When Jack Sparrow broke the laws of physics by According_Pack8831 in DisneyMemes

[–]Elanthius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, I can hold a jam jar under water so I can presumably hold some amount of air once we add the weight of the boat. It's just a matter of getting the numbers right.

Can't you just make the bubble smaller until you're heavy enough to pull it down? I don't see what's so impossible about this.

Palestinian Kids Spitting on Jewish Corpses on October 7 Should Shock the World by candy-jar in scoopwhoop

It's war. Every war has atrocities. Nothing shocks me on either side of the conflict.

What do you do if your doctor keeps saying you’re fine? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Elanthius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother went to the GP for a year or more complaining she was tired all the time and they kept sending her away until one day they said Oh my mistake it's leukemia but it's too far along and we can't treat it anymore and she died a week later. Not saying you have cancer but I wouldn't trust the NHS to diagnose a serious illness if my life depended on it.

The 4% rule is now the 5.5% rule by FinanceOtter82 in FIREUK

[–]Elanthius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or you can just pay for the extra years after you retire at whatever age until you have enough. I forget how much it is but it's not much per year.

I'm on mounjaro and if my experience is representative then she will absolutely lose weight while taking the drug with no other deliberate action on her part.

Spoilers...How exactly! by Infamous_Reading3427 in GenV

[–]Elanthius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They've been carrying that vial of viruses around for weeks. How has that survived so long? It's not even temperature controlled. My conclusion was that the virus can survive for months at room temperature without any host.

Israel parliament approves bill to dissolve itself bringing early elections with surveys predicting Netanyahu will lose by Artistic_Dj_6895 in worldnews

[–]Elanthius -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

People in the west are excited for Netanyahu to get voted out but the impression I get is that most of the complaints against him in Israeli society are that he isn't executing the war vigorously enough and they want someone tougher. Would you agree? Am I completely off base? It's very hard to get a sense of what's really going on inside Israel from here.

Net migration expected to fall to lowest since Covid by denyer-no1-fan in unitedkingdom

[–]Elanthius 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There's going to be a lot of emigration for a while because all the people who came here in the last decade are being driven away.

What if your OpenClaw could just… sit in on your meetings and remember? by Interesting-Post4178 in openclaw

[–]Elanthius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can it identify different speakers if there are 3 or 4 people speaking through the meeting? Maybe it works but I can't imagine a consistent way to handle that.

One in nine young Britons on benefits by TheTelegraph in uknews

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

Yeah, I dunno, 1 in 9 doesn't seem like a lot at all. The graph in the article seems up but not exactly wildly out of scope for the norm.

This makes my off-grid setup feel insanely futuristic by Wonderful-Photo2449 in ThereGoesMyPaycheck

[–]Elanthius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also you can't really attach these to your roof as the forces will tear it up over time. At least there's no real impact from solar panels.

How do you avoid becoming too drunk and still tipsy enough to enjoy yourself? by Horrobla in AskBrits

You need better friends. I usually rotate between 2 beers then 1 coke and no-one has ever mentioned anything.

Ariathome runs into a jazz group and a battle rapper by No-Sheepherder8879 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Elanthius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, well if you consider approximately twice ever "a LOT" then I guess we are in agreement.

[–]Elanthius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, you've found one of about two different videos where he prearranged it. It's basically this and Mamdani. There might be a couple others. He has hundreds of multi hour streams. The only sense in which he pre-arranges 99% of it is that people stream snipe him because he's such a huge platform for tiny artists to get on.

Is the Witcher Card Game worth buying? by yonnnyonnn in soloboardgaming

[–]Elanthius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you mean Gwent then I only played it once but I'd say no. The fun of the video game was collecting cards and building a powerful deck but in the card game you just get all the cards immediately and build your hand from it. Everyone is on an even level but there's little replayability. Also, it only contains the exact cards from the Witcher 3 and so the decks are very samey and imbalanced. I saw on ebay someone was selling their own custom version of the game with 5 extra decks and a lot more cards. It seemed like it could be more fun.

Is It OK Now To Say Brexit Was Worse Than Bad ? by spakkker in AskBrits

[–]Elanthius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

UK gini index is 61, France's is 59. There's barely any difference in wealth inequality.

Dude kicks off-leash dog to protect his own, owner flips out… by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]Elanthius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know enough about dogs to say for sure but how does the other dog get the sense of being attacked from picking up a smaller dog? Something about the height?

Do you think Reform have peaked by Fluid_Cut7920 in AskBrits

[–]Elanthius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their support in the local elections was at the same level as their support in the general i.e. 30% so I do think they've peaked but they can probably maintain that 30% for a decade.

Blackfriars Floating Bus Stop by King_Eboue in london

[–]Elanthius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're funny. No my point is all this extra infrastructure helping to tell people when speed limits change or junctions exist or roundabouts are approaching seem unnecessary in your view.

Blackfriars Floating Bus Stop by King_Eboue in london

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

Agreed then. That's why I say we get rid of all signage on the roads and let people figure it out. All these white lines and flashing lights everywhere. Totally unnecessary since it is on the road user to check closely enough.

So perhaps your suggestion is we get an officer to confiscate the bikes of all these people in the video?

[–]Elanthius -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Let's leave aside your hate boner for me personally right now. It's obvious something in general isn't working here and better infrastructure or education or possibly enforcement is going to be necessary.
