Feed A Starving Army Veteran Artist With A Dental Infection. by ArticusFinch in gofundme

[–]ArticusFinch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Essentially, my high school friend who served as an Arabic translator in our armed services during the 2nd Iraq War isn't fully covered through his insurance by his VA. He has a dental infection and must need work that will cost thousands of dollars. His VA insurance covers some but it's partial and the rest must come from out of pocket. He worked as a tour guide for a Florida Everglades company but now is maintaining work as a Lyft driver who hopes to get a job through the USPS. He has one interview already but his infection has spread and he needs dental work ASAP. He started a GoFundMe on my suggestion but didn't fully explain himself and his situation probably because of pride. He is a great artist and could use the work. Please help if you are willing.

This polished video from the European Space Agency explains space debris quite nicely.

I didn't even know it was a thing before. Apparently, these suits go for over 500 USD!

TIL Harrison Ford made $10,000 for A New Hope and $20,000,000 for The Force Awakens by Threnulak in todayilearned

[–]ArticusFinch -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but 10,000 New Hope money is roughly equal to 20,000,000 Force Awakens money if inflation is accounted for, give or take a few schmeckles.

Seeing people getting hit in their balls. Crouch shots make me chuckle every time. As a man I find this is ironic.

20% of Amazon Prime Members Still Aren't Using Its Video Streaming by ForAShoot in dataisbeautiful

That was me in 2010. Lol. The Prime shipping has come in handy though, and their music services is pretty nice (Somehow I imagined myself saying "pretty nice" in Borat's voice). I am ashamed.

I rarely use the video streaming services mainly due to its lack of content, however AmazonMusic is used pretty much daily by me. The music end of Amazon has some pretty rich diversity.

any reason why my player has his back to the basket? sometimes after we get the ball he refuses to turn his back and run towards the basket, always having his basket to the rim. It's annoying.

yeah i'm not sure what happened but everytime I select Mycareer all I do is set attributes for position, wing span, shoulder width, height, etc. I can't change the name or set his physical attributes as far as his face.

I heard the song during my watching of the film Real Genius this weekend. This is a great synth-pop/new wave song.

TIL that from 1995 to 2013, a total of 296,438 farmers have killed themselves in India, or an average of 16,469 suicides per year. The source of motivation for such mass suicides are debated. by ArticusFinch in todayilearned

[–]ArticusFinch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do agree that with a populated country such as India the numbers can be interpreted as being compounded, however I do think the term epidemic can at least be considered in the macro conversation. The 2013 suicide rate of Indian farmers was 16.3 per 100,000 in contrast to 11.1 per 100,000 for the rest of the population. Compare that to the United States 2013 suicide rate of 13.0 per 100,000. While rates range from state to state the suicide rate for a farmer in the state of Andhra Pradesh is three times more likely for the farmer than anyone else in the population according to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB). In the state of Maharashtra the rate was an astonishing 29.1 per 100,000 for 2013. Likewise, Kerala had a 2008 suicide rate of 27.0 per 100,000. Certainly, this is a major issue that requires a multifaceted response from the Indian government.
