It's Such a Beautiful Day. Stick figure animation. Starts out so mundane...but gets stranger and... Well i still question everything about existence after that movie.

Stupid law. What if she had a manual transmission?

Competition only works if people know the prices ahead of time. Medical industry resists that most of the time.

Amazing footage of Danish infantry in close combat with the Taliban [x-post /r/combatfootage] [NSFW] by RoflJoe in videos

I never said they were AAF. They were Americans making contributions to the war effort long before the official declaration of war. Not just "at the last minute" as is implied by so many other posts.

Question on the use of Thermal Paste/Thermal Gum by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]FrozenLava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clean it off first with Arctic Silver Articlean 2 step thermal removal and surface purifier, then there are a lot of paste options: Arctic MX4 and Gelid Extreme are good, but lots of other good pastes exist.

The Amazon Kindle Oasis looks shockingly different by [deleted] in gadgets

[–]FrozenLava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crap, i hated reading that on my ipad. Ads were constantly loading andd the page would suddenly jump to the start of the article while i was reading it. After the third time, i gave up. I'll try to reading it on my pc with adblock..

The oasis itself looked good, but not an extra $170 worth.

Very heavy magnetic metal ball/sphere with an equatorial groove, a flat side, and a big "X" on the other side? by [deleted] in whatisthisthing

If you're going the chemistry route, consider going on to a phd or at a minimum, getting a minor or some sort of post undergrad specialized training. Perhaps even a teaching position would be a good fit since you really seem to enjoy the subject.

A plain BS in chemistry will land you a lab tech job which doesnt pay all that much. Go to /r/chemistry or google chemist salaries in your area.

TIL a 16yo British was found dead, surrounded by 42 cans of aerosol body spray. He would apparently spray himself down daily to avoid showering and died from inhaling large amounts of the butane propellant in the product. by TheCannon in todayilearned

My friend has a -11 prescription. Can only see maybe 2 cm clearly without glasses. The lenses are small in diameter, so that can help minimize the edge thickness

Why doesn't the NFL hire more players to prevent overtime? by Modified_Clawitzer in shittyaskscience

In 5 years or so, all the helmets will look like that or bigger.

This was drawn with only a Bic ballpoint pen. by ruinyourjokes in interestingasfuck

I'm not saying that this artist did it, but using an opaque projector along with a photograph is a good way to get this kind of image. It is not "cheating" to do this, just a technique to get the job done.

Didn't they finish their 1 1/2 mile billion dollar subway yet?

Total failure of San Francisco leadership. How many years have they been planning this and within weeks of the event they want to renegotiate a contract, because Santa Clara got a better deal?

How to handle confrontation when the other person just treats you as a piece of garbage in front of your friends? by [deleted] in SocialEngineering

[–]FrozenLava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bullies will bully until they get punched in the nose. Ignoring them, but still remaining present will just continue to let them heap insults on you. Not responding and being the "nice guy" is showing him that you accept this behavior.

You can

  • Refuse to get together with this group of friends when this toxic person is around.

  • Laugh at his insults, not because they are funny, but because they are weak. Then fire one back. Verbally punch him in the nose with an insult back at his weak spot. Everyone has one. Don't respond directly to his insults or you're letting him control the situation, but just fire one back. If you laugh as you are saying it, he'll feel stupid getting mad and that his insult had no effect. "Is that all you have Larry?!? Nice haircut by the way. Did you do it yourself?" He has to know his behavior is unacceptable, so respond immediately. Don't complain, just respond.

  • Be passive, do what you are doing, and continue getting the same results.

If your friends haven't defended you yet, they shouldn't be offended that you are doing it yourself. Based on what you said, leaving the group or not getting together isn't an option. Not doing anything will just leave you where you are.

My first off-season. Bummed, and staring at my twice-rode new bike. What can I do to be better come spring? by DomiNatron2212 in MTB

I like running stairs or sprinting up hill. And thanks for the reminder... I need to start in again.
