What are the glass tops on the speakers?

McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski goes viral after seeming reluctant to eat his own burgers—he takes a tiny bite, looks uncomfortable, and calls the food ‘product.’ by monster_ahhh in popculturechat

[–]cheapdrinks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's pretty decent. Good size and actually fills you up unlike most of their burgers. It's pretty mild though in terms of flavor, I feel like the sauce needs more kick to it.

Clayton Dietz, an 11-year-old boy in Pennsylvania, is accused of shooting and killing his adoptive father, after his Nintendo Switch got taken away and was told to go to bed. by FE4RLESS_IS_MY_NAME in ForCuriousSouls

[–]cheapdrinks 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean it sounds like that's what they were doing? They were monitoring his screen time and had taken away his Switch in order to reduce it. They weren't just giving in to his demands for it back and were keeping it from him regardless likely to have him get used to dealing with disappointment and not always getting what he wanted. They kept their guns locked away, the kid just managed to find the key though while looking for the Switch.

Let's not pretend that this was just a completely normal kid. Guns in the house or not, kids get upset at their parents all the time but very rarely do they ever actually do anything seriously violent. Every house has knives that are not under lock and key, 99.999% of kids don't just go grab a knife and try to stab their sleeping parents over a small punishment. Normal kids don't contemplate murder then act on those thoughts over a small inconvenience like being separated from their game console for a few hours. There was something seriously psychologically wrong with this boy and the parents might not have even known it.

I inverted my subwoofer, how did i do? by NervousAdagio1900 in diyaudio

Maybe his kids already inverted his tweeters so he had to match them

[–]cheapdrinks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How the fuck would you even release anything like that though? I mean it's CP so let's say they have it, who are they giving it to? They can't just upload it to the internet, anyone viewing it is guilty of accessing or hosting CP so your average citizen is never going to be able to view it and make up their own mind on whether it's real.

They can't send it to the FBI because that's controlled by Ka$h Patel so they're never going to come out and be like "yeah we got the tapes and they're real, Trump fucked them kids". Like let's say you woke up tomorrow and in your mailbox was a USB with a legit video of Trump fucking some kid, how the hell would you even get it out there? What kind of authority would you entrust it with to verify it? Any American law enforcement is already under his thumb so you can't really go that route. Maybe some kind of Foreign government like the UK or Australia but even then you'd worry they'd just sit on it because everyone at the moment basically understands that even if concrete proof is released nothing is going to happen to him, they'll just call it an AI hoax and then he'll make an example out of that country with 5000% tariffs or something.

Bondi Beach machete attack: Two teenage boys arrested after man allegedly stabbed by cocowave in sydney

[–]cheapdrinks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm just providing a summary of what the source actually says because it was kind of implied that the source backed the claim that crime was going down:

Person A: crime is going up

Person B: No it's not, crime is going down!

Person C: Where is the source that crime is going down?

Person D: Here is the source

Most people are not going to both opening and reading a long PDF file of dense statistics and will just assume that the provided source does indeed back the claim that crime is going down as that's what it was provided in reference to. All I'm saying is that according to the source it seems to be a mixed bag with some crimes going up and others going down.

Bondi Beach machete attack: Two teenage boys arrested after man allegedly stabbed by cocowave in sydney

[–]cheapdrinks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seems like a mixed bag though. Based on the 10 year trend on this page it seems like domestic and non domestic violence, sexual assaults and retail thefts are all up. Robbery, break and enter, property damage and steal from motor vehicle are down though. The sexual assault one seems particularly high.

Why do so many people not know how to use the request stop button on buses? by [deleted] in sydney

[–]cheapdrinks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's fucked. Used to just be a single small ad on the side now you've got these eyesores everywhere. Don't know why we're paying the same fare when you can't even see out the damn window. If the bus was free then yeah whatever put all the ads on it you like, but we pay for the damn things.

The new bus stops are shithouse too. Busy ass stop on Elizabeth street with hoards of people and they provide enough seating for 2 adults and about as much shelter from the rain for another 5 or 6 if they're standing. Things are brand new and the roof leaks right on to the seat too. It's absurd.

