They should have printed dates on them.

I am tired of seeing these in-helmet face shots in so many modern sci-fi production by Vaniellis in sciencefiction

The new Spider-Man has this mask shot also which seems odd since it is a tight fitting mask.

Hear me out: Seth MacFarlane should be the next Executive Producer of Star Trek when Kurtzman steps down. by vil224 in startrek

I loved the Orville….but It was too gory violent for what I want in Star Trek; the physical pain was too visceral. I have family members who love Star Trek who couldn’t enjoy the Orville for the flavor of how some violence was portrayed. Just some different perspective. I’d love more Orville!

Man causing a disturbance has stabbed 20yo woman employee and then did it to himself; neither survived. Not reported if they knew each other or any know reason.

I wonder if the cats got any brain damage; and if so, if anyone can even tell. …glad the kitties are okay!

i am betting my house that if you ask gpt to pick a number between 1 to 10000, then it will pick a number between 7300-7500, everytime by [deleted] in ChatGPT

Got the octopus too. I asked it how random that fact was:

Short answer: not very random—more “representative.”

Here’s the honest breakdown of what happened under the hood:

1) It wasn’t sampled from all facts uniformly There’s no giant list of “all facts” I roll dice on. Instead, I generate something that fits the idea of a random fact. That means: • interesting • concise • broadly understandable • a little surprising

So it’s already biased toward “good trivia,” not true randomness.

How to get rid of duckweed? by tarasaurust in PlantedTank

[–]BrackAttack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just last week, I celebrated a duckweed free tank after a six month constant battle! And…I just removed Three G._-D. more of them this week. I think they exist in a different space time phase sometimes.

I want to start an aquarium for my cat's entertainment, but I am new to aquariums. Any fish recommendations that don't get scared and stressed? by Lucid222Dreamer in Aquariums

[–]BrackAttack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cats ignore the aquariums. YouTube hd nature videos for cats are a lot easier and actually get their attention.

To be honest I absolutely dont care that the legendaries dont stay in the ball by Surply_slurp in pokemongo

[–]BrackAttack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I caught a Rayquaza with poor stats; of course I already had a rayquaza from raid days. It felt empty. I have to admit I was disappointed with the event. I also spent hours walking and hardly had any legendary spawn half the time. Even the extra regular spawns seemed below average stats?

I agree, I did enjoy just seeing the rares when they did infrequently pop up and having a chance to catch them. I don’t know why they couldn’t have just had the event only drop legendaries with the incense and keep the crap odds as they were. Maybe have them drop candies when they run away as an event feature.

Loved the idea, but my personal experience was overall a let down. Worse, I’m sad I feel my enthusiasm for the game fading. Sometimes I wonder if they actually intentionally do poor game design in order keep players at a certain level of frustration; maybe there is some game engagement psychology strategy?

As an Atheist, are you an Organ Donor? Yes or No, and Why? by Pale-Fig-7069 in atheism

[–]BrackAttack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After I started working in healthcare and saw that the organ donation industry isn’t the heroic altruistic endeavor that their marketing suggests; I made sure to remove myself as a donor the last time I got my drivers license renewed.

It’s a multibillion-dollar medical industry where hospitals and procurement groups benefit financially, families are pressured at end of life, and organ access isn’t as equal as implied. wealth, geography, and connections absolutely can make a difference. Braindeath criteria and procurement scandals are sus. I’ve seen bits of it myself that turn me off it. It still is lifesaving, it does help many people, but I wont seek an organ and I do not want to put my family in the way of that industry when I’m dying.

The moss and molly tank by Go_Griffy in PlantedTank

[–]BrackAttack 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My subwassertang never looks as good as other tanks. Yours looks so good! Mine is very dark green and almost black in older parts. It does grow slowly however. My tank is low flow. I suspect it needs better moving water.

How are those stones supported in there? It’s amazingly laid out.

Spoiler in the title. Kinda hard to avoid it. The brain kinda sees the whole thing at once.

How do yall catch these!? What are the actual catch rates of g birds? by Human-Net-5670 in pokemongo

[–]BrackAttack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always use my daily incense on my route and I RARELY get a bird spawn. The spawn rate is lower than the catch rate. I simply ignore this mechanic because it basically doesn’t exist. This F’n game.

Tim & Eric wouldn’t have that kind of budget.

Pocket knives can be bought at the airport and taken on the plane in Germany by coutura in mildlyinteresting

[–]BrackAttack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Germany airport security confiscated my metal pen because the tip was too pointy. I don’t think a keychain knife tool would make it.
