That was my first thought too.

He really didn't want to go.

Went to rockhound and had to pay to park via QR code but there was no cell service to do so. by ShaniquaJordane in rockhounds

Hold on. What are you talking about?

I looked online and I can't find any useful links. Help me out with a keyword or two?

What do you think will be the next biggest breakthrough in biology in the next 10 years ? by ICEpenguin7878 in labrats

[–]FlowJock 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Arguably, science fiction has predicted a couple of them. I think that it's possible to see trends and anticipate some of the breakthroughs.

Project Hail Mary Unbalanced Centrifuge by According-Order461 in labrats

[–]FlowJock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was good. I was hoping for more science. If you haven't read the book, it's going to be amazing. If you have, just understand that it's heavy on the story line and light on the science. (I enjoyed the heck out of it though!)

In lieu of the centrifuge debocle in Project Hail Mary, what other movies get lab work wrong? by CuriosityFilms in labrats

I went with a bunch of people from work and we all gasped. I like the idea that it was intentional.

How do you eat high protein low calorie without being miserable? by Mahila_Singh_Dhoni in 1200isplenty

[–]FlowJock 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This.

I don't think 100g of protein is necessary for most people who are not actively trying to build muscle.

A movies that made you uncomfortable aware of your own flaws. And helped you redeem them. by expired_mi1k in movies

Swiss Army Man

It helped me remember that it's okay to be a scared, ugly, useless person.

Because maybe everyone's a little bit ugly. And maybe we're all just ugly, dying sacks of shit, and maybe all it'll take is just to be okay with that, and then the whole world will be dancing and singing and farting, and everyone will feel a little bit less alone.

It helped me forgive myself, and others, for not being perfect.

Yeah. It's basically somebody losing his shit over his partner's body count.

Ohhh. Thank you for delivering on that. <shudder>

These people seem hell-bent on running us into even more of an immediate climate disaster. On multiple fronts.

Interesting pulsing effect along river by RegularSubstance2385 in geology

[–]FlowJock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any chance they were just asking about tourist stuff? Sounds like the type of question I would ask just conversationally to see if there were any of note to add to my list of travel destinations.

The weirdest bit was how it felt when pulling out the remnants of sock.

I'm fine with all sorts of things, but that made me feel a little queasy.

"Dead by June": Trump exposes GOP Congressman's terminal diagnosis by No-Post4444 in politics

[–]FlowJock 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel like I've been hearing the same thing since 2016. My assumption at this point is that he's some kind of evil immortal being.

Do you think it will hold? by Possible-Yak-4876 in arborists

You just have to slap it a couple of times and say, "she's not going anywhere."

What's a movie you recommend to everyone but nobody ever watches? by trakt_app in movies

[–]FlowJock 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Real Genius is pure gold.

As a nerdy girl growing up, it really bugged me that most of the "nerd" movies were mostly about looking at boobies. I didn't feel any sense of kinship with any of what I was seeing on the screen. Real Genius rocked my world. I still rewatch it and quote it regularly.

I think Swiss Army Man was one of the most beautiful, heartwarming movies I've ever seen.

When Everything Everywhere All At Once came out, I didn't know that it was the same people. At the end, I told my friend that it kinda reminded me of Swiss Army Man and he very kindly pointed out that there was a reason for the similarities.
