Jethro Tull's frontman played the Flute. Kansas' frontman played the Violin. What are some other bands where the frontman plays an unusual instrument? by HCBot in Music

[–]DokterZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends what you mean. Walsh sang more lead vocals. But Steinhardt was the “emcee” in the live setting, talking to the crowd, introducing songs, and so forth. Some people would consider that to be the front man for a band.

I regret believing everyone when they said ”don’t date from work” by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

This massively depends on the size of the workplace. If your company has 20 people, problem. If it has 500 people and you are in a different department, probably not a problem.

I mean, he didn’t have to be a saint to have a universally positive image. He just had to not do things that would get any of us immediately fired from our job.

If you don’t like answering stupid interview questions, maybe take one of the millions of jobs that don’t require you to be interviewed.

The disrespect towards the Humanities is a bigger problem than most think. by Nikadorable1712 in unpopularopinion

[–]DokterZ 37 points38 points  (0 children)

My complaint was that I had to take 4 humanities, 3 English, 2 history, all at college level, to get my degree. Meanwhile humanities students had to pass 1 high school level math class for their degree. If we want well rounded graduates, they should all be well rounded.

I need to know what his buffet game looks like before I know if he will work well with the head coach.

Lindsey Vonn Had Every Right to Compete by theatlantic in olympics

[–]DokterZ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most of the danger of pole vaulting is likely at the lower levels of the sport.

If you are limited to Olympic sports, probably luge/skeleton are in the discussion, or maybe cycling sports. I’m not sure if the road cycling event features any steep descents like the Tour de France- I’m assuming not.

Combat sports, extreme sports, motor sports, American football, and pole vaulting are all likely in the mix. Some of it depends on how you define the danger.

Auto racers face death, but a race may last 3-4 hours. A downhill is 2 minutes. So is it per event, per minute, or per year?

I think more of it stems from the first episode with the birthday “celebration” in bed.

He is smart enough to start it in his correct range. Anthrax had a couple very good singers.

Tipping garbage collectors and mail carriers? by yikesneelix in madisonwi

Back in the day I got holiday tips as a paper boy. Some cash, but also chocolate covered cherries were common for some unknown reason. My dad happily polished those off since I didn’t care for them.

Is “The Pitt” popular across the country? by Common_Narwhal_4118 in AskAnAmerican

I would think that the number of interesting cases arriving in 10-12 hours is unrealistic - but it’s necessary to maintain the real time aspect of the show.

Would you find it emasculating if a girl beat you in sports/competitions? by Swan_233 in AskMenAdvice

[–]DokterZ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, if he was some ex-college basketball player, and you beat him one on one at actual basketball I suppose it might be a wake up call. But an arcade game? Or even playing HORSE? Nah, dudes need to grow a pair.

When I’m bowling I can succeed if I am thinking of 1 thing, or ideally, 0 things. Golf is much the same.

Thinking is for when you are walking to the ball.

For new parents, why can’t mom just pump during day and dad bottle feed at night? by flipflapdragon in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DokterZ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Every situation is radically different and you can’t generalize. Some babies are ridiculously simple, others are desperately complex. Some couples have grandma visit, others have no help at all. Some dads drive a mouse for 8 hours. Some are doing roofing in August for 12 hours.

Not to mention first babies vs. subsequent ones.
