc.

He'd already make two hauls down the mountain, but on the third one of the loaders accidentally dropped a lit cigarette in the load. It caught some dry brush in the back, which smoldered until about half way down when it really caught. He kept the truck at speed to try to keep the flames from reaching the cab, which is why he took that turn so fast, but he's an experienced driver, so he managed to hold the road. I couldn't find the article from the local paper online, but it said he got away with only some singed fur and a few blisters on one paw after he ditched the truck. Obviously, he's lucky to be alive, but he's apparently gonna start driving again as soon as the vet takes the bandages off.

We conceived a way to use my mother as a porn mule


The Government took management of our 'little side project' Gas Plant away from us today!

I knew poo poo was hitting the fan for a while from a friend who works there (and now today has lost his job - a job I got him). I feel loving bad and tomorrow I'm gonna go over his house with a carton of beers.

The CEO summonsed me to his office this afternoon at 4:30PM in a super serious way and everyone thought I was in the poo poo for something. So did I until he closed the door and gave me a chocolate bar (not making GBS threads you) and proceeded to tell me the nitty gritty of the matter.

Honestly that place was a loving pain to manage and not worth having. Somehow through it we (the parent company) are still going to make the profits, the governing body is taking over management and all our staff are retained by us as a labor contract.

The only one person that lost his job is my friend who is squeaky clean on OSHA.

I do feel a wave of OSHA reporting of a disgruntled ex-employee coming. Handy way for me to get him to report the lack of First Aid kits on our property though.

I'm not even sure that guy is actually in the shot, and wasn't just comped in. If it was comped, it was very well done, but the sail just sort of disappears at one point, and the obvious bust billows to hide the blend.

Yeah all the shelf items are duplicates of each other. Even the fans are cg. The guys have circular shadows and are washed out, and at the end one guy appears on top of the dust layer.

Tetrachromaticity means you can see more finer differences/gradations in colours. Like comparing an 8-bit and 16 bit image. That article reads like she's on some super acid all the time

This person is just has something going on with her brain.

In real life, a reasonable minority of people do have a fourth cone type - but it's either broken or it works identically to one of the other three. Like, there's a few 'red cone' variations around, but they all work the same.

All these stories about tetrachromacy seem to come from some stupid online test that made stuff up.

However, there ARE more than 3 types of cones that all mutually differ. Most people have just 3 out of this set, which means normal color vision. Having four of them at once is possible... but exceedingly rare, because first of all you need to have 4 of those genes, and then you need to be lucky to not have one of them taking precedence over another.

There are many examples of 'fake tetrachromats', people with 4 cone types of which one is broken, but only one person in the world has been confirmed by science to be an actual tetrachromat. Here's the story.

There are, however, a number of people who have experienced visual sensitivity to ultraviolet wavelengths following cataract surgery which removes the natural lens, and it apparently looks like a deep, saturated purple. Which is neat, but it's not a new color.

You could say that it's like violet, but enhanced in some fashion.
