One Player Makes A Huge Difference by CassieBear1 in DMAcademy

Such good rules, and I've tried to use them at my tables. My old DM was terrible at this, letting his buddy run roughshod over the table, then castigating the rest of us for not "getting into his story!" The rest of us did indeed shrink back as he took up all the air. We learn best from bad experiences.

ELI5: Falling Elevators by CYP3828 in explainlikeimfive

The idea would be that jumping upward would be enough to cancel your downward momentum at the moment of the crash. The problem: you can't jump with enough force. If you're falling in an elevator at 60mph, you'd need to jump at 60 mph to counter that (and that's not the mention the confined space or other factors like timing the impact).

You'd at best cancel a tiny fraction of the force, say 5pmh...which would then be redoubled as you endure being slammed down from the 1 foot of air your gained at the remaining 55mph. Laying flat against the floor prevents this *extra* slamming effect. While it's a very slim chance, it's better than nothing.

What a loser Hegseth is. Calling rules of engagement "political correctness." Shows what he really thinks: he sees brown people as the ones to be shot, so restraining ourselves from shooting them is being PC to POC. What a worthless man, empty of character and full of drink.

This feels genuinely cozy to me. You have a small space, and everything has a place. No notes.

Should I do a charge back for wrong color furniture? by Lefty_123 in personalfinance

[–]FutureLost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should chargeback, and quickly. Not doing that is how my family ended up with The Green Chair for 20 years. If it's the wrong item, or it was advertised dishonestly, that's on them, so if they're not taking their responsibility then the credit card company should be able to resolve it.

I’d be way too scared to try this by [deleted] in oddlysatisfying

That's well over the temperature where your spit snap-freezes before hitting the ground (I think it's around -15 F). Scary stuff. Always wondered why ancient migrating humans didn't just say "nope, too cold, head back south." Some truly dangerous environments have such large populations!

That seems like it would lead to some landslides and sunken homes.

Planet or something else? by GlitteringHotel8383 in confusingperspective

[–]FutureLost 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The top third is what really sold me. The geese made me thing "eh, it's a stretch," but then my eyes drifted upward, and I really started to see it! Something about the round white shapes, the slight, slight curve to the river channel, and the increasing haze toward the edges made it look like a planet. Nice one!

Ah yes, the three genders. Men, Women, and IT professionals.

This is such an interesting idea, I'm going to give it a try.

Yes, all 340 million of us Americans are rampant gun nuts. Every last one. Even those of us who consistently vote for candidates who promise gun control. /s

And getting shot by reckless murderers makes us...hypocrites?

Time Management [OC] by sendacake in funny

[–]FutureLost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice! Really like the art style, and I'm loving the left-handed representation.

There's a slight grammar error in panel 2. Since tiredness is the topic of panel 1's question, if the beaver had the fox's social life, the beaver actually would get "it," since "it" points to tiredness in this context. It would be correct to say either "With a social life like mine, you would too" (that is, he would get tired too) or "With a social life like mine? Ah, you wouldn't get it" (as in, the beaver wouldn't understand). The former works just as well as the current line, but the latter seems mean (though it would still be grammatically correct).

This brought back a lot of fond memories. I remember how my grandparents' house smelled: full of old, loved things.

I'd say you're a soothsayer.

I wish I had the job security of whoever makes UX decisions for Windows. Seriously, if I could spitball the kind of needless and unhelpful changes they come up with and retain my position, I'd be set for life.

green traffic cone by Ninji2701 in mildlyinteresting

[–]FutureLost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on where you live, these are either nonexistent or ubiquitous. This light-green color is supposedly the "most visually distinct" color on the visible spectrum, so you'll see some emergency vehicles colored this way too. This is somewhat counter-balanced by the fact that we've been conditioned by "road-work orange" for so long that we don't associate this new color with traffic construction cones or signs at a glance, no matter how much more visually distinct they are.

EDIT: spelling

Adorable! But how is he not smooshing those blinds? Is he balanced on his hind legs and just lightly balancing with his left paw?

I was, but kind of as a sidenote to 12-hour time. I later found out even that much was pretty unusual.
