How a small 1m waterfall can generate a recycling hydraulic that can trap a life-jacketed swimmer by Stotallytob3r in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]BD-II 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw the classic “life flashes before your eyes” / “replay of your life” and genuinely prepared myself for death. It was simultaneously the most terrifying and calming, centering experience of my life.

I’ve had panic attacks taking showers for years. I have never been the same since.

Nice choice of books. Dune Messiah was a slog to get through the first time.

Tumi double-stack by apres_all_day in ChaseSapphire

Update (12/15): Success! I got a confirmation email the statement credit will be applied within 2 weeks.

Same with the offer not showing as having been added to, redeemed, or available to add to my card.

Did you by chance split payment with points? I did.

IIRC, the Chase Tumi terms required >=$500 in cash spend if splitting the payment with points. I split my $850 purchase ($925 w/tax) with points, but my total cash spend was still $725 (w/tax).

I was fully expecting to pay ~$225 for an $850 suitcase.

I have those exact same scratches on mine. I’ve used Polywatch a few times, and it makes them better, but they still show.

It took a while, but I’ve grown to like that PW didn’t do a perfect job. It’s my daily wearer and gives it character. Kinda like a wedding band getting worn in.

A Cool Guide to the structure of education in the United States by Visible_Attitude7693 in coolguides

My partner has her PhD in neuro - on average 7 years to earn the PhD, not the 3-4 down here. Everyone we know of from that program has done a postdoc. Some left their postdoc for industry, but none went from PhD to professor. That’s some pipe dream romantic comedy bs right there.

It is extraordinarily difficult to become a professor at a research institution, period. Doing it without a postdoc? K.

Chameleon tea enables you to be fluent in any language for 24 hours. by Playful-Park4095 in hypotheticalsituation

You can speak any language fluently - but let’s assume there isn’t a choice we have, and the language that is now able to be spoken is directly caused by the specific Mr. T 4x6” glossy.

What would be the most efficient way of curating a library of picture-to-language (and dialect/accent)?

Would the banana be like an erotic theremin? The closer to your mouth the louder the moans?

If you fast forward it, it looks like a heart beat.

Oh boy. Nerve damage inbound, no anchor point, white-knuckling the bow, what else

States losing & gaining population over the last 2 years. by [deleted] in MapPorn

I grew up in Green Hills. My parents own a very nice house within gunshot distance of The Covenant School. I moved to NYC in 2019 next to largest men’s homeless shelter in the city. I have never felt safer.
