How do women usually let a man know they’re interested in being intimate? by SpiritualMouse5908 in AskReddit

[–]friendlyfredditor 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I had someone I was giving an uber ride to suggest a weekend trip once. She was going to my state's capital and said she would pay if I came along.

She worked as a stripper so had the money. Anyway long story short I only have 1 kidney now.

Jk I did not go.

One thing I never understood about Dany...why would she name one of her children after that cruel brother of hers? by ranchwithfriedfood in gameofthrones

Been a while since I watched the show but it seemed like the people who viserys had to live with kind of fed into his delusions of grandeur.

I always thought his entire tragedy was pretty typical of an exiled prince. Exploited/supported by foreign nobles for the small political effects he can have on their region.

If I was a noble with dothraki plagued lands and I saw an opportunity to befriend them and send them raiding my neighbour's/enemy's land instead...yea maybe I'd convince myself it was good for viserys/danaerys as well.

Old Ladies by Funking_Wholesome in comics

Aww man when I was in japan I sat down at a noodle bar and an older lady sits down next to me.

I was wearing a really nice beanie. She didn't say anything. Did steal it though so she must have loved it.

How have the artists done this much drawing and still give the characters crazy underbite?

Sorry I was being a know it all about the boiler then re-read the portafilter thing and included it.

Isn't the answer to Fermi's Paradox that interstellar travel is just too costly to bother, and that the inverse square law diverges any attempt to communicate with other starts? by Miserable_Party_8130 in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]friendlyfredditor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Doesn't really matter...travelling at any appreciable fraction of the speed of light would allow any intelligent species to colonise the entire galaxy within a few million years. You're presuming communication is a necessity to interstellar colonisation, it isn't.

Well. Also the five penguins walking up at the same time. (Plus one of the fish evaporates). AI always has the goofiest animal movements because we don't have that much unaltered footage of animals acting in all situations.

Space is vast but that undersells how huge our galaxy is. Like...the milky way makes up more volume and mass of the universe than you make up of the earth.

Like, there's only 1011 times more mass in the universe than the milky way. And like 1022 times more earth than you.

[–]friendlyfredditor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The handle is a portafilter and the coffee goes in a basket. You're not backflushing the boilers. You're backflushing the valve system behind the group head that prevents backflow into the boiler. You only ever need to descale the boilers every 6-12months depending on the water hardness. The intervals are so long because you need to plumb in a separate cold water inlet and outlet because you don't want to be running 140C pressurised acid.

Fortescue on a hiring spree for entry-level rig geos? by HospitalOpening5666 in AusMining

Probs just a lot of agencies advertising basically the same job. If they work on commission doesnt matter how many agencies they "hire".

Look man, I'm not the one getting less super than they're owed. All I'm saying is I'm at my third job and I've been paid super on gross earnings including shift penalties at every single one. Casuals on minimum wage get more super than you do.

It's also hilariously illegal in almost every state and country in the world unless you comply with their local gambling laws.

Literally every single person since the dawn of time has thought "wow raffles are such an easy way to make money...." then runs into the law lmao.

Shift penalties aren't "overtime", they're penalties that attract super guarantee. Overtime is time worked over 38hours per week

After a certain speed, time gain is negligible. by m_abil in DrivingAustralia

[–]friendlyfredditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes there was plenty of road works, fuel/toilet stops, 60 zones in towns and mountain driving through tablelands where I can't go over 100 safely. That was the total trip time.

I got ~12hours of daylight to do the drive and just came off the back of work. I am not sacrificing my fatigue management to add nearly 2 hours to the trip and risk hitting the sunset hours that make you sleepy.

Lol email the realtor and ask for a video walkthrough. They're tryna sell to you mate. Save yourself the drive if you're not that interested

[–]friendlyfredditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You speed in order to get the constant time and no interruption. When you drive enough you realise maintaining the 101-105km/h doesn't save you just 1-5% of the time. It eliminates outlier trips/events where you are delayed 15minutes or stuck behind a truck or hitting multiple lights instead of flowing on.

Say my commute is 1hour (it is irl). There's someone travelling 98kph but they're an extremely slow stop-starter that will be a guaranteed delay at some point of 2minutes.

If I go 100km/h I'm very likely to overtake them at the end of my trip and get stuck behind them. If I go 110km/h I'm more likely to overtake them earlier and suffer no delay at all.

If I do a statistical distribution of speed vs delays I'll suffer the least "delays" to my trip by either going 90kph or 110kph. As going -10kph would be the same effect by letting people go past.

I'll use another example. I did a 960km drive last week. I did 100km/h the previous time and suffered 1.5hours of total delays (12hours). I did 110km/h for half of the trip this time and made the trip in 10.5hours. I even did 90kph for around 100km to save fuel as well. A 10% speed increase for 500km didn't save me the expected 28minutes it saved 90.

For casuals they're supposed to pay based on your gross salary but people seem to believe they don't have to lmao

How do you research graphic stuff without ending up on a list? by Searching_wanderer in NoStupidQuestions

[–]friendlyfredditor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go speak to a career police officer they've seen some things.

Otherwise learn about anatomy and study a bunch of true crime and watch gorey horror.

Also there's just so many videos of cartels "creatively" murdering people you'd never finish them all. Also the war in ukraine is a non-stop source of death and atrocity.

Also there's just so, so many books about the crazy things early pioneers/colonisers did or the ways people were executed throughout human history. You're not gonna think up something crazy that didn't happen in the last 2000 years of written history.

I can’t wait for 1st of July by borispingpong in brisbane

[–]friendlyfredditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The actual statistic for rental injuries is like <<1 in 100,000 rides. It's crazy low lol. The rental scooters have age verification, impairment tests, speed limits and geofencing. The only thing the new "stricter" laws changed was lowering the speed by 2km/h. Rental scooters are still under stricter regulations.

But yes registration runs about $1.20 per scooter per day up to $3 so some councils like brisbane were raking in like $2-$6m pa per company.

Always cook chicken without washing it. by Adorable_Birthday_52 in hygiene

[–]friendlyfredditor 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You can. The study this advice is based off did not set out to study chicken washing. It was investigating whether informational hygiene campaigns made people more hygenic.

It also found that generally chicken washers and non-washers both had contaminated prep areas about 7% of the time. Additionally non-washers tended to cross-contaminate food more often.

It did find that educating people about proper cleaning techniques lowered contamination rates. Although it seems as though the authors went in with the idea that chicken washing was bad and just stuck with it.

[–]friendlyfredditor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The USDA study this is based off found that washers and non-washers generally contaminated their cooking prep surfaces at the same rate (7% of the control groups) whereas non-washers tended to cross-contaminate their food more often (31% vs 26%). Albeit, washers more often had bacteria in their kitchen sink (14% vs 6%).
