FreudianSlippers posted:My wife and I once rode some sort of tram from central Edinburgh to some suburb and back just because we wanted to try it out. It’s weird that no one blinks twice if you take your bike/motorcycle/car out for a drive for fun, but if you ride a train it’s considered neurodivergent. It’s the same thing, only you can spend even more time looking at passing scenery because you’re not steering!

HelloIAmYourHeart posted:If you read the story, multiple family members did! Other people noticed, too. She ran into her (light haired) brother while with a PBS executive, and the PBS exec later contacted her brother to ask if they were full blood siblings. And then her lawyers sent a threatening note to her brother about it, so the family decided not to make any noise about it so she wouldn't sue them. And back in the 1960s her uncle wrote a letter trying to set the record straight that was published in a local paper, but never got picked up or noticed as she became more popular nationally.

Air Skwirl posted:Investing in NFTs is so loving dumb I don't feel that bad about them losing money on that, but there should be a reasonable expectation that you can go to a concert and not get blinded I would guess that the organizers would absolutely be liable for damages to anyone who got burned by the lights, the problem is that you have to extract it from them and that is a difficult and expensive process on its own.

That is Ocean Ramsey, a marine conservationist whose entire thing is posting videos of her in close proximity to sharks, so faking it would be a weird choice. It's not what it seems in that she was aware of the shark and preparing to jump in anyway, but is backing off because the shark was overly excited by her movements. Here's an interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlzLB1XnfeY

We had a tortoise for almost 30 years, he smelled fine. I think only certain kinds pee aggressively, he never peed when we picked him up. We eventually arranged to have him released in a sanctuary. He was a leopard tortoise. My grand mother bought a parrot (African grey) when she was in her 50s, it lived with her until she died in her 90s and my uncle inherited it for another 10 years or so. He would call out for her sometimes and I often wondered if he was sad she wasn’t around, or just trying prompts for food.

I just assumed the drunk guy kept slamming shots of salt until he had downed enough to cause serious damage. Hihohe posted:I know i did I love turkey, but the idea that you should cook a full 0lbs of bird once a year is terrible. It's way too much for a regular gathering to eat, and no one gets enough practice to make it come out well (or at all, see all the failures here).

The General posted:Ehh, I'm not sure giving teenagers a free pass to rip people off is a good idea. Takes No Damage posted:Isn't part of the reason they do that because they're never worn, and if they were and the rubber/plastic was flexed around a little they would actually last longer? Lots of these materials are basically new so we just didn't understand how they would age until it started to happen.

Hyperlynx posted:I used to take a hard line about not pirating stuff. Folks make a living off it, right? One of the things that really came to light with the strikes last year was how little the people who actually make stuff get paid for it on residuals over time. Like it's one thing to pirate an indie video game or something where most of the money is going directly to the studio and it's workers (minus the cut from steam or whatever), it's another if you're talking about trying to watch episodes of Deep Space 9 or some other old show - none of the people that actually did the labor to make that are getting paid, it's all going to the studio as gravy.

pixaal posted:Someone is filming, he's doing this intentionally possibly making fun of someone they recently arrested who tried to escape from them or did so using the slide. I have no idea if he went down the slide to make fun of someone (I've never heard that suggested before) but I don't think he intended to get a head injury. So even if he did it to mock someone, getting wrecked and having to get the EMTs to treat your concussion (and then being mercilessly mocked for it by everyone) is its own kind of schadenfreude.

The Killer Dynamo posted:I do this! I love horror aesthetic and find the stories intriguing and interesting, but am both a huge weenie and I can't stomach gore. Reading a clinical, matter-of-fact description of the plot of Midsommar lets me enjoy it without The Ick. Often I see a preview for a movie that looks somewhat interesting but I 100% know that I am never going to make the effort to see, so I just look it up and read a synopsis so my brain can file away 'that's what the monster/murderer is'. I also don't particularly like gore or jump-scare stuff so I'm even less motivated to see those films, but get vaguely curious about them. My mom reads the last few pages of a book before starting it so she can confirm that it's not going to end in a way she doesn't like before she gets invested, so clearly I come from a cursed bloodline.

Elias_Maluco posted:I thought snow was soft (never seen it in my life) As someone who didn't see snow until their 20s, it comes in a surprising variety. It can behave very differently depending on how clumpy or wet it is. The ideal skiing snow is powdery, which means that it is fresh fallen and cold enough that it isn't sticking together wetly. It's fine to fall in, and if it's deep you can basically vanish into a big puff of it and come out fine. But, as snow sits it will settle and compact, and even if it stays cold it will melt in sunlight and then refreeze. If there is any warmth or rain this accelerates, and you can end up with very heavy slushy snow that is a lot less fun. You can also get areas that have melted a little and then frozen into patches or even a sheet of ice, which is very hard and unwelcoming. Most skiing locations will try to 'groom' the slopes, in that clip you can see the lines of the slope where they've basically done some landscaping to improve it. But on big mountains they might not have done this everywhere, and the edges of the run don't get the same treatment, so if you are a bad skier you can barrel off the side of the groomed area and fall into ice. In addition, even if the snow is ok you can injure yourself by running into trees, rocks hidden in the snow, and other people. You can also just hurt yourself by pulling something as you fall, especially between the poles and skis. When I was first skiing I didn't understand how to stop properly and ended up wrenching my knee because I jammed my ski the wrong way at speed.

haveblue posted:Not great, but also not at the end of 36 hours of continuous serving I don't think that's how that works, you switch off serves at odd games so after she flattens you in the 1st game, you get to serve. Which will be worse, because I'm going to assume the average goon is going to fault and let a bunch while she rests and then barely taps it back. I'm sure eventually she would make a mistake, so you could still succeed as long as it's not limited to a real match format.

My Grandmother is still alive (she is 95) and not only has she never used a computer or the internet, she doesn’t have a mobile phone. I have to call her landline and hope she has her hearing aid on to pick it up. Fortunately she has family that check on her and very attentive neighbors.

BlankSystemDaemon posted:Look, it sounded better without you pointing out the major flaw. A huge chunk of DNA is just basic stuff that almost all life uses in common like cell processes and replication. DNA is also sort of accretion over time, so a species will still carry some from its ancestors even if it’s not used or expressed anymore. So the percentage isn’t very intuitive!

derp posted:rent is bullshit not because its too drat high (it is) but because it keeps going up. bro my pay doesnt go up 10% per year wtf am i supposed to do here, just move to progressively lovely places every few years? Unless you work in an industry where you can regularly switch jobs for a raise, yes. Renting is just moving to a different shittier housing every 1-2 years unless you get lucky and find a landlord that doesn’t raise rent methodically

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Yeah it was being cautious. I'm guessing that tourists had been offering food and it thought she was doing the same, it tried to grab the food and whoops all fingers I bet it was this, the fact that it approached and the way the nip was so gentle. Tourists here have made a habit of feeding squirrels and if you chill in the common they’ll sidle up and try their luck. If you hold out your hand without food you might get nipped as they check you aren’t pizza.