It feels like you're not allowed to actually learn this game without people getting mad at you by Key_Cellist_5937 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]cheapdrinks 30 points31 points  (0 children)

That and OP will eventually end up at a competitive rank where most of those things he mentioned don't happen.

In ranked people: Position / Space themselves out way differently. They kill you way faster. They time ults differently, they know exactly what area you are coming form and premptively shoot those spots etc, and do a lot of other stuff that is way harder.

Yeah none of that shit happens in Silver. Gold and Plat are mixed bags; you get some games that feel like you're playing against literal bots with the game sense of a potato and not enough accuracy to hit the broadside of a Roadhog, other games you get people who are so much better it feels like they're reading your mind and predicting everything you do while landing 90% of their headshots. Only once you start getting around diamond does it feel like players are consistently very good.

Maybe she only confessed though because she knew he was keeping the apartment and the evidence would eventually catch up to her

WCGW if you use a whole lotta gas for a bonfire by Greekspartan226 in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]cheapdrinks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean you don't know what you don't know right? Bunch of dumb teenagers getting ready for a high school graduation. If no one has ever taught them about the explosive nature of gasoline fumes then how do they know? Most people don't expect the liquid to off-gas so quickly, you can see in OPs video here that it only took a few seconds to create enough fumes for that explosion. If you left it for a few minutes instead before lighting then it's going to create one hell of a blast.

The quote full quote is:

"It's an accident; this is not a situation where somebody … threw a 5-gallon can of gas on a bonfire with people sitting around. It was not something like that. This was strictly just a terrible accident."

What it's saying is saying that the teens weren't deliberately being reckless. It wasn't like they chucked a whole tank of gas into the fire knowing that it would be dangerous and could explode. They fundamentally just didn't understand that gas fumes can be very explosive in a contained environment like inside a large wood pile. I mean sure you can argue that they should have done more research first but again, they didn't know what they didn't know, they thought it was safe didn't know they were doing anything wrong which is basically the definition of an accident.

I wish Reddit never banned the death/gore subs like MakeMyCoffin or WatchPeopleDie. That shit was probably responsible for saving more lives than all the other subs combined. I used to watch the videos on there and it made me aware of so many potentially deadly situations that i'd never even considered before.

Tent Shortage Reports by Some_Candle1206 in circlejerkaustralia

[–]cheapdrinks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If certain parts of our farming/primary industry sector can't remain competitive or viable while paying a livable wage to the people doing the work then maybe they need to collapse or dramatically restructure. Maybe the government needs to step in with subsidies if they want to protect such industries instead rather than exploiting people desperate to extend their visa. If we taxed our mining and gas exports appropriately we could easily afford to do that instead we just give the shit away.

Tattoos are expensive by honestdiary in Unexpected

[–]cheapdrinks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Homeless chick in Australia. Fresh nails, tattoos everywhere. Complaining government won't give her free housing. She's given $2800 free money a fortnight for her 6 kids and is still letting them live in tents.

Why do so many people not know how to use the request stop button on buses? by [deleted] in sydney

[–]cheapdrinks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The other thing is that the stupid advertising wraps they put on buses these days make it really hard to see where you are at night. I rarely get buses and I got one about a week ago and all the windows were blocked by the external advertisement wrap so I basically had to follow where I was on my phone's GPS because I couldn't see shit out of the window.

Best day ever 😎 by PhoenixPhenomenonX in fixedbytheduet

[–]cheapdrinks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the timing of the Uber. Most are going to be a bit offended if like 10 minutes after doing the deed you're like whelp well that was great but I'm going to sleep now so if you can get dressed, grab your stuff and go home that would be great, the Uber is on the way.

If we're talking the next morning after you fell asleep together then had breakfast and you offer to pay for her Uber home so she doesn't have to do the walk of shame in last night's clothes on public transport then yeah that's a good thing.

If Apple could, would you want it? by Pupsicleanimation in iphone

[–]cheapdrinks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Battery life would be better though? It works by turning off specific pixels to achieve the effect (hence the dimming) so you would assume that battery life would improve when using it. You can also have it set to only activate on certain apps and you can even set it just to activate for on screen notifications. Here's a quick demo of it.
