Any idea what companies pay to install their 5G towers on your building? I'm sure it varies, just wondering what the range might be like.

dirby posted:Do you mean like "(I'm) Sorry, but you're wrong about the spelling of 'faze'." or "I'm sorry, but I had a really good reason to borrow your car without permission"? But I think op means the general term. Like, you commonly hear "no disrespect, but _____" and you know some disrespect is coming. "I'm not racist, but" and you're about to hear some racist-rear end poo poo Crocodile tears isn't quite right but it's close

Is "making GBS threads/pissing your pants in fear" really a thing or just a turn of phrase? I've been in a major car accident before but my reaction was to clench everything.

He decided to break me of that habit by calling me Captain Spasmo for the rest of the summer. It was actually pretty funny except it made everything worse.

Can very spicy food, like those engineered chilli peppers with fancy names, hurt you? Like, produce damage to the cells in your mouth or stomach? Or is extreme spiciness a sensation that is unpleasant but harmless?McCracAttack posted:Is "making GBS threads/pissing your pants in fear" really a thing or just a turn of phrase? I've been in a major car accident before but my reaction was to clench everything. A friend of mine pissed his pants when he was attacked by some dudes in a club. He had prior trauma because as a teen he was sucker punched in a crowd and the punch broke his facial bones.

Not sure if you can get enough from eating chillies to reach that level, but some of the engineered ones have insane levels of it so maybe?

The levels of capsaicin that can cause actual harm will probably make you throw up before you reach them. Spicy food can make some digestive issues worse but it doesn't cause them in the first place. You can call pretty much any actual food with a lot of spice in it perfectly safe to eat, assuming the other ingredients are all good.

I don't know anything about music theory, is it possible the beginning of the song "Way Back Then" from Squid Games was influenced by the deku palace theme from Zelda? Here's the the Deku palace theme: https://youtu.be/s1HmMKTFtgY And here's the squid games song: https://youtu.be/81hTGbPIXx4

Pepper Spray is made with ([i]very concentrated[/i)] capsacin and can injure humans to a big enough degree that it's considered an illegal weapon in some locations. wikipedia posted:It inflames the mucous membranes in the eyes, nose, throat and lungs.[9] It causes immediate closing of the eyes, difficulty breathing, runny nose, and coughing.[10] The duration of its effects depends on the strength of the spray; the average full effect lasts from 20 to 90 minutes, but eye irritation and redness can last for up to 24 hours.[11] The deaths are all related to difficulty breathing though afaict, so assuming a pig doesn't kneel on your neck while you're coughing your guts out (and you don't have asthma or something) you'll survive and have no permanent damage. You could probably get a similar effect from one of the latest meme peppers since people are always trying to breed them for more capsacin, especially if you touch your face/eyes while eating. So yes to having a very unpleasant 24 hours but probably no to any permanent damage to your stomach. RPATDO_LAMD fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Aug 20, 2022 |

There was a reddit thread from a few years ago where a guy said a cell company wanted to put a cell tower on his property in a semi-rural area and I think the payment was a lease for few thousand per month, somewhere like $3-4k. I would imagine anything in a suburb or dense urban area would be a multiple of that.

I was shocked at how little billboard companies pay to stick a big rear end stand and sign on your roof or the side of your building, just a few thousand a year in not the best parts of Oakland CA.

I imagine the equipment costs for a cell tower are relatively fixed (and sizable) so it’s worth the cell company paying for the best possible location if it gives them better area coverage.

Koji Kondo didn't invent or popularise martial drumming, no. You could just as easily claim it was inspired by the JAG theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQ-eOFLoDiU It's just an existing trope that they're all influenced by.

Yeah makes sense. It goes to show just how much these companies are making despite such capital costs.

Q1: Why am I seeing this picture everywhere? Q2: I am looking for a tablet but I don't see a tablet thread anywhere. I'm looking to just get something with a large screen that I will use almost exclusively for reading books and looking at archive.org. Is there a particular tablet or brand of tablet I should be looking into or avoiding? Looking at tablets on sites like Newegg and Amazon, they all kind of seem largely the same to me at this point, just with wildly different prices based on technical things I don't really know much about and maybe don't even apply to my needs in any way.

"Drunk dude at a bar/concert talking way too close to a woman that clearly isn't interested" has been an entire genre of memes.  So seeing a pic where the dude is the uncomfortable one is a funny reversal.

Baron Porkface posted:Lions regularly successfully hunt zebra. Wouldn't that means that the dazzle of zebra stripes sucks and doesn't work and would not have been evolved? The primary purpose of the pattern is to confuse horseflies. Lions probably don't even have the visual acuity to see the stripes from far away. It's easy to forget apes, including humans, have excellent visual acuity, only bested by birds. Cats may see better in low light, but their visual acuity would classify a human legally blind.
