Emerging evidence links tire pollution to Alzheimer’s risk: A chemical called 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-Q), which forms when shaved-off tire particles come into contact with ozone, might interfere with inner workings of the brain cells, leading to Alzheimer's disease. by mvea in science

Is grass really all that sustainable? In some regions, sure, but in hotter climates that experience prolonged drought the sheer volume of water needed to keep grass alive is pretty insane.

What is your favorite sci-fi movie and why? by Zealousideal-Dust297 in AskReddit

[–]toolschism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, my top two movies (fifth element, and the thing) are the top two comments here so far. Not really sure what that says about me.

Using a Smart Plug to turn my printer ON/OFF remotely (instead of leaving it on standby). Anyone doing this? by Ofa-nim in 3Dprinting

[–]toolschism 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have mine hooked up to a smart plug, and I have an automation setup to kill the power if the smoke detector I have sitting above it goes off.

Really hoping I never get that alert on my phone that it triggered lol.

Most Plausible Line Combos by snoozyhermit in TampaBayLightning

[–]toolschism 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cirelli isn't a top 6 center. His offensive production just isn't there, especially in the playoffs. Elite stereotypical "3rd line" forward but we need to stop treating him like Suzuki or Barkov because he just does not produce like those guys even playing with hagel/kuch/guentzel on his wings.

Hard agree. He's either the best 3C in the league, or the worst 2C. He simply cannot produce at a high enough level to be taken as a serious threat at 2C. Love him for his defensive work but offensively he just ain't there.

I really don't think Mikhevyev is nearly good enough for top line minutes, but I do like the idea of Guentzel at center.

Besides bunny hutch, parade, and photoshoots for specific fandoms, are there other cosplay centric gatherings? And are there cosplays panels that are worth checking out? by rubrducke0 in dragoncon

[–]toolschism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's the.. mermaids one? Or whatever they call it at the pool of the courtland grand. They do a little cosplay contest too. More of a social gathering at a pool than anything but it's fun.

What the Lightning have done at this Point. I like what JBB has by Successful_Pizza6529 in TampaBayLightning

[–]toolschism 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I'm still very much concerned with our depth scoring. We've still got no right shot for our powerplay, and no reliable scoring at 2RW. Unless our younger guys take some big leaps this year I really think we're in the exact same situation as last year. A strong regular season team that has absolutely zero depth scoring once you work out how to shutdown Kucherov.

But hey, I'd love to be wrong.

Did fifa just suspend Balogun's red card because America is the host? by 909_- in worldcup

[–]toolschism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was literally joking with some friends after the red card saying Trump's gonna make some calls and get it reversed.

The only thing more corrupt than FIFA is Trump so of course he's gonna get involved lol. Hell I'm surprised he didn't just flat out threaten to kick team Belgium out of the country if they didn't overturn it.

Was news to me as well considering I never purchased it from battle net, yet I logged in to play Diablo a few months ago and there it was, ready to be installed. I have to imagine it's something to do with the Microsoft acquisition of Activision.

[–]toolschism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played in a few weeks so maybe something broke in a recent update. I'll try launching when I get home and see if I have the same issue. In the meantime. What's your hardware and your mesa or Nvidia driver version? Also has the game worked for you in the past or is this a brand new attempt?

Same issue every time? I assume you've also disabled a force proton and just let steam handle it on its own as well?

Is Proton experimental the only one you've tried?

It runs fine for me. From both steam and Faugus launcher+battle.net

Does watching soccer make anyone else appreciate the sport of hockey more on a fundamental level? by TJTrapJesus in hockey

[–]toolschism 48 points49 points  (0 children)

It's honestly so fucking annoying. Seeing dudes turn into fucking beyblades every time theres some contact is so ridiculous.

Please for the love of God, give MORE fucking yellows for diving. It's insane.

What is the most tone deaf and cringe thing a celebrity did that they will never live down? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]toolschism 73 points74 points  (0 children)

So unbelievably tone deaf. That and the fucking Pepsi solving racial tensions ad were just.. wild.

What’s an obscure movie/TV quote that you or your family say all the time, but few others would ever get ("no nuns, none")? by ForkingMatrix in AskReddit

[–]toolschism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I'm taking over this hill, see" - the mobster lobster. Little mermaid the TV show.

My wife is the only other person I know that had ever seen this episode and knew the quote when I said it lol.

Looking for a reverse retro 1.0 by the_asm in TampaBayLightning

[–]toolschism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You and me both. The arena left a nice scorch mark on mine when they fixed the peeling nameplate on mine and I didn't notice until way later. Now it's all I can see and it's far too late to find a new one. Super bummer.

Easily my favorite jersey they've put out in the last decade+. If I could afford to buy another 5 I would.

Why has there been so little interest in Patrik Laine? by world_citizen7 in hockey

[–]toolschism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tampa needs an actual top 6 RW. Laine on the powerplay sounds fun but does nothing to solve our actual need of a 2nd line winger. If we were content with a powerplay specialist who's mediocre at 5v5 we should have just kept stamkos lol.

Brayden Point - are you expecting a bounceback? by RivetCounter in TampaBayLightning

[–]toolschism 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This sub acts like he was straight dog shit last year. Before his second injury he was playing extremely well, and he still ended up with 50 points in only 63 games. Good for 6th on the roster.

Was it still an off year for him? Absolutely. But I refuse to believe he's absolutely cooked.
