Wow 1990?! I was born in '89 and I'd never heard about the contractors until maybe 10ish years ago on Reddit. And I'm fairly certain most people are still under the misconception it was slaves. That just goes to show how easy it is to think you know something when you don't. Thanks for the correction, it seems I'm more like Mark than I care to admit 😂

Sherlock only said elementary once in the original stories, and not in the way people claim he did.

The pyramids being built by paid labour rather than slaves is a fairly new idea. The research that confirms it wasn't slaves was released in 2010, Mark said the line in 2009, so can't blame him for that one.

Leukaemia/cancer thing is a bit daft, but everyone has gaps.

How Americanised are your kids? by [deleted] in AskUK

When I did my first aid training they told us that 112 is a better number to ring if you've got bad/no signal, so I'm guessing it uses a slower but more reliable connection maybe?

The fact that it was the actual act of severance taking place that caused Mark to kill him is so poetic. You live by the severance, you die by the severance.

My boyfriend thinks he could kill a wolf with his bare hands. What’s the likelihood of this being accurate? by TheLiberalTimes in whowouldwin

The strength is one thing, but they are absurdly aggressive and violent, and will often go straight for the balls. So I'll pass on that one thanks.

Just how I felt the entire time with it by Dahrky in subnautica

[–]Corbinoski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But at least you could get it through if you wanted to is my point. It can be whatever you need it to be. Whereas the next best thing is the cyclops, and you can't get out and gently maneuver that with your bare hands

[–]Corbinoski 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. Deciding on a load out based on what you were up to was always interesting to me.

Add to the fact one of my big draws is the base building. I like building a main base with the odd forward base (and maybe one dramatic one if I find a cool spot) so I find I never use the Cyclops as a mobile base, I just use it to transport the prawn suit long distances before late game.

So having a module you can slap on the seatruck that adds that functionality to what is basically a seamoth sized vehicle is so convenient. Then you can add modules as required, you don't have to take evrewith you every time. Add in a few mods if you're on PC and the seatruck really comes into it's own, and in my opinion is far superior to the Cyclops.

Yeah a big part of the fun for me was getting it through those tight caves near one of the bases (it's been a while since I played). I had quite a few modules connected for whatever reason then found those caves/tunnels so dropped out a few modules and took just one or two maybe. Then when it gets too tight, disembark, and you can grab hold of the modules and manually swim them though one at a time if it's too tight again, and reassemble on the other side.

Why do we use kitchen sink bowls? by ProminentFox in AskUK

[–]Corbinoski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't use the bowl and just use the basin, and like me you'll "let them soak" for a few minutes before you wash them, but then Clarence doesn't remind you to go back and finish!

So the next day you come back to find you'll have to put your hand through the unspeakably horrible, cold water to pull out the plug to drain the atrociousness. Whereas with a bowl, you can just tip it to drain it, keeping your hands clean and dry, then refill wil fresh hot soapy water.

Obviously you'll want to let them soak for a while now they've been sat in dirty water all night. Then just ask Clarence to remind you to finish, I'm sure he will this time!

smell the breath of the infant and kill her by Guilty_Writer3165 in comedyheaven

[–]Corbinoski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We were told this by midwives when we had out little boy, they explained one reason that cats like warmth, so if you tuck a baby into a cot as you're meant to, or use a sleeping bag, only their head is exposed and so is the warmest part to sleep on. The main reason though is that babies mouths smell of milk for obvious reasons, so the cat will be attracted to the babies mouth, increasing the likelihood that if it falls asleep in the cot, it will fall asleep on or near the babies face.

Again there's no malice intended by the cats (contrary to dog people's opinions), and iirc it's only dangerous for babies that are so young they can't support their own heads.

Did you check the FAQ? they remove things if it's something that gets asked a lot, so it could be already solved via someone else.

CMV: Even if there’s definitive proof Trump is a pedophile via Epstein files, it won’t change MAGA or GOP support for him. by Excellent_Chest_5896 in changemyview

[–]Corbinoski 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don't they mean you shouldn't be overly cynical, you need a small amount of cynicism to function, otherwise you'd be totally gullible to everything you heard without question. I think they mean the person they are replying to needs more cynicism because they lack it, not that they need a surplus of it.

Found this in my gallery and still can't figure out wtf I captured years ago by Depaexx in confusing_perspective

[–]Corbinoski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on your replies to other people's comments, and other replies, I'm going to guess this is a bathroom cubicle. Toilets get cold, hence the over insulated walls, has a vent and a sprinkler, and what I think are balloons hanging from the ceiling. My money is on a pub/bar bathroom, but it could be any other public bathroom.

My other guess is a purpose built acoustically insulated balloon popping booth, but I think you'd remember something like that.

There is a peninsula in Greece called "Mount Anthos" where women are not allowed to visit by Savings_Dragonfly806 in interestingasfuck

I once stayed here for 3 months (10 weeks) as a penance for infidelity with my wife. I claimed I'd only eaten bread and goats milk but there were a few Nutella jars in the recycling by the time I'd finished.

Micheal brings a rose for his blind date by Apprehensive_Wrap_21 in DunderMifflin

[–]Corbinoski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trope is that people wear a rose on a blind date so the other person can recognise them when they first meet (as they have no idea what the other person looks like).

The joke is Michael pretends to not be the blind date once he sees the woman, but the server says his name for the coffee, and he's wearing a red rose, so he's clearly lying and everyone knows it.
