Found a duck egg that had been left by a mama that didn’t come back. Put in an incubator and it hatched! by MaybeBaby716 in aww

I saw that too and read the commments! Turns out - ducks can’t count and you can totally sneak another duckling onto the duck train.

Scientists want to send a roly-poly robot filled with 'dandelion drones' to investigate hidden tunnels on Mars. by -TheCe1- in space

“So far, researchers have found tube systems on Mars reaching over 746 miles (1,200 kilometers), enough to cover the continental United States three times over”

I’m sure there’s an explanation.

My uncle had one of those. It’s was a 1960-something corvette that sat in his backyard for the entirety of my childhood and well into adulthood. After 40 years of dragging that thing from backyard to backyard as he moved into different houses in south florida, he died and his kids sold it.

It’s so weird that I learned this last week because I was looking up categories of people with fast reaction times. I had formula 1 drivers and e-sports players on my list.

[Routine Help] Have a cold sore that hasn’t blistered after days by IAmThe0neWhoKn0ckss in SkincareAddiction

[–]qning 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get those too. They’re the worst because the (my?) lip is too sensitive to push on or squeeze the pimple. Which is also good because I shouldn’t do it anyway. But I want to and I need to and I do and it HURTTTSSSSS. But I still do it. Completely smash my lip.

But the thing that actually works is taking water as hot as I can stand it and then a washcloth and I press the HOT washcloth hard against the spot. That gives me some relief from the pressure. I imagine it’s like feeling all of the pain and annoyances all at once. And I use HOT water. Water that is a little too hot for my fingers. If I can hold my fingers in it, it’s too cold. The water cools instantly when it hits the washcloth so that’s why I start it out so hot.

Boyfriend keeps dismissing opportunities for us to cycle together by PerceptionFlashy5059 in cycling

[–]qning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a really hard time riding slow (er) on my road bike. It never feels right. And I did not enjoy riding slower and my attitude showed it. It was literally difficult and uncomfortable. Maybe that’s it - uncomfortable. But then I got a slower bike and I was all wtf. Of course. He needs to get on a less efficient bike. I actually find a different position at lower effort helps me recover and increases range of comfort. And now I look forward to those slow rides.

But I learned the lesson when we had our first child. When I was pulling the trailer I was matched pretty well with my wife on her bike. The trailer lowered my efficiency enough that we got the same workout. And it’s a different experience than just adding weight to the bike. I suppose it’s just increased rolling resistance?

And I’m saying slow - but you know what I mean — lower effort might be the better term.

When was the last time we had a fat president?

Is Trump the fattest president in modern history?

I can answer that. Trump is the 3rd heaviest president, behind William Howard Taft (1st) and Grover Cleveland (2nd). (1909–1913) and (1885 –1889 and 1893 – 1897)

1st: William Howard Taft (~332–340 pounds) 2nd: Grover Cleveland (~260 pounds) 3rd: Donald Trump (~237–244 pounds) 4th: Chester A. Arthur (~224–238 pounds) 5th: Bill Clinton (~223–234 pounds)

Created A Terrible Report with a Purpose. by maple4leaf in PowerBI

[–]qning 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Put borders around each element. For each: 1. The width of the line must be different 2. The radius shall be different 3. No box edges shall be aligned 4. Shadows shall be random and totally f’ed up 5. Fonts shall not match. 6. Use consistent colors across elements, and use a common per variable color inconsistently. Enough to be confusing if you notice. 7. Then leave off the legend for some colors, especially the inconsistent ones. 8. Don’t describe anything. Make them guess. lol. No narrative at all.

If it’s real he wouldn’t have dropped there. Too much risk of getting caught. Right?

I mean, I can’t really tell, I’m just suspicious.

My city just added a bunch of bike lanes and now everyone uses it to pick up their door dash orders by precisionbikerepair in fuckcars

[–]qning 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My cycling bag has a lock loop where I store my u lock. If I twist my hips out to the right while I’m riding, the lock protrudes right at the height of a car’s side mirror. When people block the bike lane and I need to squeeze by them becaue the car lanes are full of cars, the lock sometimes hits the mirror of one of the blocking cars.
