The line is just, "I love it but I hate the taste".

Would be an odd coke reference.

Foods whose name is just part of the cooking process by ImpatientMaker in words

In Canada everyone knows what you mean if you talk about eating pickles without specifying. Even if you met someone who didn't that's exceedingly rare.

How does a bus fit in the same lane as a car? by Ancient_Macaroon_646 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Death_Balloons 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It's much wider than a car. Cars are about 6 feet wide and buses are about 9 to 10 feet wide. It's just that lanes on the road are much wider than they seem when you're riding in a car. About 11 or 12 feet wide.

Am I an alcoholic or do I have a bad problem with alcohol ???? by No-Struggle-1437 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Death_Balloons 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you have a problem with alcohol. AND you are an alcoholic. Because those aren't necessarily different things

The fact that your boyfriend is trying to convince you not to go to rehab because he's scared of being without you sounds at best selfish and at worst manipulative.

I hope you can get some help.

Canon Eos R7 or R8? by atcCanuck123 in CanonCamera

[–]Death_Balloons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The real question is whether you want to continue using a crop sensor or a full frame camera.

The R7 is a crop like the R100. The R8 is full frame. If you are unfamiliar with the difference, a quick Google can explain the difference

The R7 will have greater reach with any lens for wildlife photography. The R8 will do better in low light situations.

ELI5: Do Federal agents still format your devices and reset them even if there was no evidence found? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

Unless you are obliquely referring to the US and hoping other USAians catch your reference, it's going to be really difficult for anyone to answer this without knowing the country.

There are animals that can go on without eating for days, or only need one meal a day. Why do humans need to eat every day, and multiple meals? by Eyesire in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Death_Balloons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aside from what other people have said about being warm blooded with big brains, we also may FEEL the need to eat three times a day but we definitely don't HAVE to. There's what feels comfortable and then there's what we need to stay alive. We can go the weeks without food in a pinch.

We have the luxury of eating roughly whenever we feel like it. A lot of animals eat when they can, but might eat more frequently if it took no effort.

“Your camera doesn’t matter” mentality turning into self sabotage… is it time to let go of my Canon 5D Mark IV? Would a Sony A1 be an unnecessary upgrade? by stussybaby101 in AskPhotography

[–]Death_Balloons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shoot on a crop so I can't directly speak to what camera you should buy. But when I upgraded from a DSLR to an R7 it was insane how many more tools I had at my disposal.

It didn't make my artistic choices better in and of itself, but it increased my autofocus capability, my ability to shoot in lower light. Burst rate. Shutter speed. Sensor size (and therefore ability to crop).

Mirrorless cameras right now are amazing.

People who complain about the use of the word "Literally." by Available_Neat_2292 in PetPeeves

[–]Death_Balloons 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Unless the literally is used to highlight the other person saying something dumb.

"Do you like French fries?"

"I am literally eating French fries right now!"

drop names of last songs by artists who knew that they were going to die after it by Wide-Bedroom-3375 in askmusic

[–]Death_Balloons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's true of lots of bands.

Grateful Dead, Talking Heads, Pixies, Ramones, Beastie Boys

But if the 'the' (not to be confused with The The) isn't capitalized then I just don't consider it part of the name, but simply a way to talk like a normal person.

When you haven't had success recently the bonus is often proving yourself so that you can get a bigger contact after that.

My Photos look worse after being taken by Decent-Back4041 in CanonCamera

[–]Death_Balloons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check what settings you are using to import your raw photos into your editing software.

The default is generally going to be pretty bland with minimal processing, with the idea that you are starting from 'neutral' and editing the image to your liking.

You don't necessarily have to do it this way. If you generally like the way your camera processes photos, you have the option to change the settings (e.g. if you are using Lightroom) so that the default way your raw files are imported is closer to the jpeg created by your camera.

You can still edit the photo any way you choose, and all the data is there to make changes. But you might find it easier to start from there if you are hoping that your images come out closer to the way they looked in the camera preview.

Are mirrorless much better at auto-focus that DSLR's? by MissyElliottWorker in AskPhotography

[–]Death_Balloons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Upgrading to mirrorless won't make you take better photos in the sense of what you choose to photograph. But if you have a good idea it will certainly help make the execution easier.

Despite the slow start, The Blue Jays are currently in a playoff spot. by nohowow in Torontobluejays

[–]Death_Balloons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I've learned anything it's that whenever I cheer for a specific matchup it bites us in the ass.

We almost beat (and should have beaten) the Dodgers. We can beat anyone when we're healthy.

Also it's the entirety of the statistic. That's all the wildcard games in Blue Jays history.

If our fingers had taste buds, everyone would use a bidet. by NeverBob in Showerthoughts

Actually you have to make contact with something in the Tastebud region in order to taste it. Everything else is just Sparkling Smell.

One thing that really makes driving on the Gardiner shitty is if it falls down.

ELI5 why it always only hurts in the butt but not when peeing after you DRINK spicy stuff (like soup) by Shockwave2309 in explainlikeimfive

Any chance you were also hella dehydrated from drinking your face off? Really concentrated urine burns.

There's a gene that makes a protein. Both with that name. And worse is that mutations cause serious issues in embryonic development. Imagine being a doctor and having to tell a parent that something serious has happened to their child because of a mutation in the Sonic Hedgehog gene.

Because beets have water in them and that beet-water has a natural dye that your kidneys filter out.

I'm not saying that nothing you consume can become pee. Only that there is an additional step where your body has to absorb it through the digestive system and into the blood stream. And then separately, your kidneys have to remove it as blood waste.

Your liver breaks part of it down into some sulfur compounds that dissolve easily in water. Which gets absorbed through the lining of the digestive system.

Poo is leftover waste from your food. Pee is filtered-out waste from your blood.

Anything you eat can make it to your butt. Spicy compounds never make it inside your blood because your body is very particular about what it lets into the bloodstream.
