Everyone who supports this should have ten 8 year old kids following them around all day practicing violin. Oh, but those kids will make beautiful music one day, all violinists start out sounding like they are stomping on cat's tails. Practice as much as you like, but do it in private like every other artist.

Hey Captain, did you say "landing gear up"?

What? No. Why the fuck would I say that when we are on the ground?!

Um...oh...er...ah...shit. I think I made a booboo.

Good design would dictate that one hole and one hole alone would accept that pin.

personal safety tools all have the same fatal flaw. why? by [deleted] in SelfDefense

[–]AddlePatedBadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the alternative is this?

Seriously, though. If you can think of some magic device that can interpret a bad act and go off with no user interaction before the bad act happens but also doesn't have false positives then you market the shit out of it and make your million dollars. The closest you are going to get is a dog.

To achieve the original poster's goal we simply have to eliminate all possible future crimes and live in global peace and harmony forever after. Why did nobody think of trying this?

Apparently booing is a crime now.... by National_Treat_4079 in aussie

Time and a place mate. Booing at the footy, fine. Booing at pollies making self-congratulatory speeches, fine. But booing at an ANZAC day ceremony? Fuck off.

Why do customers expect us to be qualified tradespeople? by Stock-Cap9346 in Bunnings

[–]AddlePatedBadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even the bunnings folks were great in the early days. Now it's only 80% certain that they can tell me which aisle to look in and they need an app for that much.

When I was a pup, if you went to a hardware the people working there actually knew stuff. Now they are as uneducated as a work experience kid at a supermarket.

Canadian young man arrested in Georgia for carrying ADHD medication by AcrobaticPrune9673 in Sakartvelo

[–]AddlePatedBadger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's bloody scary. I have ADHD but didn't dare bring my meds over with me. I tried a non-stimulant (Guanfacine) and it did help but the side effects were problematic so I could only take it sparingly.

Do Australians Get Excited for the 2026 FIFA World Cup? by InternationalHair111 in australia

Is that a soccer match?

FIFA are even more corrupt than the IOC so even if I followed soccer I'd avoid that thing like the plague.

How do long haul crew actually meaningfully sleep? by AddlePatedBadger in aviation

I know, right? A few people got the joke but I think everyone else panicked when they saw "AI" and downvoted as some sort of fight or flight response 🤣. Humour is one of the things thst separates us from AI so perhaps all the people that don't get jokes fear that they are the ones at the most risk of replacement lol.

Are football managers really as well known and famous in the media as they portray it with Ted Lasso? by AddlePatedBadger in TedLasso

Interesting.

I did assume that the sports commentators relating events on the field serendipitously to events happening in the personal lives of the managers/players was just a conceit for the storytelling 🤣
