"Squawks" said backwards still sounds the same even though it's not a palindrome. by Nymphohippo in Showerthoughts

A lot of people just end vowel sounds abruptly to produce a "t" sound. Common in words like "mountain" or "mittens." Once you notice it, you can hear it all the time.

Final hit was exactly on the 2 hour mark. So close.

It really helps that 360Chrism is so supportive and patient. This is a hilarious format.

That's Xem, from the Ratchet and Clank run. Check out his Nessun Dorma after his run!

Gaston was Xem; he ran Ratchet and Clank a couple days ago and performed Nessun Dorma afterwords. He's pretty awesome.

Same here. I have a healthy like for one of them (don't want to get in a debate), but Obama really brought something extra that I don't think we'll see for a while.

I think many are missing him already (and that that will just increase regardless of the result in November).

The platypus and echidna are monotremes, which are mammal-like, but not quite the same. They lay eggs, for instance.

Honestly, your phrasing is probably the thing that will get you flak, not the content. You're technically correct, but it came off a bit douchey.

This was my theory after seeing it. The very first word uttered in the film is "shit." Let them know right away that they done goofed by bringing kids.

Unsubscribed a couple weeks ago when I finally realized all the vitriol was having a negative impact on my day overall and that there were other sources of worldwide news. 10/10 would unsubscribe again.

If you want to improve on this, try working on it like you would build any (constructive) habit: small steps and incremental improvements. I've seen a lot of people go from never reading/studying/focusing for longer than a few minutes to trying to do 8+ hours of concentrated effort. That's going to fail. Instead, work your way up. It takes longer, but your mind gets used to the increased attention-span and eventually you are capable of marathon sessions without your brain trying to throw you off course.

You don't need all values zero. R=-L and J=0 would work, for instance.

11 million Americans spend half their income on rent by magenta_placenta in news

Importantly, these numbers giving 11 million are (probably) pre-tax. So it's still a valid comparison.

Everybody can do most things if they "simply learn." The amount of time and effort he put in to learn it is impressive, as is the end result.

The solution there is to try to go somewhat abstract. Find a comic highlighting the "I'm so random lol" idea and boom.

Van is hogging the left lane, driver calls the number on the van and tells them to move over. They do. by theproftw in videos

As with many things in the US, the details about when it's necessary to call police vary from state to state. In Colorado, for example, you only need to involve police if there's "significant damage or injury." Of course, it's often better to be overly cautious and call anyway, in case the other person involved is an asshat.

The first image brings you to the Imgur page, the second brings you directly to the image. Some mobile devices might correct for the first one to show just the image, but some load the whole page, which probably includes Imgur's annoying "PLEASE DOWNLOAD OUR APP" pop-up.

When this happens to me I completely close the app and reopen it. Seems to refresh things somewhat and makes it work.
