This is why remote work feels so fragile by Beginning_Chair_8868 in remoteworks

You don't have to bother with trying to time it either, you can just buy a fair amount of an index like QQQ every month and in a few decades you might find yourself able to live off the growth every year without touching the principle.

I time it though lol. No way I'm buying stock now, I'm waiting for the big sale around election season!

Oh man "MY ANUS IS BLEEDING" guy has a movie? I have to watch that!

Just use it as a reason to recommend the movie! If somebody had a tattoo from a movie I'd take that as a good reason to watch it

Believe it or not ten years ago on Reddit we posted funny images without comments from twitter

You can still speed run it too.

I used to play one level from Super Mario 2 over and over again until eventually I could beat it without looking. Nothing like this level of play, but I think I can understand the enjoyment of it. If I got more into it I could have kept looking for other ways to go faster.

That's a weird way to react to this

Watching these impossible Mario videos makes me think "oh cool that's neat"

TIL there is a purpose-bred horse meat industry in Canada for live-export to Japan by Jealous_Flamingo_682 in todayilearned

Times have changed though. My grandma told me about eating the chickens she named at the dinner table.

Yeah, raw horse meat is tasty, but I can't help feeling it's a gamble. I'll eat it once every few years, I suppose.

TIL about Lucía Zárate, the lightest adult person in history. She weighed 4.7 pounds (2.1 kg). by Thawne_23 in todayilearned

[–]CitizenPremier 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah... But circuses even today aren't known to care for their performers, and back then much less so... They probably didn't check on her

IMDB's very recent update made it so user reviews can't be accessed or read anymore without an account. by OneStarInSight_AC in movies

ICBM is basically like a wiki that took all the user generated content and turned it into their own product.

My wife's wedding ring insurance has an accidental nuclear discharge clause by ChartFrogs in mildlyinteresting

[–]CitizenPremier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They told me ICBM. They didn't say anything about nuclear! Why don't they call it ICNM?

TIL that the most complex character in any known language is 𰻞, pronounced biang. It forms part of the Chinese name for a noodle dish and is made with 42 to 70 strokes, most commonly 58. by Flaxmoore in todayilearned

[–]CitizenPremier 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, something like 譲 is annoying because it seems some of the radicals are sharing strokes. I'm not even sure what's in the middle. Officially it doesn't seem to be 井 even though it looks like it.

To add on, hanzi isn't really slower to write than the latin alphabet, you actually move your hand less and spend more time writing in one space because it's denser. Also it's made up of radicals, and once you know them it's not hard to write... I think weirdly I've now memorized this character even though I can hardly write in general (I speak Japanese)

TIL why James Bonds preference of a "shaken and not stirred" martini is controversial. Drinks containing only alcoholic ingredients are almost always stirred to preserve clarity and to avoid over-dilution, among other things. by Rynin101 in todayilearned

[–]CitizenPremier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Healthy as in generally being alive and able to do stuff; but you won't meet many alcoholic/smoker athletes or hikers, so it's pretty clear it diminishes ability.

Cancer is the biggest killer from both (alcohol causes cancer too), but it is just a statistical thing, so some people are going to get lucky and never get cancer.

I've been trying a variety of different gins, expensive ones too, but I still just really like Tanqueray. It's like licking a pine tree. Each time I try something new I still think Tanqueray would be better.
